bit late on the uptake as I haven't been on here much lately but here we go...

nice one Pauly. As Fents said I've never been a huge fan of Fractured or Brown Alley but think that you've done a lot of really great things for D&B in this town.

There's only a handful of people around that understand the commitment and sheer amount of energy it takes to put on nights as regularly and as long as you have and I really take my hat off to you dude.

Big ups. Keep up the good work.

I'm a bit late on the uptake too, Haven't been here much.

Props to you Pauly for doing a really hard job well and always being a pleasure to deal with.

I hope it's the case of one door closing and many others opening for you.

Good luck with it all
