Guest NASHEE Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 (edited) Just starting to recover from last nights escapade. I have to admit that I was more than a little sad that we had to miss 'NO MORE DOGGIN' I have always bemoaned people who talk of how great such and such a venue is....How they love to go somewhere and hear new tunes, where DJ's kick off the restraints regarding what is and isn't acceptable....Then when the night is on...they're conspicuous by their absence. Sadly last night...I was one of these people. Sorry Kev petal. We rely on lifts to venues as I am a driver....who detests driving. Bob Morris bless him, comes to the rescue and ferries us about from venue to venue, and as we have very much the same taste....there is very rarely any conflict, but alas...last night was different, and off we toddled to Almwch. The place is brill...A one roomer...and what a great size room...in the words of Goldilocks...not too big...not to small...but just right. Lots of faces there that I'd not seen for ages, lots of hugs...loves and laughs. Lots of great music played....a superb mix of known, semi known & from where I was standing....there didn't seem to be anyone who wasn't having a good time. Spots that stood out for me...messers Mace, Sardot & Thomas....Jeez at one point, I even took to the floor myself for half an hour, a miracle in it's own right...as normally, I'm a listener, a writer down and an asker of questions I suffer from an incurable condition that prevents any of the rhythm I feel in my soul, being transfered to my feetand can only very rarely be found shaking my ass on the dancefloor. Believe me, this spectacle is not for the faint hearted. It was great to see my friend Ray and his mates from Ireland once again...I do hope he and all my other helpless victims have recovered from the effects of my insessant verballing and have all returned safely to the peace and quiet of their homes. Ahh I do have one request....Could we nicotine addicts have music piped out to the carpark next time please Nashee xxxx Edited June 24, 2007 by NASHEE Link to comment

Mace Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Had a top night.....loved the venue, music and company... On the beer from just after 6 p.m in Wazz's car, till about 4.30 a.m. in the morning when I flaked out for an hour or so (lightweight that I am) but managed to return for the last few hours and even managed to win the Pogo stick that Jumpin' Joan donated to the raffle...( gotta be some sort of company promotional branding in there somewhere ) Crowd seemed well up for it, especially the latin stuff.... Many thanks to Steve Thomas & co for asking me to spin a few, Wazz & Lorraine for the lift, Mike the Bike for singing the first line or so of Dena Barnes repeatedly all the way there in the car (can some f*cker please supply him with the full lyrics.... ) Also got to mention, got one or three pints bought for me by Chris Waterman last night He must be after something....... Quality night lads... There you go then....isn't it... Link to comment

Guest Marcelle Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 (edited) Ditto to all that has already been said ..... (as most if not all, already know I just love this venue I wont bore you with my bias opinion again) It is always a pleasure to travel YES even with Chris & Cruise Man as companions NOT that many miles when you know your going to be in for party. WE (as in the royal WE ) decided as a treat to book into a Hotel for the Sunday Night, im so glad that we booked into this one .... it is owned & run by a SOULIES from the North, Stockport they did mentioned a few clubs that they used to go to (but my memory being as it is I can only sort of remember a bit of the names PocoPoco ? was one. Im sure their will be someone on here who will correct me (please) .... They where wonderfully welcoming allowing us to pick up the keys Sat night so that we could get to the room early Sun am (complete with Four Poster beautiful sea views, rooms where clean, spacious, en suite top hotel which we will be booking again) No you cynical people we didnt get it for free though because we did say we where going to Almwch we got an exellant deal. They are planning a music festival in August, at the hotel it has a few rooms that they will be using, including a room with a WOODEN DANCE FLOOR ..... I am preety sure someone will post on here details nearer the time .... Now to the night ..... BALLOONS POPPERS & TOYS all laid out ready for a party ..... Was good to see Mace yes MACE on the dance floor strutting his stuff (picture will be posted soon) in between DJing, sleeping & being naughty with Chris so much so that they GOT TOLD OFF, by our one & only Nashee who I saw strutting her stuff on more than one occassion unfortuntly by this time I had the camera confiscated for being a STALKER ! The Irish crew certaintly looked like they where having a great time (fair play to them for traveling the distance) Thanks to Lorraine & Wazz for thier fun company (& I will check with Steve about fixing that hole in the roof ! ) totaly enjoyed your set Wazz .... thank you x I thought I travelled a distance but these guys drove for 5hrs, yes 5hrs (I didnt know Wales was that big) to play & support a venue "commitment or madness" well if they hadnt brought Mace & Mike I would have said COMMITMENT, but as they brought them well gotta to be MADNESS ! hehe Sorry to the DJs who played later, knee gave in so I had to sit down towards the end .... im not very good at pacing myself ...... homework to be done before 30th "Learn about pacing" .... Is always good to see new faces travelling the distance .... nice to see you there Rick. Thanks you mad lot for inviting me to PARTY NIGHT .... oh forgot you didnt invite me I gatecrashed ! Oh & to all those people who reminded Chris about the ROMANTIC WALK he could take me on along the shore ..... He did ! AWWWW how sweet xxx Thanks Guys as always I had a great time xx 1.

stomper45 Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 met up in dun laoghaire about 5, and arrived Hollyhead's Edinburgh castle Pub bout 8pm, minibus arranged by the soulman collected us, with lyddia collecting the last 2 in the pub wendy & me. arrived via steve's house in Amwych bout 9.... A well laid out venue, with friendly vibe and even friendlier people. Had our table ready made for us with balloons and assorted party bits aaaagh nice 1. a great mix of tunes, with nothing overplayed or repeated by a roster of djs be hard to beat, lotsa "what's that one" moments as i tried to txt meself garbled predictive txt messages, wouldnt want to single out anyone as they all played a blinder, with something for everyone. Leaving my trusty crusty cardigan behind again..reluctantly we had to leave bout 8 to get ferry (again thanks Lyddia for getting us back in time). Spent sunday crying for my cardigan and trying to read the lipstick messages on my belly,even with 2 mirrors couldn make em out Cheers Chris W for the pint, funkyfeet for some nice sales.
