Amazing tribute to Tony De Vit
Well last night was awesome to say the least.... I'd not been out since dance island in July so I was already looking for to this event and it didn't fail to impress. Glowball went all out on this event and it paid off, there was a really friendly and energetic vibe which was electrifying to say the least. Kevin Energy played an awe inspiring set getting my night off to a kick stormer.

Best set of the night was clearly Elements A.L.I.V.E apart from the banging choon selections there was that added extra of a live guitarist and for all those that missed it! It was fucking legendary the guitarist was shit hot and never missed a beat

Also Ian M was another good if some what an emotional set playing all those true TvD classics and the sound that he pioneered.

All in all I'd say the night was a 10/10 for me and we also did something to help a charity raise some money. Which helps wipe the sins I did last night......

Thank you so much for your Kind words!

A lot of people wouldn't know that I actually cried the day that I found out we were to host this event.
I can’t even begin to explain what an influence Tony has been on my life.
I started Clubbing back in 96 when Tony was driving the hard dance scene to new levels! I truly believe we would not have the amazing scene we have now if people like Tony had not shown us the way.

Tony will always be a legend in my eyes and I feel honoured to have herd him play and to have met him a number of times. I can remember vividly the day I and a group of my friends joined the pilgrimage with thousands of other loyal followers as we made our way to Kidderminster to pay our last respects. But as time has proven the legend that is Tony De Vit has lived on in others and Tony will always be one of the true pioneers of the hard dance world.
10 years on and his legacy is still clear in the scene we cherish so much.

With this event we set out to produce the most fitting celebration of Tony’s life and wrap it all up in one night! Not just a very exciting venture but a daunting task!
We selected our ideal line up to represent the full spectrum of hard dance! A lot of who would have known Tony and all that would have taken inspiration from the man himself.
Admittedly there are a number of djs that would have been just as worthy of playing this event but I am very proud of everyone that performed to the highest of standards to make this night possible!
I am also very grateful to everyone that joined us in this celebration, some travelled amazing lengths to be there! I hope you all truly enjoyed the event!

For me though the most humbling thing would have to be Ray De Vit's appreciation of the night! In the lead up to the event I have had the pleasure of getting to know Ray (Tony's dad) A true legend himself! To know that you are as happy as you are with the night means the world to me!
I can only hope that Tony is looking down on us with the same appreciation.

For everything you gave us, this is our thank you!

May your legacy live for ever.

Well done to all at Glow Ball for hosting such a wicked event. All the DJs played great sets & along with the superb visuals & friendly clubbers made it a night to remember.

I managed to have a chat with Tony's dad Ray, who is just one of the nicest people you could meet & that really made my night.

Well done again & I look forward to future events coming up.

Yeah, top quality night. Highlights for me were Mark H (Loved the prodigy mash up), Elements & Techinkal (stroke of genius playing Save Me as your last tune). Was an amazing feeling during Alfs set when the balloons etc came in. Just bouncing up and down in a real party atmosphere. Brilliant :)
