AEROPLANE!
Overall rating: 5

Top night. The whole place was on fire (figuratively) when Vito took to the stage. I'd highly recommend the Jabez Clegg, and everyone should go the Clique and watch Aeroplane AT LEASED once in their life.

Not to mention skiddle tickets were incredibly easy to use kudos, thanks a lot. See you next time!

venetian snare
Overall rating: 5

Venetian Snares is a rare thing - both to be able to see live, and to actually listen to (live or on record) so this was an amazing booking. The venue was brilliant, the lighting rigs and equiipment set-up was great and the main room was excellent, my only complaint was the insane amount of time we were all left queing outside!!
Drinks were priced ok, and the bar service was alright & not too slow
All the DJ sets were really good, although one of them ruined the vibe a little bit by being abit too obscure - not quite sure who it was because some of the set times overlapped. Snares didn't disappoint & played some really great tunes - with someone who has so much music out there, it could very easily have been a set of tunes you only half knewbut he knew the crowd well & toyed around with them - playing gabba that verged on white noise for the last 20 mins, just because he could!!

A great night!!

Too bad about Actress. Music wasnt as good as I expected obviously. Jabez Clegg is an amazing venue though, one of my favourites in Manc definitely!

snares!
Overall rating: 4

queued for hours, no exaggeration! wasn't the crowd i was expecting t see on this sort of night...but still was a pretty friendly mixed bunch of people. the acts before snares were a little softer than i expected. snares was amazing, not as involved as he was last time, but still amazing. venue was a good lay out and a good feel. drinks were a little steep.

My ears were buzzing for days after and this has never happened to me at a gig/dance club before so I'm not sure htat hte sound system is of great quality. Other than that, a good night and I'm glad I went.

Venitian Snares
Overall rating: 3

Hours of boring music with no soul, more like background music to talk over. They should of had sofa's to sit on as I don't think anyone was dancing. Sound levels were really quiet (although very clear). Not the rave I expected, would have been more entertaining to just stay at home and listen to one of his CD's!

Venetian Snares
Overall rating: 3.5

Ridiculously long slow queue to get in and then hours of rubbish music to listen too! Dubstep bores me to tears! Venetian Snares started of great then lost it, bit of a disappointment seeing him play on cd decks?!I've also never seen a mosh pit listening to breakcore jungle! Great atmosphere though nevertheless:)

breakcore gives me wood
Overall rating: 4

stoked that snares came up to manc for once, music in the main leading up to the headliner was alright, i preferred the heavy dubsteppy vibes in the side room. v snares tore the lid off with some filthy fast breaks that slowly imploded into a 15 minute wall of noise, top stuff

Venetian Snares
Overall rating: 4.5

Music started off a bit lacklustre and all over the place but quickly picked up, and ultimately I was there to see Snares who didn't disappoint in the slightest!

Major complaint re: venue was the ridiculous queue to get in while they checked everyone's name against a list. Tip for next time guys: e-Tickets! Everyone would have been in in a quarter of the time!

elliey's Review of The House That Dub Built feat. Caspa, Rob Sparx at Jabez Clegg
Overall rating: 3.5

really good night, was good to have 2 rooms as pure dubstep can get a bit much. the reggae/ragga/dub/jungle room was the best bit.

astral's Review of Colour: Yellow at Jabez Clegg
Overall rating: 4.5

First Time at Colour, ace Venue, nice friendly crowd with plenty of real Tech heads (always a friendly bunch). Lovely lounge downstairs...just wish the music had stayed nice and mellow downstairs...(Maze and Tribal tactics, were wicked) .Perhaps some nice abstract detroit grooves next time ? Sims and Paul Mac were wicked, really fat, heavy housey tribal Techno as you'd expect and such a shame the sounds went off 30mins before the end. By the way the big room system is one of the richest deepest sounds Ive heard in a long time

All in all an excellent Techno night, hope this keeps going past the three monthly nights already advertised.
