I went to this last night, it was held at the ski village.
Artists were Plaid (Live), Richard Devine (Live), Chris
Clark (Live?) and Luke Vibert DJ'ing.

I was on the guest list and it turned out if you were on it
you didn't need tickets, so I went out later I sold mine
(quite cheaply, everyone had tickets!) to some student.
ANYWAY, its a good thing I bought em cos my friend wasn't on
the guest list like he was supposed to be, but no problem.

After getting a drink we went out to look around the place
and there were the marquee's for the hip hop and DnB arena,
but we couldn't find warp! We eventually found it and it was
kinda shoved into a corner room next to the bar (so kinda
handy =))

First playing were Warp DJ's, I was told who they were but
can't remember. Not bad, didn't play much a I recognised, I
think they played one aphex track...

At the warp merchandise stall I saw and talked to Richard
Devine. I thought I recognised him (then saw he had a tag
saying his name on!) and he's a really nice bloke, we talked
about groups and gear and stuff and he seemed pretty
genuine.

Next was Plaid. I didn't recognise a single track of theirs,
I was hoping for the slightly mellower stuff like BOOC but
it was pretty heavy but enjoyable none the less. I dunno
where the videos were they were talking about though.

Then Richard came on and he played an amazing live set,
really heavy and fast...it was all far more danceable than
what I was expecting...I haden't really heard much of his
stuff so couldn't name anything, but i'm going to get some
more!

Then Luke Vibert, this guy musta snuck on cos I wasn't sure
whether it was him, until in true Vibert style he mixed in
the 'This Morning' theme tune, I didn't realise it had so
much bass! It was a good set and he also put in the Grange
Hill theme....

The annoying thing was that they had a row of tv screens at
headheight so you could see the performer, only their faces
came up every so often from a little camera, it woulda been
nicer to see more

I left at about 1.30 cos my mate steve was tired (I woulda
stayed longer..). I bought a tour cd for which I think I was
severely undercharged but I was drunk so I don't know.

I took quite a few photo's and got a good one of Rich but it
was hard to get the other artists cos of the tv's, i'll scan
them once developed.

Lastly, a big big thankyou to Jivver and sorry I didn't see
you!
