I'm glad I was around when rave existed
Overall rating: 2.5

Facilities - extremely poor, criminal if not illegal.... no where near enough toilets for the number of people and a hell of a trek from some parts of the venue to get to one.
Music - Well the main romm seemed to be playing some kind of Old Skool meets Jive bunny remix or the DJs were just on a bet to see how many tunes they could fit into a set.... the hardcore room seemed a complete waste of time as it only held about 50 people - the back room music was pretty good until 1am when it went lightweight piano... not sure if they were expected people to pair up and smooch....
Atmosphere was very mediocre with the majority of people looking like they had wandered into the place thru a portal at the back of Tiger Tiger or the birdcage - not shady - just dull
Final moan goes to the absolute lack of any traffic control for getting out of the venue.... typical count the cash and forget the details scenario by the looks.....

Bowlers 20th Birthday
Overall rating: 4.5

Great night. Great music. Last 20 mins of music **** though. Not the best way to end. Drinks prices a bit steep. Could have done with a chill out area. Friendly people with no trouble. Toilets a disgrace but dirty bastard lads pissing in the sinks didn't help! Can't wait for the next one.

Junglist.
Overall rating: 3.5

The queue to get in sucked but at least we had beers. Was not happy about the fact that I had to enjoy DJ Hypes set from outside in the queue, also missed Nicky Blackmarket. Maybe they should of informed party goers of an average idea of set times. A lot of people I found rude. And what was with all the clay mud that got absoultley everywhere? Also, it was quite empty aswell. I'm not particularly a hardcore fan. I'm a girl of bass, I was in the DNB room for the majority of the night and from what I experienced of the music it was amazing. The toilets were a shambles and you could barely hear what the MC's were saying...sound could of been better for them, speakers and mics wise....

BTW Favourite part of the night...
