This is what SvD had to say...from his January 2007 Mailing!
It was then into Xmas week, I had got no presents so this stop solved it all. I played at The Gallery on Dec 22nd for their Xmas members party and as always it was a great night. The next day I was booked to be a surprise guest for the Vaccine room at Turnmills for the www.harderfaster.net Xmas party. It was unusual playing at 6pm on a Saturday in London at Xmas....but a good gig. Once I finished I was picked up by my new Publicity agent Jonathan who happens to be welsh, and headed to Cardiff to play Time Flies in Cardiff with Judge Jules. I cannot remember such a response from such an intimate club. Despite the fact it was now Christmas Eve in Wales, it was packed. I kept hearing my name over the music, and I am sure Jonathan is still having nightmares! Cardiff is definitely somewhere I am looking forward to playing in 2007, I am liking the Welsh.
December 26th is a big clubbing night in the UK so I had been booked to play the Planet Love Winter Party in Belfast with Marco V and Mauro Picotto. As well as that I had Gatecrasher in Sheffield. Forgive me if I sound pretentious here, but the only way to cross the Irish seas was by private jet. It was my first private jet and I did it with Marco V, who as you will all know has been my inspiration for so long...Antoine from Second Sun, my manager and his brother. We had such a laugh, and it was such a great experience! Both gigs rocked but I hardly had 5 minutes to spare when I finished in Crasher as I had a flight from Birmingham at 9am to go and play in Trinidad.
I played at the Zen club, it was open air with beautiful weather and such friendly people, thanks to Johnny for his hospitality!!
By now the travelling, the late nights, the numerous beers, vodka and champagne were starting to take its toll on my body but I had one last gig to do.
The Boom Boom Rooms in Windsor, Canada. The gig was sold out back in November so I knew I was in for a good night. I ended up playing a 3.5 hour set and did not want to get off the decks, the crowd rocked right until the lights came on and were refusing to leave. Thanks to Remo and Co in Windsor.
So that was December with me. Right now I have just made it to Costa Rica where my phone is off, I can’t get an internet connection... and my girlfriend is very happy! When you next see me I’ll be sporting a fantastic and well earned tan. Let’s hope 2007 is good for us all.
Take care
A recovering Sander.
