Anyone know more about the drug bust police raid on Rockworld last night?

Gosh. There used to be an official Jilly's messageboard, but that appears to have died.

HARM (http://www.harm.man.ac.uk/) has a couple of mentions on their boards, but you have to register to read them. No specifics.

The MancPunkScene boards have a different take (http://www.mancpunkscene.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15903).

Really?

I've not heard about that but I was hiding in my flat all weekend so that's no surprise. But I know a few people and a friend of mine knows the owner so I'll find out and dish the dirt. :-)

Really. The raid happened, there are enough eye witness accounts of the police turning up, the reason seems unclear (tax evasion, benefit fraud by bouncers, whatever.

From what I can gather it was all boring tax evasion/benefits fraud stuff, so very lame. Someone on the jillys livejournal community linked to a board where a couple DJs pop up and mention it.

I'm surprised it doesn't seem to be a drug raid with the amount of fucking idiot pill heads in there lately. (They're even infiltrating Saturday nights now :(.)

Dude, Orange Peel mentioned that Dave was thinking of coming up for a Wendyhouse night in Leeds. You up for it?

Been talkin' about May for teh wendyhouse, but no promises.
Me & others were also talkin' about a manchester game/jillys trip in June, although that now look sless likely?

If you can make it up for a Friday Ara is fantastic. I think it's the 4th (?) Friday of the month. It's the one Orange Peel and his housemate have been going to. Good group of people, drug free, BYOB and decent music. No smoking venue as well (in an old church.) If Jilly's does survive tax evasion then we'd be more than willing to meet up with you guys :D.

Oh! We're going to be in London the weekend of the 14th. Probably going to the game and then.... ?

Unlikely now, unfortunately, as it's bad timing but I want to go to Wendyhouse at one point.

I'd like to as well. I've met loads of the Wendyhouse folks at Ara, they're all really cool. A lot of them are uber goth....

The great thing about Wendyhouse is that the more trad/indie oriented people can stay downstairs while I can stomp my little boots off to harsh electronica upstairs. ;o)

Ooooh! I'll come boot stomping with you. I rarely get a chance to do that. No one in Manchester is particularly stompy :(.

Yay!
In that case, I really need to come up to Manchester at one point because I really really want to go to Implant (http://www.clubimplant.co.uk). It's the same format as my own highly irregular electro/industrial/noise/idm club (although the sometimes lapse and play VNV...) and I want to hear more of that stuff and actually dance to it, too.
