Hooky on top form at Dirty South tonight!! — Forum Archive

16 Jun 2006, 19:18

Just got back, got to say it was fantastic. Haven't seen him dj for quite some time, but he seems much more polished with practice! Such a nice bloke, immediately came over to say hello and gave me a hug and a kiss.

Had the crowd roused at every opportunity. Played great selection of tracks, last half was mainly New Order/Joy Division/Monaco remixes, but no complaints there! Amusing point when a bloke was doing 'air bass' along to Crystal, he went over and tried to push his legs wider apart!

The decks were less than satisfactory and kept cutting out!

Hooky may be grateful he didn't turn up earlier, one of the bands did a rather unpleasant cover of Atmosphere. That song should just be left alone and not tampered with in such a way.

Good turn out - Missy Gem, Bonzette, Nick King, Al, Mark, Wolfram, Dave Legge, Adam, Greg, Jim Riley.

Loads of pics were taken so I'm sure some will appear soon.

Nice hair cut Hooky!

Just thought I'd put in an appearance before I fall into bed! A fantastic night was had including a lot of great banter. Highlight of the night for me was Hooky saying "My, how you've grown" in response to my Monaco web site antics from 2000, top bloke

Missy Jem has some fantastic photos of the night :D we'll hopefully be seeing them soon.

Twas very cool having a beer with Nick, Al, Ness, Missy Jem, Dave, Adam, JG, Bonzette and anyone else I've forgotten as I'm completely fooked right now, everyone made a superb effort :)

ZZzzzzzzzzZzzz....

16 Jun 2006, 20:18

Well, sounds like a great night by all. She'd undoubedtly love your Spurs sentiment, as well as your spelling ability in such a drunken state. Without any edits either. :lol:

16 Jun 2006, 20:22

What a bunch of fuckers.

As if i'd ever post that!

Missy Jem and Dave Legge posted in my absence.

Bastards!

Top night, actually was fucking brilliant.

Mainly New Order tunes! Went off mental.

Only thing missing was Barney Army. :love2:

Gatecrashed backstage, and met Hooky.

Got photo's but don't know how to post them.

Watch this space.

Met some brilliant people tonight. Big up everyone, we tore the house down! :nod:

16 Jun 2006, 20:26

16 Jun 2006, 22:01

:bow: hiya missy! can't wait for these rumoured pictures! :clap:

17 Jun 2006, 00:41

Glad ye's all had a cracking time. One of these days we're going to sort money out to get Hooky to play Corby ;)

And to Mr Dave Legge :wtf: were you thinking phoning me at 2 in the morning ya drunken bugger? I am glad I was fast asleep

17 Jun 2006, 01:26

Hooky may be grateful he didn't turn up earlier, one of the bands did a rather unpleasant cover of Atmosphere. That song should just be left alone and not tampered with in such a way.

Particularly by New Order :evil4:

17 Jun 2006, 01:29

Forgot to ask him what he's doing November 1st?! :skeptic:

Top night had by all.

Shout out to all the usual faces. How far Sarf was that though?! I had a nosebleed!

Just call me David Bailey from now on, folks. I'm a whizz with a camera-phone!

17 Jun 2006, 03:58

Just got to Ems. Apparently I DID ask Hooky what he was doing on November 1st but never got an answer!

Jack, your Dad's got Los Vikingos badges for you! Make sure he don't stick 'em on ebay!

Al Jarvis in Barnet.

17 Jun 2006, 04:43

Cheers for the badges Al

What's November 1st though...? :confused2:

Rumour about a gig, I think. But I don't know any more.

17 Jun 2006, 06:45

Lucky bastards! Just got an MMS of Hooky on my phone sent to me by Jem.Glad you had a top night. Come on,let's see some photies!

17 Jun 2006, 09:42

Great night, even though I woke up this morning with a lousy Stella-induced hangover! :smoking:

Best bit of the night for me was shouting "COME ON!" during "Love Will Tear Us Apart", and Hooky pointing at me and grinning! :laugh:

Good to meet up with you all again - we must do it again in August (when he'll be turning up at the same pub again)!

See most of you in Liverpool!

17 Jun 2006, 11:51

Not a chuffin' clue who he is

And again...

Lovely watch Jem

Jesus, give us a break mate

London Order! (Well some of us)

17 Jun 2006, 12:11

...anyone's ears still buzzing?!!

17 Jun 2006, 12:18

No way!!

Yeah, me, Bonz, Al and Dave are still on it, we've all been complaining that we can't hear properly. I'm loud anyway but we've all been screaming at each other to be heard.

Al Jarvo has been for his first tattoo "THE VIKINGS", he was white going for it cos he's scared of needles but in the end he didn't cry.

Picture to follow!

17 Jun 2006, 12:25

I wanna know who's postin the pics :evil4:

Someone must be designated thinker surely? Please GOD not MJ :D

Gone today thankfully.

Thanks for the putting up pics Bonz and Jem

Joint effort

Some cracking photies. Could anyone look happier getting their picture taken with Hooky than Jim Reilly Jim Reilly?

I'd just like to say that pub looks a right dive! I would love to make the next one in the same venue - we'll get Liverpool and Espana out the way first though and see how much of a bad mood me bank manager is in :uhoh:

:clap: :bow: :clap: To Al "it didn't hurt a bit" Jarvis. If I take 8 grammes and sink a few lagers after work next Friday there may be another Viking Casualty.......remember to grab Wilson on Monday :viking:

17 Jun 2006, 13:12

I'm emerald with envy!

Lewisham is a dive full stop!

:laugh:

17 Jun 2006, 13:49

He's back there, July 29th.

I don't need to collar him now. You think I'm going through THAT again! Ouch.

EDIT: This is Al, but then that's obvious.

Funnily enough Dave Legge said Fuck When's Terry Hall on?

Not"Oh Hooky's looking good"

18 Jun 2006, 04:21

Well, just recovered from a fantastic night! Ears are still ringing. Greta to see Al Jarvis, Johnny Giles,Ness, Greg, Nick, Adam, Rich, Wolfram and meeting Missy Gem and Bonzette for the first time. What makes NOOL for me are the people. What a bloody lovely bunch!

I have sent some pics to Shugzy at his request to upload as technically I am a chimp.

Met the great man himself who looked like he also had a fantastic time, dancing and laughing (mainly at our bad dancing). As it wasn't packed, we had the monoply of the front of house and it just was great fun. A real cracking night

Still on a high now :bag:

18 Jun 2006, 04:51

And thanks for taking the pics, Doggy. Some real good ones there! :nod:

Weekend officially over now. Just dropped Jem and Dave at High Barnet station- Al walked there at 7ish this morning (we think)- to start their long journey home.:\ohwell:

Place looks like a bomb has hit it, but could not have wished for better housemates this weekend. Going to be quiet without Missy, Al and Dave about the place.

Quality! :bow:

Until next time folks!

We think he walked it?! I defo walked it, didn't skip or anything! :eek3:

Jem's snoring was doing me head in, had to get out! :nod:

And I doubt you're place is ever likely to be quiet with Joe in da house!

And I still can't get that fcuking ink off me leg. Oh well. Wire wool next.

Cheers for a quality weekender.

18 Jun 2006, 07:36

Fucking great night. I`ve not jumped around like that for ages. And yes my ears are still buzzing, but that might have something to do with Motorhead and Queens of the Stone Age yesterday. July 29th then?

18 Jun 2006, 08:08

Ears are still buzzing now - might have been a combination of foolishly sticking my head in the speakers at Hooky's DJ set, and also seeing some other band last night (Cosmic Rough Riders) at my local pub... :spit:

Yup, July 29th is tentatively put into my diary - hopefully I'll have recovered from Liverpool/Madrid/Barca by then! :laugh:

18 Jun 2006, 11:22

TOP PHOTIES FOLKS! :clap:

Just got home :crazy:

Thanks for a great weekend boys and girls.

I'm off to bed :sleep:

19 Jun 2006, 11:45

You remind me of my Dirty Niece.

19 Jun 2006, 12:18

Who? Me or Bonz?

19 Jun 2006, 13:09

It could be you

19 Jun 2006, 14:55

Great pics Missy and Bonz!!!

Made it Toronto in one piece, if completely knackered.

See you both soon, (and everyone else of course)

xx

22 Jun 2006, 04:23

It were me that got me legs pushed apart! Thought I were more flexible than that. That was our version of Atmosphere which we love! Can we use your comments on our website as we like a balanced view! Hope you enjoyed other parts of the set. Great night. All the best.

Fuckin 'ell... Just realised where the Dirty South is. Been bugging me for a while, but I drive past it four times a week. Only four miles from moi. Count me in the next one. I'll bring the Trans-Am.
