A bit disapointed we didnt raise as much as we hoped.... But it was a great night!!
Well i was pretty disapointed to be fair with this event, as we had worked extreamley hard to promote this event since October last year, and as soon as Syndicate announced Slinky would be on the same night i knew we would be in trouble, and that we were.

Problems on the night - Obviously we lost Adam - Lab4 a few weeks ago due to his new comitments with Strike Artists, which ment he had to cancel our event, this was overcome by booking both Vinylgroover & Diablotrax Live PA.

Aswell as this Brian M & Mcbunn had to pull out due to them being double booked.

Scot fo Shaw had to cancel the night before due to his driver crashing the car, so he had no transport to the venue.

These blows on the way we took and overcome, and got on with the show - which i personally thought we had an amazing array of tallent in both rooms, all the DJs that played were amazing, the vibe was wkd, and everyone was having a blast. Me and Jamie lost of Virginity to the CDJs and that was the first time we have ever played out using them - and i thouroughly enjoyed it! If you caught our set your feedback would be great! We were on 1200-0100 in the Main Room.

Then as the night progressed, the numbers slowed down - we exspected this due to Slinky being on but we had a good few hundred people giving it there all!!

Then Kym went over to Slinky to round a few people up, ready for the After Party (Which was us!) Unfortunatley though, Syndicate did not inform the clubbers in their venue of this at all, as originally agreed, people were calling me asking when they were going to be given the VIP band that would allow them to come over to our venue for a reduced cost....

This was not done, according to people who came over at all, nor did they see collection buckets going around Syndicate, anywhere.

I am hugely dissapointed that this was the case, especially as our event was a 100% fundraiser for raising money to give Callum Kaye life saving treatment to overcome his battle with Cancer.

I am sure there are reasons as to "why" none of this was done.

This had major implications to our event, such that we were not at that time going to be able to cover the cost of the event with our current outgoings. This ment that the only way we would be able to try and send money to Callum and cover the costs of the night was to Cancel Lisa Pin Up at the last minute, and after talks within Nyce1 that was the action we had to take, and we are deeply sorry to anyone who did not get to see Lisa at this event.

Lisa was very supportive of the reasons, and was sadned by the decision we had to take.

But thankfully Kym Ayres stepped forward with Mich to play the last our - and i believe it was trully awsome set from both!! - And thankyou for stepping in and making better a bad situation!

We were expecting to have a near capacity club considering the line up we had - unfortunatley we had between 3 to 500 people who did make it a great night!

I would like to thank everybody who was involved/attended/contributed/donated/partyed at last nights event with out all of you last night would not of been the succsess it was despite us not reaching the amount of money we hoped to give Callum Kaye.

Thankyou to Simon for an amazing Light show, Dan for providing all the decor which was fab!
The Addicted Dancers for getting us all in the mood! All the DJs, the Diablo Crew for a wkd Live Set (Sorry about the power cut thing!) The doorstaff for being Friendly, firm and fair in their approach to their job.

The crew that went and flyered Slinky last night and took the collection buckets to help boost funds for Callums Appeal.

We will let you know exactly how much was raised as soon as Ian and his team confirm the totals we raised from Door entry, raffle tickets & the collection buckets.

We had 1 of the prizes donated back, The day in the Studio with Scott fo Shaw (the person who won was not intrested in this type of thing so if people would like to bid for this please do so in this page.

Otherwise thankyou to all of you!

Due to Bionic on May 10th @ Syndicate, we will be canceling our Return of the Big Bounce Night event, as i believe it would be suicide to run up against Syndicate again. We will update you as to when we will be back.

Thankyou to everyone who has supported us so far on our journey, if this was your first Nyce1 we hope you will be back!

All the best

Nyce1 Unleashed!

You can catch me and Jaime (Tuchet & Worm) playin at Hard INvasion this Saturday at Lakota with Andy Farley, Technical + More!! Hard Invasion we hope you will come and support us at this event!!

Keep up to date with all our bookings Tuchet & Worm's Barmey Army!! and join our group!!!

Hi all thanks for your pledges of support - its appreicaited, and nice to know were wanted!!

Just to clear a few things up, we dont want anyone to be painted bad in terms of artists etc, All the headliners aggreed to a reduced fee, and on top of that they said they would donate half that fee to the Charity themselves.

Unfortunatley we require the headliners to pull a larger crowd, as we could not really do it on our own so these people need paying. Some may do for nothing, but not all the time.

The club / decor / Lighting rigs etc were all "reduced price" for the event, and all the other artists "donated what would of been their fees to the cause.

Hope this clears a few bits up!

Thanks

Nick

Sorry to hear the night didnt go as planned, which is a shame for callum more than anything or any1. As much as every1 wants to discuss dj fees and what not, i think we're missin the point. I think it was mentioned earlier in the tread but lisa was goin to donate some of her fee to the callum fund, which wasnt all of it but it would have been better than the nothing that was received with her not playin!!!!!!!!! If all had gone well and slinky (As all big Promotional nites do) hadnt fucked ova Nyce1 then every1 wouldnt have been none the wiser that some djs we're paid.

All the work that was done before and on the night was second to none, the promotion was tighter than a ducks arse. The effort put in in to the Night, the line-up, the prizes, the collections etc etc showed the nyce1 team pulled out all the stops to make sure CALLUM has the best chance possible of the help he needs. Yes the numbers that were planned didnt quite come in but weather or not the Nyce1 team raised £10,000 or £10 the commitment showed was top quality. That alone u can walk away with ur heads held high

I had work at 530am so i couldnt stay long but form what i heard the night was spot on, every1 in there was up for it and really made the night immense.

Nick and worm should hold there heads high

Hello my love. Dont be disappointed yeh. At least you put on good events. Like someone already said, syndicate is just being selfish. They are not worth the hassle. Its not your fault. Im sure the night was alright (Y) :)

The night was fucking great all the people i was with loved it! the things that cropped up were out of your hands and were dealt with professionally, I totally support the decision that nick made as it was for the best not just for the night but also so for the fund. Like what Gary said above even if its £10.000 or £10 it still helps and goes towards the hole reason for this night CALLUM!

Not to play and then take the money raised for Callum as payment for their services.

Stop there guys....Can we all remember that Lisa is a Tidy dj and it was them that would have been taking the fee. So can we please stop slating Lisa. She was there to support the event and draw as many peeps as poss. :-) xx

maybe travel costs or a drink at the most.

LMAO
I used over £100 of deisel last night (so what) and I personally would hae been insulted had Nick or any of the guys at NYCE1 had even dared to try paying for any of the above...
It was worth every second of the 8 hours spent driving to and from the event

Well done to all involved and a HUGE thanks for making us northerners feel at home..

A MEGA HUGE thanks to Nick for allowing Tyronnster and I to play in the Main Room rather than the upstairs with our Hardstyle set (not bad considering that was our first eer b2b set & all without any practise)....

I look forward to the next fund raiser and count me in :D
