Got to agree with Northern Star, it was a truly ace night. We arrived there about 10ish as every classics night that i have been to at satchmo's in the last year has been rammed and by the time i have dragged my ass there the bouncers are refusing to let anyone else in.
Got upstairs about 10.30 and can say that i never sat down til my feet gave up about 3.15!! Pete Bromley is an absolute legend
He can turn his hand to any style!! He played some absolute corkers on the night and he even played a few Golden classics.
I have to say that i was a bit let down by Dave Seaman though, he played every record right to the end and let them run out as if he forgot how to mix and then forgot that it was a shelleys night and played some new stuff. He did play some crackers tho, stuff that i havent heard in years - Crazy man by Blast and of course he had to play some of his remixes....eurythmics comes to mind
I was even expecting a 'clock strikes upon the hour' when Dave S dropped Leftfield- Not forgotten and i saw pete B rushing about the dj box cueing up a record, but he played always there accapella instead. (Pete has been known to recreate this Sasha mix and others on classics nights !!)
Highlight of my night was when Pete Came back on the decks and played 'let there be house' over The b sides........OMG, everyone went mental.
Havent been out in ages and if i only have to go out for one night a year then this would be it.
Northern Star - The next classics night will be easter Bank holiday Sunday as Reckless hold old skool classics nights there every Bank Holiday, but they dont always have a guest dj on. It is well worth it, but get there early as it is normally rammed in there. I think the reason that Saturday wasnt as full was because it was in between crimbo and NYE
