Thought seein' as there ain't as many to review this event I'd do a decent postage no sorry I do seem to ave covered my night
no sorry I do seem to ave covered my nightApologies for the delay wiv' mi' review, like to take it all in and try to remember everything b4 putting it all down!!! ..err but afta' DAN's review, dont need to do any on the choonz really cause I agree wi' wot he said am gonna try cover other parts of the night/club aswell. oh btw Dan
Was'nt gonna :| but yep, had a last minute epiphany just as mi good mate Sar from Bradford called me up for a natter. Ended up tellin' her bout' it, next thing am gettin' mi' shizzle sorted to go wiv her. 
Met on services M61 an' afta' abit of the typical female prunin' coasted on int' BOWTON. It was chocablock :S luckily we both found spaces to park on a FREE carpark almost directly opposite Fluid BONUS. PPL everywhere, traffic was manic round the centre and plenty of boyz in blue stratigically placed to watch the proceedings lol!

BONUS. PPL everywhere, traffic was manic round the centre and plenty of boyz in blue stratigically placed to watch the proceedings lol! Got to the club just after 11 so it was'nt free entry but only £2 thats all, would'nt mind paying that to see Matt Bell DJ on his tod so was more than fair imo, again swarming wi' tabbers(smokers) outside. Thought it was the queue for a split sec pheeew!! (hair do, c'mon lol)
As soon as we got in there a wave of heat hit us full on 
could tell mi hair was gonna ave to go up 
Neva' been ClubFLuid b4 so dunno, went with an openmind but as it was named a Club was'nt wot I'd expect to find, it resembled more of a bar to me, would'nt class it as a Club personally. If I remember it was all quite darkish colours, as Dan said there was a sorta' mini fair at the front and yes 
to go with it quiiiiite a few youngster!!! The bar was situated all down the lefthand side with a few steps up to the slightly higher floor, DJ booth was right at the back covering most of the back wall with the *ahem* toilets immediatley to the left.
Was'nt packed by any means at this point but were enough rockin' it at the bad to create that sauna feeling ya' get when out Ravin' Sar got first drinks in, both on pop lol (redbull) prices fluctuated between £2+£4 quid so am guessin' there must of had an offer/promo on at sum stage??

Sar got first drinks in, both on pop lol (redbull) prices fluctuated between £2+£4 quid so am guessin' there must of had an offer/promo on at sum stage?? Unfortunately cause of the time we got there, had missed Rhythm FX's set sowwy!! Smoke was on the 1+2's when we got to the back and bangin' out sum kerwaliteee Italian Pia Pia Piano ....Sar bein' Sar hit the floor straight away but I hung back, keepin' mi eye on her..off she went.... I remember just standing looking round takin everything in.....but not for too long let me tell theee CHOOONAGE!!! 
can't rhyme off tune idz like the guys can but one afta the otha' the Italian Beauties kept coming, THEN just like EY UP!! dropp'd Emily Heyl its one of mi' fav5 at the mo, can't listen to it enough lol!! thought it might not even get played so from that point on I was on it \o/\o/ Niiice One Smoke!!! was goin' up for 12 at this point he was still bangin out the piano creme de la creme chooonz whippin' up the crowd which seemed to ave trebled since we arrived and seemed to be gettin anxious awaiting Matt Bell!!! you could actually sense the anticipation round the room...Lights Go Up, Crowd Go Bananas!!!!
...Gotta' to say he looked well behind the 1+2's again and ya' should ave' seen the beaming grin on his face was propa' from ear to ear \o/ got abit kaotic cause ppl crowded round him takin' pics/vids, even trying to shake his hand...could tell he wanted to oblige but he had curiousities to satisfy and ears to ring so on he went and did'nt disappoint either ...... absolute Top Drawer stuff !!! every tune was a minter, remember Back to the Future and wooohhooo when he dropped MastaBlasta RIOT the place went MENTAL and were soooo luvin' it!!! played an absolute Stormer and well worth the wait imo....

.....also liked how Danny did a specific 'ickle house set at the end...Dream Frequency, err.....Visionmasters wooohooooooaaaaaaa \o/\o/

ooops, nearly... the MC's-Irie BMW & Smoke SORRY but that tells me they were good and not overpowering, yeh all three sorta played PASS The MIC throughout the night and it did work really well...I thought Irie was better than he was at Zone Reunion, BMW liked him from Monroes dayz and I'd neva heard Smoke b4 but he's deffo got one of them voices for it and again was'nt too much knew when to break and shaddap if ya know wot I mean...intune wi the DJz rather than in competition with, which is the prob with MCz these dayz but these dudes are 'skool' and know the dance lol!
