ALTERN-8 meets ELEV-8, 11th March

CTRob

Ministry FM & Elev8 has long strived to bring the biggest and best dance nights/music to Dublin. We’ve brought you some of the best in Irish talents and this time we’ve spared no efforts to bring 2 guys who’ve been around a long time, and to a lot of folk symbolise old skool.. 'ALTERN-8'.
The Altern-8 guys formed in 1989 and have since captured imaginations around the world with their two man show, showcasing their unbelievable producing/DJing talents (these guys are the real three deck masters), and we're delighted to announce they're coming to Dublin.
Fresh from their tours of Ibiza, Germany, Finland, Brazil amongst others.. They have agreed to hook up with the Elev8 crew, for a once off possibly never to be seen again event.
Altern-8 will be performing a three hour set mixing up some of the best in 90’s house, along with some of there own worldwide smash hits like 'Evapor8' and 'Activ8'- tracks that received such huge response that they hit the top ten in the UK charts- prompting a performance on ‘Top Of The Pops’ in the early nineties .
Altern-8 have collaborated with some of the biggest names in the industry over the years i.e. Prodigy, Kraftwork, Derrick May to name but a few … so we are very happy to announce that they will be bringing their undoubtable talent to the Belvedere Hotel on the 11th March for a night that has already been earmarked as one of the biggest nights of 2006..
As mentioned above the event takes place in the Belvedere Hotel, which has limited capacity of under 300, but makes for an explosive atmosphere- so be advised to get there early, this will definitely be one not to miss

EDIT: Well done lads, this will be a stomper of a gig!! Cya all there CTRob

Sometime in June ......good news about our Badger as well ....

super d quote ...
Collected the badger from the managment in the Belvedere yesterday.. wanna see the people sitting having their lunch watching me walk in- then walk back out with a badger rapped in tinfoil
Manager said his staff were on the verge of leaving.. everytime they walked into the kitchen they almost had a a heart attack.. thought it was a giant rat looking at them Poor badger..

But little did he know when being killed he was going to go on to be the celebrity badger that he is today..
