review

Get two hands out, forget your thumbs and chop a pinkie off and you've got the right number of fingers to count the DJs tonight... We had sets from Gonzalo, Mr Haywood, Neil Duffie, Kate Wildblood, Richard Jones, Freddie Thomas and DJ Rocket! It just as well there were plenty to go around, because the place was PACKED!

The first bank holiday weekend and the first major Fruit party of the year, and no expense had been spared. Everything that we've come to expect from a good Fruit was present: fabulous lighting and lasers, pyrotechnics, stiltwalkers, oiled-up muscleboys, a thumping sound system and a good range of drinks offers. Plenty of clubbers had put in the effort and thrown together some outrageous costumes for the Dangerous Liaisons theme.

The bars may have been a bit overrun from time to time, but the atmosphere washed over most of us... although the last place most people want to spend Wild Fruit is propping up a bar, at least we could bounce along to the music while we were there! As for the coat-check... well it's nearly summer so we can leave our rags at home pretty soon anyway!

Tonight's PA was X-Factor's/Happy Monday's Rowetta... who had the crowd in the palm of her hand as she ran through a few favourite tunes (I must admit I was too busy elbowing my way to the front of the crowd with my camera to remember exactly what she sang - but it went down a treat!).

about Kate Wildblood

Kate Wildblood. DJ, writer and, as a sometimes outspoken journalist, a force to be reckoned with. If you’ve been out and about in Brighton then you’ll have found it hard to ignore her presence behind the decks at Wild Fruit, Sunday Sundae, Envy, the Honeyclub, Wet Pussy, the Candy Bar (pauses for breath) Shameless Hussies, Pride, Fruit Underground, Shine... (gasps)... and French Kiss. Amongst othe... Click for more info and complete listings for Kate Wildblood
