Boogaloo Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Well Ken, it was a blast. Makes you glad you live in the capital for the sort of nights that happen here. Superb company with some of my favourite people, great venue and musically just spot on. Not a bad tune all night but must say I thought Marco's spot was inspired. Ken, just get yourself a motorbike.

Guest Mrs Simsy Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Poor Ken, we wondered if you were coming! Outstanding, top class night! It's been a while since i stayed right until the bitter end at a soul do but last night i just didn't want to go home! Music was fabulous, thought all the DJs were great-particularly enjoyed Marco's first set. Nice crowd in, was full by 11.30pm & the atmosphere was buzzing, dancefloor full most of the night & a very sociable gang of smokers! See you NYE! P.S Just posting some pictures in the gallery.

Prophonics 2029 Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Great to see this night pull out people I have not seen for years. Superb sounds from Nick, a few surprises from Marco but with Joel, Ady and Yann at the helm not much could go wrong on the dance floor. Quiet a few quotes about how good the sound was this time. Roll on NYE. Link to comment
Guest Ollie Lailey Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 What a night! The music was faultless.

Guest D'Arcy Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 What a cracking night, superb music, great venue and how nice to see so many friends out and about. Thoughly enjoyed myself. Great sets by everyone, but particularly enjoyed Marco's first set. The man has great taste. In summary the night was just what a good soul night should be, a fun, laughter filled and enjoyable night, listening to great music. Long may it continue. Many thanks guys, just what the doctor ordered. Link to comment
Theresa Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Another most enjoyable night at Va Va Voom for the South London Massive - got there early doors (thanks for the complimentary CDs guys) and it was hard to stay off the floor at any stage of the evening. I couldn't believe it when Ady & Yann announced that it was 3 o'clock and there were only two more rekkids to go! A liberal sprinkling of fab 70s mixed seamlessly with the upfront 60s, just perfect for me. Consistent quality throughout but I thought Marco played artfully to the floor and got everyone whipped up into a frenzy. Or maybe we just had too much champagne Such a friendly crowd, with none of the usual London lack of etiquette, plus our charming Spanish visitors once again. Great venue, easy parking, it's a no-brainer for New Year's Eve. Roll on December Link to comment

Ady Lupton Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Thank you for all your kind posts & thank you all for supporting us & making it such a great night! Shame you couldn't make it Ken,you missed a good one if I say so myself. Had the usual nerves until about 11.30 but by then the place had started to fill up. Thanks to all our friends for always making it a good,sociable & fun endeavour. Thanks to Nick & Marco for their great sets & Yann & Joel for their sets & help in organizing & running it all. Thanks to Jet for your door services. A big thanks to all our Spanish family for flying in just for the night! See you next Friday. All went too quickly & didn't even get a chance to say hello to a lot of friends. Got the sound system just about right this time,wasn't too much 70's for which I apologize to folks who were expecting a bit more but everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Will get some playlists up soon & if anyones got anymore photos of the night we'd like have some for our website if possible please? We'll be back at this venue next year but before then we look forward to seeing you all for our New Years Eve allnighter at The Venue 229 Great Portland St(where they normally have Crossfire,not at The Boston Music Rooms Theresa). Thanks again everyone! Ady Link to comment
