Ok, its a long one but please have a read....

Mat and I just wanted to say an enormous thank you to everyone who came to the Tony De Vit memorial night we hosted last night, having read the comments so far across so many different forums we've been blown away.

The lead up to this event has been an incredible one. I never knew Tony, I never heard him play but there is not one person I know in the scene that he hasn't touched in one way or another, we've all stomped to his tracks and he has been an inspiration to many people to become DJs and producers, and there was one person that this event meant more to than most other people - Mat, the other half of Glow Ball. Some of you may have read his comments in the review but if you haven’t please take the time to read them (linky).

Whilst I never knew Tony over the last few months I feel like I have got to know him and really wish I had been able to meet him, through spending time with his family and friends so that we could lay on the most fitting tribute and celebration we could. There were so many people that we would like to have seen feature at the night but decided to invite those he was friend to and often would play alongside through to those he inspired to become DJs and the nu-breed that would carry his music forward for years to come.

Last night was all in aid of charities chosen by Ray De Vit and ourselves and thank you all for raising a substantial amount for them, we're still adding up the total amount but we anticipate it to be a good few thousand pounds!!! So a massive thank you to you!

Thank you firstly and foremost to Ray De Vit for giving us the honour to host this very special event and let London say its official farewell to Tony, you hopefully all would have seen Ray on the night who travelled a long way to celebrate his sons life with us all and is one of the most inspirational, caring, funny and just completely lovable person I have ever met - Ray, if you read this - you haven't seen the last of us and get the adoption papers sorted - you have a new grand daughter!!

Thank you also to all the DJs who played at the night and for playing for a lot less than what you would normally, every single one of you played your socks off and had the place jumping all night long.

Thank you to the performers who donated their fee's completely to the night, the Sugah Dee Team looked amazing all night as always and your help and support is always more than we could ever imagine. Thank you also to the poi spinners from mind spin and Nemo for face painting.

Thank you also to Mass for allowing us back again - Lisa, Barry, Mick - all of you are a pleasure to work with and we are looking forward to the next time, thank you also to Club Tec, Stinky Fish (the people behind the glow stall) and the live VJ team that provided the visuals.

Thank you to Cyber Dog for letting us cause havoc in the store on the day of the event and continuing to support us on this cyber adventure and a massive thank you to Adjamiba Club Wear who supplied the fluffies we were giving away through out the night, made my outfit and all the Sugah Dee's outfits.

Thank you to all the other club promotions that have helped us in raising awareness of the night too: Summit, Vinyl Destination, RainDance, Hard Dance Awards and Freeformation in particular who you would have received an email from. They all have parties coming up soon so please take a moment to have a look at what they have in store and if you need to get some new tunes then please check out trackitdown.net who have also supported us.

Thank you also to Rowan and his team for capturing the night on film for us and we will be letting you know how to get your copies very soon if you didnt pre-order them on the night!

And a big thank you to some very special people that have been there for us since we got in to all this and we wouldn't be able to do it without you and love you guys to pieces; Pat, Warren, Nina, Jo, Stevie, Tasha, Aaron, Cat, Sam, Gordy and Craig xxx

And on a personal note - thanks Mat - its always a rollercoaster but one I know I couldn't do without you

xxxx

P.S. We are just finalising the details of our next two events which will feature all the decor and treats and more than you would have seen last night and at our previous parties so please join the group and invite your buddies.

As always, Glow Ball parties are about you the people who come to them so if there is something you would like to see or think we should do then please let us know via dsi or our website www.glowballmusic.com

does anyone know about the video they were filming at Glow Ball?
Would love to get a look at that. It'd be a great souvenir from a great night out.

The DVD is still being edited but we are hoping to have it by the weekend and will be posting up how you can get it in here very soon

Nice one! Hope the camera didnt catch me looking like a twat... shit, that could be the whole night :P

Same here! LOL I'll be in the same boat Neil, so we'll both look like twats together! LOL

Congratulations to Mat & Kris for yet another very successful night...u guys keep going from strength to strength... from Night shift to Glow Ball... yr events just keep getting better and better every time. Me and Stevie had a wicked time giving out the glow stick braclets and necklaces to everyone during the night....free gifts from Glow Ball, of course ! .. and to see the smiles on everyones face when we handed them a ' goodie bag' to take home at the end of the night , was priceless! We just want to thank you both for letting us be a part of it right from the beginning.
