This review only concerns the blues room; as that's where I spent the entire night. I hear the Euphoria room was also a success if a little hot at times.
For me, this was one of, if not the BEST freestyle I have been to all year. The way that music and lights were set up in the adjoining anterooms lent a real weekender feel to the night. With people sitting, chilling and relaxing whilst still in eye and earshot of the blues room.
I know that I am so lucky to have Twirlie Bird, it means no matter where I go I have an awesome follow to dance with. Many thanks to her for making the night as special as it was. I had some lovely dances, and at the risk of forgetting people huge respect to Smiley Sue, Scary Cru , Zebra Woman, Easily Led, Rebecca, DTS, Alex, Kalli, Jan, Sophie, and Fletch... and all the other ladies.
Where to start?!?! The music (which can make or break a night) was sublime. Mrs Pears ruled the decks for a couple of hours at start of the night. Then Marc took the decks after a quick blast of 'Happy Birthday' from the crowd. Of course Marc's set was up to the usual high standard, and it was difficult at times finding a moment to catch your breath.
Free iced water from the bar. Friendly staff. Laid back atmosphere. And finally a venue with proper cooling. We didn't get home until way past silly o'clock and we're a little tired but euphoric today.
Next events there will be November and December. I would strongly advise booking up early, because when word gets around about this nicely central event you may be hard pressed to get a ticket on the door. For an opening night it was amazing - blowing established nights like Daventry out of the water! If the two events were to clash I know where I would be dancing.
Total respect has to go to Kalli & the crew
