First and foremost I like to wish the pointblank crew a happy New Year and to congratulate them on another year of quality radio.
Now lets cut to the chase
As one of the promotors involved in the boxing day bash I like to set the record straight and address a few of the issue mentioned on the message board about SL1s and the party on boxing day.
Ok leading up too the party we had heard stories about the doorstaff being heavy handed so this was a big worry for us
we had spoken to the owners on this issue and hoped there would be a more relaxed vibe on the night ( from the comments on the board this didn't happen )
Any one who ever went to Mirage and remembers the stories about the doorstaff and the lifts ( maybe a urban myth )knows how reputations can make or break a nightclub.
We have since spoke ( again) to the club about their doostaff and lets hope in the future things improve.
Admission price we must admit seemed very high at £10 but that is what is charged on a friday and saturday and the club asked if we could stick to that price. When asked how they can justify this fee they assured us it covered the staff wages and opening cost of a night ( there is 12 doorman most nights )On boxing day the club just broke even.
A dj was thrown out, I have spoken to this person and the doorstaff. This person was caught attempting to take drugs in the toilets. SL1s like Pointblank can't be seen promoting drug use.
The young lady who was thrown out was involved in a fight and asked to leave.
At the moment their is no admission after 12oclock this is the decision of the council(because its a new club ).
On the plus side I spoke to a lot of people who had a wicked night and loved the music.
Until the problems are addressed as a promotion team we won't be having any more parties there.
Many thanks Steve and Houseproud crew

Nice to hear someone explain the facts and put a few things into perspective...
I hope the management at SL1 take advantage of the advice given by House Proud and create a new and acceptable image for themselves.
Good luck all DJ's Promoters & clubs for the new year !!!
