What people are saying

Of the titbits we’re gathering, here are some great remarks about Simple already...

“when you think of Oxford you think of bicycles, not mini-raves!  Simple has to be one of the best kept secrets in the country, a dark 'n' dingy club, with a riotous atmosphere to suit.  Hopefully I'll be back for some Simple action next year.  Although next time I'll be sure to bring my glowsticks!”
- Mark of the Trophy Twins after their gig, November 2007

“Thanks a lot for having us down, we had a good night.  We were really well looked after by Nick and everyone.  It's always great to play to different types of crowds and Simple seem to get a really up-for-it mixed bag.  We look forward to coming back soon!”
- Audiojack after their gig, October 2007

“I love Simple!  That’s one of my favourite gigs ever ... see you next time...”
- Annie Mac chatting with Simple ressie, James, on her BBC Radio 1 show, 3rd August 2006, before he won Twelve Inches of 12s!

“...Simple has really kicked off this year in superb style.” ...read more
- Notion Magazine 016, April 2006

“Good room, good sound system, good people... what more could you ask for?!”
- Mr C after his gig, March 2006

“Thanks... It was top!”
- Justin Robertson after his gig, February 2006

“We’ve been to quite a few nights over the last month in Brighton, Plymouth, Manchester and Oxford.... your night was the best. And I ain’t just saying that, it was (as your name suggests) Simple - but highly effective. Quality venue, quality sound system, quality beats and quality people. We’ll definitely be down again soon as it’s easy to drive back home on the night... I’ll bring a load of mates down too.”
- IDJ Reviewer and Photographer at Annie Mac’s gig, December 2005.

“I had a really good time, The Bully went right off!”
- Sir Norman Jay after his gig, November 2005

Top 5 clubs in the South:  “‘Funk fuelled sexy sick house music for the generation with twisted melons!’  If they can knock out music policy statements like that imagine how good the actual night is.  They shouldn’t disappoint this month as DJ Touché touches down at The Bully.”
DJ Mag No.00/Vol.04

“A proper crowd up for proper house music”
- Groove Armada's Tom Findlay after his gig, February 2005

“...top top House nights in Oxford.”
- Marcus on Mac Chat, BBC Radio 1 website

Top 5 clubs in the South:  “[Simple.] As the name suggests this really is going down in the backroom of a pub but with Mutiny on the decks who gives a fuck.  Terms including roadblock, hands in the air and frenzy don’t come close.  You’d best just visit!”
