    That was the last ever promise if I remember rightly - Guy Ornadel dropped Adagio for strings as the last choon (the Corsten version) and the place went nuts.

    My favourite ever night there had to be the shindig nye bash they just had - the place was electric all night :D

    Nass did a whole load of videos - the full size ones are here and the myspace one is [ame="http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=5130431"]Google[/ame] :)

    gutted that Po Na Na didn't invest a bit more in the place - then it might still be open :(

    The masses didn't agree but Promise was better before then.

    Spine tingling :)

    I always felt when i walked through foundations doors for Promise or Shindig that I was in a special place only a minority of people knew about....

    The fact it was off the beaten track also helped; often walked outta them doors into an empty street havin had the most amazing nite!

    Glas I was part of it... :D

    When I spoke to Fergie last week at Privilege he was saying its a shame it got closed down, he loved it. Also said something about playing up here this Autumn but couldn't remember the club, and that Deakin was a bit of a mad fucker :lol:

    I do wish they'd just done one or two things to change foundation for the better rather than close it down like, it wasn't perfect but it was a top quality underground club.

    Most memorable nights of my life in that place.

    Foundation was the absolute number 1 club in the north east. Pissed all over everything ive ever been to.

    Id love *one more night* back at that place. The venue is just fantastic. Nights where it was packed out, with the ceiling dripping. they were the total pinnacle of my clubbing years.

    I guess i may have been late on the scene there , i dunno. I know i went when i was about 17 and tim deluxe was on at shindig. 2001-2002ish im sure.

    I went every month from then onwards. But not to shindig once id discovered promise the following month.

    Then used to go to nights at Quality. Had amazing times with Lab 4 and Captain Tinrib.

    amazin
