This night was an
exclusive night and was strictly guest list only. We started
the night off on a little adventure as we eagerly attempted to
find the venue Copyright. We were in the right area but for
some reason we just could not interpret the map properly.
After 20 minutes of circling, trying to find the venue, we
eventually reached ’Copyright'.
On entering the venue I
must say I was very impressed with the layout of club. There
was a total contrast between the grey street outside and the
inside of the club (a tall brick wall opposite, office
buildings and more brick walls). The word one would use to
describe copyright is that it was 'Chic.'
Promotion City loved the
large mirrors in the corridor between the two rooms although
at times they can be addictive. We must take time to mention
the toilet as they were not at all cramped as most club
toilets usually are. These toilets were bright, clean and
spacious somewhat like the club. A thumbs up here, we think!.
The ravers inside were
enjoying themselves and doing their own thing, this crowd had
been handpicked so a vibe like this was only to be expected.
With the DJ’s laying down all the crowd’s favourite tunes and
spinning all those up front and classic RnB, Bashment, Old
Skool Garage, Jungle and Rare Grove beats.
The ravers simply complied
with the rules of raving and 'got down’ in the only way, good
ravers know how!’ As the photographs clearly illustrate the
dress-code was sexy and slick, with an assorted array of
different styles, the ladies looked very well put together,
but the gents I’m sorry to say where most definitely upstaged
and failed to impress me!
Overall an enjoyable night
was had by all and this was definitely one of those nights
which concentrated on quality not quantity as even though it
was not a very large crowd it was very clear why people had
kicked off their slippers and put on their party shoes.
If you’re interested in
obtaining guestlist for future Departure Lounges nights then
register on the Promotion City Guest List Section and we shall
do all the rest!
