The greatest contribution in recent years to nightlife in the city of Norwich has been the rooftop terrace at Havana, the venue we're holding our next GET LOW event.
Two great memories:
Over the Summer when the radi8 gang were playing minimal techno up to 6am in the morning. Don't bother going to Ibiza to dance while the sun rises, just head to Norwich.
At the Garden Rave after party, the sheer demand meant it was a pretty exclusive event with The Lick on the decks with his ridiculous vinyl collection. Whilst the queue outside was round the block, we strolled in to find a sea of smiles on the dancefloor, people dancing on the seats and deafening cheers as one classic track after another were inflicted on the crowd. It was like a Barcadi advert.
And then the Council took all the music away.
I'm not at liberty to say what caused it all, but it wasn't to do with noise pollution, trouble or complaints. The Police are fine with the rooftop parties. What I can say is that it really does come down to just one dude (and his spurious reasons).
Let me hand it over to Havana to speak:
"anthonyshearman@norwich.gov.uk
Email this guy and tell him you want it back.
Basically this man alone is holding up the rooftop party.
Norwich 'City of Culture' does not like music outside. Kids are loud, noisy, drunken, annoying, non voting, non mattering, council tax paying yet non important members of the City. Basically, you don't matter.
So lets matter."
