it's exactly ten years ago to the day since the first ever sketchy!!!!

to mark such a momentous occasion (you'll probably hear about it on CNN later) we're doubling the guestlist both here, over at our facebook page (message will go out tonight so join up!) and on my twitter.

but first up - fill in the form on this page (please just ask for yourself and try and give a request)

for the record then.... sketchy started life in a bar in newcastle, set up by myself and my mate rich, with bands and DJs playing every week for a month, when it became obvious no one really cared. in january 2002 it move to auntie annies - on wednesday nights for a year we had some of our favourite northern irish bands play alongside various DJs. then we moved to the menagerie for monthly parties on a saturday night. next we took over the second room at the garrick bar at a club run by phil kieran and myself called 'bender'.

then, in november 2005, sketchy started at the stiff kitten :-)

been an interesting few years.....
