I have to echo all the above sentiments...

Great music..friendly people, good venue.

Spent most of the night in the R&B room.

Great toons from Ted, Bob, Joe & Killa...

But for me Mik Parrys spot was sublime....A superb mix of Knowns...Semi Knowns, Unknowns.......&...THAT RECORD....You know the one...I MUST HAVE IT...Life as we know it depends entirely on me getting a copy :thumbsup:

Had intelligent in depth conversations, with many folk...captive in nicotine corner....ha ha ha...there was no escape for you...was there?

Mo my friend, where did you go...I was just getting started

Hi Karen....Hi Howard.

Was all set to have intelligent indepth conversation with Mickey Cruise & his love child...but after sitting with them for half an hour, I realised that this would not be possible, without doing myself some sort of mental injury...so slipped away unseen via side entrance.

OH Bugger...It has just been pointed out to me by a trusted friend that ...the indepth, intelligent conversations of last night...were a mere figment of my imagination. The reality being, that I had spent most of the evening talking drivel, garbage and nonsense to those poor unsuspecting sods... trying to have a quiet fag.

Going for a lie down in a darkened room....Linda

Felt like rubbish before getting on the coach (due to too much coffee), almost didn't get on the coach but decided to let the caffine wear off.

Wow so glad I went, great sounds even better people, came home and chewed my dear wifes ear off, telling her what a great time I had. A very big thanks to Mickey and Rose, Linda and Rob for running me around. :thumbsup:

billy, that knock to the head saturday night has done you some serious harm on the humour front - but what a great drive home, hilarious - and you are right i am "no spring turkey" :wicked:

had another great night.

thank god for Dave Rimmer, who for me turned the night around musically with an hours worth of quality up-tempo 60's soul. shame about the sound system - which i thought had been sorted out??? - was like being underwater. but then i would have liked to have been underwater as it was so damn hot; i sweated so much my jeans didnt fit me when i put them back on to go home - and no i wasnt dancing in my pants :huh:

lovely to see Mark et al again, sorry i didnt get round to having a chat with tim aka bob; too much dancing! are you guys going to the burnley friday nighter in a couple of weeks?

the RnB (store)room was excellent from what i briefly heard - great to finally say hello to Perdita! there was some noise pollution between this room and the main room though....but all in all a great night for me :lol:

Hi "norwichdancer", nice to meet you too, didn't even ask you your real name!

Really enjoyed the night as well, RnB room was excellent musicwise, too hot and stuffy tho (and small, think the RnB folk should get the modern room!!) but dancefloor was perfect - nice and slippy. Only spent about 30 seconds on mainroom dancefloor but thought it was fine (sorry Maark!)

Great to see Shirl, Linda, Merv (who had no underpants on :wicked: ) and all the rest of the RnB lunatics........

See y'all again soon.

Why are you sorry Perdita? I wish the Aquarius no ill and I'm more than happy if it was only me who had a problem with the dancefloor. As long as those that went had a great time, that's all that counts. I went to the Cream Cracker with one of the slippiest dance floors ever, but that's a different story.............

Thought it was a good night. A great venue with great potential, thanks to Joe for asking me to play & the R&B in the R&B room was one of the best, most energetic nights of R&B I've ever heard, great loud sound, just a shame it was like a sauna in there, some fans needed next time should sort it out.

As for the main room, thought it was a great room and noticed nothing wrong with the dancefloor but the sound needs sorting out. If a bunch of crusty free party techno types can get together a decent rig, them I'm sure you can. I'm particularly fussy about sound but after the clearness of the R&B room, it felt like you were listening to it from the bottom of the swimming pool and while the music seemed great, the sound didn't do it justice.

Maybe my ears had had a battering from the super loud R&B room, but it took me a minute to realise what track was playing sometimes.

Greatnight all in all though!

Greatnight all in all though!

Agree about the poor sound quality in the main room but this wasn't helped by the music from the R'nB room drifting into the main hall. I was at the back of the main room all night (ok I could have moved) and I could hear the R'nB in my left ear all night! Think the promoter really needs to make the decision of only using venues where the rooms don't interfere with each other. Just my opinion...
