World Dance - Lydd 08/08/92 - Review

Lydd Airport, 8th August 1992

It's funny how even the little things that aren't included at most raves can make a difference, for example a tea tent with (wait for it) tables, chairs and even bins.  There were cornflakes for breakfast and definitely a service with a smile.   Well impressed!

Moving on to the garage marquee which was situated opposite the main hanger, old house was being dropped at the beginning of the night (and believe us when we say they played some tunes), progressing onto the more garage side of things as the evening wore on and yes we did see some face we recognised in there who we thought were hardcore only. 

The fairground rides between the marquee and hanger were sadly shut down due to health and safety rules but it's better it be safe than sorry.

The hanger itself where all the main events took place was superb and to save any collisions, it had an entrance and exit point guided by security who were few and far between anywhere else on site, which was a shame because although we don't like to be searched heavily etc, they are there for our safety.  The production was to an excellent standard, cost was obviously not an issue, although the sound could have been a lot louder.  The stage was set well with video screens either side, arranged by Delta Video.

PA's throughout the night were Bugg Kan & The Plastic Jam, New Class A,  N-Joi and Shades of Rhythm.  SOR certainly put on a show but we have to say that N-Joi stole it.  They've stuck to their roots and have kept to techno and are still a top class act,  (so promoters take not).  Anyway boys nice to see you again, at last, and yes we were at the front yelling our heads of...PHWOAR.

DJ's did not follow the same example, none of them seemed to be on top form and the best set we heard all night goes to Mickey Finn.  All in all the standard of organisation was excellent, World Dance are fully aware of the teething problems, so we expect that if the next one on October 3rd goes off, it will be event better.  Diaries clear.
