Review of EXAMPLE at HORIZON

Review of EXAMPLE at HORIZON

I’m extremely disappointed. Paid to see example and he didn’t even show up to play. He came on stage then he left again.

Review of Day Fever - HORIZON

The event I itself is wonderful, but wonder about a bigger cleaner venue. Poor coat and bar service. The music could have been more varied too over those years for our ages. Otherwise great cause and a big heads up for Vicki for this great idea. It’s catching on so bigger venues would be fab. Did not like dancing on a wet floor and plastic glasses under my feet.

Review of Day Fever - HORIZON

Everyone who goes to this wants to basically rave their backsides off. The music was more school disco or wedding than anything else. Need loads more 90s and 2000 bangers played, House and Garage tracks wouldn't amiss. There were a few Choons played and the place went to another level for a few minutes but afterwards Tom Jones was played which took it down again and just started a karaoke. The ever talking DJ should have picked up on this and played more banging Choons, it's what everyone really wanted, to basically let rip and do what we don't get a chance to do anymore. You can't really do that to Car Wash, Abba or Shalamar.
The DJ needed help to play the music at one point and it went a little quiet, mixing skills weren't really there! 😂 Didn't use the cloakroom, toilets were mixed which was interesting. Bar service was very good, prices were at club levels for sure. Would in time go again, but the music really needs tweaking to suit the age range who really want to rave. I can see why people were leaving at 6pm when it didn't finish till 8pm as the music changed to more school disco which was a shame. Brighton really doesn't do cheese, it bangs and it bangs big time.

Review of Day Fever - HORIZON

Great atmosphere, people seemed to really be enjoying themselves however the venue let the party down - queues were pretty long at the bar with two bars i visited with only 1 bar staff each - not great for a crowd of thirsty 40 somethings. There was no prosecco by the glass and the barman told me 'the wine they has was s**t' and not to buy it so i felt they didn't really cater for us. £15 for a small can of beer and a rum/c**e was a bit pricey too.

I kept my coat with me as the queue snaked up to the dancefloor and people i spoke to had already waited 20 minutes. The toilets were interesting - unisex -I'm fine with this, but the older demographic we spoke to didn't like it one bit - This could have been made clearer before attending just so people knew what to expect.
Sound system wasn't great and felt like it struggled which was a shame also.
Overall the party is fantastic, offering people the chance to let their hair down and dance - some hadn't been out for 20 years so were loving it! If the venue had been better equipped I'd go back however won't be returning here.

Review of Day Fever - HORIZON

Nice crowd, but more of an over-50s event than an over-30s. I appreciate that it's hard to get the mix of music right, but I was really disappointed by the (small) number of 90s/00s pop hits (likewise, my partner was expecting more indie). Given that there were two rooms, they seemed to have the same music (albeit offset by a song or two), which was a missed opportunity. The venue itself was small and the toilets were a bit manky, with doors that didn't shut properly - weird, given that the club's website suggests it's newly renovated. We wouldn't go again - a real shame, as I love the concept.

Review of Day Fever - HORIZON

I love the concept but the music just wasn't for me. I don't mind a bit of cheese but it was like a wedding reception. I would've preferred more 90s/00s dance and indie. The key demographic is aging ravers after all!
Venue was ok with pretty quick service at the bar, but the over engineered cloakroom system was just daft.

Review of Day Fever - HORIZON

Music was often great, maybe missing some ‘90s dance bangers. The venue was fine apart from the awful cloakroom system and the mixed loos (which should be separate men and women).

Review of Day Fever - HORIZON

Music too many anthems rather than early 90s club music. Too much like being at a wedding music wise.
Lots of friendly people safe atmosphere.

Review of Tom Zanetti @ Horizon Brighton!

Never again Tom whatever his name his ruined the mood

Review of Road to Rocks - HORIZON

Hi
I am probably one of the oldest clubbers in town, being 79 (yes, 79!!). I am a good mover and love to dance. I mainly do partner dancing, Modern Jive. (I am a good lead). This is the generic name, although Ceroc is the main franchise. I can do Ballroom as well. However, I DO LOVE TRANCE, HOUSE, TECHNO, MAIN STREAM (CAPITAL DANCE/CENTRE FORCE TYPE MUSIC). Unfortunately, for my age group there are no venues for this. Most Over 30s discos tend to be 60s to 80s "party, party" stuff which, for me, is BORING! I like to FEEL the music and "get lost in it"! When the young people can see that I have rhythm and varied choreography, they appreciate what I do and, often want to dance with me. This can be "dance offs" with the guys and, occasionally, partner dance with the gals if they can be led (dance wise!).

If I go with my "part time" girlfriend (71yo) we sometimes do Ceroc to some tracks and rewarded with applause, or circles around us. I NEVER make a move on a gal, for fear of being seen as "sleazy." I'm not there to "pull," just DANCE! Realistically, why would a young woman want with a bald guy old enough to be their Granddad or, in some cases, their Great Grandad?! If they want to dance with me, it's their move. Sometimes I get my bum felt by a gal, especially when wearing my "white outfit," although I see this as a compliment rather than a sexual assault! Before I retired, I was a lecturer in FE, teaching the 16 to 19 YOs, so I am comfortable with young people and never had any "trouble" or negative vibes. Although I "stick out" I feel comfortable and accepted. As a competent, confident dancer I don't feel self-conscious any more.

I say the above to put my review in context (i.e. from an "Old Geezer"). Horizon is re-named from Shooosh and the Honey club. It has one of the largest dance floors compared with other clubs under the Kings Road (Arches), and most other Brighton clubs. Of course, Pryzm's main "room" is the largest in Brighton. I went on an Ibiza night and expected Ibiza music all night. However, the first two hours was devoted to softer beats similar to Hip Hop, which I find BORING (along with Drum and Base). At 1am a new DJ started the Ibiza (Rocks) style music and my dancing started! It was a good set and what I wanted, although the two hour wait was very annoying. Staff and security (bouncers) were friendly. The crowd was OK. I guess most were Straight although there were one or two openly Gay/Lesbian couples. Like most clubs, at present, it was not capacity with plenty of room to dance. Brighton's nightlife seems quiet at this time. Students used to be a mainstay but they are few. Perhaps this is due to financial hardship but the Council is perhaps killing the night life with expensive parking and Traffic Wardens fleecing victims up to midnight! If you like the genre music, it is a good club.

Review of MONACO | Reggaeton VS Afro Beats | Fridays | Horizon Brighton

Arrived way before the time the ticket advertised, queued for 2 hrs then told we were too late and couldn't use our free tickets and it would now be £7...rude staff member on door, security were good. If you ever get a pre-12 entry ticket, make sure to start queuing at 8 to avoid disappointment ;)
