Review of Haunted LDN

The tickets overpriced for what it is the siesta in ministry of sound was so much better

Review of Siesta Halloween (DJ Majesty Birthday Bash)

What chance did back to 88/JLTA or Safari have, of having a good night in the worst run club I have ever been to in over 30 years of clubbing!!!!
I attended Back to 88 and was quite excited as it was the music that got me into raving in the first place and it was being held a newly refurbished club with allegedly a banging sound system.
If this was my first experience of clubbing, I would have been put off for life! Not by the music but by this venue.
If you want a night out, that resembles a prison yard, then Favela is the place for you 100% actually you've got more freedom in a prison yard!
You are greeted at the door by the most unfriendly, rude, unhelpful security team I have ever come across. Ill give you an example.
On my 2nd(god knows why I went again) visit to Favela, I witnessed a guy get searched not but once but twice because they said he looks like a drug dealer! on both occasions they found no drugs and reluctantly let him in the club, only for him to get pulled out of the crowd twice more for more body searches in a back room.
Also at the door, a couple turned up with no tickets and wanted to pay on the door. The security lady, (who if anyone remembers the adult comic Smut) who I can only liken to Biffa Bacons Mum, Ma Bacon told them, "You don't want to come in and listen to this sort of s**t(it was Jungle) do you? The man said, "Yeah I like Jungle." To which she responded, "Look mate take your girl, go get a bottle of wine and f**k off home!" I stood then in shock at hearing this, as I thought the idea was to encourage people into the club, who after all pay these meatheads there wages. The couple then walked away.

Once in the club, it gets totally worse! If you are looking to give yourself instant depression, then Favela is the place for you.

On both visits, I found the club to be lit up brighter than a fireworks display! I thought a nightclub was supposed to be relatively dark with the lights and lasers adding to the evening, not continually shining brighter than the sun!

But this is a crucial way to which this club chooses to operate, because it makes it easier for the turret mounted security to watch everyone and everything and I do mean EVERYTHING!

They have a no caps policy, but you can wear it back to front or wear a cap if they approve. One guy had 2 caps with him and they told him to take one off, but was allowed to wear the other(even though they were the same colour!), when the security walked away, he switched back to the original.
Within seconds they descended from their turret and threw the guy out!

Another man was thrown out because they saw him put something in his mouth, I followed the removal of the man process, which involved some very unnecessary mauling. Once outside his girl friend followed pleading his innocence, stating they had travelled together.
The security told her that they saw him take drugs, so he was out. The guy then said I've never taken drugs in my life, I had a chewing gum and then opened his mouth to reveal a chewed piece of gum.
The caveman security bloke looked at the gum and said, "We don't allow chewing gum in here so your out!" He then turned to the girl and added, "And you can either f**k off back inside or go as well luv!"
I have witnessed so many incidents on my two visits, I'm struggling to remember them all, but here goes a few crackers, that will stick in my mind forever.

They threw a pregnant lady out because they said it was for her own safety!!
They wouldn't make a cup of tea for one of the DJs who'd travelled from Gloucester and then wouldn't allow him to drink an outside purchased cup of tea inside and made him drink it the other side of the barriers.
They stood glaring next to a young man who had travelled from Cheltenham for twenty minutes, which resulted him feeling so uncomfortable he left.
They even threw a girl out for wearing sunglasses, such a crime!
I could go on, but I think I've hopefully got my point across, as to how bad Favela is. This is a newly reopened club and at the rate they are going it will be the most recent club to shut down and I hope it does, so no one else has to experience the bully boy tactics, that I thought were left back in the eighties.

I will finish by saying to promoters and clubbers alike, if you want to hold or go to a good event, then do it anywhere but Favela! 100% The place is a shambles and every single one of the Gestapo security should never be allowed to work at a club ever again.






Review of Back to 88 / J.L.T.A

Review of Back to Reality

This event has potential, however the overall organization needs a lot more work.

Security ruined the whole night...
The female/transgender security should not be allowed to search women at all,as she searched my fiance she was touching her up while searching her and was hassling all the women in the venue and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why...
She/he should not be allowed to search women at all.
All the other security had attitude problem's apart from a couple,they was hassling people all night and it was a lovely crowd,they were hassling people who just wanted to rest on the couches and all sorts,BANG OUT OF ORDER...
The venue was terrible and suffered from condensation which was dripping from walls ceiling and sofa's were soaking and some actually squirted water out of them.
The Jesus loves acid crew were cool and music was good...apart from the system.
We will never go to this venue ever again and security should be jogged right on as they must've lost so much money and people's faith in this venue is now...
