Cocktail returns! Cocktails returns!!! These were the familiar cries greeted to us in and around the capital prior to this event. After a lively last Cocktail the question on everyone’s lips was how would this 4^th Cocktail proceed? With the promoters taking heed of comments from the previous Cocktail and issuing signs on traffic boards and tickets clearly marked ‘Get there Early!!’ and ‘This is  a Ticket Only event’ it was clear to see that the raver’s were hopeful that the few creases from the last event could be ironed out! 

It seems like only yesterday when the first cocktail started 1 year ago in which it celebrated Squeaky and Longers Birthday. This was Cocktails 1^st Anniversary and again also celebrated these two G-Ents stars birthdays.

Cocktail was held once again at the players club in East Ham, East London. There were a few things that you have come to expect from cocktail events. The first is a lot of anticipation and hype! The second thing is lots and lots of glamorous people coming out to make an effort! And lastly an excellent standard of music supplied by your Cocktail ‘residents’ G-Ents, Elliot Ness & Daze, Studio Express, Special Touch, D-Tee, Cover Up. 

We, I must say, we were blessed with all of the above; however as the dictionary definition of cocktail states, this was ‘a mixture of different things, which created something unexpected and exciting.’ Cocktail is currently a victim of its own success…The unique effect of providing people with what they want to hear and creating the right type of vibe has had an adverse effect to say the least. The simple fact of the matter is that the demand from the raver to experience and be part of this night has outgrown the ‘home’ of Cocktail- Players Club, just like Arsenal have outgrown their stadium and home ‘Highbury’. Hundreds of unhappy people once again could not get into the club to be a part of Cocktails 1^st anniversary even though the promoters had stressed that this was a ticket only event and you must arrive early.

I would like to reiterate once again that musically Cocktail was more than on point even though the ravers had to experience some of the highest temperatures in a rave I have ever witnessed in a dance. Feedback received from ravers in the dance and after the dance also backed this up. 

I have been assured that the ‘home’ of Cocktail is being looked at which can only mean good things to the ravers who want to see Cocktail maximise its true potential!! The promoters have PROMISED The Happy Cocktail days will RETURN!!
