Dave Pearce Rekindles Dance Nostalgia In Newquay

November 8th 2019 | Berties, Newquay

We sent Lisa our event reviewer to Newquay to catch one of the best-loved 90s dance music DJs, Dave Pearce who was headlining affairs. The event was organised by ' DJinCornwall ' who are behind an increasing number of interesting events - such as silent discos at the Eden Project and headline trance DJs at the Penventon Hotel in Redruth!

Event Review

Lisa says
Now I'm a 40-something, a Friday night clubbing has long-since been replaced with paddle boarding, yoga or simply collapsed in a heap on the living room floor after yet another stressful week at work. When I was given the opportunity to hit the dance floor with Dave Pearce (DP) on the DJ decks, I jumped at the opportunity to scrape myself off the floor, dust off my Adidas gazelles and dance through the night.

"Rarely have I been on a night out where the atmosphere was so electric and everyone was just there for a good time."

Being relatively new to Cornwall, Bertie's was not a place I had visited before but I knew it by reputation. Surveying the room upon entry, Bertie's has that right mix of ingredients that means it will be etched into your memory banks forever; dark sticky carpets, podiums and small booths surrounding the dancefloor.

There was a mix of characters there that night; those enjoying the first flushes of nightclub experience and an older crowd strictly there for Dave Pearce and a glimpse back into our youth. DP eventually hit the decks at 12:20 and the entire crowd erupted. For the duration of his set the majority of the crowd were dancing and singing, conducted by the man himself from the DJ box. I even spotted a couple of dedicated dancers who had managed to bring along their own glow sticks for the occasion.

Lisa Brennan & Co At Rewind With Dave Pearce

Those not involved on the dance floor were busily filming the entire spectacle from their mobile phones. Rarely have I been on a night out where the atmosphere was so electric and everyone was just there for a good time. The music was loud enough to feel the vibrations on your skin, they threw in lasers and the biggest disco ball I've seen in a long time. I'd forgotten just how much good trance music had been around.

At 2am, DP was done and frankly so was I. What a fantastic night!
