Anyone going to the SB this weekend ?
Then they got rid of the food and changed the decor to an eye-gouging colour scheme. I went there exactly once. I had locked myself out of the flat, and it was the only place open.
I would be interested to know what the owner was thinking when he made the change. The place was almost constantly empty.
Your going BACK to N6 !
Sooo , you're a bloody foreigner are you ?
Have you got a Visa to visit N4 ? lol
And Davies & Davies was where I used to get outfitted for my school uniforms for Stroud Green Junior and Stationers Company School ( now gone to the old school cemetery in the sky ).
Oh , the Old Dairy was a odds n sods shop called Pams.

LOL!
Just a quick note to address your comments @ADGS...
The double-booking you're referring to was unfortunate and we tried to resolve things with the Black Plastic girls as soon as it was identified, by being as flexible as possible about the format of their night so it could still go ahead as planned. As you rightly point out, it was our mistake that they found out about this from our general mailout, rather than a direct communication from us.
I can assure you that we're pretty competent at what we do and I can only apologise that since we're human, mistakes are sometimes made! All our current promoters, as well as the promoters we've worked with in the past have always been impressed with our level of professionalism and friendliness, so it's a shame to judge us on one small slip-up!
I am a big fan of The Silver Bullet and Black Plastic was the best night you had, so it is a shame you didn't honour their booking. Agreed it is only one mistake, but to a club that runs only 4 times a year (I think), having one of their nights cancelled is a very big deal.
One slip-up would have been if you'd booked the new night over the top of Black Plastic, realised the mistake, and regretfully informed the new promotion that they'd have to skip a week. Now I no longer work in club listings, I wouldn't even have heard about one slip-up. I could at this stage be uncharitable and say that given that, maybe the one slip-up stage happens quite often.
But you didn't. You failed to honour the first booking. Second slip-up. And then failed to even notify the promoters of that in person. I count three 'slip-ups', or one really ugly compound one.
We immediately identified that there was a clash with the pre-booked September Black Plastic night. We were deciding on how best to manage this (e.g. offering Black Plastic a new night on a Saturday, trying to integrate the 2 nights, etc.) before approaching them with options.
Our mistake was to not inform the Black Plastic promoters of the situation at the earliest possible occasion to try and resolve things, which is why they spotted the listings.
@JaneDoe We completely agree that Black Plastic is/was one of our best nights and it was very unfortunate that we weren't able to alter the date or integrate the two nights. We are still chatting to the girls to remedy things and hope to move forward positively.
Hope everyone's able to come to an agreement. I enjoyed the nights at Bardens and would love to see it set up so close to home in a good venue.
(Oh, and I've been on the end of similar booking mishaps in the past. They are painful and frustrating, but life is too short to dwell on these things.)
