A fantastic night at Wotton Hall for our Allnighter. A packed house with 350 in. A one stage I did not think that we could let anyone else in. If we were not running the 2nd room then for safety reasons would have had to lock the doors.
In my opinion the DJ line up was superb and all of the DJ's played some terrific tunes. Very positive feedback re the new layout for room 2. It was much more atmospheric and better supported. I hope that we can build on this and get it well established. A big thanks to all of the team for their sterling efforts in making the night just a successful and enjoyable night. Thanks also to all of you who came to support the event. Photos will be on the website in next day or two. Thanks to Sue and Moldie for taking them.
The next Allnighter is on June 10th where I am in the process of sorting the guest DJ's out. Already booked are the Willingham and Steve Godfrey. Room 2 will largely comprise the line up we had last friday. The next event I am running is at Riverside on Saturday 26th March where the guest DJ is Matt from Trowbridge. I will be returning to the offer of £4 advance tickets for this one or £5 on the door.
Hope you had a great weekend whatever you were up to.
Best Regards

You both mention pissheads. well there were a party of 20 scooterists from bath and Bristol on a birthday bash who were the on the beer all day. Some but not all were soulies. There were others , admittedly who were locals and not sou;lies. However, I thought the doorstaff did a great job in monitoring them. I was on the door for most of the night and would not and did not let anyone in who was obviously the worse for drink. Soulies not like non soulies whether pissed or not. Some soulies get pissed too. Hopefully the ones who caused you both problems , who were non soulies will not come back for next event. Not sure what else I can do. Unfortunately this is something we have to contend with and is not just local to Gloucester. We are work in progress and at the infancy stage of the allnighter and I am tweaking and ducking and diving all the time to address issues from light, air conditioning, heating to mention many others. Not sure what to do about the non soulies/pissheads though!!! Think the best I can say is that overall the night seemed to please most people. Regards Mike

hi mike ...you read my post wrong mate,i never had any probs with pissheads,i was upstairs most of the time,first id heard of them was in others reviews...i only mentioned it to say i dont think it will cause you too much of a problem in the future as the rest of the night is so good....
its like at go go children we have a lot of younger people who are not on the soul scene and still try take their drinks on the dancefloor...they dont act like twats but its not natural for them to leave their drinks unattended...we get occasional spills (but niccis good with a mop !) and i think the atmoshere we get partly BECAUSE of the younger ones getting into soul for the first time makes up for it
keep up the good work though mike,see you soon
dean
