South West Crew- Where are you?

I’m in Swansea but have been coming over the bridge for parties your way for years. You lot do it better, my mates are far too sensible these days. Last one was a real nice small thing in Warminster. Always a bit more exciting having to put the effort in to travel too

Cornwall here… via Mcr and Lodnod

I grew up in Torquay and left in the late 80s to Los Angeles (now living Berlin)

i can assure you Torbay has changed a lot over the last 30 years, and certainly not for the better.

Bournemouth/Christchurch I reside in myself. Ha! I know Chris, Mick and miche. Small world

It is we are all connected. And it’s too long since we got messy in Camden or Postcards or somewhere. :frowning:

Warminster!?? Tell me more :blush:

Bristol in the house over here. Used to run a little record shop back in the day, partied at at the usual Bristol places, Lakota, Thekla (Fruity Antics etc). Through lockdown been doing a bit on Mixlr for Disco Dinner FM with Mike Shawe, Jimmy Twin, Barry Guffy & Paulo Fulci.

Bournemouth massive are pals too - We had a guest mix on DD from Chris Wheatley - top bloke -and pre lockdown Miche came down to do Hot Buttered Soul. Probably the last party I went to - was a banger :pray:t2:

I’ll stick a link up to the Mixlr channel at some point

Heh. Good to see you. Its funny if I get the rare chance to be out in Bristol that’s a proper night out. In the City that cares nothing about other British Cities. When you’ve produced Smith and Mighty, Massive Attack and more why care indeed

Looking forward to heading down to Plymouth again, had a few good nights out at hanging gardens. Need to check out jacks cafe!!

It’s certainly got a strong sense of its own identity, having said that I grew up in Manchester and moved here in ‘96 so by that standard Bristol is positively humble :joy:

I grew up in Taunton and ran the Hijacker nights in town from 2000-02 before moving to Manchester. Great nights and many had in Bristol too.

Get on! Any thoughts on moving back to the southwest? Maybe not Taunton tho… I lived just outside Bridgewater for abit, not the nicest of towns. The Quantocks and the North Somerset coast are lovely tho

Yeah I couldn’t wait to get out of Taunton, as soon as I could I was out of there. Not a nice place, ultimately. Moved to London in 2010 after nearly a decade in Manchester. Moved backed to Manchester in 2017 and no regrets! (Perhaps this should be entered on the other thread!)

Shebs?

I’m near Frome.
SW crew should do a party when the war’s over.
