    Not so cushy for me, hopefully going to buy a M and F wristband on the Friday, but having to book a hotel for somewhere to stay

    I seem to have accidentally stumbled upon a spoof of the programme.
    "World Renowned Award Winning Harmonica Virtuoso"

    ***?!?!?!

    Are Ceroc broke? Or have they just completely lost the plot?

    Yes, it looks good but I'm not sure about the bit that says "book your private pod party'

    Does that mean, anyone who gets there first, can book it and have it exclusively for themselves and their friends?

    Re: Scorch 2011

    from the event schedule page of the scorch website:
    Just book the space on the booking chart inside the POD for an hour at a time and take your music and party people with you.

    Re: Scorch 2011

    Hmm, I still don't get it

    So, someone gets there, puts his name down for an hour, followed by all his mates names

    Is it exclusively there's

    Talk about cliquey!

    Or am I being thick?

    Actually, Joe Powers is a world-famous musician (admittedly, "world-famous" in Tango terms).

    Yes, the blurb is not exactly inspiring - but if I'd known he was playing (and if I weren't seeing him the following weekend anyway), I'd have been seriously tempted. I assume he's got a backing group?

    Although it's a bit strange to have Ceroc book a proper Tango musician; I'd have thought there wasn't a huge demand for traditional music... I guess Mike was serious when he told me that the June Southport is "The Tango One".

    I think you've got it spot on.

    The only reason I can think of for using it (other than being cliquey) is if you want to book a group private lesson and have it somewhere more private?
    Or maybe there are other more naughty uses that an innocent like me could never think of?

    I don't think it sounds like it's exclusive - it's just encouraging people to bring their friends along. I.e. it's just a Sack The DJ spot. Although I'm not sure why they couldn't just use the Blues room for that...? Actually, they are using the Blues room for that, so I agree, it's not quite clear what the point is.

    Private lessons, private parties, that sort of thing I suppose.

    To be honest, I doubt it'll work - simply because it looks like it's outside, and people don't like to go outside when they're dancing, not even to cross the road; we saw that with the Marquee that Jive Addiction ran a few years back. The thing Ceroc did before with the igloo worked, but that was inside the venue.

    But it's worth a try.

    Re: Scorch 2011

    Also I spotted this:

    EMMA PETTITT (EP)
    This curly cutie and the other half of the Emma & Alex teaching duo will
    be leading the way with Ballroom, Latin and Fusion Styles this weekend.
    Cha Cha Cha, Strictly Jive for Fast Dancing & Jango are where she is at.
    And she's teaching a Jango class on Sunday.

    Have Ceroc now taken over this from Amir?

    Re: Scorch 2011

    As this will very likely be my only weekender of 2011, can I be allowed to officially be "quite excited"?.

    Are we nearly there yet?

    Re: Scorch 2011

    I see that Craig Addison is doing two WCS sets over the weekend, I am wondering who is going to be giving him a heads up on what type of music works??

    Interesting. How is anyone who doesn't talk to Mike supposed to know that

    I looked at the SP schedule, and was most disappointed to see just one Milonga, quite early on the Saturday night (far too early IMO). I had no idea there was going to be a focus on AT at Camber in June - it doesn't seem to indicate that on the VLV website, and I've not noticed it in any of the Ceroc London emails. If I'd known this, I might've booked for VLV instead... or possibly both of them. It's probably too late now.

    Oh dear, I'm complaining a week before the event even starts... must remember to pack my positive POV before I leave!
