Thought i'd best do a review straight away befroe things get too messy
Reet . . . Set off at 8:15 giddy as a school kid, got there bout 9:30 to be greeted by eddy osborne (with his new long hair) dropped off mi record box and proceeded to the bar
not many in at this point but loads of old faces i aint seen in ages
On the dex was dj perky who was warming the crowd up as more ppl entered the building . . . apparantly one of the dex was fooooked so another needed to be brought down
But never the less perky still played a blinder (really loving gongo - masta blasta
) was a mint set to enter the club to, got me going anyways
10:00 came and I proceeded to the dex to start mi set, was playing a zone synth set and wasn't sure how it would go down at that point in the night
but my question was soon answered by 2 tunes into my set and the dancefloor was full
(well buzzing) the place was pretty full now with everyone well enjoying it
best part for me was seeing gaz trying to keep up his dancing with the speed of the dex, lol
well done mate, ya did well
After i'd finished on came paul h to take over who did ded well to say the pace got slowed well down from my previous set
starting nicely with atomic house
and including laura palmer (that fooooker went down a treat
) thoroughly enjoyed every tune
By this point the night was in full swing with everyone just dancing and enjoying themselves
everyone friendly and all there for the same thing 'a jolly goodtime'
After paul h on the dex was the man like andy pendle who did exactly what he sets out to do and plays a blinder
playing all sorts of uk piano, italo piano, breakbeat and oldskool hardcore . . . all blended together beautifully
Up to this point all the sets had been top notch
the only dj's left were eddy and ben (and boy did they have some wicked sets to beat)
But . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . because of a bit of bother (wont go into detail) eddy was kicked out of the club which meant Ben needed some one to take eddy's place back 2 back with him
Luckily hikkyb had a bag of tunes in his car, so I grabbed em and joined ben on the dex for the last 2 hours
and what a 2 hours it was, ben went first and got the crowd hooked straight away by playing BLACK BOX - RIDE ON TIME
the crowd went absolutely bonkers and they continued through out the set
We did 2 tunes each and did reeet well, ben were sticking loads of uk piano and bowlers stuff whilst i were hitting back with italo and a bit of synth
second to last tune i put sunscreem - pressurs us (not played it in ages) and the crowd went nuts for it (in fact, so did I)
The night finished bang on 3 and everyone was turfed out, with no bother at all, everyone just buzzing about the good time they just had
tunes of the night from each dj were for me:
- DJ PERKY GONGO - MASTA BLASTA
- PAUL H LAURA PALMER = IN THE MIX
- ME METRO = READY ON THE NIGHT
- ANDY PENDLE DERRY HALL = JUST FOR WEEK-END
- BEN & ME BLACK BOX = RIDE ON TIME
- SUNSCREEM = PRESSURE US
Tune which got the best reaction from the crowd:
BLACKBOX - RIDE ON TIME
Well that was the night in general music wise and attitude wise.
Onto the ppl, I love GT for the crowd, all the old faces who used to go when it first started
ppl I aint seen in ages, it's like we've all just sat at home waiting for the day when GT would return
Good to see again: FOXY, GEMMA, GINGERJIM, RUSH FX, PAUL H, and all others who are true GT followers.
