We here at The Doctor's Orders are sad to announce the closure of Herbal nightclub our home for the last 4+ years. It came as something of a shock to one and all so we have therfore had to postpone our Def Jam vs Motown event planned for Friday 6th November for the time being until we find a suitable venue for the event.
Watch this space.
While continuing with all our other events as planned (see below) we are already exploring options for a new home for London's No.1 Hip-Hop party and will be coming back bigger and better than ever in 2010.
The party is not over!
In the meantime we would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone that made all our events at Herbal such a massive success and so much fun. From the venue managment, bar and door staff, all the punters that came through the doors and danced their bums off to the phenomenal acts and DJs that performed for us over the years. It is to these tons of talent that a special thank you goes out. From the launch party back in July 2005 with DJ Cash Money we have been blessed with sets from the following….
DJ Maseo (De La Soul), Royce Da 5'9", Frank & Dank, Guilty Simpson, DJ Spinna, J-Rawls, Bobbito, DJ Evil Dee, Phat Kat, Kon & Amir, Shortee Blitz, Benji B, DJ Vadim, DJ Babu, Waajeed, Skinnyman, Jehst, House Shoes, Andy Bird, Pete From BBE, Sarah Love, J-Rawls, John Robinson, Kila Kella, The Nextmen, Blak Twang, Yungun, The Herbaliser, Mystro, Marc Mac, Mr Thing, DJ Mk, Lowkey, Kidkanevil, Taskforce, Blackbeard, Jazzman Gerald, Morgan Spacek, Bruce Wayne, Stig of the Dump, Dr Syntax, DJ Nonames, DJ Hooch, Evergreen, Jeremy Newall, Johnny Reckless, Harry Love, DJ Kayper, J-Star, Kutmasta Kurt, Mark B, Chris Read, DJ Lok, The Last Skeptik, A-Cyde, Kashmere, Micall Parknsun…. & of course our one and only resident Spin Doctor.
The last word goes to him…
"I can not thank everyone that has passed through The Doctor's Orders doors, in whatever capacity, enough! Everyone played their part in building a party better than we could have ever hoped for with incredible memories and performances that I personally will cherish forever. There are relationships forged at the nights that I know will last for the rest of my life and am certain this is true of many of our regulars. I have had the pleasure of meeting and working so many incredible people that have become great friends that I feel truely blessed."
"While I am sad to see the end of this era I believe that as one door closes another one opens and look forward to the experiences, relationships and memories sure to come when we relaunch The Doctor's Orders at a new home. We look forward to seeing old friends and making new ones when that happens but in the meantime I just want to thank you all again from the bottom of my heart for your continued support not only of The Doctor's Orders but more importantly of real music, real Hip-Hop and real artists. Without you we are nothing!"
