It seems a long time ago now, but we're sure all of you who came will agree
that flashbacks first bash was a great success! First of all we would like to
thank everyone who came, especially those of you who dressed up and those of you
with your natural rude boy / girl accents... Nice one Ket and Kanch (and
congratulations)!!! Also thanks to the pregnant women at the top looking after
the door and tickets!!!
We sold all but a handful of the 430 available tickets in advance, with the
remainder going within 10 minutes of opening the doors. The final count showed
over 400 people came through the door, and all you people strutting your stuff
on the dance floor probably felt the crowd.
The musical flavas on the night were the cream of the 80s and 90s. From the
base of swing, soul and hip-hop, to the twist of jungle and the sprinkle of
ragga, we covered all the genres that made 80s and 90s music special for us.
We have collected a few pictures from the night if you have any you would
like to add to our collection, please send them to photos@flashback2001.com.
So, how much did you raise, we hear you ask; well, total ticket sales and
donations raised £4400. We were also pledged a further £1467 by 3i Group. A total donation of £5867 was
presented to the Gujarat Earthquake Relief Fund (GERF). For more information
check the charity section.
Thank yous
First and foremost, a big thank you to all of you that decided to support
this event by buying tickets. Another big thank you goes to 3i Group for making
the single biggest contribution. We would also like to thank all the people who
gave their time to make flashback a big success, too many to mention but you
know who you are. A huge big-up to all the old-boy (we're not kidding!) DJs on
the night: DJ J.I.T., Da Funksta and Quartz FM
