Well, what can I say??? What a brilliant night!!!!!! Rain was a perfect host to the UK Housonic Tour lauch night, due to its impressive size and sheer class that is evident throughout.

The night was pretty much full from the beginning, and was good to see that no one was shy of the dance floor. Being played through the decks was the latest in funky, vocal and dirty house music, courtsey of the Rain resdidents Oliver Willson & Jono Allen, and special guest Hugh Gunnell of Housonic.

In addition, it was the opening of the SKYBAR, which is an outside garden with up to 200 capacity. What with huge canopy's, plenty of outdoor heaters and the chic decor, again this was another success. Patrick Rollins complimented the evening by playing a variety of soulful house and funk, whilst being at one with nature!!!!!

If you missed this night, then you must have had a good excuse, but you wont want to miss the next Housonic Tour event which is being held on the 12th May. Keep your eyes peeled for the special DJ line up!!!

Last but not least, we have the famous Miss Moneypennys Tour at Rain Nightclub on the 28th April. THIS IS NOT TO BE MISSED!!!!!!!!!
