sadly no, it should never have changed from glow 303, none of the people involved in running it at that time, myself, andy duggan, tez and finnie were consulted that it was gonna change to lava.
at the time glow 303 really worked, we had a good balance and a great selection of entertainment, and i will never understand why it changed.
as for the fecking chip machine, £8000 that cost, and it lasted what, about a month.
far too many people to thank for all the great times and bad times.
good and bad times were had by pretty much all of you
regardless of what you think about me, how i ran the gigs, the venue or whatever, it is a venue that will be missed.
best gigs and memories for me
1. The UK subs (original line up) full stage invasion by the audience, nicky garrett climbing up on to the air ducting and lettng his guitar fall on charlie's head, charlie lying on the stage with blood seeping everywhere, 300 punks all shouting charlies dead.
2. The first time the floor collapsed after the lost prophets and funeral for a friend in the space of three days.
3. The Editors.
4. Alex Kane (Antiproduct) with his nob out, spraying green spray paint on himself, the amps, the newly painted celling and then laughing at it.
5. The First time King Prawn sold out the venue
6. Capdowns two sell out shows
7. almost getting into a fight with SOULWAX
8. Grandmaster flash being a complete and utter dick
9. Napalm death shaking the glasses on the tables in the upstairs bar whilst soundchecking
10. walking into the dressing room outside and catching someone giving head to someone we all pretty much know.
last night of trading will be saturday 19th april, all i can say is thanks.
