That was one year when they tried something new. They fucked up pretty badly. Then it went back to minehead. Then they ended it as they didn't make enough money. One of the co-owners made some stupid comments about punters too.

I want to go to this. My mate Dave is playing but asking for guest list these days is a bit off after everyone spent 18 months + earning no money.

That is a nice line up. Not keen on Tobacco Dock, but not been there for a long time.

Yes some people there I've never seen, Juan Atkins and Carl Craig for 2.
Also Kevin Saunderson is playing. Legend. Jon DaSilva plays some really nice acidy stuff when I've heard him on the radio.

Yeah looks like the clusterfuck was way back in 2012: Bloc Weekend 2012. I remember being very tempted by that one because they had the old ship there and then being very glad that I didn't go when I heard about it afterwards.
They managed to limp on for a few years after though it seems.

If health allows will be heading to this alldayer - daytime makes it all a bit more manageable right now - definitely will be an older crowd at this., hence 2pm to 10pm

just looking at Printworks events...they all finsih at 11pm! Tobacco Dock too...wtf is that about

They are day events aren't they? You can carry on afterwards. Think those venues only have day licence/see it as a nieche. Obviously they should carry on.
I'd like to get to fold at some point who do it the right way around.

To be honest I can see the advantage of an early finish time these days.
I'd quite like to see VTSS at Hopeworks in Sheffield but it starts at midnight...

WATCH OUT, GEORGE, HE'S GOT A SCREWDRIVER!
I remember it from its pre-Motion days as Sk8 & Ride, when it had a really fun, rough'n'ready vibe. I think one of the first music events there was a benefit for the Bristol affinity group's main action for J18, with Citizen Fish supported by a Japanese hardcore band. The ramps still had riders and skaters on them through the show. Late in the night the police turned up wanting to know 'who the organisers were'. I stuffed the group's cut down my pants and slipped out, before taking quiet back streets until holing up at Dings Park off Oxford Street to count out several hundred quid by moonlight. Think after that Avon & Somerset leaned pretty hard on the management which meant it was hard for them to put on events. Whenever I visited Motion after that it felt a bit too try-hard, bit too pricey, bit too glossy. They seemed to have city centre-style security measures on the door but I don't think I ever had any grief from security people.

Tickets bought. I'll probably hate the crowds, the queues, the wait for booze but by christ I'm going to give it a go.

I might be at Jungle Syndicate! I have a mate who loves it and they mentioned it to me. I'll let you know if I go.
I'm just starting a new job so going to lay low for a few weeks was tempted by the sofa sounds night at Trinity but not likely to be around.
Saw Helena Huff and Batu the other week but it was a bit disappointing.

D'oh! Me and Meduza were there, didn't spot you ... it's been a while! We had a good night. Thought the sound was amazing, bit too loud at the end/ at points. Thought Batu was good and enjoyed Helena. But preferred her set at the last Bangface.

Yeah I enjoyed Batu to warm up. Helena absolutely smashed it when I saw her previously. Slightly different approach this time around which is fair enough. Yes that Sini soundsystem is good.

Have a good one at Rupture, I'm sure it will be amazing. Should have my lad up to stay so can't make it.
Not sure if I'm coming to Jungle Syndicate or not yet...
