Dear All~folks many thanks for your unrivalled support over at the Sanctuary in B'ham for our first nite there on Fri April 5th last. Turnout was the hardcore AO following that made it the event it was and from feedback we've had it certainly went down well across the board. The tunes got back into line with the hard driving Aura O. feel that put us on the map in the first place and the décor took the first layer off your corneas as it should do!! Stunning! The 6watt full colour laser decided to play ball with just the two colours on this occasion but we'll be sure to have the full white light (..walk towards it..) complement at our next present of a gig for all you party folk out there…
….yeah baby we're throwing a free one back at the Sanctuary inviting all you shakers to come get some of that madness outa ya on FRI MAY 17TH ~ 10 till 6am ~ check the enclosed flyer.
