Is the backroom closed all the time now?

WE ONLY OPEN UPSTAIRS IF WE HAVE MORE THAN 1K SHINDIGAZ IN, OR WE PUT A GUEST DJ UP THERE.

no the backroom with Wella is open every week..

but upstairs doesnt

As we have a backroom for 150 people and now with the smoking ban we always seem to have around 150 - 200 smokers outside these days on the terrace!!.. (smokers and non smoking "friends" who go out for the crack with them!!) All in all those 2 rooms can take 200- 300 people of the capacity of the mainroom.. so we tend to leave upstairs until there is enough people in..

When we get near 1000 or so in we make a decision to open the upstairs floor aswell.. but we just have residents up there unless it's a specifically booked bigger night/DJs etc. like Made in Sweden etc..

We had Nic Fancuilli on and we had 1000 in.. so had to make a decision , but there was about 150 outside all the time so if we opened upstairs aswell it may have taken another 150 away etc.. rather than diluting any floor we tend to just try and make the best decision for any given night based on numbers/DJs booked etc..

Hope that explains as it has been asked before elsewhere..

sure does mate

You should hire it out to other nights imo, my nan is looking for somewhere to do her 83rd Birthday.

Last time I offered the gig to Mark Deakin he banned me

hahahaha..

I take it you didn't want him to DJ at it then so he took the huff ?

it has sooo much potential that floor but the lack of toilets stops it from being a standlone venue, which cant be helped due to plumbing/waste pipes in the centre for life building etc..

when we have the numbers in it kicks right off.. but nothing worse than opening a room and see it only get a handful of peeps in if the majority are there for the downstairs guest anyway... so we make a decision which we feel benefits the night

but those rooms are different to the other rooms?!?!

i still get confused!! so there's 4 clubbing areas to digital?

Its a shame because i love upstairs in digital

Fair play about the smokers though. There is loads of people outside when you go for a smoke. 150-200 looks about right. Ive never thought about it in terms of affecting the decision to open upstairs though

Im all for the smoking ban as it gives you time to cool down when your properly boshing it down the front. I do miss lighting up during a massive breakdown though and having a proper moment

Yeah theres 2 floors in digital and 2 floors in other rooms

we don't have the other rooms upstairs.. that gets hired out as it has its own entrance and toilets.. we just have the bar downstairs as our backroom and upstairs digital when its busy enough..

the cut thru for the smokers? it all makes sense now!!!!!!

yup.. they can go through that room to the terrace outside for a smoke without bothering the front door....

it's such a nice room that back room - pity it's used as a cut thru for the smokers

we have wella DJing in there tho.. gets going in there really well some weeks...

cant wait for jimpster on saturday

what can we expect from jimpster on sat scott/scoobz.

Newcastle has a lot of Polish/Latvian/Nigerian tradesmen ask them to plum it & I can 100% guarantee they will find a get round. THESE LADS DO FUCK AROUND WITH BUILDING REG's OR TEXT BOOK PLUMBING METHODS, TO THEM IT IS ABOUT GETTING THE JOB DONE.

Quite fancy this bt well see wot saturday brings lol

he plays deep but still manages to keep the energy up.
hes playing until 1:30 so hes the ideal warm up before tim deluxe knocks it out at the end. and im sure neil bainbridge will be knocking one off to jimpsters set

Shame about the backroom, best spot in digital imo. Dave Seaman
