Karen and I could not have wished for a better night, with a very healthy turnout and lots of smiles all round. We want to thank :thumbsup: everyone again for being there and also MickH, Arthur Fenn & Trev Thomas for playing that luscious vinyl for us all.

My camera disappeared early (somewhere on stage :thumbsup: ), so it may be a few days before I get Karen's pics up on the website www.boomerangsoul.co.uk - please visit us soon. Per numerous requests, I am also chasing playlists and hope to post those up soon.

We're very pleased to announce our upcoming dates for "Boomerang" at the Canal Tavern in Thorne:

Saturday 12th May

A 'back to Thorne' special!

Gary Welsh

+ tba

Saturday 4th August

Soul Sam

Andy Whitmore

Saturday 10th November

===== All join regular guest Arthur Fenn & resident Maria O =====

BOOMERANG ~ Featuring quality 60s and 70s soul

....We both hope you 'keep coming back' - just like a boomerang! wink.gif

Can't believe I am the first to report about what was an awesome night of music and a welcome return to Doncaster for quality soul , we usually have to travel up to an hour for music like this.

Never went 1st time round but will certainly be regulars now.

Brilliant stuff from all DJ's concerned especially Mick H's almost 2 hour spot at the end.

Shame about the Ice rink , sorry dance floor but that did not spoil what was the best soul night for some time IMO, a bit less talc needed next time me thinks.

Credit to Maria,Arthur,Karen and anyone else involved in organising this and the 3 future events for 2007, can't wait.

Nice to see Pete and Gail back in the land of the living, I'm sure you'll make up for it in the coming weeks, see you at Frobisher next Sat.

See You All Soon

Paul & Sue, Doncaster. :thumbsup::thumbsup:thumbsup.gif

Great night Maria & co :thumbsup:

Was great to be back in't Canal Tavern but everything seemed back to front for some reason, probably me as a few pints have been downed since the likes of Fish, Welshy & Rod ran it.

Get onto't dj's backs for the playlists as me & Steve want to know what the track Mick played was. Can't remember what it was called but he said it got it's 1st play last week at Lifeline but for some reason we both knew it.

Thanks for the lift as well Steve :thumbsup:

Roll on May 12th.

Speaking to Karen this morning, she said a few people slipped on the wet floor :thumbsup: . We plan to monitor things better next time.

Really pleased that so many came and enjoyed it, but obviously the nerves and planning are back in readiness for the next one :yes: .

I'm really lucky to have Karen doing this with me, as she's been working really hard to get the word out there - with flyers and phone calls and hammering the venues. Thankfully she hardly let me near the door last night, coz I was not the designated driver :thumbsup: and tweaking the sound equipment (badly) was about all I could manage.

I'll print and send Karen these posts as she'll be thrilled to read them (I'll exclude this one off course shhh.gif )

Both of us just want a good night out to hear the kind of soul music we love, see lots of smiles - and without always travelling so far

Hopefully with your support, we can fullfill our selfish needs :D

Also, aside from the DJs - a big thank you to Pete, Malayka, Gary, Arthur and Dave for being our very willing helpers/supporters :thumbsup:

Totally agree with the comments above I really enjoyed the first Boomerang and shift work permitting will return for the next one. The music played was really good, some I knew and others I thought well this is interesting, so can you expedite the playlists please. Everyone who was there seemed to enjoy the night as well, echoing PS-Souls comments if Boomerang hadnt been on I would have probably headed for the Rothwell with the Hemsworth Soul Sisterhood but sometimes you have to make a difficult choice and I decided that it would be better to try and support a first night. I will still attempt to get to the Rothwell at some point in the future though as I've heard some good things about it.

My ladyfriend who attended Boomerang with me enjoyed the night as well considering it was her first time ever at a Soul function. See you at the Earl

Keep up the good work,

Dave

So pleased to hear it was a roaring success - but I knew it would be. You've got all the right ingredients going for you, and the philosophy behind Boomerang is spot on.

So sorry we couldn't come but we'd spent half the day in A&E with Johns mystery 'dislocated' shoulder, and with me suffering from Bird Flu - it was like Holby City Chez Nightingale yesterday.

Love to my Soul Sisters and congratulations on your innaugaural night.

Ali (waving snotty hanky in your direction :thumbsup: )

Great night out, Maria and Karen did a great job, had a fab night out. Thanks Shaun and Steve for getting Che and Morgan to the venue safe and sound from Brough. So cool to see so many old mates, Tats was on top form and 'man mountain' Buddy. See you at the next one, did feel a bit spooky being back at the Tavern after so many years.

Big thanks to our landlady, Karen for the night, awesome video of Al Wilson, Pete. :thumbsup:

Thank's all for an excellent nite - so pleased Marie n Karen that you had a great turnout, tbh don't think you could have got many more in.. Very relaxed atmosphere and everyone in good spirits enjoying good music and company.... :thumbsup:

Noticed the dance floor became too slippy towards the end of the night, but apart from that spot on.....

Well done Marie, Karen n all the dj's for a top nite... :thumbsup:

Karen

What a top night I'm still recovering. Ouch :thumbsup: . All good reports from me Louby Shaun & Robin, we had a right adventure. It was a night to remember. I just wish I could......... remember

Indeedy tats was on top form especially picking Belita Woods 'magic Corner' up for a tenner. So he said anyway.

We thought it was great and just right to be on every 3 months. It won't get overkill or stale that way.

Well done Maria, Kazza, Arthur and everyone. Sorry if any of us were pests, i think it's a Hull thing generally :rolleyes:

Steve & Louby (& Shaun & Robin)

Hats off to all concerned on putting on a great night :thumbsup:

I think the Man Mountain you meant "Buddy" is me Dave BULLY!

Great Night What I can remember off it!

Great to see the likes of Chalky, who even though we live in the same town, I ain't seen in years out.

I hope that this is just the beginning of what could well be a great night in the making!

I certainly had a great time, although I must apologoise to Arthur for hurting his leg. That was because you let Tats have the Belita Wooods and Not ME! And yes Steve, it was a tenner. I was there when he bought it. Also a bargain on the Rozetta Johnson. Good Old Tats, he is like a Gold Miner!

Lucky Ba****d!!!!!! :rolleyes:

You wouldn't want Bully to 'Bugger you' Dave.

I should know, I've slept with him.

About 10 years ago in Baltimore, Me, Tats and Bully shared a room with two beds.

Tats drew the long straw and me and the Bull got into the same bed.

Just dropping to sleep when he whispers in my ear "Shall we make a chair, Sean?"

:rolleyes:

I never slept a wink all night!
