Due to our warped Government and its Customs and Immigration Department’s baffling thinking, we have been hit hard by decision’s completely out with our control. Both Minderbender and Rodi Style will not be able to fulfil their commitments for the Tidy & Hardbeat Manifesto due to issues with their entry to the UK from USA and Canada respectively.

Mindbender was refused entry on the grounds that he had recently lost his job and wife since the trip was booked and they were not confident that he would return after his 2 week stay (who in their right mind would seriously chose the UK in December over Arizona I don't know!)

Rodi has suffered an unexpected delay in his Entertainer/Working Visa being granted, due to a change in the rules since 27th November and the backlog this has created. This is expected to be rectified soon, but sadly not in time for Friday.

Given the short notice and the exceptionally busy time of year for everyone, we weren’t sure we would be able to replace them at such short notice, but we got on the phone and secured 2 very able bodied replacements in the shape of Morgan and Neal Thomas.

Morgan came a very close second to Rodi in last year’s Hard Dance Awards and capitalised fully on this success with appearances for both Weekenders, Creamfields, Kiddstock and many more and had success in the studio too with his remix of ‘For an Angel’ making it onto tidy’s latest album ‘Inspirations for a Harder Generation’.

As well as being a regular face on Goodgreef line ups, Neal Thomas' productions are fast making a name for themselves, these include his debut track C64 (signed to Traffic Records) and a techno remix of CRW – ‘I feel love’. Most recently his soon to be released tracks 'Evolve', 'The Virus', 'Avalancha', 'Ripper' & 'Chemical Bass' have had regular plays on Radio One and received backing from Judge Jules & Kutski.
