Well what can i say about this night . . . .
theres so much i would like to type to say about the night , but still feelin a little numb at the mo , not really sunk in yet that our nights will no longer be there . . .
so will try my best so here goes . . .
This for me was a very sad night (but also prolly one of the best for me personally in many ways ) as it is was the end of an era for not only Goodtimes but also the clubbers of Huddersfield on a whole , as this was the original birthplace of Goodtimes way back in 1999 , and also a club ive been going to since 1996 as a clubber before i got into djin and promoter , . . . am sure i dont need to say the club will be sorely missed by so many for so many reasons . . . but id like to think we saw the place off in TRUE GOODTIMES style . . . .
right on to the night itself in a little more detail . . .
First off the turnout was HUGE , specialy to say it was a NON FLYER event , didnt think that many would have turned up off just really word of mouth , (but then again it was free in , lol ) but to my suprise the club was nicely rammed , and by 12 was near full capacity , with all 3 floors being used . . . .
All the djs played ABSOLUTE BLINDERS !! and did Goodtimes proud , so thank you all , and hope u all enjoyed being a part of the last GT @ this venue
First Dj was little sam , a mate of mine who GT has been groomin so to speak with warm up slots the hour before we open for the past six months , played his first real slot , and did the fookin job pullin out some REET italo house tunes ( sure VA will give his HUGE thumbs up for this set , eh fella
) .
Next up was DJ Haighy , who played the last set on boxin day just gone , and what a set it was !!!!
some beautys dropped in and around , ( even had me avin my phone out for ID's . lol )
Our resident Paul H was up next ( who covered for Eddy as hes on Holiday , am sorry you missed it fella . .
) Pauls was yet another top set , with some awesome tunes being thrown on ( again ad me phone out gettin IDS . lol ) and some top scratchin thro out the set as well
Sully was up next, for a return set after the last one went down so well
proper full on dirty break beat , with some awesome piano breaks towards the end of the set , that sort of stuff normally doesnt go down well in most old skool nights , but we all know the Goodtimes crowd is diff , and they fookin buzzes off it , and split the night up well
Ste Huxley come up next , a dj that has become a BIG goodtimes crowd fave over our time at that vene , so knew the crowd was in for a treat
didnt really get to hear much of his whole set tho , all i know is i erd SOME FOOKIN TUNES and arf being pumped out , and well got the crowd goin for the last hour . .
And thanks to mr maddox . . u done a top job and could see you were as upset as me
well nearly
then it was me as thought it was only right i played the last set of the night there , as i have played at every Goodtimes since 1999 ( came close to missin it as spent all the day before throwin my guts up and shittin threw the eye of a needle . lol ) so wasnt feelin 100% come satrday morning but there was nothing on this earth that could ave made me miss my own last night there . lol ) this set will prolly stick in my mind for a long as im able to remember
from the moment i dropped my 1st tune i knew it was gonna be one to enjoy to the MAX !!! ( as many of youll ave seen from me boucnin up and down like an absolute nutter soon as i dropped a tune in
) . . like to think i played a set that many will remember as i tried to play all the tunes that ave been crowd pleasers for me over the past few years , with a few new ones thrown in
. . when it got to 2.50 and the lights came on ( dont ask me why tho ?? lol ) the crowd just got a 2nd wind and absolutly WENT ON ONE like i not seen many times , think the ocassion will ave ad summat to do with that tho
. . got to 3am so was time for my last 3 tunes . .
first off came DREAM FREQUENCY / GOODTIMES . . a tune which is spec to GT as it played a part in the namin of the night back in 1999
, and we like to think of it as "the GT anthem"
stood beind the decks and could see the whole crowd singing / screamin bouncin along to it all the way thro . . next up a dropped EXODUS TO PARADISE / ROCK IT . . one of my all time fave tunes from Life @ bowlers , then was time for the last tune of the night . . had put a lot of thought into what i was gonna play as me last , and thought it quiet appropreiate that . . DILEMMA / IN SPIRIT would be the best choice , a wiked tune and a very movin one at that
, am sure some will have seen me avin to hold back the tears half way thro the tune
:$ :$
i even thougt fook it and made my way onto the main stage for a "final dance" for a couple of minutes half way thro the tune . . lol
. . got back behind the decks as the tune started to finish , the tune finished and the crowd went mental , i can safely say ive never had as much respect and buzziness from a crowd off any night ive ever played in my life inc GT !!!!! its that that makes it all worthwhile to me and gives me a bigger buzz than any amount of money could ever bring me from promoting ( hence the free night for you guys , that actually cost me . lol only a little like . . but was more than worth it and ill never forget it ever i dont think
. .
so thank you to each and every one that turned up and helped make the night was it was
its you lot that make GT what it is , not me , i just put it all togther . .
i can PROMISE you all that Goodtimes
WILL BE BACK VERY VERY SOON
BIGGER AND BETTER THAN EVER !! so watch this space
this may be the end of an era in one way , but is also the start of a new one
which will see Goodtimes returning even BIGGER and BETTER !!!
Big thanks also has to go out to the club owners , its been a nice and mmemorable journey while it lasted , also big up to the door staff whove worked for us for the past 6 months , wish more bouncers were like you , was a few spots of trouble thro out the night ( 2 or 3 to my knowin ) and they were dealt with nice and fast and taken out of the club as it should be
so didnt marr the night one bit for me plus it was to be expected a little with the free entry which attracted a few beers heads . .
also i will be bring out a dvd vid of the night was we got some AWESOME footage
will post some pics as well , soon as i can . . .
THANK YOU ALL ONCE AGAIN FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS , LONG MAY IT CONTINUE . . .
loads of good piccies from the night and video footage ..
