Exactly folks! I did not feel that the small down time in sound made any difference to the night at all really... infact, sorry Nook, but I'd actually forgotten about it! Even though I still remembered your set! Had the sound system been awful, and then failed, then I gess even I would have something to say about it, but apart from the one blip it sounded great... and yea, its a shame it has to happen at all, but at least it was nothing too major.... and as for heckling, maybe we're just a bit more loud mouthed... we were in Liverpool after all I'm 1001% sure no malice was intended xx N thats right, no matter how professional the night looks and feels, I'm glad that everyone can see it for how its intended, which is a party, not a money farm.... still, did look the part didn't it!! ;D

yeah Nook I hear what your saying totally no hard feelings. I really did think it was an excellent set and some of the most professional mixing i've ever heard without a doubt, and I really didn't think the style was bad AT ALL either, just a contrast thats all, I was just saying why I thought you may have been being heckled. Infact most people commented on how they had a good dance to it and really really enjoyed it, Was only my personal opinion obviously. Yeah dave man I hear what your saying aswell, we got asked to put on some pendulum midway through our set at dreaded faeries. I thought it was fckin well funny!! you just gotta take it as a joke and not let it get you down. Theres always gonna be different opinions on absolutely everything. peace love unity respect lets all be happy

i think there was some arsey nob sittin at the back - i heard him heckel thom, was prolly the same bloke - so think it best not to read too much into that - guess he wanted a certain thing and anything else was beyond him - not a very psycadelic attitude if you ask me but it takes all sorts so tiz no biggy in d long run. thought the prog was just what was needed nook mate - i liked it alot - one of the things about somasonic is that it does try to give some range in the music it puts out...sometimes it works great sometimes not, and diff peeps will have different views on what works and wot dont. but thats a good thing in my book...spice of life and all that...

i've been to all kinds of events small and huge professional ones where they've had technical problems, it happens!!!! it's the nature of technology to fail, there's plenty of people who'd love to play at the next one!!! the one guy i heard heckle is a nob head....what like it was done on purpose?? di**h**d!! and if you didn't like the music my advice.....go somewhere else next time i'd like to say we had an excellent night, with loads of fun, smiles, dancing and hugs. thanks everyone for your efforts and enthusiasm putting together an excellent PARTY for a huge group of FRIENDS it was wonderful to see everyone again with all your smiles and ermm.....funky dance moves, see you all soon

Aye t'was nothing to worry about, 99.99999% of people either didn't notice or didn't care... TBH that's one of the best nights out i've had in ages, I just remember being on a very high vibe, just laughing my head off all night with jasper, kel and a few others. Just grinning like a fool all night, not a care in the world... Really good line up, nice varied sets, great vibe, great decor and brilliant people... That one tiny plug or that heckler didn't even graze the surface of the goodness, so worry not people, let's just hope the next one is just as good... But Yab Yum says it will be !!!! P.s - Ryan, I really love the idea of having a band play at the end of a gig, if you need any help picking bands then give me a shout. (review soon, I promise!!!) Oy Dave, where's the piccies

righty ho all.... After reflection, i think i owe Ry, Choo, Thom and the organisers an apology for my earlier rant. Sorry. i think there was some arsey nob sittin at the back - i heard him heckel thom, was prolly the same bloke - so think it best not to read too much into that - yea...I should have known better than to take it personally. fair point about ethos being lost as it turns into work and not play - its meant to be a party first and formost innit... again... Its my fault for being an angry barsteward.... I got easilly riled, and as a result, didnt make my point even remotelly clear. I guess my issue deep down was safety. Clubs should know better AND SHOULD PAT TEST ALL therir equipment. (I once spent a few days out of work when i got electrocuted at a gig, and couldnt sue for loss of earnings as it was a mates rig).... So safety is an issue as well guys eh?..... Again, apologies for the rant, Didnt meen to upset anyone and i hope that deleting my messages proves i didnt intend it maliciously (?) So, thanks again for a great night guys, and hope my silly and misplaced aggy-ness didnt reflect on what was a GREAT job from the Soma crew.... peace, N
