After that ... err ... anyone got a spare venue?
Bugger!

I'm thinking about heading down there tonight since it's the last one.
Who else is coming?

Felt the same, that's why I came along, and I had an unadulteratedly FANTASTIC time throughout
that was a storming night. most of the people you'd want to see there were there, Dammers was on cracking form, i got totally fucked up. So all in order then

Thought I'd nick in with a quick question -
I seem to remember that Discharge played at the Redstar a while back. Since then, it seems to be housey-mousey/dance music? Is this the case? Is Redstar primarily a dance venue?
I'm hiding a selfish agenda - Redstar is on the bus route from my place, so it'd be great if there was a venue in sarf lundin which put on non-DJ/decks stuff.

Different promoters used it for different nights - i've seen punk, ska, reggae, bands etc. But primarily it's on the jungle / hip hop / techno end of things..

Righty-oh. So it isn't that the venue itself won't put on punk/garage/guitar stuff? It's down to someone promoting a night or band and guaranteeing the venue a certain £$£$?

I have a cunning plan...
but it's gone - that's the point

Sorry, Dub. I've missed something. May I blame the drugs and hozza stuff for my obvious fuckwittery?
The venue has closed?
Unsound were running the Redstar, which was under lease to the same people who run Jamm, the White Lion and Dirty South.
the owners are probably selling the lease, but either way Unsound are off - lots of council pressures etc made the venue untenable and they want to concentrate on the Italian trip.
Unsound promoted some of the nights themselved but also got other promoters in to work with them putting on nights. It's unlikely that now Unsound are off that the venue will remain open - the leaseholders are unlikely to get a new PA in (that's all Unsounds) and get new promoters if they're going to let it go anyway.

Thanks Dub. I'm usually a bit sharper. Lol. Must have missed the meat of the thread during sicknote period.

I went along to what was my first and last ever Unsound at the RedStar. I'm really annoyed that it took me a year and a half of living in London before I finally managed to make it along. What a fucking wicked night! Although, the cherry on the cake was meeting Dub. What a man!
