SHIVA: The Final Party At Canvas

With the closure of the clubs in the infamous Goods Yard in King's Cross imminent, Shiva announce their plans to put on a party to signal their final extravaganza at Canvas. A night that will all be about encapsulating all those cherished clubbing memories and moments experienced over the years - and bringing back the Good Times! With Norman Jay MBE headlining the proceedings, the night will certainly be one to remember before they spell the start of a new Shiva chapter in 2008.....

The end of an era in clubbing is truly upon us as Shiva hosts one of the closing parties at Canvas London and are extremely proud to be doing so.

On Saturday, the 17th of November, 2007, we invite you to join us on a night that will be one of the final opportunities to witness Shiva's opulent and gloriously hedonistic parties at one of London's most celebrated venues.

To sign off with a bang, who better than Good Times legend NORMAN JAY MBE to be our guest of honour in the Funky House / Memory Lane room - spinning the most upfront house and his own unique blend of party anthems to get the mighty Canvas well-and-truly rocking....

Alongside Norman will be clubland's very own stalwart, Huckleberry Finn, who will be playing some of his own re-edits as well as some 'Girls FM' classics....

Shiva head honcho, Liam D, will also be going back to his funky roots and playing some of the forgotten anthems of the past few years....

In fact, all the DJs in that room including Nick Hudson, Muzz Khan and T-on-J will be looking to blow the dust off some their most prized vinyl from yesteryear and bring back some memories for clubbers who partied at Bagleys in their teens through to the current crop of Canvas's clubbing aficionados!

Headlining the ever-popular Dirty / Electro room will be Shiva Resident, John Paul & also Dean Steer - Liam D's partner-in-crime from their infamous summer boat parties on the Thames. Dean is also a producer of albums for some of the biggest record labels in the UK! Both DJs certainly have a flair of churning out the finest electro.

Add to the mix, Rob Alldritt, Jordan Brown, Errol Brown, David Penn and Kevin T & Lee Richards and you complete the line-up which will provide clubbers with the dirtier, filthier and sleazier sounds of electro!!

Keeping things plush, elegant and very intimate in the V.I.P. room will be Passion FM's Jubsy, Amy Taylor, Johnny Primed, Brady, Giro and Martin Benson.

It's also just been confirmed that the Shiva Panda, our official mascot, will be gracing the decks for his 15 minutes of fame - by having an exclusive set at the club.

History in the making? Probably. A sight to behold? Most definitely!

***There are also discounts available for large group bookings and if it's your birthday and you can prove it, we might just give you free entry!!***

So, join us on a night that will be all about celebrating but also commemorating....

A small part of the inspiration behind Shiva's name came from a house outfit of the same name. Their music had producers like David Morales, B.T., K-Klass, Loveland and Bini & Martini remixing for the likes of them. In 1995, the lead singer Louise Dean was tragically killed in a road accident.

Shiva would like to dedicate this event to the memory of Louise Dean.

Letting go is a difficult thing to do and to wave goodbye to the King's Cross clubbing complex will, no doubt, be an emotional experience. It's our final party here - so join us - on what will be an emotionally-charged journey through house and electro as we commemorate and celebrate the last chance to dance in the infamous Goods Yard.

Keep hope alive though, because in 2008, a new Shiva chapter is just around the corner....

Glad you like and appreciate the article, guys....

It promises to be an amazing night - there's so much going on.....

And, with this being a joint party with DSI Meet Ups - it looks set to be one of the biggest gatherings of clubbers in London for November.

Can't wait to see everyone from the four corners of England come down, up, left and right for this one!!!

That Memory Lane room's gonna be a real emotional rollercoaster.

Not least, for me. I think it's fair to say that I've been waiting 12 years for this!!!

It'll be a chance for me to play - and for you to hear - some of Louise Dean's music.

The woman had a real powerhouse voice and I'm sure the northerners in attendance will testify to that.

Loads of new faces are gonna be there and it'll be one almighty party.

:o)

A truly memorable end of an era....

I'm getting goosebumps already!!!

Please do add your buddies to this and spread the word.

Will definataly be coming to this one, Muzz. We can't believe it's all closing. I remember back when it was Bagleys, we had to many good times there... remember Freedom?

Sad news, but we'll make sure we have one hell of a night before the bastard developers arrive and turn the whole area into some gated community!

See ya soon,
