Brilliant reminder of the Wolverhampton of old
Arrived late due to not leaving Shrewsbury till 11.30 but soon parked up on arrival to the old stomping ground and entered the infamous canal club after parting with my credit crunch friendly fiver entry fee.

Missed Phil Gardeners earlier years set which was a wounder but Ned Ryder was tucking into nasty classics just the way he used to, notable tune was the horns which got everyone excited on the floor.

Next up was the man like the Pilgrim with a 2 hour classics set and a set full of classics it was. Switching from belter to belter with enough family favourites to fill a quality streets tin. Quality tunes like 2 bad mice and got to keep the fire burning were the order of the day and everyone was raving right through with the seminal tones of Ranski and Scarlet on the mic.

I only made to quest a couple of times in its last period at the club merely a stonesthrow from the canal but thought the layout definitely reminded me of Quest with the wide room and centralised DJ box, loud dirty sound and minimal lighting.

There was plenty of old faces and original ravers knockin about with plenty of youngsters trying to find out why the original hardcore sound refuses to die.

In summary this was a really succesfull revisit to the old days with a packed venue havin some fun, old skool style. My only gripe would be Ranskis insistence on reloading to many tunes (without asking the dj i might add) and turning the mic up far to loud, to many free drinks maybe. He did a good job of hyping the crowd though and ill never forget how he used to look after the Shrewsbury crew at Pandemonium down the road. Also maybe a differnet mixer wouldnt go a miss, every dj seemed to struggle with it!

See you at the next one, the BUZZ is back!

Indeed it was a wicked night.
Great to see some familiar faces back out on the scene.
My only problem of the night is i had to leave around 2am so missed the second half of pilgrims set which was fuckin awesome.
Roll on the next one. Big ups to Skitty as well
