oh dear, oh dear haha

You look like you've done a rather fat rack of regretamine lol!

next time i'll stick to 2 shandys

(this is a statement used after almost every weekend)

I can't drink / get wrecked at mo so I didn't go. I woulda probably looked worse otherwise I'm well up for the next one though better line up and much MUCH better venue lol.

ah well, despite the venue, and the dick head who hit me for absolutely no reason after the event but before the after party, this was a good night and i thought the line up was spot on.

does anybody know who the 'M.C.' was?

It's normally the same guy but his name escapes me.

same guy at tidy timez or the junction?

Tidy Timez

ah ok thanks,
is he nick grimshaw?

Don't know doesn't ring a bell I'm sure Wayne will enlighten us once he has recovered from the festivities.

Ha ha i took this pic u were sound hun can't believe ya got hit thats probs why we didnt see u at the after party which was spoilt by dickheads fightin so finished early ! the nite was a class nite other wise x

The event had been granted its extended license but due to the fault of the college not having the paper work which they only informed me at 8.30pm on the night that they couldn't stay open later than their normal license time. That night had been applied for and granted but they had to have the paper work to show. I tried negotiating to at least keep the music on till 1 but the principle said she was not willing to take the risk of a 20,000 fine. This was a really stressful point for me thinking was the best thing was to do. I rang kutski and asked if he would play a 2 hour set at the afters. I went staight to the junction to see if we could open earlier and also reduced entry by half price even though i knew that would of ruined the budget for the after party. The tidy djs had been payed already and were willing to play at the afters but due to some imature people fighting this ruined the chances of it staying open all night of which then i offerd every 1 a refund. I really do not see the point in fighting at events as people are their to enjoy themselves and it was due to a very small minority who made things close early. I sincerely apoligise for the earlier closure of the event and did try to keep things open.

I was back and forth all night trying to resolve these venue issues of which only got put up on me at last minute. I was suppose to be playing that night but didn't even get chance due to me trying to keep things going and the stess i had been put under.

123 pounds and 89 pence was raised in respect for steve o brady (of which 100 pound i donated myself)

Every 1 i spoke to on the night said they were enjoying themselves and the vast majority of people at the afters were even kind enough to say they didn't want a refund cause they enjoyed themselves and knew the closer was unprevenatable. The overheads of the event was really high and even though they were not reached i was still happy cause every 1 seemed to be enjoying themselves. Even Andy whitby said he enjoyed playing and it was a good vibe. But reading a couple of comments on here has upset me to see how they felt as the main point of these events areto know every 1 has had a good time. The feed back from regulars and photos was good but since coming on here its harsh to know the sheer amount of hours spent on the event has not made every 1 happy. I just wish that there had not been the fighting at the afters as the time i spent resolving the earlier closure of the college wouldn't of hardly been noticed. I once again apoligise for the certain individuals who did this

Wayne - hold your head up high matey - you did a spot on job all round!! Unfortunately it is the nature of the beast that things will go wrong on a night, every night that ever goes on has things that niggle away behind the scenes, quite simply because the minute you combine the potential for human error with late nights and lots of people to look after, something's gotta give!

But in all seriousness - it was a spot on night, myself and Rob OTT both felt the crowd was one of the most responsive we'd seen in a long time, even more so after a bit of a wierd gig in London the night before.

Fair play mate - you did well and showed that you act honourably even in the face of issues. Plenty of promoters wouldn't have the morals to offer refunds for the issues at the afterparty, you did, and it's a credit to you.

I'll PM you later as I'd be really keen to bring the DiabloTraxx Collective Live up to play for Harder Timez some point!!

See y'all soon!!

Ajay
