We’re going to head to Bat & Ball Covent Garden for pre-drinks tonight now as apparently The Crown is absolutely rammed with it being so tiny and the footy being on.
What events/gigs have you bought tickets for?
vinnyt77 keep in touch mate!
Well?
Whatever happened I’d say everyone was in Great Form☆
Presto headed down for it from home in Tamworth, and has somehow ended up in Brighton…
Great great night. Firstly, the music was out of sight. The first couple of hours were full of tough classic bedrock style bangers. Driving kick drums. All brilliant new stuff. Consistently saying to myself “wow, that’s fucking good” …………and they just suited the whole vibe. Never heard of any of them. I was fucked and at about 2 kept saying to myself when he plays a shit one I’ll go but he just kept pulling them out of bag. Much Bigger crowd this year. Usual friendly bunch. Always surprised at the diverse age range -lots there in their 20s and 30s really into this music. The energy levels in the room were really good. Had a great drink with Ed and Wasily and we bumped into Nick M who is well up for the special event next month! So much better than last year and can’t wait for Scotty’s reflections on those new tunes.
LT42 agreed!
baggers44 totally agree with you! It was a million times better than last year and I’d go as far as saying it was my favourite Diggers gig ever in a venue that size. Obvs not as good as his set at Sub Club a couple of months ago but he managed to get the atmosphere where it needed to be in that big space this year. Like you said, it was just banger after banger right till the very end! He didn’t drop the ball once. Insanely good sound and such a lovely crowd! So glad I didn’t sack it off and made the effort to go after the disappointment of last year! Memories were definitely made in the best way this time around.
Either not many went off here or they are still going at the afters….I’m guessing it’s the latter!
Great night last night. John was on form and the place was packed (in a good way). As per the norm’ I didn’t recognise many tunes, so I imagine they’ll all be coming out on Futuro 2 later in the year 
Great to catch up with @Wasily @Smallman1 @baggers44 again, and got a brief chat in with Nick Muir about Stage One too.
Until next year…
Top night last night, Baggers, Scott, Was and Nick Muir all on great form.

ScottBailey definitely planning to go again next year!
The Netherworld remix Diggers dropped last night was definitely one of my fave moments. Blew my mind, it was so good, and great to see the crowd respond in kind.
Definitely remember hearing new Rolasoul and Cortona too that sounded monsterous
Few clips I took of last night

Brief clip of it on my last video above
ScottBailey these are fab, thank you for sharing. A lovely souvenir of a really special event. This year I was dancing the whole time at ground level towards the front so it’s interesting to see what it looked like from the balcony bit. Definitely looks and sounds a hell of a lot better from up there than it did last year!
ScottBailey awesome, cheers! Appreciate it.

CindyLouWho I still think the sound was a bit shit tbh, but the best place I found was at the front of the VIP balcony right in front of where the main speaker stack was flown about JD. Perfect angle for where I was stood, and the bass was so much better than down on the dancefloor, where I did go and have a brief boogie too
