As the decision has been made to not try and flog a dead horseresurrect Club Octaine again, we will give you the opportunity to say good-bye properly.

We (hopefully all three wise monkeys) will be at WUS this Tuesday and probably also at The Avery beforehand so we can cry into our drinks and, more importantly, reminisce about the crazy experiment that should never have survived as long as it did.

How did it last that long? Well, it was all thanks to the Easter one in 2004 which made us enough profit to keep us going for another year. We never had any more people than the average (probably 30-40, max) after that so we never made another profit.

Why did it ultimately fail?
Because people are generally only interested in one genre of music on one evening and can't deal with change.
We had a handful of die-hard fans who loved what we were doing but there weren't enough of them, sadly.

So, thanks to all of you who did believe in us and we hope you enjoyed it. Come along and say goodbye tomorrow, we'd love to see you.

Cheers

DJ Ozzy

I've never been able to go to one of the Octaine nights, but I still feel it is the ending of an era.
