I never got the opportunity to attend the Empress Ballrooms when Yocki and the crew run it :D But would never go near a place like that after what's gone on :lamsey:

Surly it ain't gonna be run by anyone on the N/S scene is it ? or am I a bit naive :no:

Don

PS.......got to the first Metrodome night and enjoyed it :thumbup:

Sorry to say I saw this coming, I tried to convince myself that they won't stupe so low, but not usually wrong, and in this case I wasn't. I have been informed that the dj's will be of the same caliber as what we put on when we had it !!! so the plot thickens. I am sure it will all come out in the wash, but hey what about the metrodome ? I have it striaght from the horses mouth, they won't let someone in at the back door, so along with it being a great venue with have someone to work with who has principles.

So we wait with baited breath.

Thank you all for all your support and understanding.

Anybody opening a 'book' yet on who it is....I sense I could make a few quid here,but maybe not it could be short odds on first show... we'll see shall we.

To build a sucessful night and then have another "promoter" whispering in the ear of the venue owner is the LOWEST OF THE LOW.

Still when certain promoters mix with SNAKES, then they see that you can S**t all over people and they will still come back for more. They want to try and make some £££££s because thats what rules their sad little life.!

We will be watching the list of DJs at this venue with great interest, NOBODY is going to s**t on nice people like Joy, Yocky and the gang that worked so hard to establish this venue and get away with it ! As I said before SCABS.

What a underhanded thing to do.

Yocki and co.. its a pity you can't take some kind of legal action because in a sense its your kind of "intellectual property" you have proved the format and they (whoever they are) are riding on the back of your success (or they are hoping too).

SCABS!

Hi joy

these names were mentioned early last year.Unlike yourselves and many more people who are part of our

wonderful scene they work from thier pockets not thier hearts.Iknow these sort of scabby slimey snakes

probably think its fine to s..t on people like yourselves but oh boy i think they cud hev a bit of a shock comin.metrodome was a big success..the numbers say it all and it will be even bigger at the next one.

I would like to ask people to vote with thier feet n thier hearts and i for one will never crossover the door of that place.

JOY YOCKY NEL JEAN LINDA DAVE worked so hard at empress only to be s..t on.

Well lets not give em chance to rub it in.k.t.f

Hello my little friend.

Hope you ad a gud nite n well done on the money you raised. :thumbup:

I dont think these folk mind who they trample on so long as they keep thier pockets well lined.

Unlike joy yocky n team.(WHO PUT A FREE CHRISTMAS SPECIAL ON AT EMPRESS) n gave us soulies

something back to say thankyou for our support.

Who always donate to other charity events no matter how many come up.

And remember joy n yocky hev bin outta work for a very long time.(tho yock as just got himself a well deserved job :lol:

D jin for nothing more times than any of this team would even consider.(its all about money n how much can be made.)

How can they call themselves soulies because im sure we dont treat each other like this.

THATS WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL INT IT!!!!!

See you and sue soon.x

Hello paul.

Totaly agree with your comments.

Its disgusting how some people behave.(they have no thought for anyone else)

The metrodome team have had many phonecalls and words of support.

Dont know how some folk can sleep at night.

Hope to see you soon. Shirl.x

Having not been to Empress or Metrodome I think its time to reveal the names of these people so we know who to avoid like the fookin plague. Things like this really get my goat up. They have obviously shit on you guys from the Empress so please dont be bothered about shitting on them. NAME AND SHAME at least for those of use who DO vote with our feet.!!

A good venue needs good promoters and the good promoters have moved to

THE METRODOME

If you want a quality night dont accept second best or events run by people who put profit before passion.

Team Yockster, Nell and Co put their hearts and souls, their names and a lot more into running a venue thats why they are successful, thats why people like them as individuals and thats why

mark W and myself are honoured to help with the chill out room at the metrodome.

If the Empress want to run a night let them, its their club, but you cant buy loyalty or friends, the fact there is no mention of a dj line up or a promoter tells me a lot....

Whoever you are doing this event...and i hope your reading this... dont try to hang on the shirt tails of what was..... thats gone.... the Empress ballroom didnt make the event work.... the promoters did and they have moved on ...

I for one will never step foot in the building again.
