Bridgey Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Well, Well, Well.... The "Metrodome Crew" came up trumps once again.... We had such a "Fantastic Night" 5 of us travelling from York and well worth the journey.... All the DJ's did themselves proud playing "Top Choons" all night long in the Main Room.... The FULL Dance Floor answered that.... WELL DONE. Already looking forward to the 27th February, when they take over the entire building using 4 rooms and of course all monies going to "Yorkshire Air Ambulance" and "The Holiday Hospital Home" (helping sick children).... THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN FOR A "BRILLIANT" NIGHT.... and to top it all off, Linda won 3rd Prize in the "FREE RAFFLE". KTF.................... Bridgey & Linda. Link to comment

FROM THE WELCOME FACES AT THE DOOR TO THE EXCELLENT BAR STAFF TO THE ALLROUND QUALITY OF THE VENUE/DJs/ MUSIC IT JUST HAS TO BE PROBABLY THE BEST ALL ROUND SOUL NITE IN YORKSHIRE. AS YOU PROBABLY NOTICED ME,MATTY AND THE GIRLS SPENT NEARLY ALL NIGHT IN THE "ZONE" LISTENING TO THE BRILLIANT FRIENDSHIP BOYS,MARK and GEORDIE PLAYING AN AMAZING ARRAY OF 70s AND CROSSOVER SOUNDS AND THESE GUYS SET THE TONE FOR THE MAIN MAN "TATS" TAYLOR WHO PLAYED SOME AMAZING CHOONS. THIS ROOM AND AND ITS RESIDENT DJs AND GUESTS ARE REALLY THE UNDERSTATED GEM OF WHAT IS THE METRODOME SOUL NITE. AT MY LAST VISIT TO THE DOME MARK AND GEORDIE BLEW ME AWAY WITH THEIR SELECTION OF TUNES AND VIRTUALLY DID THE SAME THIS TIME AROUND. BOTH ME AND MATTY HAVE NOW PENNED ALL THE DATES FOR 2010 ON THE NEW CALENDERS SO UNFORTUNATELY YOU WILL HAVE TO PUT UP WITH US A LOT MORE NEXT YEAR!!!!

Guest Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 (edited) It was a real hoss , ridden into and around Studio 54 by Bianca Jagger , and though bearing a striking resemblence to Mr Ed , was not him . Mr Ed was an American Palomino Saddlebred who was " played " by gelding Bamboo Harvester , and despite his celebrity status , failed to get into Studio 54 on several occasions ....... Strange but true ...... Studio 54 had a " northern " connection - the building that housed it - 254 West 54th Street , between Broadway and Eighth Avenue - was the former home of Scepter Records .

Paul Webster Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Spent most of the night in the chill out room and have to say at times it was rockin. The 2 residents Mark & Geordie know how to fill the dancefloor and own some crackin toones. And yes Geordie we now know you have one of only two copies of Black Box but thanks for reminding us lol. Must say the atmosphere and sound system seemed much better in the main ballroom, had to have something to do with the temporary hanging roof. It made it more homely. Only one complaint and yes you've guessed it "the rock hard floor", can you have a word with the management Yockie and ask them if they can consider buying a maple sprung basketball court, tell them its taken off big style in the states and you never know they might fall for it. To team tarn for all your hard work well done. KTF Paul & Ann Link to comment
John Benson Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Have to agree, it was a good night in there Also to an extent, I have to agree with Tats when he commented that these guys don't need a guest DJ - they've got enough records on their own! Maybe it was due to the fact they'd played most of his box before he went on? Seriously though, a really good night and well recommended if you've not been Link to comment

Liljimmycrank Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Absolutely gutted to have missed this!!! Was all set to go with the old man and Matty, then realised i'd double booked myself with one of my best mates 30th birthday celebrations i am. By the sounds of what was played in the chillout room, i've missed a corker of a night. Any playlists?? After a few beers Matty's memory's got more holes in it than a slice of your finest emmental cheese!! Really need to get over to the Metrodome, it's on the calander now for sure. All the best, and hope the promoters keep up the great work they've put into this place. Azza Link to comment
MarkWhiteley Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 What a great night for us in the CHILLOUT ZONE, healthy crowd all night and a pleasure to play for all the dancers Looks like this room is now well and truly on the Metrodome map Thanx so much to all who joined us and also to those who just ventured in to say hello. A special mention for our guest DJ on the night 'Tats' Taylor, stunning set as ever,hopefully he'll be back for the February charity bash thanx to Roy & Matty for the kind words, you'll have to bring the youngster nextime Steal the old mans CD's Azza, that will give you some idea of the sort of stuff played. As ever thanx to the organisers for having the faith in us to allow us to 'do what we do' Roll on next time M. ' Link to comment
