Big thanks to Chris Loizou for supplying the ten free pints - they went to the first ten through the door - so all your juicers out there, get in early next time!

See you all in June. By then there should be listings and flyers floating around...

[Matt Hero]

Nick, you might want to change 'Chris Hero' to 'Rich Hero' or you'll get a hissy fit from the man himself. And that is never nice

[Rich Hero]

Yeah, when did I turn from a Richard to a Christopher (not that there's anything wrong with the name)???


Thank you llmod1 for playing the request! And full marks to the Ed for pulling off a top 80's set without any irony needed. Noice!!!

[Nick Cope]

Apologies Rich! I'm shit with stuff like talking and names... You won't believe that amount of times I do that! By the way, here's a clever way of remembering someone's name - ask them, and then when they tell you, say "I mean your surname" like you wanna write it down or something!

Someone told me that the other day, can't remember who though...

[pokester]

I am in London next month so I will come too the next one.
Looking forward...

[Rich Hero]

No apology necessary Nick, but thanks! And I'm already looking forward to the next one too - June 9th right?

[cell]

Arrrghhhh, i missed it! and im going to miss the next one, pesky exams

looks like a pretty eclectic playlist (good idea that btw, it could get put on the flyers),

well done e-man holding it down for the eighties ... represent!

[pokester]

I was just wondring are there any other countries represented on that night ?

We've had Cal from Australia come down in the past.

Also Dreidal Menorah (Soul Strut site) from LA, when he was in town.

Don't forget SCOTLAND - Fryer

and I suppose Me and Ed could sorta represent the country of "Northernland" as well ?

[sermad]

Im half iraqi...

[Rich Hero]

And I hail from Croydon.

[La-Soul-Fiend]

Greeeeeeeeat! I missed the whole damn shhh-bang! I was over Camden way in Dingwalls to check Buck 65 and jolly good it was too! Even though this meant having to trawl all the mad feedback on the night posted hither and thither! Nice [esp for those of us who could'nt make it] to post up everybody's sets. Nice and then again bloody frustrating to see everything I missed, shite!

It's evident from the posts before that this is taking on a new and pretty exciting profile! Does this mean that we're soon gonna' bear witness to the eventual, but long overdue triumph of real music played out in a London setting?

The most exciting thing for me last meet was the overwhelming presence of the funk, involving the full spectrum of this music and not reducing the nights sets to the typically narrow margins which govern most proper funk do's in London. That is a blessing and reading those play lists, it's obviously continuing to broaden which is only possible with the right kind of attitude to the music [which for all the nerdy undertones of a meet like this, is as diverse and open minded as it could ever be] Damn wish I made it though!
Here's to the next one.
