View Full Version : HeadKandi carling academy saturday night!!
blondie-blue 12-05-2008, 11:29 What an absolutely blinding night this was, great music great atmosphere and the live performances were quality... Speaking of which can anyone remember who the live vocalist was on that night... had a few too much to remember who it was!!! :confused:
xeyedlion 13-05-2008, 13:02 i thought it was garbage, the cueing to get in was a mess for a start but it was billed as a big un so i suppose thats to be expected ish, once inside my god it was like stepping back in time to roxy days (not that i went there much only once i remeber)
hed kandi usually attract a cool crowd and to be fair the people were preety smart n with it but the venue is far too large to hold a dance night and it felt so chavvy and like beeing at a school disco or something, the sound system wasn't and dont feel it could have been good enough to reach further than the dancefloor and that venue could never be filled enough for a club night to have a good vibe going on.
i reckon it would be ace to go and see a band there but not good enough for clubbing, also drinks a bit minty and even though they were served in tacky plastic cups you still couldnt take them outside, which for me the outside had the best atmosphere going on..glad i didnt pay to get in a steep £15
ahmen

ahmenInteresting. I thought a venue that size only something like Hed Kandi would work there.
blondie-blue 14-05-2008, 08:41 Well i had a good night suppose it's the people that you're with, i agree with the queuing it was horrendous luckily for me i didn't have to neither did i have to pay, i didn't find it ''CHAVVY'' at all if you want ''CHAVVY'' go visit VIBE now thats chav central. As for the sound system i thought it sounded great specially when the live percussionists were on... O well i suppose you cant please everyone.. :D
As for the drinks my mates and i were buying in rounds, my mate was drinking the little bottle's of rose wine my sister was drinking JD & coke and i was drinking either Archers and lemonade or WKD the round came £9 -£10 everytime i didn't think that was too bad no more expensive than anywhere else in town??!!!
Plastic cups are a good idea for one it stops idiots using them in fights and people dropping glass on the dance floor and ending up with it stuck in your foot is not pleasent, so all in all a great idea, i agree they dont look too classy but who cares!!

Well why do you bother going if you don't like it?! :rolleyes:
I don't like Embrace, so guess what? I don't go!!! Great success!!! It's a system (in my experience) that I tend to find works! :thumbsup:

Because i like/liked the music but the morons that go in there tend to spoil it so guess what i dont go anymore!!!!
Please dont turn this thread into another VIBE thread.. they tend to get boring..!!!
discodown 15-05-2008, 17:33 yeh it was packed... everyone seemed to be having a good time!! :DWhat do you think of the venue overall? i've been but I would imagine that its hard to generate a really good atmosphere in a room that size. That said i'll be going to HK at some point
blondie-blue 16-05-2008, 09:12 I thought it was a really good venue, plenty of room to throw some shapes and didn't have to wait ages at the bar because there are plenty of bars upstairs and downstairs and all of a decent size... although the farce with the queue's needs sorting out. Saying that i thought the atmosphere was great specially on the dance floor... but then i went with a great bunch of family and friends and we had a right old messy time... got the pic's to prove it and we all cant wait for the next one.. Just what sheffield needs i think, well thats my personal opinion anyway!!! :D

CarlSheff 16-05-2008, 20:55 Fair enough, only thing is its so huge if you lose your friends its probably easier to make new ones than find your old ones!
Soo true, been once on a friday & wasn't impressed ended up loosing everyone!!
