Question is are Dirty Sanchez a big enough pull to warrant this entry price? Any feed back would be appreciated! :)" (by Entertainments)

Good god fella nice to see someone who has actually been in the real world!!


any chance of putting on a good dance nite again on a friday with a famous dj? i see the union has actually started advertising and promoting its nites at last so with the right amount it could be pulles off. we made it successful last year with a dance nite so it can be done again

Have the Ministry of Sound Mash-up tour on the 9th March featuring the Cut-up boys and Steve Sutherland & DJ Blakey on the 9th June.

but still, i had a good nite and it was nice to have a good night on a friday in the union again after so many last year. i cant really remember anything of the night so dont remember the music. but i do remember having it at the front (after dirty sanchez was over) for a while so the music must have been good. shame it had emptied out so much by then.

I got there at 9:30, and waited 2 and a half hours too see them! It was a case of the DJ going "Dirty Sanchez on Soon...honnest...."

It was hard :) They should of been on earlyer but to be honest they were booked with normal friday night busy times in mind i.e we dont open lux till 10:30 not to be fully busy till 12 which would have been great for sanchez but it was much busyer earlyer than normal i.e we opened at 9:15 the earliest since ive been djing the uni on fridays, which we should of planed for.


The Music you played was FANTASTIC but no one could be bothered to Dance and was just standing around waiting for Sanchez to come on!

Thanks for the nice coments on music :) Hopefully wheatus will be good for you as we would hate to loose anybody from fridays as its just starting to get busy again. ]]> http://www.upsu.net/go/int/rss/-/forums/v/message,3,3070.htm#3070 DJ_Kray Tue, 20 Feb 2007 15:05:47 GMT General discussion > Social:Life - chat about events at the Union http://www.upsu.net/go/int/rss/-/forums/v/message,3,3059.htm#3059

It was appauling having to wait so long for them. The Music you played was FANTASTIC but no one could be bothered to Dance and was just standing around waiting for Sanchez to come on!

Sanchez should have been on early and then the music shoulda been on after!


Also the "Stunts" sanchez did were rubbish, not a patch on their TV stuff and alot of it was fake. I saw the flower pots falling appart before they hit his head and the blood on stage was food colouring, way too watery to be blood. And they wasted time especially with that stupid Air guitar thing! I PAID MONEY TO SEE THOSE GUYS KICK SEVEN SHADES OUT OF EACH OTHER not to watch other people on stage dancing....

So again another dissapointment at the Union.... If Wheatus are poor on Friday i am not gonna bother coming back to the union for anything other than Purple wednesday...(and even then....)

Couldnt help feeling sorry for those of you who couldnt see properly from where you were at the back, but unfortunatly we're just not allowed to let you stand on furniture (think its a health and safety thing).

They were promoting something on a Saturday night - but didn't hear what. Someone said they were from nuts magazine ?

One of them said something to me about an event next Saturday when I asked what all the bikini action was all about.

When I mentioned I probably wouldn't be buying a ticket 'cos I'll be washing my hair/bathing the cat/hoovering the house, she strangely lost interest in talking to me... ;) Y'know, I think she might just have been trying to get me to buy a ticket... B)

Mayyybeeee it would have been better to show a video feed of the on-stage events on the big screen at the back of Lux, and maybe even to have looked into raising the stage another couple of feet (although it was as high as it could go on the current stage legs the Union has, and I don't know if they can go any higher...?).

Just a couple of more logical suggestions - unfortunately, stopping a very small minority of people from acting like total prats isn't so easy ;o)

All in all, a good event, perhaps lacking in pre-planning on the crowd control side.

For those who didn't go - i made a little video from what i could get. And will stick some photos up soon. I'm glad i didn't take my big camera last night, i think it would be in two pieces.

Just like to say that we are £2 cheaper than Southampton Union for Wheatus, and over half the advance tickets have already sold and I've still got 4 weeks to sell the rest! Get in!!

I'm hope that a local up and coming band called "Catch me a Comet" will be supporting wheatus, this is yet to be confirmed mind.

With regards to Dirty Sanchez at the rate they are selling I will be suprised if we have any advance tickets left by the end of the week! Dam!
