Wow!.......... what a fantastic weekend we had in the Catalan capital!!!

Arrived on Thursday evening & we were shown fantastic hospitality from then 'til we left yesterday.... even the weather blessed us over a great weekend of Soul, food & above all great company!

We started our weekend with a warm culinary welcome of Tapas & wine with Edu & Polly to get us warmed up, before the weekend started properly with a busy itinerary on Friday.

The night started at Kavel's newly opened Galeria with drinks & nibbles and a viewing of her artworks & progressed to the city centre where Edu & Marcos play a great mix of soul, funk & R&B to an appreciative crowd of trendy (blissfully unaware) locals.... (a wonderful sight seeing 'regular' punters dancing so enthusiastically to tunes of the calibre of the Ad-libs & Norris Vines!)..... although another club was on offer at 3.30, when it was time to move on, we decided to live to fight another day:yes:

Ady P arrived on Saturday, so after meeting for a quick estrella to get us all started, it was off to the warm Up at the Cova de Cultura & more socialising...... a great warm-up in a cool venue with top tunes from all the DJ's & plenty more Estrella's, before a (very quick) bite to eat & a dash to the Movin' on venue............

..... well what can I say......... a party from start to finish; cool venue (once again) with fantastic tunes from Leona, Ady & Luisma guesting and of course Edu as resident.......... I struggled to tear myself from the floor! What a great crowd too with all the DJ's packing the floor......... a recommended european excursion for all soulies!

Looking forward to seeing the playlists posted from all the DJ's.....

Sunday was food day with Cristina, Ricard, Edu, Polly, Leona & Ady P in a gorgeous Seafood restaurant for fishy delights & Paella, before heading off to the Movin' On warm down on Sunday night.......

...... all in all a fantastic weekend....!!:thumbup:

Massive thanks to Edu & Polly, Kavel, Marcos, Cristina & Ricard for making us feel so welcome & giving us such a wonderful weekend and also to all the Spanish Crew (too many names to mention) for some great memories, tunes & friendship and to Ady P for representing the 'Ady Soul massive' (every soul night needs at least 2) & vinyl marvels....... looking forward to seeing everyone in Bamberg, if not before!....... and last but not least Massive thanks to wifey for top tunes that kept me on the dancefloor!........ post up the playlists!!!

Thanks, Adi!

Sorry to be so flaky not to start the topic meself, but still yesterday we had a dinner-turned-passionate-discussion-about-Spanish-Soul-Scene that had as a result a full sleepless night (and morning till now!) whistling.gifinnocent.gifrolleyes.gif

Many, many thanks to Leona, Adi, Ady, Luisma, my partners Cristina, Marcos, Kavel & Paz and all the people to attended to make this Movin' On one of the best to date! thumbup.gif I'll be posting my playlists this afternoon, i'll chase the other Dj's around to have the rest! (and some photos if possible!) yes.gif

Best!

Hi Edu,

It's an emotional subject, that requires a prolonged discussion; morning & nightwicked.gif......... like it!

I always think it's better for a punter to start a topic about the night; the Promoter's & DJ's have already done their bit putting the night on...... it was a fantastic weekend & we're already looking forward to seeing everyone again........ I'll chase Leona for her playlists..... please apologise to Paz for me, as I forgot to mention her in my thanks to all the organisers & thanks again to everyone, especially Polly & you for entertaining us all weekend.

Cheers

Adi
