Had a great night from start to finish and had been excited about this all week beforehand!

Was saying that it would be a massive coup to have even just ONE of the advertised peeps on the line-up, never mind all of them!! :shocked: :cool: Bit of an overwhelming occasion :D

Thought that all of the DJ's were good entertainers too, and looked like they were enjoying themselves :cool:

Nice to hear Promised Land with the man himself stood in front of me, as its in my top3 all-time tunes, so I was happy as Larry about that :king:

Loved how the place went nuts when Fast Eddie's gems 'Acid Thunder' and 'Can You Dance' (another big fave of mine..) came on, everyone was rocking :banana:

Liked how into it Steve Silk Hurley got, that was refreshing, and good to see him mingling with us commoners and having a bit of a swerve down the front :D :p :thumbsup:

Thought Jessie Saunders set was ace, 'blinded by the lights' being played was mad, but kinda ace! :D Was buzzing off seeing him singing along to the stuff eeh was playing too, looked like he was enjoying it :)

Shame about Sterling Void, was really looking forward to that, but it cant be helped and its not like the rest of the line up wasn't spoiling us loads anyway! :D :cool:

Was definitely a not-to-be-missed lineup, wouldve kicked myself If i'd have missed it. Thought the music was great from start to finish too. :thumbsup:

As usual, really ace to see the usual suspects out in force :thumbsup:

Fair play to Ian for having the balls to go for doing something so immense, and it was highly appreciated.... Mate, you deserve every bit of success you have with your ventures :thumbsup:

And to top it all off, the great news of the impending stork bringing a little bundle of joy to Ian and Lisa! :llama: Whoo hoo!!

Many congrats you pair, was made up to hear your news :love:


Fab night, I loved it. If you missed it, you missed out :naughty: :D

First of all :$ Late review, i know i know im crap:|

Got in there just after 11 after a mix up with the tickets :S (Nice one to Ian for sorting that out so promptly:king:) Got in to the sounds of Joe smooth playing some good tunes that id not heard before, but had that distinct warehouse vibe. Perfect for getting everyone warmed up:thumbsup:
Then as steve silk hurley was getting his shit together, Joe treated us to a live version of one of the greatest tunes ever:love: another legend is now ticked off the checklist:king: :D :D :thumbsup:

Next up was Steve Silk Hurley who played some ace tuneage, his Roberta Flack remix was the pick of the bunch for me. Yes there were Some dodgy mixes, it looked like he was struggling with the laptop/cdjs on a couple of occasions and a few shit tunes (50 cent) but as surprised as i was to hear Needing u i thought it sounded fucking ace and got a great reaction (as it did in brum this weekend) :head: Really enjoyed his set overall and was pleasantly surprised to see his slumming it with us lot down at the front. Top Guy:king:

Up next was Fast Eddie who stole the show. Technically was the best DJ on the night and really tore it up for the crowd, all his tunes went down a storm and had the place bouncingphones: :head:

Jessie Saunders followed that and also played some great tunes, especially in the first hour. Strings of life, Goodlife and lots of old classics and seemed to be really enjoying himself too singing and dancing along to most of his tunes.. Always a good sign IMO :D :cool:

This was never going to be a night for the joe public oldskoolers, and full credit must go to Ian for putting together something that I doubt will ever be seen again on one billing... knowing full well that it wont be to everyones tastes and he could be left seriously out of pocket from it. That is unrivalled dedication and I hope meeting your heroes and having them play in your hometown was worth the blood sweat and tears mate.:king: As i've said before on more than one occasion, my hat is so far taken off that its not seen my head since Marshall and Ce Ce :D

Great as ever to see the OSA crew, the extended family were as ever on top form and as always we were made more than welcome in scouseland:king:

Big thanks to my Teece for driving us back:love:

It started with that long car journey from london to liverpool. . .

Got to the Dugout a little later than expected :( but still managed to hear all the dj's play, Tunes from MissTickle, Si, Tag, Woody & Grenville.

No beer for me this time :$

Got into the Academy at about 11.30 after twatting around in the street, Joe Smooth playing some lovely tunes and then yes he sang "promised land" \o/

Steve "silk" Hurley on next (he liked my mic more than me lol) bit of a dodgy one with 50 cent but it wasnt all that bad.

Fast Eddie erm what can i say apart from Gwaaaaaaaan wicked dj mic man and allround top fella

Jesse Saunders up next and again some quality tunes (apart from maddison ave which i was singing along too inside my head but dont tell anyone lol)

Sadly due to complaints the venue closed early so im really gutted i didnt hear Pluto play however this makes october a deffo not too be missed event.

All in all i had a top night a few hiccups along the way but thats just the norm.

Congrats to Ian & Lisa, Im sure little Cutter or whatever you call the baby will be the most well looked after bambino on the planet :thumbsup:

p.s Mr Void hope ur better real soon

Thanks again for the booking Ian, well looking forward to october

Big ups to all the crew that made it and shame on those that didnt (your loss not mine)
