The GoGo Team announced recently that a change of venue was imminent – a venue with a dance floor big enough for all patrons… check! That, coupled with the UK Escapee Greg Belson, was enough to secure my patronage. Really great to meet you and your lovely lady Greg

I arrived at Dean & Nicci’s in plenty of time and a short spin in the car to pick up their co-promoter, John Stapleton, found us arriving at their new venue in a thrice.

WOW! What a place!! A Napoleonic Prison dating back to 1740; I stood outside staring at all the small windows (mostly filled in now) and imagined how it might have been all those years ago. Thin, filthy, scabby hands weakly holding the iron bars, hoping a passer by might offer food, sympathy or companionship. It really was quite emotional actually. Inside I took in the dank odour and visions of grown men crying out filled my thoughts. It must have been horrendous – unlike the night that unfolded for us

The place filled quickly and the dance floor soon became a hive of activity. Whilst there were many people I knew there was also a healthy attendance of Muggles. It all worked so beautifully though and every person there was having a fantastic time.

The room had an awesome ambience. John’s attention to detail with projected imagery created facets of sparkle. Night-club type lighting added a horny feel as the strobe fleetingly lit up my face from time to time; it was akin to musical masturbation

Musically diverse; sets peppered with ‘wow’ moments amongst tried and tested slabs of well known hoofers. The balance was perfect and the dance floor was the proof of the pudding. I hogged that floor for most of the night; the recipient of 4 humbling complimentary conversations about my dancing and one request for dance lessons

So many ‘punch the air’ opportunities and one truly damp pair of knickers. That’s what it’s all about. I wanted the night to never end if I’m honest. A whole evening full of passion and camaraderie.

So fucking brilliant to see Nick and Hannah

As you know, I’m an allnighter girl but this new venue, with it’s eclectic mix of soul, has secured my continued patronage. Next month’s guests are definitely worth a mention too; Mark White & Adam Topping. My hips are already aching with baited anticipation. And all for a measly fiver; the best £5 I’ve parted with in a long time. At the end John mentioned that he’d not had the opportunity to play any Reggae because Greg muscled in for a little more action. I said ‘good’ haha!

Thank you so much to Nicci, Dean and John; I am your humble servant. And a special thank you for the use of your sofa, your hospitality and the CDs – not forgetting the hiss I received from your ultra-cool fat cat
