Over from Oz earlier this month and decided to go to the much closer Blackpool Wintergardens allnighter instead of my preferred venue the Rugby Allnighter (due to the shite weather).

First impression - fantastic venue and dancefloor and, how refreshing, there's a couple of cameras over each deck to demonstrate the OVO policy. Great opening set by Richard Searling, although no surprises whatsoever, then on comes Colin Curtis. Leaving it a bit late to cue up I thought but then realised he was pressing buttons on a CD deck - and proceeded to do a full 90 minute Mecca set from CDs!

So what's the crack, has he sold up? And how come he still gets invited to DJ? Is this common at these "handbag" type of venues? If anybody other than me gave a shit, they certainly weren't showing it.

Cheers......Pete

  • That shows how much you know..... Colin Curtis is still inspiring dance floors and listeners alike with great, obscure, and under-played music.... Not sold out
