Shindig Announcement: "It's Not Where We've Been...But Where We're Going"



Shindig: "It's Not Where We've Been...But Where We're Going..."

After 17 years of non-stop weekly clubbing, it’s time we spread our wings a little.

As of August 2009 Shindig will no longer reside in Digital on Saturday nights.

We are inviting you to party with us for our last ever Saturdays in the Digital domain during July. Our final send off being on Saturday 18th July with special guest LAIDBACK LUKE and, as always, our team of loyal residents...

So, the tongues start wagging. We hear you say “Are there problems?”, “Can’t they handle the Ladyboys of Bangkok this year?” , “Is it because that clubber with the headphones keeps coming?”, well no, not really. From starting out as a place for two bedroom DJs to play their records, to running every week for 17 years, Shindig has achieved what no other club in the North East has done.

Shindig has given us great pride. These two bedroom DJs still love clubbing and all it has given us.

This ever-changing musical and financial climate demands evolution, and with our weekly restraints removed we can now develop and explore new spaces. Shindig on Saturday’s with it's peerless mixture of exciting new guests and worldwide talent will be manifesting into a new entity entirely. Our future is exciting us..

Don’t worry though, as well as new exciting spaces, Shindig will still be hosting large scales events on alternate nights back at Digital on the North’s biggest sound system. Look out for a big August Bank Holiday production, along with further planned events rolling into the autumn months.

where's it moving then?

whq ? or possibly the other rooms/digi upstairs theory ive been bleating on about for a while ?

Does that mean physically, or musically?

Musically I reckon, couldn't see it leaving Digital like

Be a bit crazy to radically change their musical direction after it's served so well for so long!!! No mention of July's listings on Digi's site or Shindig's either for that matter so it looks like it could be the location that is changing. WHQ would be a good bet.

does whq have 2 rooms ? was there for tweakin and the main room is decent - could do with some fucking lights tho.

Yeah... I'd hardly call that an announcement. Has more in common with an episode of Lost.

tough club to fill, maybe not filling it week in/week out - one offs work well....

Are you going on a summer holiday?

aye its either, taking a bit of a break or moving venue - i cant see it musically changing, its canny diverse anyways so i wouldnt say it has a 'set' style.

i went to scarborough 2 weeks ago and stayed in my mates cottage. i went on the pirate ship around the bay. it was lovely. i seagull poo'd on me.

you mean?

is that empty like ?


memories

the times i've been past - totally empty. brick pillars are still there

Are they offices or apartments?
