Im writing this in a state of depression as its been two days since i returned from the white isle and the ibiza blues are really starting to kick in. If anyone knows any remedies for this the i welcome the input>>
Some people may remember my review from last year '1st time, 1st review i love ibiza' well this year we spend 3 more nights there and got up to alot more mayhem so if your reading this your in for the long haul. plus its likley that ill reel off a load of tunes that i heard, mostly trance n hard house, as im aware that this clashes with the general liking on these forums i apologise but bare with me.
(I apologise in advance for the terrible spelling and grammar, tis cos im depressed and hung over. lol)
Sat 30th June
Started the day by being woken up at a rediciluos hour(8am) by daz(one of two new members of our party this year along with sam)by text message, we didnt have to laeve for the airport till one and as i had packed like the tuesday before there was no need to get up in such haste.Anyway we all met up at rawsons house and off to the airport we went, Arriving around two hours before our flight. The day was suddenly hit with disaster when wardle recieved a text message saying that there was a bomb at ibiza airport, anyway as im sure everyone knows what happened there, our flight was delayed by two hours so we jus sat in the airport drinking.
We arrived in ibiza collected our bags and got into the taxi que which went down surprisingly quickly, More bad news awaited when we got to our hotel(Poniente Playa) they had double booked us so we had to go around the corner and spend the night in another hotel, it turned out to be better than the one we were already in, cant for the life of me remember the name tho.After getting all our stuf into our room we decided that we couldnt be bothered eating and just headed straight to the west end as it was around half eleven. Last year we became locals at a top bar at the top of the west end called the boozer, john the owner was a legend so we went straight there and after jogging his memory there he remembered us. Also got our picture taken by the campest guy, he asked us every night and definatly fancied our mate reason, which hell never hear the end of. After numerous pints of vodka red bull the night became a bit of a blur, do remember hitting a few other bars and meting some bird before going to PLAY 2 to see vicky devine in her night Charleys Angels. Walked in to hear that Dave Spoon- at night was playing, not really my style of music that as i like trance and harder but i love that song. Ended up getting kicked out of there that night after there was a scuffle at the bar and i was the victim of mistaken identity,bad times,so ended up at another bar and then home to sleep it off.
Sun
Again was woken up at a rediciliuos hour in the morning at around half 9, this time by lloydy, but his saving grace was that he had bottles of water,good times,so up we got and headed for breakfast at what was supposed to be our hotel and then we sat off by the pool all day nursing out hangovers for an hour or so and then back on the beer. The pool at out hotel is decent but there were some right chavs there that were being right knobs, they soon left though leaving us to catch some quality and more peaceful rays. After being at the pool for the best part of the day we headed back to our hotel to change and go out for some dinner, coastline was our choice for the day as it was quality last year, had a few beers there first then eat our meal. We then headed off to mambos to watch the sunset which ofcourse is the most amazing site. On the way walking back to our hotel we got talking to a girl who was pr'in for kanya, she was sound and arranged to meet us with some of her mates at eden later that night, as we did this my mate payed a visit to a lucky lucky guy. We hit the west end then and spent all night in the boozer until about one when half of us got off to eden cos i didnt want to miss one second of marcel woods. When we arrived there vicky devine was just finishing her first set of the night so quickly ran to the bar to get ripped off for a bottle then right to the front to see marcel woods, iv seen him twice before this but this was by far his best set, he dropped monotone in the middle of his set and then at the end Advanced, cherry blossom and his new one i think its called lemon tree or summit all in a row, absolutly nuked the dance floor. Julesey was next and his set was full of new trance belters,Tom day-whisper,randy katana-session impossible and his own tune laid bare to name a few. By this time i was getting pretty messy and lisa lashes was headin the night, i hadnt listened to any hard dance for a while but it all came flooding back when she came on,just before her set id spoke to her at the side of the dj booth and she signed a flyer for me, she dropped Always Faithful which just sent me wild but cant rememba much else bout the night. Apart from speaking to the resident DJ from syndicate in blackpool for about 10 minutes after i spotted him walking through the club and goin 2 the beach after the club and talking to some lads about the zoo project boat party, got sum info but never ended up speakin 2 um agen.
Mon
After getting back from the beach, went back to the hotel room to find that daz had brought that gal back and was asleep in my bed so no sleep for me, sat on the balcony and tried to calm down after one of the best nights of my life, once everyone was up and awake we packed our cases and headed back to where we wer suposed to be staying, checked in, eat and then off for some sunbathing. The daytime followed a similar pattern to the previous, just sat by the pool with a few beers jus messin about. The d**kheads from the day before had gone now so was more peaceful. Night time approached and we headed to the boozer to buy some t-shirts as we were now fully promoting the pub,we got sum free shots and a drink and then headed for some food, we went to a chinese place, didnt have a clue where it was or what it was called but it was dead nice. After the conversation i had with Fubar the night before in J.S i was well up for goin pukka up 2nyt but the others wernt really in the mood so we just ended up sat in the boozer till about 4 then went bak to the hotel only to find daz sat at the bar talkin to some scouse lad, there were both wreked so me n wardle got into a similar state, we headed to our hotel room to put some tunes on and were talkin to the lads in the room across from ours, we ended up gettin shouted at by the staff at the hotel for makin to much noise, but by this time is was pushin 6 in mornin so we headed to the beach to see wa kinda people we could find. Got talkin to some gal called laura who was ment to be workin over there but didnt actually have a job, all her mates were there listenin to what i described at crap tunes but it turned out to be techno, then they started lecturing me n wardle how techno is better than trance and gave all these genres of techno that i should listen to, minimal 2 beat techno being one that made me laugh quit hard. Man iv never seen so many people off there heads on ketamine, what the hell is all that about??also got talkin briefly 2 some fit bird who lives like 5 miles from me back in England.
Tues
After returning from the beach at a hour closer to midday than I would prefer I decided that sleep was a waste of time, so again we went and sat by the pool and waited for our less hardcore mates to get up and arrive, when they got up we decided to see if Amnesia was open cos 7 hours of Armin Van buuren would have been a crime to miss, so we asked around and no-one seemed to know so on the net we went to these lovely forums and guess what it was closed, which left the choice of dangerous dave pearce or tidy vs. extereme euphoria, after lisa lashes had re awoken my love for hard dance at the Sunday previous there was only one winner so after a day of sunbathing again we got ready went to eat at a little place called Puet in san an and then off to the west end for more drinks before es paradise, the boozer it was again, as we always plan to just have one in there before heading down the west end, but before long it was almost 3 oclock so me and lloydy ran off to the club, we had been given workers tickets by a lad from the boozer for 10 euros so we got in with them,good times, we didn’t go to es paradise last year and wow what a mint club that is, I was a bit too leathered to appreciate it to the full but wow. The tidy boys were in full flow as we arrived and as I stepped onto the dance floor they dropped Walt- Let the music play, awesome tune and that got me goin good style, the only other tune I can remember they played was Heavens Cry-till tears do us part, which is a given with tidy, next on was kym Ayres,id heard good things about her but hadn’t seen her before, and I wasn’t disappointed, the highlight was probably when she dropped Pendulum- Slam in the middle of her set, holy hell sent the roof off, She also dropped Her collaboration with Technikal- More and More, which me and wardle did some very bad but very enthusiastic singing to. After that I had to carry wardle home cos he was in such a state and had my first encounter with a lovely whore in the west end, I kindly told her to F**k off. Got home and there were too girls sat in our hotel room with daz, one of them the one who I found in my bed on the Monday morning, as everyone passed out it was left to me and kim (the other girl) to sit up and get even more leathered, till around midday when everyone arose again.
Wed
This day was a rite off for me as a lack of sleep and too much getting hammered took it tole on me, so I proceeded to sit in the hotel room all day with about 100 gallons of water, while the others went the pool. They came back saying they had met some lovely girls from out hotel, we all got ready for the night ahead, which was supposed to be Morillo at pacha but deciding that we had to be on the Shipwreked boat party at 6 the next morning we would go to es paradise again for the water party with the world No1 DJ, Dj sammy (not), I was very tempted not to go as I couldn’t justify spending 33 euros on him, but I was talked around.We spend the rest of the day laughing how he would play Heaven and boys of summer on repeat for two hours. We ate at our hotel as we couldn’t be arsed really goin any where else, bought our tickets at for es paradise and headed out again to the boozer, I think we might of made it to a few other bars aswell and had a quick boogy in play 2 before heading to see DJ sammy at the latest possible time, we got there about 4 I think, it was absolutely packed in the club to my surprise, and after about 5 minutes of being in there he dropped Sander Van Doorn- Back by any demand, I thought that the night could be a great success. He followed that with Underworld-Born Slippy and finally Zombie nation, the night was going well. Then all our worst fears were realised when he piped up on the mic “hear is a new mix for 2007 of Heaven”we all burst out laughing, he followed that with, yes u guessed it, boys of summer, and im still laughing about it now it was so funny. Then the water started and the Dj who took over couldn’t mix a cake, we had a laugh never the less and got very very wet till 6 o’clock came and we headed out to look for where shipwrecked was taking place.
Shipwrecked
This has it own little section as it was sooooo amazing. We came outta es paradise and walked down the harbour and found where the boat was, only a few people stood around at this point but by half 6 there was a decent sized que. Got on the boat still soaked and found a nice spot for dancing on the top deck at the back, noticed that laura girl from the beach a few morning past so we continued our conversation about minimal 2 beat techno, once again made me laugh, don’t really no why still.Also found out the lad she was with the other morning wasn’t her b.f. So thought I might try my luck with her. The tunes on the boat were awesome, David Guetta-Love is gone, Axwell- I found you(the tune of Ibiza 2007)Chemical Brothers-Do it again to name a few.I think some one told me the Djs name was Marco loco but that could be a complete lie. Once again all the workers were off their heads so I thought if you cant beat um join um.The party was amazing and everyone raved for the entire time, also saw that girl (charley) who didn’t live so far away from me, im from Ellesmere port and her from chester, so we talked and hit it off straight away, did a little smooching as the sun rose, was just terrific. The only downer to the whole thing was that some one nearly died after snorting like a gram of ketamine in one line, fortunately we found out he was ok after tho.Got off the boat at god nos what time I everyone was a mess, my mate sam decided that all the drugs and the guy collapsing practically next to him was all a bit too much so he said he was gonna go home. I headed off with charley to hers ;]
After I got back around half one ish to our hotel I went to sleep as I thought there was nothing on that night as amnesia was still shut.
Thurs
Was contently sleeping after my huge raving sesh on the boat when I was rudely awoken by rawson , I was about to kill him when he greeted me with the words “CREAM IS DEFINATLY OPEN TONIGHT” i automatically new this would be the best night of my life. I jumped outta bed and got ready, as Sam hadn’t changed his mind we saw him off to the airport, said our goodbyes, but nothing could dampen my spirits as it was cream opening. We ate at coastline for the 2nd time then to kanya to buy our tickets, then back to the boozer as usual to get trollied. I was becoming immune to pints of vodka red bull by this point so was drinking all manner of shots and cocktails. Back to kanya about 12 so see any pre sets and to get the free bus. The bus arrived and I ran as fast as my drunked legs could take me, unfortunately the driver was a stubborn ba***rd and would leave until the coach was heavin, we got to cream just after one and in I went, wow I love that place. Above and beyond were doin there stuff when we got in, although I first thought I was Guisseppe Ottaviani,(don’t ask me how I got confused) until they dropped Cant sleep after like two minutes, and I went sick, other tunes dropped included Oceanic and Super 8 and Tab-Suru, one of the best sets iv ever heard, Ferry corsten was on next, id not seen him before either, he was good but nothing special. Then the set id been waiting for all holiday Guiseppe Ottaviani, His set was unbelievable, id heard from reviews on here and other places that he was good but that’s an understatement, def future top 5 Dj in my opinion.He dropped Until Monday, Through your eyes and also a tune he has done with PVD thats unreleased called Far Away. He finished with Linking People and I nearly cried it was that good. Finishing the night was EDDIE EDDIE EDDIE, don’t really need to say anything apart from he was once again at his awesome god like best, Mr halliwell I salute you.He dropped Vincent de Moor-Fly away, the new one from Simon Patterson,and other belters that I cant remember. The only problem with cream is there was far to may chavs trying to start chavvy chants, non that I could understand, and that pissed me off.Also not hearing Above and Beyond play good for me was a shame.if they did at all.
Me and lloydy left with like 5 minutes to go to get a taxi, the que was still massive but as a taxi flew straight to the back of the que as we got there we jumped in it.
Back in the hotel room I was lying down for about half an hour when the rest of our clan arrived in, Lloydy was stood on the balcony and looking out he shouted, “**** thats eddie halliwell just gone into the hotel opposite” of course I said he was talking crap but 10 minutes later he said again, he just come out of the hotel, so I ran to the balcony, and would you believe it, it was the commander and chief eddie halliwell, so we proceeded to chant Eddie Eddie Eddie, sad but true, he looked and said hi we told him that his set was awsome blar blar, and he thanked us, he such a legend, he then said “remember full fire is all you require”and walked off, how corney, but that will stay with me for the rest of my life.
FRI & SAT
Me and wardle went to meet some ex g.fs we knew from back home, sat on the beach on the Friday and then went out and got slightly drunk at night, Found a bar on the west end I think is called Tropi, that after midnight just played trance, awesome.
Saturday spent it buy the pool and then got ready for charleys angels again at Play 2, didn’t get kicked out this time and the tunes were bangin, vicky devine really is an awesome do. towards the end of the night it turned into the harder end of trance and I was well impressed, altho I had a masive argument with one of the girls from back home, she threatened to pack her case and go home,.All for no reason aswell. Very uneventful two days really, plus this review is getting huge now.
Sun
Last club night tonight, spent the day sunbathing and trying to figure out what the big kick off was about the night before, Got sunburnt quit bad aswel which wasn’t good, Then headed back to get ready and buy our judgement Sundays tickets. Went out for tea with the girls to some pizza place next to our hotel then back to the west end, no prizes for guessing the boozer is where we went. Got talking to Charley again who was Pr’in in the west end, top gal she is, got her number aswell. So theres hopefully a chance of a reunion when she gets bak in sept. Headed off to Judgement Sundays at about 2 to and Matt Hardwick was just finishing, Gutted I really wanted to see him, I always guess what times certain Djs will be on and I always get it wrong. So Christopher Lawrence was on next, not the biggest fan of Tech trance but he was really good, not so sure about 4th best Dj in the world tho, he was followed by jules who was not as good as last week but all the same still amazing. Then ‘Irelands Biggest Dj’ John Ocallaghan, he was fantastic, was stood right at the front for his whole set and he was amazing, Dropped Exactly and Thomas Bronzwear-Constellations, tremendous set. Barry Connell was closing the club but I was nakered stayed for his first tune, Marco V- Loops n Tings but then had to go home.Id seen him twice before and new that hes amazing but just couldn’t stand up any longer.
Mon
Our last full day 2day we woke up at about half one and headed straight for the harbour as it was our plan to do some water sports today. We jumped on a boat and headed out, we went on a Flying Fish thing again, same as last year, absolutely hilarious, Daz got cramp half way through and Iv never laughed so hard in my life, we messed about on that for a while and headed back . Went to a place in the west end called Rock &Ribs for dinner, quality food again. Then back to the hotel to get ready as we didn’t want to waste any of our last night. Spoke 2 charley as she had been at our room to drop some of my stuff off but I wasn’t there, and I heard that she had been stung by jelly fish in Playa den bossa, She said that one of her mates was Djing at a bar called hush and that we should go along. So went the boozer, and said goodbye to the ex gals, then drank myself into a stuper, Daz said he had never seen me so drunk, charley arrived and escorted me and daz to hush, her mate was quality, not really into the tunes as a first choice but really ill listen to anything, and I appreciate a good tune or a good dj when I hear one. We scooted off to my hotel room about 4/5 leaving daz talking to some people, of which one lad im sure fancied him. lol.
Tues
We checked out of our hotel room and headed to the godfathers bar in the west end for breakfast (we actually went there a lot at night as well)i felt terrible and couldn’t manage much, so we then sat in the boozer, played pool and watched sky sports news all day, o and got our photos developed. Headed to the airport about half 5 and boarded about 8. Arrived back at my house midnightish, and im still feling the hangover now, im hoping to get a job and go back over a week in august for armada and cream again…well at least I can try…Hope you enjoyed this review, I no it was terribly long but didn’t wanna do a half arsed one, IBIZA IBIZA IBIZA IBIZA I LOVE YOU….
Some people may remember my review from last year '1st time, 1st review i love ibiza' well this year we spend 3 more nights there and got up to alot more mayhem so if your reading this your in for the long haul. plus its likley that ill reel off a load of tunes that i heard, mostly trance n hard house, as im aware that this clashes with the general liking on these forums i apologise but bare with me.
(I apologise in advance for the terrible spelling and grammar, tis cos im depressed and hung over. lol)
Sat 30th June
Started the day by being woken up at a rediciluos hour(8am) by daz(one of two new members of our party this year along with sam)by text message, we didnt have to laeve for the airport till one and as i had packed like the tuesday before there was no need to get up in such haste.Anyway we all met up at rawsons house and off to the airport we went, Arriving around two hours before our flight.

Apart from speaking to the resident DJ from syndicate in blackpool for about 10 minutes after i spotted him walking through the club and goin 2 the beach after the club and talking to some lads about the zoo project boat party, got sum info but never ended up speakin 2 um agen.
Mon
After getting back from the beach, went back to the hotel room to find that daz had brought that gal back and was asleep in my bed so no sleep for me, sat on the balcony and tried to calm down after one of the best nights of my life, once everyone was up and awake we packed our cases and headed back to where we wer suposed to be staying, checked in, eat and then off for some sunbathing. The daytime followed a similar pattern to the previous, just sat by the pool with a few beers jus messin about. The d**kheads from the day before had gone now so was more peaceful. Night time approached and we headed to the boozer to buy some t-shirts as we were now fully promoting the pub,we got sum free shots and a drink and then headed for some food, we went to a chinese place, didnt have a clue where it was or what it was called but it was dead nice. After the conversation i had with Fubar the night before in J.S i was well up for goin pukka up 2nyt but the others wernt really in the mood so we just ended up sat in the boozer till about 4 then went bak to the hotel only to find daz sat at the bar talkin to some scouse lad, there were both wreked so me n wardle got into a similar state, we headed to our hotel room to put some tunes on and were talkin to the lads in the room across from ours, we ended up gettin shouted at by the staff at the hotel for makin to much noise, but by this time is was pushin 6 in mornin so we headed to the beach to see wa kinda people we could find.

Man iv never seen so many people off there heads on ketamine, what the hell is all that about??also got talkin briefly 2 some fit bird who lives like 5 miles from me back in England.
Tues
After returning from the beach at a hour closer to midday than I would prefer I decided that sleep was a waste of time, so again we went and sat by the pool and waited for our less hardcore mates to get up and arrive, when they got up we decided to see if Amnesia was open cos 7 hours of Armin Van buuren would have been a crime to miss, so we asked around and no-one seemed to know so on the net we went to these lovely forums and guess what it was closed, which left the choice of dangerous dave pearce or tidy vs. extereme euphoria, after lisa lashes had re awoken my love for hard dance at the Sunday previous there was only one winner so after a day of sunbathing again we got ready went to eat at a little place called Puet in san an and then off to the west end for more drinks before es paradise, the boozer it was again, as we always plan to just have one in there before heading down the west end, but before long it was almost 3 oclock so me and lloydy ran off to the club, we had been given workers tickets by a lad from the boozer for 10 euros so we got in with them,good times, we didn’t go to es paradise last year and wow what a mint club that is, I was a bit too leathered to appreciate it to the full but wow. The tidy boys were in full flow as we arrived and as I stepped onto the dance floor they dropped Walt- Let the music play, awesome tune and that got me goin good style, the only other tune I can remember they played was Heavens Cry-till tears do us part, which is a given with tidy, next on was kym Ayres,id heard good things about her but hadn’t seen her before, and I wasn’t disappointed, the highlight was probably when she dropped Pendulum- Slam in the middle of her set, holy hell sent the roof off, She also dropped Her collaboration with Technikal- More and More, which me and wardle did some very bad but very enthusiastic singing to. After that I had to carry wardle home cos he was in such a state and had my first encounter with a lovely whore in the west end, I kindly told her to F**k off. Got home and there were too girls sat in our hotel room with daz, one of them the one who I found in my bed on the Monday morning, as everyone passed out it was left to me and kim (the other girl) to sit up and get even more leathered, till around midday when everyone arose again.
Wed
This day was a rite off for me as a lack of sleep and too much getting hammered took it tole on me, so I proceeded to sit in the hotel room all day with about 100 gallons of water, while the others went the pool. They came back saying they had met some lovely girls from out hotel, we all got ready for the night ahead, which was supposed to be Morillo at pacha but deciding that we had to be on the Shipwreked boat party at 6 the next morning we would go to es paradise again for the water party with the world No1 DJ, Dj sammy (not), I was very tempted not to go as I couldn’t justify spending 33 euros on him, but I was talked around.We spend the rest of the day laughing how he would play Heaven and boys of summer on repeat for two hours. We ate at our hotel as we couldn’t be arsed really goin any where else, bought our tickets at for es paradise and headed out again to the boozer, I think we might of made it to a few other bars aswell and had a quick boogy in play 2 before heading to see DJ sammy at the latest possible time, we got there about 4 I think, it was absolutely packed in the club to my surprise, and after about 5 minutes of being in there he dropped Sander Van Doorn- Back by any demand, I thought that the night could be a great success. He followed that with Underworld-Born Slippy and finally Zombie nation, the night was going well. Then all our worst fears were realised when he piped up on the mic “hear is a new mix for 2007 of Heaven”we all burst out laughing, he followed that with, yes u guessed it, boys of summer, and im still laughing about it now it was so funny. Then the water started and the Dj who took over couldn’t mix a cake, we had a laugh never the less and got very very wet till 6 o’clock came and we headed out to look for where shipwrecked was taking place.
Shipwrecked
This has it own little section as it was sooooo amazing. We came outta es paradise and walked down the harbour and found where the boat was, only a few people stood around at this point but by half 6 there was a decent sized que. Got on the boat still soaked and found a nice spot for dancing on the top deck at the back, noticed that laura girl from the beach a few morning past so we continued our conversation about minimal 2 beat techno, once again made me laugh, don’t really no why still.Also found out the lad she was with the other morning wasn’t her b.f. So thought I might try my luck with her. The tunes on the boat were awesome, David Guetta-Love is gone, Axwell- I found you(the tune of Ibiza 2007)Chemical Brothers-Do it again to name a few.I think some one told me the Djs name was Marco loco but that could be a complete lie. Once again all the workers were off their heads so I thought if you cant beat um join um.The party was amazing and everyone raved for the entire time, also saw that girl (charley) who didn’t live so far away from me, im from Ellesmere port and her from chester, so we talked and hit it off straight away, did a little smooching as the sun rose, was just terrific. The only downer to the whole thing was that some one nearly died after snorting like a gram of ketamine in one line, fortunately we found out he was ok after tho.Got off the boat at god nos what time I everyone was a mess, my mate sam decided that all the drugs and the guy collapsing practically next to him was all a bit too much so he said he was gonna go home. I headed off with charley to hers ;]
After I got back around half one ish to our hotel I went to sleep as I thought there was nothing on that night as amnesia was still shut.
Thurs
Was contently sleeping after my huge raving sesh on the boat when I was rudely awoken by rawson , I was about to kill him when he greeted me with the words “CREAM IS DEFINATLY OPEN TONIGHT” i automatically new this would be the best night of my life. I jumped outta bed and got ready, as Sam hadn’t changed his mind we saw him off to the airport, said our goodbyes, but nothing could dampen my spirits as it was cream opening. We ate at coastline for the 2nd time then to kanya to buy our tickets, then back to the boozer as usual to get trollied. I was becoming immune to pints of vodka red bull by this point so was drinking all manner of shots and cocktails. Back to kanya about 12 so see any pre sets and to get the free bus. The bus arrived and I ran as fast as my drunked legs could take me, unfortunately the driver was a stubborn ba***rd and would leave until the coach was heavin, we got to cream just after one and in I went, wow I love that place. Above and beyond were doin there stuff when we got in, although I first thought I was Guisseppe Ottaviani,(don’t ask me how I got confused) until they dropped Cant sleep after like two minutes, and I went sick, other tunes dropped included Oceanic and Super 8 and Tab-Suru, one of the best sets iv ever heard, Ferry corsten was on next, id not seen him before either, he was good but nothing special. Then the set id been waiting for all holiday Guiseppe Ottaviani, His set was unbelievable, id heard from reviews on here and other places that he was good but that’s an understatement, def future top 5 Dj in my opinion.He dropped Until Monday, Through your eyes and also a tune he has done with PVD thats unreleased called Far Away. He finished with Linking People and I nearly cried it was that good. Finishing the night was EDDIE EDDIE EDDIE, don’t really need to say anything apart from he was once again at his awesome god like best, Mr halliwell I salute you.He dropped Vincent de Moor-Fly away, the new one from Simon Patterson,and other belters that I cant remember. The only problem with cream is there was far to may chavs trying to start chavvy chants, non that I could understand, and that pissed me off.Also not hearing Above and Beyond play good for me was a shame.if they did at all.
Me and lloydy left with like 5 minutes to go to get a taxi, the que was still massive but as a taxi flew straight to the back of the que as we got there we jumped in it.
Back in the hotel room I was lying down for about half an hour when the rest of our clan arrived in, Lloydy was stood on the balcony and looking out he shouted, “**** thats eddie halliwell just gone into the hotel opposite” of course I said he was talking crap but 10 minutes later he said again, he just come out of the hotel, so I ran to the balcony, and would you believe it, it was the commander and chief eddie halliwell, so we proceeded to chant Eddie Eddie Eddie, sad but true, he looked and said hi we told him that his set was awsome blar blar, and he thanked us, he such a legend, he then said “remember full fire is all you require”and walked off, how corney, but that will stay with me for the rest of my life.
FRI & SAT
Me and wardle went to meet some ex g.fs we knew from back home, sat on the beach on the Friday and then went out and got slightly drunk at night, Found a bar on the west end I think is called Tropi, that after midnight just played trance, awesome.
Saturday spent it buy the pool and then got ready for charleys angels again at Play 2, didn’t get kicked out this time and the tunes were bangin, vicky devine really is an awesome do. towards the end of the night it turned into the harder end of trance and I was well impressed, altho I had a masive argument with one of the girls from back home, she threatened to pack her case and go home,.All for no reason aswell. Very uneventful two days really, plus this review is getting huge now.
Sun
Last club night tonight, spent the day sunbathing and trying to figure out what the big kick off was about the night before, Got sunburnt quit bad aswel which wasn’t good, Then headed back to get ready and buy our judgement Sundays tickets. Went out for tea with the girls to some pizza place next to our hotel then back to the west end, no prizes for guessing the boozer is where we went. Got talking to Charley again who was Pr’in in the west end, top gal she is, got her number aswell. So theres hopefully a chance of a reunion when she gets bak in sept. Headed off to Judgement Sundays at about 2 to and Matt Hardwick was just finishing, Gutted I really wanted to see him, I always guess what times certain Djs will be on and I always get it wrong. So Christopher Lawrence was on next, not the biggest fan of Tech trance but he was really good, not so sure about 4th best Dj in the world tho, he was followed by jules who was not as good as last week but all the same still amazing. Then ‘Irelands Biggest Dj’ John Ocallaghan, he was fantastic, was stood right at the front for his whole set and he was amazing, Dropped Exactly and Thomas Bronzwear-Constellations, tremendous set. Barry Connell was closing the club but I was nakered stayed for his first tune, Marco V- Loops n Tings but then had to go home.Id seen him twice before and new that hes amazing but just couldn’t stand up any longer.
Mon
Our last full day 2day we woke up at about half one and headed straight for the harbour as it was our plan to do some water sports today. We jumped on a boat and headed out, we went on a Flying Fish thing again, same as last year, absolutely hilarious, Daz got cramp half way through and Iv never laughed so hard in my life, we messed about on that for a while and headed back . Went to a place in the west end called Rock &Ribs for dinner, quality food again. Then back to the hotel to get ready as we didn’t want to waste any of our last night. Spoke 2 charley as she had been at our room to drop some of my stuff off but I wasn’t there, and I heard that she had been stung by jelly fish in Playa den bossa, She said that one of her mates was Djing at a bar called hush and that we should go along. So went the boozer, and said goodbye to the ex gals, then drank myself into a stuper, Daz said he had never seen me so drunk, charley arrived and escorted me and daz to hush, her mate was quality, not really into the tunes as a first choice but really ill listen to anything, and I appreciate a good tune or a good dj when I hear one. We scooted off to my hotel room about 4/5 leaving daz talking to some people, of which one lad im sure fancied him. lol.
Tues
We checked out of our hotel room and headed to the godfathers bar in the west end for breakfast (we actually went there a lot at night as well)i felt terrible and couldn’t manage much, so we then sat in the boozer, played pool and watched sky sports news all day, o and got our photos developed. Headed to the airport about half 5 and boarded about 8. Arrived back at my house midnightish, and im still feling the hangover now, im hoping to get a job and go back over a week in august for armada and cream again…well at least I can try…Hope you enjoyed this review, I no it was terribly long but didn’t wanna do a half arsed one, IBIZA IBIZA IBIZA IBIZA I LOVE YOU….
