Just getting around to this - was wiped out yesterday after travelling back 
Anyway - had a really good night. Travelled up with me ol' mucka Dan (Domnal) - initial fears that the night could be wiped out by torrential rain (club is in a basement) were allayed. There was even an early Twilo moment in the set when the fire alarm went off and the sound cut out - Diggers had his headphones on and was checking out the mixer and 1000's thinking it was a technical problem
Legends is a strange club - a real late 80's throwback and I think the sound system dated back to the decor. Still the low ceiling was a plus as was reasonably priced beer (2 x Kronenburg 1664's for £5). Scott Bradford played a very credible warm up set (again a + point as some of the non-London warm ups have been poor this year).
Diggers (pic from Friday above) was scheduled to play at 1 a.m. ... but started 5 mins early (I don't suppose Sasha ever pops on here to take note !). 1st track was the deep house of Oleg Poliakov - House Of The Sun [Circus Company CCS036] ... it's on the last two Transitions and bloody good. I'm not the best of Trainspotters and the 1664's do dampen the memory a bit - there was one of the Marc Marzenit tracks + a remix of Emerald and the Maher Daniel remix of Rumblefish.
Never one to stand still it was all new music - a really enjoyable 3+ hrs (a better sound system would have taken it to another level) and the crowd absolutely loved it. The last hour in particular was really good with some killer tracks including a blinding progressive trance one (sorry John !) towards the end.
A very good NE crew out - great to bump into Andy Newland again (who was on photography duty for the clubbers ... some of his work's below) and also nice to bump into Hydrosonic who seemed to have a great night and will prob have a few more ID's + hopefully some vids for you.

On a side point we stopped of at Heston Blumenthal's Little Chef in York on the way back ... Michelin starred roadside food and great hangover cures. The Scottish Scampi, Burgers, Fries and Braised Ox Cheeks are all highly recommended
That's all .. you've had the pics, so now I can STFU !

Yes, those are my videos; sound's a touch distorted in quite a few of them, I'll concede, owing more to my camera than the soundsystem, which I thought was canny enough! But that could be down to one or a combination of the following reasons:
