I have a lot of respect for JFK, Garbo and Genix, I had a lot of respect for Mark and Eric but I do not honestly beleive that under the current regime (owners) and due to the credit crunch Passion will always now be known as a has been.

Once a month
Sub Standard Line Ups
to be frank the list is endless

the promotion powers and techniques employed by JFK are second to none and are respected through clubland, that said is he essentially flogging a dead horse.

Mark and Eric made a wise move by selling and left richer men, the pikeys that took over, to be frank saw a cash cow and got a white elephant.

If this was a PLC I would be shouting to sack the board as it is not i only have one suggestion... CLOSE THE CLUB, DUMP THE BRAND AND GO OUT ON A REASONABLE LOW !!

Storm on the other hand... new venue... would be amazing!

Discuss..

Amen to that!!

Worship a headline dj? What are you going on about. I'm not even going to bother attending, big names are big because of their ability. I've no doubt that DJ's can't perform, but for a brand as big as Passion to call these people the names of the future is somewhat laughable & an insult to those who are passionate (pun not intended) about their trance music.

i agree with what you are saying mate... and if you didnt notice... its not a passion night.... its a nu passion night...

we have been running nu:passion in our room 2 over the last year... and this is a opertunity for some great djs to play in our main room... we are not expecting to sell it out.. but want to give people the chance to play and build a profile...

the DJs you mentioned for a nu talent night are top names.. but they are bigger than the line up we already have on... they are already establidshed. and they probably have already been given oppertunitys to play like we are doing...

it swings in roundabouts really... we have put similar nights on like this before and the djs have progressed in the scene... i myself played at one of these many years ago... now im playing gigs over the globe and across the uk. the same with garbo... if im right in thinking other nu talent that have been generated from the emporium are jon o'bir, mync project and youseff.

like i said your points are very valid.... but somtimes you need to give people a chance...

and regarding the door fee.... it cost alot of money to put on events and open a club as big as the emporium. so that contributes towards that..

: )

well i been going passion for ten years now and its had its ups and downs, but to me it still remains as strong as ever and holds a special place.

i am sure james holden used to be a resident warm up dj for passion years ago......i think!!!

yep...!! hes another one.... i bet theres some more too....

yeah and look where he is know!!

So why you on here bad mouthing the night its people like you that piss the followers off with your negative comments plus there is a chance noobs will see your comments and think 'well i wont bother with that then it sounds shit'..event nights just dont need it things are already hard enough for them.

Yeah he most certainly was,nice proper warm up DJ at that.

Was Tall Paul ever a paSSion resident or did he just play there a lot back in the day?

mmm not sure, i know he used to play alot, remember seeing boy george and sonique!!! showing my age now :o) hahaha

Yes sadly seen some major changes on scene but Passion still a gud nite for us we travelled 100 miles + for many years . Tall Paul resident at Turnmills London (club ran by his Dad .... i think i am correct ) until its recent move to Ministry . Dec. 6th got three of our friends playing the Nu Passion nite we will b there !

Less than 2 weeks to go till NU:PASSION hits the blue room!!!
