November - Bootle: Quadrant Park

In an attempt to an quell the overwhelming demand for all-night parties on Merseyside, nightclub owner James Spencer spots the revenue potential by revealing his latest project to the public, the "Pavilion" at Quadrant Park in Bootle, Merseyside.

 

Seldomly used as a car boot market in the days before Quadrant Park, party organisers will now have the extra option of using the refurbished warehouse underneath the building taking the venue's capacity to over three-thousand. Exploiting the local council laws to their limits, another legal loop-hole means that the management at the venue do not need to re-apply for an expensive all-night entertainments license because the Quad technically has one already...

 

In the venue's previous life as a snooker hall, the club needed a twenty-four hour entertaiments license in order for it to stay open all-night and more importantly, to play "background music" to it's patrons and that license is still currently valid. One vital stipulation of the license is that all guests attending the all-nighters had to be paid-up members of the snooker hall.

 

Using a weird arrangement and to make full use of their loop-hole, members and regulars at quadrant park have to do a "project" and vacate the building helf-way during the night when the first club night has to offically "finish" at 2am. Then guests have to then go round the back of the venue to the pavilion entrance where they would pay another tenna to get back into the venue and carry on partying until six o'clock in the morning!.

 

The managements extra fleecing policy doesn't really detter anybody from leaving at two because word of the quad's success will spread through the party scene and soon the club will be invaded weekly by clubbers from all over the country who just want to sample the quadrant vibe.

 

 

 

November 10th - Basingstoke: Evolution

Phil Castle and Martin Phippen's Pawprint returns to participate in another case study of house music with a twist of "Evolution" at Park Prewitt Hospital in Basingstoke, Hampshire.

 

Attendees at their party may be in for a slight culture shock as the venue is in the grounds of a mental hospital that has known to have the odd known occurrences it's patients walking around the vicinity in their bedclothes. But that technicality shouldn't deterre the guests as they have come to hear London's Matt "B", Yikes resident Marvin Connors, Martin "P", Stuart "B" and Phil Castle.

 

 

November 17th - London: Telepathy

There is a new promoter on the scene as Brett and Sting from Telepathy will attempt to "Expand Your Mind" at Marshgate Lane in Bow, east London.

 

 

November 23rd & 30th - Leicester: Amnesia House

Due to the tragic chain of events that took place in July this year which led to the subsequent closure of the Sky Blue Connexion in Ryton-On-Dunsmore, Shropshire, Amnesia House travel northwards to host "The next best thing" parties at Spectrum's "Studio 1" Leicester, Leicestershire.
