Review of Hedkandi @ Cargo : London
£15.50 for a vodka & mixer was the only criticism otherwise Hed Kandi was off the hook, Dj's, lady on the sax & the dancers all performed to perfection. Great mature & friendly crowd. Definitely there next time.

Had problems getting in, wasn’t told you bring id, however when we produced copies of our id, at first the door man were not going to allow us in, 30 minutes late getting in. Drinks are expensive. hed Kandi was brilliant, was sold finish at 10pm then changed to 9pm.. shame

Review of Hedkandi @ Cargo : London
First time visit to Cargo for a Hed Kandi event. Initially our names weren't on the list so we thought it would be an issue getting in but the staff were great once I'd shown them the ticket downloads. The event itself was a lot of fun, great mix of classic Hed Kandi tracks that you knew and loved and a great crowd of like minded people all there to just have a good time!
Cargo was a perfectly good venue with plenty of indoor and outdoor space to move around in and the event wasn't overbooked with people. The drinks were expensive (even for Shoreditch?) and Cargo itself could have done with a lick of paint and their VIP area didn't look or feel very special.
Would have been nice to see much more Hed Kandi decor, it seemed a bit sparce. Loved to have seen a few large Jason Brooks canvas prints.

Review of Hedkandi @ Cargo : London
Awful venue, the run down look isn't the best vibe. Music in some cases was being killed by the live singers. Love the music of Hedkandi.... But, unless they improve avoid these nights

Review of Hedkandi @ Cargo : London
Such an amazing night at Hed Kandi London. Good venue and incredible music. So impressed with the percussion and sax players. Atmosphere was electric! Can't wait for the next one!

Review of Hedkandi @ Cargo : London
Nice tunes but obviously had failed to do sound checks for singers. Bit chaotic on the stage. Get the feeling that this lot need to retire. Dancers were aimed at a male audience and as such there was little in the way of edi - a tad embarrassing in a modern setting. Venue was very small and dirty and drinks stupidly expensive. They tried to ask for ID when we went in. Of course we had none as they had failed to stipulate that as an entry requirement. Slow and tedious queue for cloakroom. There was a mainly nice crowd. Don't think I will be queuing for this again.

Review of Hedkandi @ Cargo : London
Nice venue, music was good apart from some of the singers. Drink prices were astronomical with signs saying spirits only served as doubles at £15 and £7.50 for a non branded can of lager.
On the whole it was a very expensive day out that could have been better.

Review of Hedkandi @ Cargo : London
Were not allowed entry as we didn’t have ID as we were nit told when buying the tickets that we needed to bring ID. Only after a lot of fuss were we allowed in. A man named Jack on the door was rude arrogant and not empathetic at all . Will did never ever go to that venue again. I went with my cousin who has been to other Hed Kandi events and said the music was the worst she’d ever been to. Such a shame as it was meant to be a special day out and it certainly wasn’t .

Review of Hedkandi @ Cargo : London
Nightmare getting in as neither Skiddle or hed kandi had advised people that they needed ID. Badly handled by the management and door staff. After 45 minutes of standing outside an events person managed to get us in. Drinks - firstly, no cider! Why?? Secondly, prices - disgusting! £7.50 for a beer and £29 for two vodka and diet c**es. There was a sign saying that spirits were double measures as standard but that was not the case and I had to point out the sign to the bar staff. I don’t mind paying inflated prices being in town and in a club but that was ridiculous. The club itself was small, not small and cosy / intimate but small and annoying. One room for the music but because it was so small you were getting pushed about by people trying to get past to the bar or the toilets. It was really bright too. Toilets - again, disgusting! Dirty, no hooks on the doors to hang your bag, no toilet roll, only two soaps and no paper towels or hand driers to dry your hands. I would say that the best part of the whole thing was being in the smoking area and I don’t smoke! And it was a nice crowd and a good age group. I would NEVER go to an event at Cargo again and I’m not sure I’d go to another hed kandi event either. In the last few months I have been to print works and Leak Street and both venues were spot on. Cargo - I wouldn’t rate it even 1 out of 10.
