A few quotes from Danny Newman regarding Turnmills closing down..

http://www.datatrans...px?featureID=18

"Then the Heavenly Social started about 2 years after The Gallery, The Chemical Brothers were residents and it was the first time I’d heard non-dance music in a club. Heavenly stayed at Turnmills for around 4 years and those years were the haziest for me! Heavenly brought a whole different crowd to the club. It had indie roots but with a dance kick. You’ve only got to look at who was there then and where are they now to see how influential the night was... it was bonkers. Can you imagine The Chemical Brothers as your weekly residents?! Fucking mental. For me the best times of my life were at Heavenly. Truly amazing times."

Do you have a closing thought for those people who have made Turnmills the club it is today?

It’s part of history. We’ve all earned our stripes. We’ve been there through the rough and the smooth and survived doing our thing. Leading from the front. We’ve never conformed to how other people have gone about things, we’ve just done what we feel is right and a lot of the time we’ve accidently discovered things and other like-minded people, with Heavenly we found each other. Good people find each other in life and we just try and do the best we possibly can.

When is Turnmills officially closing and what are you doing to celebrate?

"Ultimately, I was thinking of a weekend where we could fit in The Gallery, Together, and some past treasured nights like Heavenly Social and Headstart, and then something really special on the Sunday night for the final fair-well. We’ve had so many great residents, DJs and parties at Turnmills over the years and the club is loved by so many different people for different reasons and different nights... so it’s hard to think of the perfect time to go which allows us to do everything. The forthcoming Easter Weekend however is that perfect time, for the perfect send-off, we couldn't just do it all on the one night. It would not be fair."

Tom and Ed.. it might be a bit late to beg but please agree to do one last Heavenly Social! For the benefit of those of us who didn't get to go first time around as well as the old school.. it would be monstrous, to say the least. Would anyone like to second my proposal? Anyone got any good stories/memories? I'd love to hear them..

Nice... I think it will be worth taking the Eurostar. Me and a friend are arguing about the legal age to get into the club in London. Is it 18 or 21 ? If it's 21, are they nice if you have a ticket, you're 20, and coming from France just for the event ?

YESYESYESYES!!!!!!!!

It's 18 so you don't have to worry about that. If you're making the effort do it right though. There won't be any advance tickets for the last weekend so you're gonna have to get there FUCKING early. But I suppose it's the fairest way, at least the tickets wont get touted.

so there is no advanced tickets for that weekend?

how do you know that, who is playing?

I read it somewhere on that website, can't remember. They havn't released the lineup yet. But is guaranteed to be absolute madness.

i spoke 2 someone this evening who works for turnmills, he told me that it will be a ticket event, but to buy tickets early

It would be wicked if the Chems could help give Turnmills a proper send off!!

oh that would be legend! up there's with the 07 NYE gig that some of you made it out to. Come on Let's have it!!

I'm so there.

I've always said to people a perfect example of what dance music and clubbing is, is The Chemical Brothers in Turnmills.

Load sonic music, lazers/strobe lights and hundreds of amazingly happy people.

Please let it be! just one more time :)

with Danny's love for Headstart and the Heavenly Social as expressed in that interview I'd be very suprised if the closing weekend didn't include, at least a room, of the Headstart/Heavenly Social sound.

"hundreds of amazingly happy people"

I think u wanna change that to

"hundreds of battered people"

Same thing tho :-P

"hundreds of amazingly happy people"

"hundreds of battered people"

Same thing tho :-P

Doesn't always mean the same thing, for me anyway, I've been to nights where people are battered but not that happy. Always find the people at Chems nights a bit more glowing (In Glint) :)

Im deffo going to Turnmills on 22nd March for Together, its going to be very very speical!

I totally wish I could make it. Those of you who do, rock it extra hard for all of us who can't get there!

acid do you know when tickets go on sale? and does deffo mean you already have some? if you do, erm.. reckon you could ah, well you know.. get a few more please? ;)

After reading Dan's comments I felt several wonderful flashbacks back to the year 1996! Went to every Heavenly social that year and it truly was the best club night i've been too. I can still remember the boys finishing the set usually with I am the walrus and I am the resurrection and going completely nuts.

Tom and Ed if you read these comments please sort one final fling in salute to a fine club(and make sure you get me on the guest list!).

I dont have ticks and dont know when they are onsale either. I will be buying mine and chemicalfans when they go onsale.

Cool, would be greatly appreciated if you could keep us posted on anything you hear about the closing weekend from your insider connections!
