Mr C (on
www.4four.org) on why he's not at Underground anymore. The same is true for VVVWI:
"ok...... here it is straight from the horses mouth.
Lewis Pennington is the promoter & DJ booker of Underground.
4 years ago he was asked to join the team booking DJs & promoting the nights in an underground fashion with no flyers or posters or any other type of advertising whatsoever other than word of mouth & sms messages. He pulled this off because he's an amazing bloke that really believes in this **** & is completely hooked up & respected by ALL in Ibiza.
Lewis was promised some shares in the club from from the 50% shareholder (the english guy, not the other 2 spanish guys who gave the english guy 50% to turn it around 4 yeras ago, so the english guy was meant to give Lewis half of his 50%) if Lewis turned it around which he did in his 1st year making Thursdays there a fantastic night which i played at in that year 3 times.
Lewis then went on to bring in Superfreq on a weekly basis which became the biggest night in the club & he continued bringing in all of the talent for Thursdays & then Saturdays turning Underground into 1 of the best venues on the island.
4 years down the road Lewis still hasn't been given his shares which is deplorable & has caused huge arguments that even turned into fisty cuffs last season.
Now Lewis has left until they give him his due shares & any DJ worth his name & reputation should stand by Lewis as this is the guy that booked them all in the 1st place & made it happen.
To be fair to Bill Patrick, he probably dont know what's happening as Lewis still hasn't made it common knowledge on the island which he will be doing over the coming days. As far as Billy 'probably' knows, the reason he was playing last night is because my Mother has only days left to live & i'm thereofre spending as much remaining time with my mum as possibe.
It's true i wouldn't have been there last night or next week because of this but, I would have personally picked the replacement DJ myself with Lewis & it would still be Superfreq at Underground as usual.
As it now stands.... unless Lewis is given his shares in the next few days, Superfreq will be seeking another small venue where we can continue to do free party's for the lovely people of Ibiza.
I feel so sorry for the 2 spanish owners who are real sweet hearts who can do nothing about the english guy not giving up part of his shares. I really like the said English guy too so this makes it all very difficult for me emotionally but i will be completely standing behind my good friend lewis throught this whole saga.
There it is, I will keep you all posted with all further developments!
Love 'n' hugs,
-x-Richard."
