October 13th - Coventry: The Eclipse Just outside Coventry city centre in the west Midlands, a tired Granada Bingo Hall in Lower Ford street is about to be inducted into the holy trinity of rave entrepreneuring.
Local business partners Stuart Reid and Barry Edwards "Invite you to a new beginning" by launching their brand new venture, the "Eclipse" to become the first dedicated all-night rave venue in the United Kingdom.
Much to the annoyance of our friends at Coventry City Council, Reid and Edwards played their cards to their chest and took advantage of the "un-used" membership loop-hole.
In order for the Eclipse to succeed, and as a legal requirement to avoid having to purchase an expensive entertainments license, any guests will have to apply to be members at least twenty-four hours before any party is due to take place and no alcohol is to be served.
For this special first night of Eclipse, Amnesia House's resident Dobbo, London's Evil Eddie Richards, Fabio, Mickey Finn and Manchester's Sasha and Tony Ross played to a very rowdy first night crowd which thankfully saw with no reports of sporadic violence or substance abuse.
Also on Eclipse's first teamsheet was 808 State's MC Tunes, the temperamental rapper blew his top and stormed off stage during his set complaining about the soundsystem and told the organisers to:
He was never invited back to perform again.
