Happy New Year (again!)
Last night was just a perfect night. Over 100 revellers at the Seattle Hotel at Brighton Marina were entertained by DISCOfever who helped start 2009 with a great party!
The night was absolutely faultless, the dancefloor was packed and there were lots of happy faces! We had other DJ’s out last night as well and it appears that not all the parties were as well attended as the one I did. One DJ reported just 18 at his, another had 25 or so. Maybe the overhyped attention to the “credit crunch” by the media has kept people away from celebrating this time around?
Mind you, think of those who live in Arab Emirates. Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum – Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai issued an order effectively banning all New Year celebrations in Dubai. The decision was hugely political and was in support of the Palestinians in Gaza who continue to be displaced by the Israeli Army. We have a few friends out there DJ’ing. One was under strict instructions by the Police that he was not to be seen “performing” – therefore he was allowed to change CD’s and then sit down. Another had his party raided by the Police and shut down because people were having too good a time.
The year ahead looks very interesting! The first few months of 2009 are a little bit quiet but the summer is almost packed out. If you haven’t booked yet…get in quick and take advantage of our early bird offers!
