I am sure that there have been a numbers of DJs who over the years at some stage or other developed a reputation as no shows. I was never too fond of Cave Dark, whom my m8s are obsessed about, and had him in this boat when on about 3 consecutive occasions he failed to turn up. By the 3rd time, I knew something was amiss and lo and behold a little bit of research showed me that on 2 of the occasions he was never booked....... the venue - well, you'll be surprised: the infamous, Turnmills, which I more or less finally gave up going to about a year ago when I got all geed up to go see the same Mr Craig - who also 'failed to show' but ....surprise, surprise it transpires he too was never booked. You will no doubt recollect that a certain Mr R Hawtin (apparently for the first time in his life) walked out of there some 30 minutes after arriving to start his set, because (if i remember rightly) of the lack of contracted equipment. Now should I be surprised, having shaken hands, agreed terms, that I had a regular Thursday night there to promote my own weekly night back in 96 I went away to get flyers printed and start my mail outs. I was to go back to Turnmills on the Monday afternoon to sign a contract, but before i get mr newman's call, i get a call from one of my m8s to tell me Eurobeat 2000 have just signed to go back there on Thursday nights ... and the attitude : so what " we dont need u" - 2 4-king true! Enjoy your weekends 313ers ... i;m off to Fuse Club Saturday night to hear, for the first time in about 5 years, Claude Young and I cant wait. Made the big mistake of going to Fabric to hear Laurent Garnier, the other week for a friends birthday ... a load of peeps I know headed to Fabric and came back raving about Claude .... should I be surprised? And what a lovely guy to go with it. I remember someone in their "@bout the members" post which was hugely popular a few months ago - saying their favourite thing about techno was claude's generosity!! I hope he dont think he's buying drinks for everyone in the Fuse club ......!!
