[DJing/Setlist] The 80s Night, Whitby Goth Weekend, Sun 23rd Apr 2017

[dancefloorlandmine]

This time around The 80s Night was moved across the road from our previous venue to RAW Nightclub - bigger bar, bigger sound system, club lights, bigger dancefloor, and the return of my co-DJ, Kat (retrokitty). Also, an even sturdier booth to make it even less likely I'd endanger the punters with my dancing as well as our music.

Ours was the first act in a three-part night - The 80s Night, followed by a rather good Gary Numan tribute band, and then an alternative club night to complete the night.

The evening also saw the welcome resurgence of the (in)famous queue, much to the confusion of the bar staff.

I think I've made the offer of flyering help before, but it's open and perhaps more relevant now we can physically fit more people into the venue?

I wonder if anyone went to the "official" 80s night. ;-)

[miss_s_b]

That is a setlist I could dance to

[dancefloorlandmine]

We should be back again next Whitby Goth Weekend.

(Otherwise, I'll be inflicting a slightly wider range of musical goodness on the fine attendees at Lazlar Lyricon 3, rather sooner.)

[miss_s_b]

I should totally go to Whitby Goth weekend. It's just that it always seems to coincide with elections...

[dancefloorlandmine]

Well, the next one is at the end of October ...

(Lazlar Lyricon 3 is just after the general election, which could result in some strong emotions.)

[damerell]

To which, alas, it turns out I am not going. It's the weekend after Leipzig and it's not really going to work.

[vampwillow]

Great setlist! and I always believed that there was no good music in the 80s ...

[angelkitty101]

Sounds utterly brilliant! I haven't heard 7 o'clock since XLs days! Wish I'd been there!

[dancefloorlandmine]

Well, it seemed fitting, given we started at seven. [grin]
