the new times were a bit inconvenient for me even living in London due to the fact no Underground starts for a while and buses are more sparse from 6-7. Luckily I've found the best place to hang out: Balans on Old Compton Street. Open all night and serve brilliant food and frozen cappuccinos! If that isn't a great post-nighter chill out place, i don't know what is!
I actually had a great time last time, thought the floor was pretty decent and much better than I remembered. Also think the addition of Joel is a fantastic choice as he has a fantastic ear for good new obscurities and underplayed oldies.
I could use a little more 70s though, but I know most people aren't fans of that.
I do agree though that bi-monthly is better, but to be honest I don't really think there is much competition from other clubs in London. I live here and spend most of my time going up north as 100 club is the only nighter in London to play rarities and biggies (love va va voom, but I'm talking about all-nighters). When I go to a nighter I don't particularly want to hear records I own at home and that's why I've always gone to 100 club in London and what sets it apart. Having a good guest selection of people like tony smith, marco santucci, steve cato, etc and other people who focus more on newies and obscurities would give the club a bit more of an 'edge' to counter the sounds of mick smith and others.
anyways, to be honest i don't even really need to say any of this cause i think the club is perfect as it is. All that is needed is good music and friendly faces which are always present
