We will be celebrating Maison’s 9th Birthday at the Fire Station on Saturday 25th November. The line-up is huge, our biggest of the year and a fitting way to remember 9 years of partying. Groove Armada have played for us a few times in the past and every single gig has been an absolute roadblock. This time around Tom Findlay will be DJing as well as bringing his new band Sugardaddy to play upstairs. Also on the bill are Jon Carter, Phat Phil Cooper, Tosh Ohta and me.

Be warned that a very limited number of early-bird tickets are on sale now from www.viewtickets.co.uk . Tickets will go into local outlets today (Monday 30 October). Do not leave it until the last minute – you’ll be left out in the cold… Groups of 10 or more please call our office: 01202 315 333.

I know, it's scary stuff! I've got my graduation on Friday - far too grown-up for my liking! Tash, which date is your actual birthday?

i'll try and call in for a bit, but i'm normally running around headless chicken style before we do a party... just let me know when and where and i'll do my best...

Will be hearing Jon Carter at the Pier in Portsmouth the night before, but am still yet to hear Groove Armada so really think this is a must regardless of how messy Friday leaves me!!

Went to the Old Fire Station a few years ago for new year. Think Lottie played. Have to say though that I wasn't overly impressed with the sound system....it was too quiet! Does anyone know if this is still the case or not?

I wasn't overly impressed with the sound system....it was too quiet! Does anyone know if this is still the case or not?

definitely not... the sound was amazing for Craig Richards a couple of weeks ago... really punchy and absolutely not quiet!

the word on the street is that its BOOMING !!

I was deaf in my left ear for a good 2 days after Craig Richards. Plenty loud from where i was stood.

Oh that is good news.....Junior hun, can we go to this?

Junior hun, can we go to this?

you can Im playing in pompey

Bollox to ya then I'll go on my own!

How about Karma, Label or somewhere nice and close for a pre drink, way too cold to be traipsing half way across town...

Label

What is that when it's at home?!

Label is the old slug and lettuce.
Karma is now called the Metropole.

Its all change on the Lansdown

NEW How about Karma, Label or somewhere nice and close for a pre drink, way too cold to be traipsing half way across town...

yes yes i was thinking this today, label could be quite a handy place to meet?

What possessed them to call it Label?!

No idea, hasn't really changed much since Slug and Lettuce though.

Don't think I can go for a pre drink now anyhow.

What possessed them to call it Label?!

I guess it was to prevent confusion after they rebranded Casa as a 'Slug and Lettuce'.

No, I just mean it's a funny name.

What are your birthday plans, Mr. Henderson?
