Just thought better add something about last weeked before it fades into the murky depths of my memory.
Due to work etc it turned out to be a short one for me, as only made it for the Saturday nighter and then due to lift etc didn't get there till late on
Only got there as acts were starting and so only caught the end of Phillip Mitchell and the begining of Dee Dee Sharp but what heard and saw was top drawer stuff.
As always one thing about Prestatyn is the amount of catch ups and wa

The Last Soul Night At The Frobisher Suite - Wakefield
Saturday 31st March - Chicago Soul Survey
The Mill House Group, which owns The Frobisher Suite, part of the Ferry Boat complex at Stanley Ferry, Wakefield, has finalised a decision to convert the building to a Wacky Warehouse for kids. This means the end of the very successful Soul Nights, which have had their home there for almost twelve years.
This decision to close came out of the blue to the promoters - D

Admission will be strictly by ticket only, so if you are unfortunate enough not to have obtained a ticket, please don't travel, as the venue will be full to capacity and anybody without a ticket won't get it. Sorry Folks. Fitting farewell for the venue though, as it is due to be demolished soon after.
In April 2002 Chris and Barry started the soul night at Pilsley. The music emphasis at this time was Northern oldies (Chris' influence) and Classic Motown (Influenced by Barry) Both brothers having a life long love of soul music but experiencing different venues at different times: shaping their own particular taste.
As time has gone on we have rarely seen a bad night at Pilsley, even when other venues have come along and their nights have 'clashed' with ours, the numbers have general

Dear Soulies, Well the Northern Soul Bubble hasn't burst yet, but I think you'll agree most soul nights are suffering in attendance due to the shear amount of choice these days. Why do so many people want to promote eh? Friday 6 April 2007, (Easter bank holiday weekend!) is The Wellingborough Soul Club's 13th Anniversary.

Fellow Soul Sourcers, I just sent the following out to all my mailing list, it speaks for itself.
It is with great sadness and a fair amount of shock that I must tell you that all future 6TS 100 Club all nighters are cancelled for the time being and that includes the forthcoming Saturday January 20th one.
The reasons are mainly due to a change of promoter on Saturday nights at the club so that those functions go on until 3 am and there is not enough time fo
