Hello? echoes

invalid@example.com (Rory Space) — Sat, 03 May 2025 11:13:27 +0000

Hope you're all doing alright. Did any of you get into crypto before the hype? Still going to events? In those err, places of social gathering called "clubs." Hopefully everyone's still alive; I'd love to throw in a laughing emoji but fuck me, things didn't half nose-dive since I last logged in.

Forums were way ahead of their time.

Ah it really is dead here now. Can't believe this is over 20 year old. I've been enjoying going through the old threads, shame all the photos have gone. Hope you are all well.

Ricky 'the rodent' Rodal

Hi All,

I just wanted to see if I could get some help here. Im Jay Pidgeon and I manage Marco V. www.jaypidgeon.com

Last July I booked Marco with Ricky for a night at Digital. I agreed with Ricky that he would pay half the fee in advance and the remaining fee to Marco before he played, which he never did. To cut a long story short Ricky still owes Marco and I half of the fee which he never paid on the night.

I have been given the complete...

Ah,

invalid@example.com (Rory Space) — Sat, 06 Apr 2024 21:34:47 +0000

if I'm honest, I'd forgot Nucastle existed until I saw a notification in an old email account.

High probability I'm talking to my self here but it was worth spending 20 minutes trying to remmeber my username/password just to sift through the absolute bollocks I used to post

Everyone blames Facebook for the outcome of forums, but are they really to blame? It seems to me like Facebook and other soccial media are dying due to the constant censoring.

I look forward to the day we go...

Ah,

Scott Bradford / Anthony Pappa in Newcastle (2022)

invalid@example.com (Nass) — Fri, 01 Apr 2022 06:05:51 +0000

I thought I'd post in here what's happened recently as I pretty much left the clubbing scene around 2008 onwards. Although Facebook killed Forums I kind of wish it didn't and I still find myself checking here sometimes!

So, over the last 5 years or so I realised my passion was still music, I just basically didn't want to be up until 5am (or later), and I learned how to DJ as a hobby and got the odd gig in Newcastle.

It was good but I also noticed a lot of people had grown out of it by 2015...

Can't quite believe I'm posting in here again and especially about a Club event, it's been far too long.

Any of the old squad attending this weekend then? I'll be surprised if this gets a reply mind.

Peace.

Hows it going guys!

I'm posting this in case you are on here but can't see socials.

A lot has happened in recent years, and I'm pleasantly surprised this board is still here (kudos to @Conway )

One of my favourite things to happen of late has definitely been that, in the wake of internet based DJ Live Streaming throughout the pandemic, Richard Tulip has started a new show this week which straight off the bat had thousands of viewers.

An Amazing result for Lee to get to the final of BGT.
And then to go win it above all the other contestants who entered is awesome !!

Not sure you’ll see this message mate as no one seems to bother posting anymore. Me included.
I still have a little peek now and again, and hopefully after your win, a few old board members might pop in and say hello/congratulations or you could well start a full board revival.

Anyhow Well done mate enjoy your moment, you deserve every minute...

Okay just to try and reignite a bit of life into this place and for a bit of nostalgia, please post your favourite promise club rinser's.

This was my bestest, Hardwick used to play it all the time and it sounded lethal on loads of pills! Driving & tribal as out, and the breakdowns cool as fuck. Used to always end up being a frantic ten minute popper sesh with me holding onto the bottle in a gollum like manner.

I have a 3 hour electrical skills test at Nissan in the not too distant future. Has anyone done one of these tests and if so can you tell me what sort of stuff can I expect. Any help will be much appreciated.

Was reading one of the old reviews and was wondering if anyone on here went as often I read that it was one of the best nights that people had at the Republic especially the legendary Bond and Hardwick b2b set which is often spoken about. Does anybody remember any tunes that they played?

I really want this tune but I can't even find a half decent mp3 rip anywhere. Does anybody have it on vinyl?

It was featured on Ferry Corsten - Trance Nation and Armin - In Motion 003, assuming it was pretty well known.

Pictures Printed and Frames

invalid@example.com (JIMI) — Sun, 09 Feb 2014 16:03:05 +0000

me and mrs are decorating the house and we want to get some smart, pictures we have seen online, printed as either a big photograph or even on canvas and put into something nice to hang in the passage,

we don't wanna get ripped off, and it seems like a few shops we have been in charge a lot of money for what seems like (to me) not very much work.

any help, advice or links would be appreciated,

I've attached a few things we would like so you can get an idea of what we are after,
