Maison's first Sunday night event...
Well - I hope you all enjoyed it... as usual I spent most of the night running around but highlights for me were:

seeing how quickly the club filled up when we opened the doors. Upstairs was full within 20 minutes and Tosh played some really good back-room tunes.

seeing so many girls in the club. Seriously! Every time I've been out in Bournemouth recently I've been horrified to see masssive groups of guys - and sometimes no girls at all. We went to another club in Bournemouth recently and at one point looked around to see 90% guys - no disrespect to that club - it just seems that there are too many men in Bournemouth and the girls have been hiding. Last night there seemed to be loads more girls out - and they all seemed to be having a great time... hopefully they'll be back again soon ;-)

the last half an hour of Clive Henry's set - it's the first time I've seen Clive in a couple of years but his music was fantastic. We opened the main room late to give everyone a chance to hang out in the bar and the backroom. I only had an hour or so to warm-up and fill the dancefloor for Clive to take over, so I maybe played a bit more full-on for a warm-up than me (or Clive) would have liked. Clive slowed things down a bit at the start and took the music a bit deeper... it definitely paid off though and by the end of his set the room was rocking to some brilliant tunes (anybody know any of them? Apart from Ame - Rej, which I caught early on, I don't think I know any of them...

seeing the Engine Rooms bouncing to the Geek Chic boys (didn't get to hear more than one record at a time but those i did hear were very good). The floor was a bit like an ice-rink, but the flowers on the bar and on the tables (and in the girls' toilets apparently) were a nice touch and certainly made the place feel a bit more homely - hopefully we can build on that for the next party.

great to see the King Unique boys do their thing (who very nearly didn't make it back from Moscow the previous night - so thanks to them for persisting with the Russian airport employees to get them on their plan). I haven't heard them for a couple of years either but they certainly did what they promised - tough, dirty house music right to the end.

I only caught a few minutes hear and there of the Unabombers, but as always their music blew me away. They're taste in music is second-to-none...

Charlie Lang and his birthday stagger. I think it's fair to say Charlie's birthday drinks got the better of him at some point... how he managed to walk home I'm not sure but he left a message on my phone earlier so he's still in one piece... Happy Birthday Charlie!

old friends - lots of people at the club that I haven't seen out for a couple of years. I know a lot of you travelled a long way to come out - hope it was worth it!

We Love... obviously last night's party was nothing compared to the treats the We Love crew have got in store for you at Space in Ibiza this summer - but hopefully the atmosphere, the people, and the variety of music in all the rooms is a taster of the We Love Sundays experience.

Thanks to everyone who came and partied. Tell us what you thought...

I have spoken to loads of people that have said this was the best Maison they've been for ages!!
Always a good sign!

Highlights of my night were headbanging at the front with Ryan who I am convinced is off his trolley and drinking most of Glens beer!! Cheers for that fella, I owe you a pint!! haha

King Unique were spot on as as Cliff and Clive Henry. Best music I've heard out for a long time! =o)

Downstairs in Maison was so spankingly good, I was a little bit in love with the good tunes, I danced my ass off for about 4 hours from Cliff til the end!

Saw lots of regulars too. Those who stopped going when it left the Showbar don't know what they are missing... Since the reunion its soooo getting better again. All of you should come back! i think everyone is agreed that Maison people are just completely lovely!

Disco love to you all x

Disco Deb good to see you at Maison baby... LOOKING FINE as usual, how do you still look like a babe at 4am, not hair out of place and cheeks still glowing? At Dusk til Dawn you looked fresh as a daisy!

Maison was bloody cool, it was spanking, it was awsome, what more can I say, good to see you girl!

Good to see you loved it too.

Are you DJing at HIFI at the end of the month?

I have been given two VIP tickets for HIFI Sunday which give you access to the Hed Kandi Marquees amongst other things. Will not be there for the whole weekend as I find camping as scary as spiders! But if you are there I will come and hear you and say hello. x

I won't be DJing at HIFI - basically because I am not a DJ and would just get too wasted and miss my set anyway!! But I will be dancing all night long see you there Disco.
