It's funny how even the little things that aren't
included at most raves can make a difference, for
example a tea tent with (wait for it) tables, chairs
and even bins. There were cornflakes for breakfast
and definitely a service with a smile. Well
impressed!
Moving on to the garage marquee which was situated
opposite the main hanger, old house was being
dropped at the beginning of the night (and believe
us when we say they played some tunes), progressing
onto the more garage side of things as the evening
wore on and yes we did see some face we recognised
in there who we thought were hardcore only.
The fairground rides between the marquee and hanger
were sadly shut down due to health and safety rules
but it's better it be safe than sorry.
The hanger itself where all the main events took
place was superb and to save any collisions, it had
an entrance and exit point guided by security who
were few and far between anywhere else on site,
which was a shame because although we don't like to
be searched heavily etc, they are there for our
safety. The production was to an excellent standard,
cost was obviously not an issue, although the sound
could have been a lot louder. The stage was set well
with video screens either side, arranged by Delta
Video.
PA's throughout the night were Bugg Kan & The
Plastic Jam, New Class A, N-Joi and Shades of
Rhythm. SOR certainly put on a show but we have to
say that N-Joi stole it. They've stuck to their
roots and have kept to techno and are still a top
class act, (so promoters take not). Anyway boys nice
to see you again, at last, and yes we were at the
front yelling our heads of...PHWOAR.
DJ's did not follow the same example, none of them
seemed to be on top form and the best set we heard
all night goes to Mickey Finn. All in all the
standard of organisation was excellent, World Dance
are fully aware of the teething problems, so we
expect that if the next one on October 3rd goes off,
it will be event better. Diaries clear.
