Morning Sickness - Newcastles 1st True After Hours

I crack a gag



and the misty eyed brigade come out of slumber

I am retired dude, its all d.i.y and loft conversions for me

the realisation came when i opened up my amp and there had been no soldering done

should have added **......**

quick off the mark there eh...spring is here,will get on top of shit out in the sticks..

ps,did the headphones turn up???

(sorry to hijack for a bit there)

hence the true meaning of the name Power Tool perhaps

Yeah bri found them right at the end of the night cheers for being a star and playing again i just was not in the mood when i thought they had been nicked.

Made up for it at freaky though.

Looking foreward to Friday and i have made sure i have the working leads for the Monitor.

Who are all the mods on this forum?


Oh & is it possible they can read PM's?

Rob (owner), Clair, Me, Jess C - thats it.

PM's - this has come up before - we can't access PM's as they're in the SQL database and not easily accessible. IN THEORY we could reset your password then log in as you and read them but then you'd know. We can't just view them if thats what you mean.

Plus every admin action is logged in an Admin log - which is/can be checked by the site owner

so can he read them

We have a mole then.


Who is the site owner mate?

and its a free and democratic land , hell we will even have our own day of independence

you think someone has read your PM's? Joe a while ago showed how easy it is to guess some peoples passwords...

Rob owns the server this board runs on - his goodwill and the small amount of revenue gained from the few nights that have PAID for banner space (not got it for free) have contributed to it's running.

Rob is a true hero of the people.

No offence is meant to the lads running this night but bars like that will struggle to get licences when they are not active (dont show up) for meetings regarding the area/community there bar is based in.

any news yet of this morning sickness thing taking place again?

I'm going to be slightly controversial here for a sec, hopefully without putting any noses out of joint, constructive criticism really.

I think calling the thing morning sickness was a bad mistake. When gossip had originally applied for the license they'd done it for an event called 'breakfast', and I believe they'd used the blag that they'd be supplying both alcohol and food for people who've been out clubbing and need somewhere to unwind / sort themselves out before heading home.

an after hours place called 'breakfast' sounds a hell of a lot more wholesome and unthreatening than something called 'morning sickness', which is advertised with posters depicting someone being sick on them.

bottom line, if you're going to try to push the boundaries, and run newcastle's first proper after hours club, you need to box a little cleverer than this IMO.

It's a shame really as newcastle really does need an after hours space, but it does feel like a bit of a rooky error, and I hope it's not fucked things up long term.

I've not actually spoken to any of the licensing bods about this or anything, this is just my gut feeling from years dealing with them and the police on such things, and I can just picture how the conversation went, particularly if one of the local ward councillors had found one of the posters (or more likely been handed one by one of the powerful local residents group who're very anti any more late night licenses around that area).

a bit more subtlety may have been in order I think. Nice try though, at least you managed to do one.

deffo agree with that the "breakfast club" worked so well , there were also people eating a full english breakfast when you were dancing!

hope it comes back, all of me and my mates who go out every saturday to powerhouse without fail are gutted its shut now.

I deal with the major resident group in the area & they knew fuck all about this club night. The places that cause them the most problems are (in no particular order): The Acadmeny, The Happy Chip, Clayton street chippy & Eclipse.

There was a big article in the Chronicle last week regarding complaints by residents about the late licence this place had. And that was only a 3am finish or something. My thoughts would be that these complaints (even thought there were only a handfull) would've played a part in the council's decision to stop the 2nd night/morning @ Gossip before it went ahead.

I'm still a gutted the night was never really given a proper chance and I see Gav's point about the Morning Sickness name and flyer, but in all honesty they'd have just looked for any excuse to stop the night, regardless of how it was advertised.

again, it's newcastle councils thinking - bowing down to 1 or 2 letter writing people who MIGHT possibly complain that living bang in the middle of a vibrant city centre might "be a bit noisy"

Your wrong but I will explain it to you when I see you on a bus sometime.

Just to add these people are well aware of where they live as many of them have called the place they live in the City Centre home for over 20 years & expect/live with "a bit of noise". They are not NIMBY's either.
