    Latest news from Ian the promoter..
    ” Ce Ce is in the back of the car trying to teach Daisy (Ian’s Toddler daughter) to rap!!” 😀

    Not long now, a quick disco nap, a shower and then go and pick the gang up who we are going with..
    Photos no doubt will follow 😀

    I dunno where to start… the night was a total blur!
    All the PA’s were totally Ace but we missed most of each of them as we were in the green room or backstage, i dont normally like Mike Knowler but he, gawd bless him, went against the expected Quadrant park type set & played to the crowd and pulled of a brilliant deep prog set 😀
    Marshal & CE Ce totally blew the roof off and then it was Barries turn..
    Barrie is a pure vynalist but there were CDJ’s on the stage, in an odd layout that favoured the CDJs over the 1210’s so you had to really reach for the mixer.
    I was on stage with him getting pics and i could see him really struggling, i wouldn’t say fluffing mixes because they went smoothly enough, but i would say compromising his usual style
    Near the end he turned to me and Maz and in all seriousness and totally concerned, asked “Did i do allright?”
    I just pointed out to the crowd going Ape and said what do you think?
    Barrie all worried:

    And the crowd reaction!

    John J, Barries mate and old partner from the Zone was up next and lifted the bar again… The two best sets of the night as far as im concerned especially going on directly after the godfathers of house!
    John J Smashing it

    Again we missed Steve Perrys last set of the night due to being in the green room during, but from the sounds drifting downstairs the crowd lapped it up!

    I really have no idea how the promoters, Ian & Lisa keep pulling these nights off so successfully!

    The surprise of the night was Mike Knowler, Phil.. its no big secret that im not his biggest fan musically, but that night, he threw the Quadrant Park rule and Tune list right out and played a piano / prog house set and really played to the crowd, the floor was electric. He worked his heart out…
    I have photo’s of him as he was finishing and he was drenched in sweat!

    Oh yeah… Maggie from Scarlet Fantastic… THE most genuine all round nice person EVOH! She is just 100% percent brilliant!
    At one point it was “said in jest ” by one of the crowd that they would give the charity £100 for a private session from Maggie..
    He & his family & friends got dragged down to the green room and treated to an accoustic set from Scarlet fantastic..
