it was on?! Doorman must've been having a laugh then as we paid in then he said it was a private party and the doors were actually locked to the little room. Great, another example of the convivial atmosphere in there. The reason I'm bothered is its a waste of time really but the options are limited so. . . Still at least its not pulse!

Village soul was on Gordy, on Saturday as advertised in the little room, not many in but i still had a giggle. Run for Cover finished about a year ago when one of the DJ's left. Perhaps you should think before you post comments that are incorrect. Also if it's crappy why are you bothered if they're not on?

independent should be reported under the trades descriptions act. Always advertising 'nights' ie village soul, run for cover and can't be bothered to do them! Too many crappy ideas and nights started then abandoned.

usual sat dj is alright, he knows what goes down well. i'd only ask for stuff ive heard there before, then theres a good chance it'll be on next.

djs in the big room have such chips on their shoulders! They just ignore anyone asking for requests. Where do they get the idea Iglu and hartley twice on new years eve is acceptable? and there literally was a turd floating around the girls toilets.. despite that its ok and will only ever be ok because theres no effort. Run for cover is great when they can be bothered to do it.
