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

Journey Dj's - showing the love

Its not the destination its the Journey

Preview – 8th April – Journey at Lulu – Edinburgh Nightclub – Wednesdays

What can I say about this weeks Journey,

Well for the second performance from the guys this week, they will be joined by The Vinyl Club DJ’s – all looking to cut up a storm and make your Wednesday feel like the weekend.

Andy P passed me his comments earlier:

“For the 5th instalment of Wednesdays new hedonistic club night at Lulu your usual residents andyproblems, dj Darkside and darrell Harding are joined for the evening by Leith fm‘s Vinyl Club dj’s Gerry Mawhinney and James Carroll. ( Check ’em out on Fridays at 9pm on 98.8fm or log onto Leith fm‘s webpage ) As well as our usual drinks deals we’re serving up everything from deep and funky club house to tech and electro. Come join the party from 10-3am. I will see you on the dancefloor……..Andy Problems”

Again all the usual drink promotions are running, so it’s not only a great night with cool beats but like the budgie “its cheap” too!

Hi guys,

Crazy Pete here again, well last weeks night was, by all accounts, a roaring success. I had to leave early but numbers were looking really good early on and continued throughout the night.

Got to say that DJ Darkside’s set was again inventive….do we have another Soulwax on our hands?, he was dropping killer beats with familliar tunes; Jamiroquai was a particular highlight for me and unexpected too…NICE.

Problems was, as he always is, smooth unflustered & seamless.

Darrell Harding is just getting better and better week on week (no pressure for tonight mate!!), confident to wave and smile at me whilst I pushed a camera in his face & never dropped a beat, cool bruv…very cool.

Thanks again to everyone that are supporting Journey we can’t do this without you. Special mention to Dean (Deano) Jennings for his awsome PR-ing last week, well appreciated by all.

It’s great to see that the change in PR tactics paid dividends.

I’ve got some cool video clips of the guys in action which I will ensure gets posted up soon…watch this space.

However if you’re in any doubt over what to do tonight let me leave this post with words from one of our resident DJ’s; The Legend that is Darrell Harding

“Hello People, Wednesday night is upon us again, and you know what that means, Journey at Lulu. No this is not an april fool, we are back at you playing some of the best Tech House and Electro around.

Take advantage of the cheap drinks promos – remember it’s £2 a double vodka & mixer, £2 a Henieken and the deadly £1.50 shots of black and white sambuca and the old favourite Tequila. If thats not enough to swing youu – how about a cheeky £2.50 jaigerbomb?

It’s £2 entry before 11pm with a flyer, £3 from 11 til 12 and £4 thereafter.

So if your excuse is that you are working Thursday morning….invite your boss to join us too!!!

Hope to see you all there …. and don’t forget – It’s not the destination….IT’S THE JOURNEY!!!!!”

Loving that tag line, see y’all tonight
