about sofacom

It all kicked off around 1993 when Pete started doing some unusual DJ/ambient installations with DJ Merkin (aka Reg Tubby) at The Waterfront in Norwich - Brian Eno mixed in with live cricket commentary from the World service through an echo machine - that sort of thing.

Seriously snoozy, all night sets of lounge and electronica. There were a lot of umbrellas hanging from the ceiling too for some reason and 1970s video games and assorted items through a video projector.

This turned into the SOFA club, a unique event for those times with board games, ambient music, live acts, drinks delivered to your table and we'd turn the music down if people said it was too loud.

When Pete and Reg moved to London and Sheffield respectively it proved kind of difficult keeping a weekly event going in Norwich - so the SOFA club nights have not happened for a long time. I wouldn't rule it out completely tho'.....
