Journey Musings from Crazy Pete

I’ve been musing a lot about Journey recently, we have overcome the first hurdle of getting the night up and running.

We have a plan in place for PR and online, which are both beginning to pay off, so what’s next? where do we go from here?

I think one of our big selling points is location vs drinks prices, where else on George street can you have such a great night (at a cool location) without it breaking the bank?

Shout it from the rooftops, bore all your friends, nag your work colleagues – get to Journey on Wednesdays at Lulu

Its not the destination its the Journey

Journey at Lulu – 1st Night – Edinburgh – George Street

It was a cold miserable night on George Street the 11th of March 2009.

I braved the howling gale and driving rain to get along to Lulu for the soft launch of Journey.

Journey is the brain child of three upcoming DJ’s named; Andy Problems, DJ Darkside and Darrell Harding.

I met the guys at the door and it was clear that the nerves had begun to set it, lets face it it aint ideal to have shit weather the night of your launch! Numbers seemed few and far between.

Darkside opened the night with a stylishly understated, uplifting and funky set, looking around you could see nodding heads and appreciative smiles.

Checking the bar the numbers were improving and those that came in were staying……RESULT!

Problems then took over the reigns with seamless ease, I’ve known Andy for a long time and I don’t think he realises just how good he actually is.

Problems carried on the vibe but stepped it up a bit, drawing the nodding heads to the multi coloured dance floor, the place was beginning to buzz.

More and more folk were showing up and it was smiles all around when our third DJ took his place.

Taking over the decks like a pro, Darrell Harding, kept the up beat funky house tunes spinning, the girls kept on dancing and the place kept on filling.
