[mwgdrwg]

People were arriving late in Liverpool (past ten) so we couldn't make it. Ended up in the students union feeling old! The Fall were awesome on Saturday tho'

If any of the Liverpool posse are about this coming Friday, it'd be nice to see you at

Not sure if the Liverpool Urbanites meet up ever happened - so here is another chance at the little music evening that I DJ at. It's on Friday 2nd December at the Cali on Catharine Street and is called "It's Not Bangin'!". We play all-sorts really, my partner in crime Stuart drops all things dub and reggae-tastic, while i play soul, funk and disco towards the end of the evening. And the best thing about it, is that it's free. Hopefully see some of you there.

Quick edit to say the Cali now has a late licence and the music will go on until about 3am

 

[disco_dave_2000]

hmm, i'm up in liverpool on friday, so might pop in

 

[han]

Didn't know you've moved to Liverpool Disco Dave!

How long you been there for?

My other 'arf is a Liverpool lass. Love the place.

 

[disco_dave_2000]

Hi Han

I've been up here about 18 months - had had enough of London life, the traffic, the commmute, the cost and this coincided with a desire to start my own business. Chose Liverpool as I've been visiting the city for about 12 years, and have family here and parents quite close.

Really glad I made the move, my business is doing well and personally I'm a couple of years down the road of a career change to becoming a photographer - a bit of a slow process but starting to get there. But it is true what they say, people are much more friendly up here, it's cheaper than the capital to do most things and a better quality of life i think.

Also they have some crazy pubs that let me and my mates play tunes all night in, which is a bonus ! Drop me a message next time you are up here as it'd be nice to meet for a drink.

Dave

[disco_dave_2000]

unfortunately just heard from the Cali - it's closing down this weekend - so Friday will be the last It's Not Bangin there ! Which is a shame, but we intend to have a storming evening and have some guest DJs coming down to help us go out in style, so it should be rammed

 

[Strawman]

The cali's shutting down??!

Id heard the landlord had a bad year but thats really awful news, great little pub is the cali.

 

[disco_dave_2000]

massive rent increases have forced the manager / landlord out

no doubt to be replaced by more "luxury" flats !

 

[Mr T]

that sucks - the blackburne arms has just shut too might try and make it tonight for a bit

 

[disco_dave_2000]

that sucks - the blackburne arms has just shut too might try and make it tonight for a bit

apparently that's going to be some posh gastro-pub with a dining room and some B&B style bedrooms

 

[stereotypical]

Yet more real culture being replaced by bollocks 'culture'

 

[Strawman]

Did anyone go to the cali on saturday? I made it in about half midnight and it was a great night - cant remember leaving tho

i was supposed to be there taking some photos to record the last night, but managed to get too spangled the previous evening to attend - i think every DJ was planning to turn up for a slot, so should've been busy

 

[ewok]

sorry have only just seen this thread are there many Liverpool urbanites?

 

[stereotypical]

Yeah there's a fair few of us here like
