April 28th - Whitchurch: Amnesia House Now named "Amnesia House", the three founding partners of the Coventry based organisation are joined by new member of their team, Bambam's brother Mickey Lynas. Moving forward with a greater purpose, Amnesia's sole objective for this year is to be the biggest organisers in the Midlands and they started by recruiting Micky to join their creative team.
Loud and confident from the beginning, Micky takes center stage and re-assures the public and his peers that he will "make the top grade as a favourable promoter". A few weeks later the new partnership shows the opposition what they have to offer when they sign on with their debut legal party, "Kaleidoscope" at the Civic Centre in the small market town of Whitchurch in north Shropshire.
