Travelled all the way to London at the weekend with the hope of seeing BT's UK return at Turnmills (The Gallery).
While I had reservations (i.e. his music has taken a turn for the worse over the past few years ... and the last [ms] report said that he turned up in a white suite, spilt champagne over the mixer and had to re-start his set after his laptop crashed) ... but I'd gone as a trade off with my brother for Sasha at Fabric next month.
Anyway we arrived at Turnmills only to find that he'd cancelled at 9.00 pm. (the old "unforeseen circumstances" excuses trotted out by many). Having already taken the day off work, travelled 4-hours and shelled out ?100+ each for trains, hotels, taxi's, food & booze - I was mighty pissed off.
Still, at least Nick Warren was on (first 2-hours good - second 2 hours very hit & miss).
While it won't stop me travelling, it does leave a very bad taste and the lame excuses are becoming tiresome. These people get paid a bloody good fee and only have to turn up to a couple of clubs a week on average.
Anyway, I'll be returning to see Hernan at Turnmills on 8th May (at least he's based in the London for part of the year and is a true dedicated pro) - plus Paul Oakenfold is on too (you can say what you like about the Joke-meister, his silly haircut and contract riders - at least the guy always turns up).
... I just hope Sasha's finished Involver 2 by May 21st.
