Just wanted to say, what a top night. The place was packed and the music was spot on all night. Been a while since we've been down (despite the fact that it's only 20 mins from our house). But this night just get's better and better.

People had travelled from all over the country to hear the post in crossover and 70's soul. Everybody is really friendly and despite the bitter cold it was rammed allnight.

All the dj's were excellent as usaul but stand out for me, as always, was Arther Fenn. The man doesn't have a bad tune.

Thanks Again and look forward to the next night, we won't leave it so long next time.

Cheers

Gareth and Janice

Aye well done to the 2 lovely ladies karen and marie ,good friendly folk and music to match all round..they say our crowd are too serious ah couldn't be more wrong more nutters than ya could shake a stick at .. certainly a success in what is the most difficult niche of our scene to promote the upfront soul nite !

We had a brilliant night at the Canal Tavern, the place was packed out and what a great venue!!!!
The atmosphere was electric, as soon as you walked through the door it hit you......

Lovely to see Kirsty and Michael, Dave and Kate, Annette and Mark, Christine and Rob, Debbie and Craig, Martin Dixon and Spot......

Eventhough I'm a 60s girl at heart I loved the music , well done to all concerned you have a wonderful soulful venue and hopefully I'll be back...

Love

Rosemary and Kyle

I really enjoyed my first night at Thorne, good music and atmosphere, the only downside was my hangover from the previous night which prevented full on party mode taking over as it normally does after about 2 pints!!

Ste

how packed was it??.Fantastic atmosphere,everyone up for chatting all night!.Hardly got near the dancefloor.
Always good to see Tats n Alison,Bully,Cliff,,,,,Kirsty,Spot n Gail,Paul n Sue,Howard etc....Tried to find Northern Nev and Mark Whiteley,never quite managed to get to you( or to the record sales.).
The Roses tin came out towards the end of the nite,prefer Ferrero Rocher mesen .Top Nite

Arthur Fenn made it an extremely worth while trip,
What a legend, superb set!!

Great Nite, Never shut me mouth from arriving to going home, apart from when i was
ferrying me passengers coats, handbags and fook knows what else back to the car
Loads of great people to chat to, think Andy Dyson put it in a nutshell
Great chat with Incognito, putting The Notts and Mansfield Soul Scene to rights
Oh and The Music, Quality

Regards

Paul

Just want to say a big thank-you to Karen and Maria for a really great night. The music was fantastic all night - Maria, Arthur and Butch - the dream team or what?
Thanks especially to Karen who, despite having a truly awful cold, not to mention the small matter of a night to run, provided 5 star accommodation for me and Adi and Yann and Kim, making our trip from London even more worthwhile She even managed to conjure up a winter wonderland in the morning with the view from the window looking like a Christmas Card - amazing!!!!!!!

I managed to find the Quality street just as we were leaving - who ate all the hazelnuts????

We'll be back for sure!!

Well done girls x
Leona

Us 3 'soul sisters' had a great time. (my younger sis's first ever soul night). A first for all of us at Boomerang and we really enjoyed the music and atmosphere. I could not believe how busy it was at 9pm! It was lovely to see so many 'southern' faces in our little old home town .

Nicki, Tracey & Lilly.

Sorry we never got to chat Kev,no doubt our paths will cross again soon.
I fortunately did manage to bump into Mark at the bar and had a great lengthy chat ,infact i spent most of the night bumping into and chatting to fellow sourcers.It was almost a soulsource night out
Finally got to meet Mo and Mick after a few near misses,two top people indeed.Tats,Bully ,the Boro boys,Flanny and his lovely lass Debbie,Mick&Kirsty......Maria and Karen(nurse Gladys )who made me and my good soul friend and travelling companion Suzannek feel so at ease as soon as we entered the door.Good to meet and chat to John Durant and anybody else i forgot to mention.
Infact i even spotted a lovely lady from York(Sue) who works in the post office where i used to post my records,never even knew she was into soul,small world indeed!

Absolutley loved everything about the place,Andy Dyson summed it up perfectly,such a great vibe and friendly bunch of people just simply having a great time.Very appreciative of what was on offer.

People just seemed to be up for a great night out ,maybe we just value quality time and are making the most of it before getting back to the daily grinde that is every day life.

Must also praise all dj's for some fantastic tunes from beginning to end,and for being so down to earth and nice with it .

Only worrying thing for me is ,if this place gets any more popular they'll need new premises,it was rammed full from very early on till finish and to think Middleton Allnighter was also on

A big thanx to Suzannek for getting me there and back safely

Well done all involved in Boomerang Thorne

Keep up the great work you do

Nev

I'll just echo the sentiments already made......top night as allways.....great people, great atmosphere and great music

Just like to echo what Northern Nev said. Was great 60s and 70s soul played. Judging by the dancefloor was some good modern stuff played also (though not personally into modern soul). I thought there was a good mix of music played overall.

Was good to see Kirsty and Mick and Sharon Soul Kitten

Oh and thanx for the lolly

Also thanx to my special soul friend Northern Nev for looking after me.

Suz

To echo what has already been said, absolutley top notch

Superb Music
Buzzin atmosphere
Friendly People
Oh.............................and Draught Guiness

We arrived around 9 and could barely get in! a real packer, nice to meet up with Northern Nev at last - (always at the bar though seems we drink in synchronisation ) met/spoke to lots of people and saw/waved to lots more accross a crowded room and never got to speak
Spent our time with the Donny gang (Howard, Debs. Paul n Sue) & Russ n Jackie from Barnsley


As Leona said earlier Aurthur, Maria, Butch the Dream Team - oh yes!

We'll be back for more next time
