I'm not a regular oop norf but do have a fondness for Dave Beer et al so thought this was a bit sad.
TO ALL BASICS FAITHFUL
ITS BEEN A TOUGH SUMMER FOR EVERYONE AND IT'S ONLY JUST SINKING IN THAT THE CREDIT CRUNCH IS NOT A BREAKFAST CERIAL AND THERES NOT ENOUGH MONEY TO GO ROUND WITH PEOPLES OVER PRICED IBIZA TRIPS, FESTIVALS ETC.
NUMBERS HAVE NOT BEEN WHAT THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN, WHICH HAS HIT THE CLUB VERY HARD.
WE ARE LEFT WITH THE AGONISING POSITION AFTER 18 YEARS, FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER CLOSE THE CLUB FOR THE SUMMER, IF NOT INDEFINATELY. AFTER ALL WE ARE ONE OF THE VERY FEW CLUBS IN THE COUNTRY THAT HAS ALWAYS OPERATED THROUGH SUMMER AND EVEN EASTER BREAKS.
BUT **** THAT QUITTING ****! QUITTINGS FOR LOSERS SO THE CLUB IS GOING TO REMAIN RUNNING THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER AND BEYOND!! BUT, WE HAVE BEEN LEFT WITH NO CHOICE BUT TO TAKE SOME DRASTIC MEASURES TO SECURE THE CLUBS SURVIVAL.
FIRSTLY WE HAVE HAD TO SCRAP ALL HEADLINERS FOR THE NEXT FEW WEEKS BUT ALL OF WHOM WE HAVE PROMISED A RETURN GIG LATER IN THE YEAR SO DON'T WORRY IF YOU WERE LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING GUILLAUME, KINK OR MASSI DL.
THEY UNDERSTAND THE SITUATION AND HAVE PROMISED TO RETURN.
I HOPE YOU ALL UNDERSTAND AND APPRECIATE WHAT WE ARE DOING HERE AND GOING THROUGH, THESE ARE TOUGH TIMES, CLUBS ARE CLOSING UP AND DOWN THE COUNTRY EVEN HITTING SUCH CLUBS AS MATTER, FABRIC AND T-BAR WHO WENT INTO LIQUIDATION, SO THIS IS A DRASTIC TIME FOR CLUBS EVERYWHERE.
SO THE PLAN IS TO RUN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY, ALL HANDS ON DECKS. HOPING WE CAN ALL PULL TOGETHER TO AGAIN SECURE THE CLUBS FUTURE. WE WILL BE RELYING ON YOUR SUPPORT AS EVER SO HERE ARE THE LINE UPS FOR THE NEXT 2 WEEKS:
THIS WEEK WILL BE “BASICS ALLSTARS†WHICH AFTER ALL NEVER FAILS TO ENTERTAIN, THIS WEEK WILL BE THE GOOD CAPTAIN BEERO AND THE DECKS CADETS RYAN SHAW, JON WOODALL, DENNEY AND JAMES BARNSLEY. TICKETS FOR THE VOYAGE WILL BE PRICED AT £5 IF YOU GET YOUR NAME ON THE EVENT WALL, M.O.T.D
THE FOLLOWING WEEK WILL BE VERYVERYWRONGINDEEDS TIM SHERIDAN WITH TRISTAN DA CUNHA AND JAMES HOLROYD.
THE END OF THE MONTH'S LINE UP WILL BE ANNOUNCED SHORTLY BUT IF WE HAVENT PROVED IT BY NOW YOU CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON QUALITY AT BASICS. I'M SURE YOU WILL AGREE A LITTLE BIT OF BASICS IS BETTER THAN ALL OF NO BASICS.
REST ASSURED THIS IS JUST A TEMPORARY CONTINGENCY PLAN RATHER THAN CLOSING FOR THE SUMMER, WE WILL BE HITTING BACK HEAVY FROM SEPTEMBER WITH RADIOSLAVE, JAMES ZABIELA AND A VERY SPECIAL CIRCOCLOCO PARTY!!
SO PEOPLE KEEP THE FAITH AS YOU ALWAYS HAVE AND LETS GET THROUGH THIS TOGETHER.
ONCE AGAIN A BACK TO BASICS FIRST, THIS IS SURELY THE FIRST TIME YOU HAVE HAD A MAIL FROM A CLUB THAT'S BEING THIS HONEST BUT WE FELT YOU DESERVED TO KNOW THE TRUTH AND NOT COVER IT OVER WITH BULL****. THE FACTS ARE THE FACTS, WE ARE IN A RECESSION SESSION DON'T GET CAUGHT WITH POSESSION AND LETS PARTY!
YOU KNOW HOW MUCH YOU ALL MEAN TO ME, YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THERE.
IF YOU STILL BELIEVE IN BASICS NOW IS THE TIME TO SHOW IT – VOTE WITH YOUR FEET AND WILL SEE YOU ON THE DANCEFLOOR.
LOVE YOU LONG TIME

Will have to make a few visits. I saw the website had been down but never gave it a second thought.
