Home Is Where the Heart Is Madders Returns!! The legendary co founder and one stop party shop Madders has gone back to his beloved Sundissential and that’s official. After a much bitter and public spilt with his partner Danny Kirk, the two of them have recently decided to bang their heads together, bury the hatchet and for the good of their 14 year relationship throw caution to the wind and re-ignite the spark that made Sundissential the mightiest Club this country has ever known. Sundissential will once again be re-united under the boy / girl logo that many people hold dear to their hearts. It has been obvious over the last 12 months that thousands of British clubbers have been witnessing the pulling apart of what for them has been an institution over the last 8 years. Well that’s over! – Sundissential is now in the hands of the two men that formed the greatest promotional partnership of all time – Madders & Danny. The two of them will now be working tirelessly to re-light the beacon and re-create the legend that is Sundissential. Commenting on his return Madders says “Over the last year much has been said and done in a way which has become more then public knowledge over what has gone on between both Danny & I. I for one never wanted things to end up the way they did between the both of us, unfortunately you cannot wind back the clock, and life is too short. I have known Danny for nearly 14 years, it has been like a marriage for all of that time and all relationships have there ups and downs. Constantly living life in the fast lane and being entangled both in the party lifestyle and the web of mystery of the dance music industry obviously took its toll on the both of us. What we created together was unquestionably nothing short of amazing from its humble beginnings and now both of us are back to ground zero and we will start again. I believe dearly that many thousands of staunch and loyal Sundissential followers will appreciate what both of us are doing. A line in the sand has been drawn and we march on.” Commenting on Madders return to Sundissential Danny says… “Having spent 3 days together it is obvious that none of this should ever have happened, and due to the fact that both I and Madders acted like a pair of school girls with their handbags at dawn, the situation should have been resolved many months ago. This entwined with too many outside influences was another major factor in things not being sorted out sooner, rather than allowing things to go on as they have done. Sundissential is now back to how it originally was Me & Madders taking on the world, putting a smile back on peoples faces and this time doing it right and putting Sundissential back where it truly belongs” With this in mind Madders & Danny cordially invite the biggest family in the history of British Clubbing to come and get sledged up with Santa this Sunday December 5th to celebrate Sundissential’s Christmas Party at Gatecrasher One in Sheffield from 4pm-Midnight. And of course the legendary Sundissential North super slogathon on NYD! Check this out…. The Christmas Party! Sundissential Arena: - Come & See Uncle Madders This Sunday!!

UNITED MEMBERS OF SUNDISSENTIAL, THE PAST AND THE PRESENT - UNCLE MADDERS HERE!!! This statement from me is a wholehearted thank you to each and every person in the world who has attended a Sundissential event over the last 7 years. My statement one month ago was a statement from the heart, the heart and soul of a man who for good or for bad created one of the best clubs in the World. My statement received a staggering 23,500 views, ranged across 15 of this country's leading club culture websites. The majority of these threads were in my favour. I have received over 1000 private emails to my hotmail account at madan_725@hotmail.com offering me unconditional support with reference to the theft and fraud against me undertaken by Mr Daniel Kirk and Miss Louise Crampin. If people think that Sundissential's plight one month ago was bad, then let me tell you now how bad things really are:- Facts It has only been 5 months since I have not been there. However in that time, Sundissential as a brand has gone from the top of the Premiership to the bottom of the Vauxhall Conference in the space of only 20 weeks. I stated in my previous statement, that Sundissential on a Saturday night at the Sanctuary nightclub in Birmingham was pulling in crowds of approximately 400 people. It is now worse than that. On Saturday 11th October 2003, Sundissential was thrown out of the main operating arenas of the Sanctuary and shoved into a back room of the Sanctuary and pulled a pathetic 209 people including guests for a co-promotion involving London's mighty Tripoli Trax. This is like asking Her Majesty The Queen to vacate Buckingham Palace and move into a council flat in Brixton. Saturday October 18th 2003 faired no better. Not only were they dumped into the back room again advertising the Sundissential Super Heros, a crowd of less than 400 turned up for this event! It get's worse. Sundissential have sinced been informed that they are no longer welcome to hold the events at the Birmingham Sanctuary nightclub. Never in Sundissential's 7 year history has it ever been thrown out of a nightclub for poor performance. Yet this is a fact. Their official date of being thrown out was to have been the 29th November 2003. They will state that they have left. This is not the case. Sundissential North fares even worse than HQ. The Sundissential Album Launch party on Sunday 4th October 2003, was attended by a piss poor 530 people, including guests. Bloody Hell! Club Evolution with all rooms open holds 2700 people. There would have been more cheer in a grave yard! For the next event next Sunday in Leeds, they have resorted to dumping 100's of discounted tickets onto websites in the hope that people will pick them up. Who in their right mind is going to pay £21 on the door to walk into a place with less life than a mortuary? People are no longer interested in this lifeless limp piece of [censored]. My prediction on numbers for this event after the disgrace of last month's event, is 300 people including guests and Police! Sundissential in its present form has no soul, no heart and no leadership. A recent independent survey carried out by an individual on Gurn.net has produced results stating that 72% of clubbers want Sundissential to close rather than suffer its current humiliation. Sundissential's recent statement that it is a "team effort" has backfired tremendously. Further facts include the following:- The Sundissential Student night in the City of Leeds called BASE lasted only 3 weeks. Kirk being the greedy bastard that he is, only registered the domain name baseevents.co.uk to himself back in August 2003. Better wake up Charlie! This is publically accessible information at http://www.nominet.org.uk. Sundissential have also been thrown out of Subway City, in Birmingham where Afterssential was held due to poor performance. Is there anything left for you Kirk? You and Crampin are now the laughing stock of the whole dance music industry. It is time that you and your "team" leave people with their great memories of Sundissential and not subject them to your current embarrassing offerings. In this last week, the Sundissential office has put out a statement asking everybody to "keep the faith". Anybody and everybody knows what this means. You are stating that you are on your arses, that you are trying to sort things out, so bare with us. On your arses is exactly where you are. As for me, its onwards and upwards I hope. I really miss all of you. I have spent the last 7 years giving a generation younger than me the time of their lives and memories, of which I hope they will carry with them for the rest of their lives. However, it is now time to move on. My Lawyers are now on the offensive and although this will not interest some people, many of you are interested in seeing justice prevail. Do me a favour MISS HELEN ATHERTON - the next time that you start threatening legal action against me, learn to bloody well spell. "LIBEL" is how it's spelt not "LIABLE". Perhaps you should ask Natalie for reading and writing lessons. CHECK THIS OUT - THIS FRIDAY 31 OCTOBER MADDERS HOSTS GODSKITCHEN AT THE PIMPS AND WHORES HALLOWEEN BALL TAKING PLACE AT AIR, DIGBETH, BIRMINGHAM:- THE NITROGEN ROOM FEATURING THE TIDY BOYS, ROB TISSERA.
