Due to a sequence of events beyond our control Maison will NOT be at Dusk Till Dawn (Bournemouth) this New Year's Eve. We had a deal with DTD which they have broken. We will not be doing any more events there.

I'm not sure at the moment whether or not we will do an alternative event, which means it is a possibility that we won't have a NYE event for the first time in a long time. We have built our reputation by doing what we say we're going to do when we say we're going to do it, and by being trustworthy and reliable. Unfortunately those aren't characteristics shared by a lot of the people in this industry, which is why generally club owners / promoters are a shady bunch of cretins who you shouldn't touch with a barge pole.

On the whole we've met some fantastic people during the last 9 years and had a great time, but that isn't to say that the same bad apples don't keep cropping up and screwing people over whenever they get the opportunity. It's a shame, because we like to think the best of people and give them the opportunity to do the right thing, but in this instance the people in question didn't even come close.

This means that our 9th Birthday is very likely to be our last event of the year, so let's make it our best.

We're really sorry to all of the people who normally travel from far and wide for our NYE events. We hope this doesn't p*ss you off too much... we'll make up for it throughout 2007 with some great parties. Please spread the word (add buddies etc) that we're not doing a NYE event. If the situation changes we will let you know immediately.

Thanks very much,

Cliff Lay

Doing the right thing since 1997 ;-)

What time you on sanger? Got the Pseudo Funk boys ( DELETE ) on from 6.30am, soem serious trippy pumpin minimal techno!!!!

sorry joe theyve all been cancelled, im doin the entertainment all night long singing to requests as the operation was a success and ive had the jolly rancher removed from my throat, the juke box takes £1 coins so make sure you bring plenty of change.

Puffter!

You coming? Or are you still going to see former arsenal and england goalkeeping leg end play, David Seaman?

you still going to see former arsenal and england goalkeeping leg end play, David Seaman?

his wife is cooking lasagne it would be rude not to show mate im sure they could set another place at the table for you if youd like!

shit im hijaking this thread, talking about another night at dave seamans house which is no way connected to maison or DtillD, sorry lol

Yes, be very careful of what you say Glen, there are ears and eyes everywhere, Mr Disco Pop and his contingent of Anti HI jacking thread pictures, links and quotes are monitoring are every letter .... you'd think they would get bored .....

Shifty eyes ........

Mr Disco Pop and his contingent of Anti HI jacking thread pictures, links and quotes


dont upset disco on here man seriously he is the controller of the entire b'mouth division of dsi soon to be ruler of the world, where we all must where hats, glasses and not hijack! lol to be fair thats pretty much all the rules he's gona enforce though im gona go out and pick myself up a hat tomorrow just to be ready.

just to make sure im not hijacking, im going to talk about maison for a sec.... sat was cool took me a while to get into it though got caught up talking jibba jabba for too long but enjoyed findlays set, and it seemed tash was having a good b'day. really sorry to hear bout NYE, last year was quality and other than this residents party doesnt seem to be much else going on intown for the music lovers! which is a bit poo!

Oooh bitchy!!

To be honest it is a bit out of order trying to big up NYE at DTD on a thread saying that it has been screwed over by them. They've ruined my NY and I'd say quite a few other peoples. I'm not going to go to DTD cos I don't really rate it in there, one of the only nights I've actually enjoyed was the maison classics, the rest are pretty average.

serious trippy pumpin minimal techno

Good Lord, that sounds like my worst nightmare! I'm sure Ryan will be there though ;-)

I'm going to jump on the bandwagon and hold my own party and create my own genre of music - I'll call it "neo-ska-folk-new-wave-trip-hop-Northern-soul" - any takers?

Good Lord, that sounds like my worst nightmare!

Me too! :o)

Mention the word 'minimal' and I switch off; throw in 'techno' and I've usually left the room by that point.

trying to big up NYE at DTD

well i wasnt atall im not even going, me and kirst are in london in a lovely hotel for 2 nights! my coments were a little tongue-in-cheek im not really singnig karaoke @ DtillD sorry for the confusion im sure i could set up a party where i could sing for anybodys enjoyment! and also comments made by me to mr fabulous were also a joke i dont think he has world domination in mind i might be wrong, sorry clare.

and while were are on the subject of maison clare why had you gone before 1 oclock withought a boogy on the dancefloor? naughty you more effort nxt time please the night got better as it went on you and francis should have stuck it out! and you missed ryan getting thrown out lol

That's worth the entrance fee alone.

me and kirst are in london in a lovely hotel for 2 nights

You boring blighters! We thought we could count on you two for NYE japes and capers!

Mr. Bob, what are your plans? How about Mr. Shotter?

You boring blighters! We thought we could count on you two for NYE japes and capers!

this dude and dudet are packing our bags and getting away from the b'mouth NYE fiasco you could come join us if you like, NYE at canvas then the hotel has nice indoor pool jacuzzi sauna etc very nice!

i dont get the reason a big deal is being made about hijaking. surely if the night has been cancelled dont people have the right to find out what the now alternatives are? whether its joe russ etc talking bout DTD, hudo talking about elements, me talking about singing karaoke, i do presume you all intend on still doing something NYE im sure when you all found out maison was cancelled you asked the question "what do i do now"? and surely as this is where most of your maison friends will talk some options BRIEFLY mentioned on here doesnt detract from the fact every1 is gutted theres not a maison NYE this yr. cliffs peeved off enough that he cant put this party on he wouldnt exactly want to see every1 boycot NYE as a whole though im sure cliff will go out himself somewhere

I wasn't really talking about you bigging up DTD. I left early on Sat cos I hadn't been well all week and was on anti-biotics for a throat infection, was absolutely shattered and my voice had practically disappeared. Poor show though I know! ;o)

ahh poorly well you werent your usual crazy self that was for sure hope your better now?? and mr 'birthday boy' francis wasnt exactly the life and soul of the party he looked cream crackerd, JP seemed wasted though after you lot were gone hadnt seen him like that for ages.

I wasn't really talking about you bigging up DTD

my mistake sorry i guess that i thought you were cause your comment was directly after mine. so what will you do now though that youve got friends who have already paid to come down? house party? jumpin jaks? nothin?

Good Lord, that sounds like my worst nightmare!

It should be ..... Electronica/Techno/Minimal its an awesome sound! Watch this space ....

Mention the word 'minimal' and I switch off; throw in 'techno' and I've usually left the room by that point.

Didnt you and John, Glen, Kirst co go see Craig Richards at Maison the other month?

Im sure he would have played pretty minimal, unless he is going back to the old days and playing ' good ' tech house ' for us Bournemouth lot, also Cliff done wonders in bringing Clive henry to Maison, another Minimal head who played a wicked minimal set on the night .... i left after he finished.

You guys are all probs hearing minimal tunes ( all be it commercial ) while your out, probs dont notice, but if its publicised then peeps stereotype the sound and sack it off.

Give it a chance and come with an open mind. Techno rocks!

Electronica/Techno/Minimal its an awesome sound!

Entirely unconvinced, I'm afraid, Joe - not my cup of tea!

JP seemed wasted though after you lot were gone hadnt seen him like that for ages

Oh, I see! When the cat's away... Naughty boy! Did he embarass himself, Glenda?

you could come join us if you like, NYE at canvas then the hotel has nice indoor pool jacuzzi sauna etc very nice

Hmm... yes, sounds gorgeous... if you can convince Mr. Parker to pay for it! Chances are slimmer than Nicole Richie, to be fair ;-)
