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

nearly!

Not sure its appropiate to discuss NYE at DSD in the Maison regulars forum! Could be wrong but from the original post dont think it was cancelled on good terms.

absolutely agree... but its not a hijack!

Sorry sir!

well i think the residents party @ dusk till dawn nye, will be one to remember they do have alot of talented dj s there now and they all deserve a play on nye.

That surely qualifies!

Chill out ladies!

Lets all have a good nye were ever that be, i'll be at DTD if anyone fancies a boogie!!

so you keep saying

Im on repeat

NEW Chill out ladies!

Think we're just making a point - no chilling required. We're pretty chilled. Anyway I'll be at Elements if you fancy a boogie on NYE - £15. ;-)

Elements, whats on there then?

Me neither but I'm an old dog anjd I've just learned a new trick!

well i think the residents party @ dusk till dawn nye, will be one to remember they do have alot of talented dj s there now and they all deserve a play on nye. i think that maison is better back at the firestation got much more room to stomp the night awayxx it will all be good in the end...cant wait for the 9th birthday...

That's all very well but it's very annoying for those who had arranged for about 10 friends to come down from London for Maison, they aren't interested in coming all that way to go to a residents party at DTD. If they had promised that night to Maison they should have stuck to it, just being selfish and not thinking of the customers and people who had planned their night around Maison (including buying coach/train tickets). All because the residents want a bit of a spin!

Im going to hed kandi ....

dusk til dawn is gonna be madness on nye check the line up out,its a shame maison arent doing it,but theres still some quality djs playing,and where else are ppl going to go that love underground music in town!!
