SE1 is a bit rubbish, i agree… tho i saw Errol Alkan and 2manydjs there once, and that was class. :love:

whilst i agree with ya, house is a broad church, and it covers some pretty shit music, (just like all genres!) as well as the decent stuff.

these folks obviously are under-exposed to quality underground house, but thems the breaks… so to speak! 😉

I dont see many towny bints in the woods, so i couldnt comment on Tranzmission really… its a different world down south! :laugh_at:

It’ll soon be warm again, and when a man needs a 99, he needs a 99…:crazy:

from the Grauniad…

A car insurer admitted today it refuses to cover musicians despite featuring Iggy Pop in its adverts.

The veteran rocker is the star of swiftcover’s “Get a life. Get swiftcovered” campaign. But although the 61-year-old American is best known for singing hits such as Lust for Life, it has emerged that the online insurance firm has been turning down people who work in the music and entertainment industry for car insurance, citing higher levels of risk and potential claims costs as its reasons.

The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) said it has launched an investigation after receiving complaints from those deemed ineligible because of their jobs. Tim Soong, who plays bass guitar in Roguetune, told London’s Evening Standard he planned to report swiftcover to the ASA. “The customer services operator told me they don’t insure musicians,” he said. “When I mentioned Iggy Pop, she said his case was different because he is American.”

A spokesman for the ASA said: “We have received 12 complaints and we are formally investigating those complaints. They have challenged whether it is misleading to suggest Iggy Pop has insurance with swiftcover because its website states that those who work in entertainment cannot take out a car insurance policy with that insurer.”
The ASA will publish its adjudication in due course, the spokesman added.

Tina Shortle, marketing director of swiftcover.com, said Iggy Pop had been chosen as the face of its advertising “because he loves life, not because he is a musician. He is an actor demonstrating the benefits of swiftcover.com.”

She added: “Insurance premiums are based on a number of different data, including the historic claims costs swiftcover.com has witnessed for specific occupations.

“This means that we do not provide cover to some professions that, according to that data, have a higher level of claims costs. The reason swiftcover.com doesn’t cover people in the ‘entertainment business’ is due to the risk of personal injury.”

Swiftcover’s list of uninsurable occupations also includes gambling, modelling, professional sport, bailiffs and bodyguards.
