Reviews of Joshua Brooks, Manchester

Refused entry for no reason

I purchased tickets online to avoid any queues and delays. The bouncer refused me and my friends entry and I told him we purchased tickets online, he goes "sorry not tonight" he did the same with two other guys, not letting them in for no reason. I asked why we were not allowed to go in and he said I don't know. The bouncers got scared when I asked them why and I used big words for them because the dumb illiterate ****s did not understand! Never going back again!

I was really looking forward to this event - the first hour was good, and loads of people (self included) made the effort and got dressed up to bring the vibe on however i exited after hearing hit the road jack for the THIRD time and the music become completely not in the 1920s vibe, not even a bit of electro swing after the first couple of hours. Tragically disappointed - if you are going to market something as a gatsby vibe then do the research and select better music.

Poor poor show skiddle. Joshua Brookes, you're not much better.

I had never heard of Benga before. After tonight, I still don't know who he is.
A massive group of us bought tickets for this for a friends birthday. He was crazy excited for it and had been looking forward to it all week. What he didn't realise, is that Skiddle had completely ****ed him over as his name wasn't on the list and no confirmation email had been received. Meaning, of course, he had no ticket, and didn't get in. As myself, and other friends were less excited, we thought it would be a reasonable request to swap us for him. Apparently, one ticket is not the same as another and, try as we might, the bouncers refused to let us leave, and him come in under our ticket. All in all it was a pretty terrible night and due to Skiddles **** up and the bouncers at Joshua Brookes having ridiculous, obscure rules, we ended up all leaving, without seeing any of Benga's set, with a frankly bitter taste in our mouths, wanting our money back.
