Something New...

Something New...

So - everyone's gutted about us losing our favourite night - Why doesn't someone do something about it?


Vuzz - Let's get it going again... there's gotta be a market for it now on a weekend... People don't have a choice!

Twisted - Mick/Jim - What about monthly weekend parties?

i don't think foundation would consider another night like Promise - no-one would DARE try and compare to what success it's had - BUT a smaller night at a smaller club would probably work... Mono was good - Vuzz was ticking over, wasn't it?

What other options are there in Newcastle? Surley someone off this board has some ideas? All you people shouting 'LOCAL TALENT' - well - Let's get some ideas together.

The Man of Science MAY even come out of retirement to grace the 1's and 2's (thats what we called them in my day..) - thats BOUND to get the punter flowing - what an offer!!!!! Chooo Chooo!


So - What do people think?

i think one of the nights should definately go for it, i think what they were doing in the first place by booking the odd guest dj was good, only problem was that they had promise to compete with, now with their being a big hole for trance in the northeast i think things could work, i cant see a problem with them moving to foundation if the night get more popular either

i can't see foundation working - Promise was BIG and even it hasn't managed to keep going... smaller would work to cater for what seems to be the smaller target audience out there..

i think it's a great idea - no doubt the twisted lads have already thought about it. definately think the potential is there just hope somebody gives it a go, it'd be well worth it with there not being a major trance night in town anymore

I'd love to see it happen. I agree possibly a bit smaller than foundation but it would have to have some size to it. I'd be gutted if the future of trance in Newcastle lay in the basement at the Stout Fiddler.

i think its a mint idea

i was pretty gutted when Vuzz went the journey, i thought it was mint + they managed to get some decent names on (Ronski Speed, M, Helsoot (sp), Ben lost, Riley & Durrant etc..) as well as putting local talent on. But it always seemed to be the same faces in there.

Twisted on a weekend would be awesome, they too have decent djs on but its just finding a venue.

I don't know how these nights don't pull more ppl in though, they both have (had) drinks offers and very reasonable entry fees its just a shame that not many ppl go. But with promise comin to an end ppl won't have any other option if they still want decent tunes in n/castle.

something must be done

get screech on the decks playing a prog set, the people will be FIGHTING to get in.

Too right

agree with everythin that's been said

i don't know clubs/bars in newcastle that well, but there must be somewhere that's got a decent capacity and a good layout to start somethin like this?

I think the the main problem with running a night these days, is peoples musical appetite is a lot greater than it was a few years ago, people want different music everytime they go out. basically I feel to run a succesful night nowadays you have to put on a vast array of musical genre to keep people interested.

Some wedge into flyers, dumped in HMV, Air, northumberland st., the SU's, etc...etc...

Just need some trusted friends to do it for you

twisted should ask if they could have one of thebak rooms at digital. maybes on a friday or saturday. partner up with shindig or wax-on

spot on though, gota try n make it an upmarket night

I think that the main difference seperating nights like Twisted and Vuzz from a one like Promise is the fact that they are essentially bars and not clubs. If you want a club night it needs to be in a club and not bars.

I've had some good nights at Vuzz and Twisted and will continue to go, but it hasn't got the same feel as a club. For the average person to make the effort to go to a club night it needs to be in a fairly large venue with a decent dance floor and lazers/lights to make it look different. Somewhere where you can go and get fucked rather than stand and drink and some established good names on to pull the crowd that have been going to Promise for years. People aren't just going to stop going. There are going to be absolutely shit loads of clubbers who like Trance in Newcastle waiting for a night to pop up and I'm sure a lot of people on here would be willing to help advertise get the word out. (¬)

I reckon a night with someone like Hardwick and a few others on in a proper club would have a chance of pulling a crowd. I hope someone has a shot at it.

hahaha that would be a good idea if Digital would let it go ahead. I think the place would be rammed and you could stop the pikeys coming in.

they should try and get the boat
