Been quite a while since I've ventured over to GT 'cos Hazy is right on my doorstep, but seeing as I missed Hazy thought I'd get across to see everyone and wasn't disappointed, had a top night both in the club and back at the mash-up.
Picked up SteJ and Dannster from their house and headed over to the club, managed to forget the club was in Huddersfield and headed straight into Halifax town centre first before realising someone had moved the club!
Got to the club just as Rabbitcity's set was ending
sorry to have missed it! Most peeps were already in there, nice to see Pixie after so long (over a year?)
and Pauly P too
Thought there was an excellent variety of music in there from everyone I heard - Sully, Ben, Cano & Eddie, you seemed to have worked it out between you to cover a lot of different styles and as Ben mentioned nothing got played twice, which is always better than when people are turning up just before their set starts having listened to nothing else anyone has played and bangs out the same as the previous
Had a good old stomp throughout the night, mainly around the stage at the front with the odd little mission elsewhere, thought there was a good number of peeps in there, seemed a little quiet at first but filled up pretty quickly & there was a better percentage of openly buzzin & friendly faces than last time I came across (apart from the sudden western saloon style brawl erupting at one point, but it was dealt with quickly which is all you can do)
Was only planning on heading back to Manchester, having a couple of drinks and then trying to get my head down afterwards, but had to go and see the Santa's Grotto. Top marks to Ben, Superdan & Gaz for that - it was absolutely hilarious
Led down the stairs by the elf and sat on santa's knee "my, you're a big fella!", pose for the photo and pick a nicely wrapped present from his bulging sack. Went for a long thin shaped present seeing as it the same shape as me & was delighted with a rifle which made firing noises when you pulled the trigger. Was going to saw the barrels in half for a bit more street cred, but couldnt find a hacksaw.
Was funny as fek watching one after another peeps being led down and then coming back up all smiles to see what they'd got.
I did take a camera, but once again it stayed in my pocket all night, think I got one of the grotto and of santa and the elf tho so I'll up them later in the week.
Superb night all round that one so big thanks to .............
