Last Weekend

Bit late as been busy, but just a quick word on last weekend
Well got to say the 6th Annivesary at Lowton was a well enjoyable nite, great line up of DJs, two dropped out Tim Brown and Chris King. Think late additions were Ian Cuncliffe and also Steve Thomas (HHead) doing the last hour.
Packed, quality sounds, great atmosphere. Highlight of nite to me was Keith Moneys spot, ouch so good it hurt. Rest of line up did the business, and to me seems a lot fresher feel to the sounds being spun nowadays with a distinct lack of cheese.
Gotta say was a great nite
Tonys at Blackburn was on next day and reports have had was that it was also a good one. Seems last few weeks that nearly every venue report have had, says that all events has been well good, good crowds, good music. Quality Northern venues on a roll?

Change in Northern Web Ring

Just to let you know that after almost 3 years, have handed over the running of the Northern Web Ring to Bernie O Brien.
Set up to help soul fans find Northen sites easier and web site owners get exposure. Felt due to other going ons could not give it the time and effort it deserves. So have passed it on, and hopefully Bernie will take it onwards and upwards
Cheers and thanks to those who offered to help out.

Nordic Soul - Sales List

100+ Sales list from Christian Hermansson
Just hit read more to view
"NORDIC SOUL 45´s"
If you for some reason don´t want this list in the future (a few times a year at the most) send me a mail and tell me so and you will be deleted from my address book. If you do wish to receive a list in the future send me a blank mail saying"I want the list" and you will be added to future mail outs (this does not apply if you get it by mail obviously). I try to grade the records properly and you can buy safely, if not satisfied I´ll refund your money (not if you change your mind about the tune though!). Gradings are stricter than many major UK dealers I reckon and a M should be virtually flawless, most M- are basically the same while some have very slight visual wear. All records, gardless of grading should play fine unless stated ! If you need to ask me anything don´t hesitate to do so. Many of these records can be heard at various internet sites but if you need to hear anything you can give me a call at +46 40 26 27 76 (between 1800-2100 CET!). Records will be packed and shipped the usual way with cardboard stiffeners. I prefer reply by e-mail but it´s ok to phone me. Any orders will be dealt with in the order I receive them.
Insurance(registered mail) up to £33 =£3.30 up to £675 = £5, this is on top of postage.Postage should be about european average. Mail is usually very reliable between Sweden,UK&US (I have never lost anything yet). I might give discount on shipping/records depending on how much/what you buy! Trades considered, good stuff/good condition, not necessarily very expensive stuff. Hope you find something, Christian Hermansson. E-mail: sectleader@hotmail.com

"NORDIC SOUL 45´s"
If you for some reason don´t want this list in the future (a few times a year at the most) send me a mail and tell me so and you will be deleted from my address book. If you do wish to receive a list in the future send me a blank mail saying"I want the list" and you will be added to future mail outs (this does not apply if you get it by mail obviously). I try to grade the records properly and you can buy safely, if not satisfied I´ll refund your money (not if you change your mind about the tune though!). Gradings are stricter than many major UK dealers I reckon and a M should be virtually flawless, most M- are basically the same while some have very slight visual wear. All records, gardless of grading should play fine unless stated ! If you need to ask me anything don´t hesitate to do so. Many of these records can be heard at various internet sites but if you need to hear anything you can give me a call at +46 40 26 27 76 (between 1800-2100 CET!). Records will be packed and shipped the usual way with cardboard stiffeners. I prefer reply by e-mail but it´s ok to phone me. Any orders will be dealt with in the order I receive them.
Insurance(registered mail) up to £33 =£3.30 up to £675 = £5, this is on top of postage.Postage should be about european average. Mail is usually very reliable between Sweden,UK&US (I have never lost anything yet). I might give discount on shipping/records depending on how much/what you buy! Trades considered, good stuff/good condition, not necessarily very expensive stuff. Hope you find something, Christian Hermansson. E-mail: sectleader@hotmail.com

Other day got asked from a friend who was attending an pre-event meeting at the Prestatyn Sands Holiday Centre, concerned with the forth coming weekender, if fancied coming along.
He asked us along as live close by and so could see the facilities at first hand and pass on to those interested my view on it all.
Anyway have heard that this venue is purpose built for a weekender, with facilities, infra-structure and all, and is going to be one that will take these events to another level, true or hype ? Well hit read more for my quick view on it all


Well first of all as seems to happen with all events, sometimes the odd ill founded rumour starts doing the rounds and one heard someone passing on was definitely put to rest. If anyone tells you that there is no live backing band , just reply bollocks. Have been assured that a top quality backing band has been jacked up, well worthy of the calibre of these artists.

Well it certainly seems good news for those who have booked as ...first impression is very impressive.
As the venue is actually Pontins Prestatyn Holiday Sands Centre, well the name should tell you that it seems we are talking another level up from other close by similar events.The whole infra structure is up, working and proven, access, roads, parking, all seem more than ample for the even. Other facilities on offer are the normal holiday centre type things, a supermarket, 4 different style food outlets, swimming pool and more, check out Pontins leaflet at Holiday Agents for full info.
The actual Chalets sound thayt they are up to a good standard, Not 100% sure difference between normal and club class but know the club class does includes video, microwave, and sky TV and more.
The 24 hr radio seems to have been given a lot of thought, with professionals from neighbouring stations involved and the output set up to run into each chalet thru the TV system so seems like should be rock solid and clear.
So from what I heard and seen on the facilities all seems of a very good standard and very impressive.

On the actual hall, well as said has been described as purpose made for a weekender and after seeing it have got to agree, seems more like a cinema with large foyer stairs and s on, a well large sprung dancefloor, (no sledges required ) and a large proper stage making up the main bits of the main room, plus as a bonus at the back of hall theres tiered seating, so a good view of the live acts is available.Then next to the floor theres the large bar area and large record dealers area.(Was told that still room left for more - phone for details) All looked pretty smart and spacious. Didnt get to see modern room but was told of same standard.

Live acts as per flyers - Tony Middleton Ray Pollard in main room plus also
Shabazz in modern room.
Live band - Most definitely a live backing band, have been told be a top class supporting band

Thats about it, just a quick heads up, from what saw and heard today. Gotta say to me after looking first hand at the facilities, dj line up, acts,
organisation and all seems like definitely going to be a winner. Then with the low pricing, and also after hearing future plans think this is going to
be one popular and regular event
Its on 08-11 Mar 02, web site at http://www.soulweekenders.com
Tel 08705 331199

No connection at all to event. Mate asked me along as live close by, so could have a look and pass on my view on what I see.I was impressed.

Review Of Aqua Hednesford 01 Feb

THE AQUA: HEDNESFORD 1/02/2002
Thanks to Winston for passing on a review and playlists of the Aqua
Not having been to this venue before, but having heard so much about it from friends I felt really excited on the journey down. A couple of mates from St Ives rung up (Baz and Stuart) and said that they had spare seats and would I and Juliette like to go with them. We jumped at the chance and a couple of hours later we were on our way.
It took about two hours to get to the venue from Cambridge, which wasnt bad considering the high winds and after setting off at around seven we duly arrived around nine. (Basic maths):-)
A large car park just opposite the venue housed most of the punters cars and it was pleasing to see that it was quite full when we parked up. Its a really smart venue, into the foyer and paid the very reasonable amount of three pounds fifty each to get in.
Through the doors and wow, what a pleasant surprise. A massive dance floor which felt really good underfoot, and I just knew that it would be a pleasure to dance on. To the right was the bar, which was well staffed so the thirstier section of the soulies was also well catered for. One of the other things that impressed me was the amount of seating, which was great for the less energetic and more elderly element, 🙂 amongst what seemed like almost one hundred percent TRUE soulies.
I went straight to the bar, and almost immediately turned back to the floor because one of the DJs played J.D.Bryant and you just have to dance to that  tune dont you? After re-visiting the bar, we settled down, met a few fellow KTFrs, Steve and Janet, Nige, Gayle and her Husband, and all sat/mingled together. Nick Brown (Driveller) also turned up, (is there a more hard working promoter on the scene?) and gave out flyers for the re-birth of Scenesville in Euston. There may have been some others of the KTF crew there and as ever if I missed you out I apologise.
I was pulled to the floor almost immediately by the Tangeers and after that rarely left it. The music policy was excellent, with something for everyone, a little bit of modern, some storming rarities, R&B and a great oldies set from Sam Moore. The sound system was also excellent, no distortion, which was a pleasure after having my ears, battered at the rocket the week previous. The atmosphere built over the night and by ten thirty it was banging, and the floor told the story that everyone was enjoying themselves.
I didnt know that many people there (outside of the KTF crew) but they all seemed pretty friendly and ready to chat, which is something that always makes you feel more at home.
The only minor gripes (and they are only minor) were:
The bar closing without any warning, although something was said by the DJs, but it was too late the bar had already closed.
The insistence of people using talc on what was one of the best floors Ive danced on in ages.

Winsford Niter 7th Anniversary Soul Review

7th Annivesary of the South Cheshire Soul Clubs Winsford Allnighter
Yet another top drawer enjoyable nite.
This time was in South Chesire, Winsford way for a return to one of the regular top UK monthly niters ringed on the got to go calendar.
Saturdays niter at Winsford was the 7th Anniversary. .
Checked out the new warm up at the Grange pub, for a few quick pints, bit quiet, late bar extension, on decks while there, playing quality modern such as Al Green, but then went onto northern club classics,
Onto the event itself, well as one of the main established monthly events on the soul calendar. Gotta say always enjoy this one, in through the doors and already fairly packed with more streaming in. Come around midnight place was fairly packed, and the dancefloor was getting a well fair bit of use with a great atmosphre.
Had a word with Sam Moore the main man behind this and the Bretby niter. And he asked me to pass on thanks to all for the 7 years. And told me that both Winsford and Bretby events are both going well strong, and getting better with each one. Well proof of Winsford one was all around me, been saying this a bit recently which may say something for the healthy state of scene. But yet again this is a event which to me is getting better with each one, and each time the attendance and atmosphere gets better, and this night had the highest attendance figures for a fair while. So Winsford definitely healthy and on a big up. Asked about how recent Bretby went, well good job wasn't going anywhere as Mr Moore then proceded grabbing anyone passing and got them to give me a no-prompts view of Bretby. All were well praising, best niter around, cracking atmosphere, quality night were just some of the phases rolled off by the people he grabbed. And as these fitted in with reports that have had from others who attended the last one, will have to say that the fans voices certainly backed up his comments. So sounds like one to put in the "places to go list". Even though he refused to give me a extra complimentary badge and key ring for my badge/key ring collecting wife, along with a hard time for losing my pass out card ;)
Crowd wise, well as said a large North Wales contingent with a lot of familiar faces popping up, now have a well strong proper welsh accent after travelling up with the Bangor convey. Many other familiar rogues knocking around, from all points of the UK, which led to getting a fair few things done and dusted. Usual dealers were hustling in the record sales bit, which tried to avoid as
Sounds wise, well another phase am using a hell of a lot is "something for every one" and yet again from what I heard seemed this was achieved, after exerts of the other day was beginning to feel the pace and took this event at a more lesuirely pace with a lot of time spent in the foyer bit, catching up and so on. So no detailed details. Main feeling got was a more traditonal northern feel than I usually prefer, but no big thing as all djs gave sets you would have expected from them. Dj line up billed was (ripped from that wonderfull detailed events page 
Wass/Mark, Andy Riley, Robbo, Bob Hinsley, Roger Banks, Kenny Burrell
also on were Little Scotty, plus the two exiles now having pleasure of living in North Wales, Bob Shaffer and Brian Rae
What I caught whilst in main hall, were all giving out yet more of their normal quality sets, each following their normal styles which have earned their reputation.
Had few laughs as with modern room beat mixing in with sounds from the main room, were subject to some one off unique mixes such as garage version of dust my broom.
Modern room
Think clever ones may be able to suss out what I think of main halls at events by how much time spend in modern room, this time about 2 mins, all seemed to be enjoying them self. Was talking to a couple of guys from Chester, with one spending most of time in Modern room, he singled out Colin Curtis performance in there as well good with a top ***** house set (as 5001 different descriptions of current types of house was never going to remember this one - though learned a new one - dirty house - stuff like drizabone) . . Sorry to you both but names gone.
Overall - well as said better each time, with numbers and atmosphere going up each time and this time was the best attendance for a while and best feel.
Recommended.
Big Thanks to Johnny J for the lift.

Soul At The Social - Bangor - Review

Well this was a good local soul nite, extremely good I would say. Great sounds ranging from some well top rarities to classy well thought revivals, a 100+ crowd, many visitors, all seemed out to enjoy themselves, giving the place later on a great buzz, as always friendly sociable feel, were a fair few record boxes as well, and all to me made it one of the best nites have had there
With Kev Murphy and Steve Thomas pulling out the stops....
Hit read more to read rest
Dj wise - will stick a few plays at end to give you idea
Myself did normal first bit till ten, floor was a bit quiet as it filled up apart from a few brave souls,
Johnny J up next, the promoter and the locals favourite as he know what makes then tick with a selection of some classy revivals and some current floor fillers that got a great reaction.
Kev Murphy up next with a well cracking set, with some of the top current sounds around, top rarities, rare revivals, some serious in your face soul thrown out and went down well
Steve Thomas up next and carried on the good work with a blinding set, some awesome sounds that finished the nite, again got the balance just right with something for everyone to an appreciative crowd. Steve from Holyhead gotta be one of North Wales top Djs/collectors, with a well large collection, has nearly every "want" of mine and takes great pleasure in telling me.
Yeah gotta say Kev and Steve did the business allright, quality stuff
As said 100+ crowd, not the most packed seen it, but a fair few commented on the best buzz, visitors from a far that know of were from NW Pete Coulson and Barry J, Carl and the Stockport gang again, Wrexham, Rhyl and all stops up to Holyhead. Spoke to most of the travellers and all gave it a big thumbs up. Nite closed and then off to the after-event event, which in keeping with nite was well enjoyable.
Have to mention Cel whos a regular visitors, asked me to pass on his crap pile, us 45 failed blind buys is now at the height of 6 6" when stacked on each other, is this a record.....
Final Word a great nite.
Next one not till April 05 (none in March due to the two weekenders in Llandudno and Prestatyn plus the event in Dublin the weekend after)
Djs lined up are Mark Speakman, Chico, Johnny J, Mike H
Playlists - ok as always asked for top 5s and as always waiting to collect. So brief recollections
Very brief ! As was just going to dredge memory but times just run out, so out of here, get back to this later hopefully

Hoagy Lands Website

Hoagy Lands was buried yesterday. Mark Hanson has updated his web site and passed on the following news.

On the site you will see the two interviews he did, one for "In The Basement" [May 2001] and the "Soul Up North" [December 2001]. There is also label scans of some of his 45s from MGM to Paramount, plus some UK 45s. There is even a snippet of Hoagy singing "The Next In Line" at Cleethorpes through Steve Heinsens video site.
The main thing though is the Tribute CD of Hoagy singing Live at Cleethorpes. On this page you will see details of how to order the album.
Please remember all profits from this CD will go to the family of Hoagy Lands and [through their help] The Rhythm & Blues Foundation.
The Picture Gallery, discography and music clips will be up soon.

Please check it out......

Burnley Cricket Club Saturday 2nd Feb.

Dont know much about this one but guest DJ is Rob Thomas so it has the pedigree to be a good night.

Only downside I can see is that the hours are a bit short, apparently doors open at 7:45pm and the night finishes at 12:45am. But Im sure the class music from Rob will make up for the shortage in hours.

Garret Club - Aldershot 02 Feb

Hi All

The Garrett Club is a one room luxurious venue, so everyone will be nicely together rather that split between 2 floors.
All the DJs have been primed to play across-the-board sets, so you can guarantee there will be plenty of good soulful sounds for everyone to enjoy.
The DJ line-up for this first night is:
Keith Woon
Maxine
Gary Todd
Tom Powers
Mike Hedley
Moldie
Entrance will be £4 for this event, which will run from 7pm until 2am (the bar closes at 1am).
If you require further info, you can call Moldie on: 01252 663 806 or visit the website @: www.mick55.moonfruit.com
Soulful regards
Keith n Maxine

PS
This event will replace the previously planned Crossley club (Lightwater) event, which for reasons beyond the promoters control, have now ceased.

Calendonia Soul Review - Irish Greg

Heres news of another event that like most featured on Soul Source is keeping Northern moving forward rather than backwards.
Cheers to Irish Greg for passing on
Scotland? What a night - The place just rocked!!!.
Well done to Martin,Caroline and Lenny etc for starting off this event and providing Scotland with a club that is forward thinking in its music policy.
The crowd was well up for it and even the people from the Street loved it and danced happily next to hardcore Soulies like Kenny Burrell&co.
Sounds played varied from Rare/Classic Sixties to 7ts and a touch of RnB - Magnetics,Mayfield Singers,Districts,Charles Sheffield,Explosive
Dynamics,Fascinators,Johnny Maestro,TC Lee&Bricklayers etc etc. I would like to add that the people were so nice and friendly that you didnt want to leave the venue, so get to the next one which has Butch spinning the Vinyl plus residents. Celtic 2-0 got a nice response from the Crowd!!!

News From Weekend

Dome last nite, ok did say more details but will keep it a bit brief as going over old ground here as it was a case of yet another Quality Top Nite, Top Sounds, Top Crowd - if youve read the reviews over the last 2 years...well its still going strong. One of the UKs TOP events, its as simple as that.





Playlists should follow soon hopefully. Great crowd there from all over the place, UK and beyond, good to catch up with stacks of people there and as always good to see all from all Londons quality events there, from the big ones to the small. Showing just how good and healthy the scene is down there.


Way to do it!





News:





Prestayn weekender looks like going to be a right old shindig, read 700 plus tickets already sold so get over to http://www.soulweekenders.com


Second week in March, great venue, great line up, low prices.








Jo Wallace passed on word of forthcoming CD comp Soul Satisfaction - The Motown Connection Vol 3, the classy Vol 2 has already been lauded as one of the cd releases of last year. She ran off the listing and it sounds to me like its a going to be a sure fire winner. More details and hopefully a review closer to release date.





Good to hear that some top North West Djs know the score with current going ons.

Four Vandals - Out on Goldmine


Originally posted a week a go, bit out of sync due to crash but seems still valid news as seems that one top Northern Dj has returned his copy, as wants his money back!!!

Four Vandals

Well mentioned this a fair while back, but now it seems its official. The next Goldmine all-nighter cd, will feature both tracks by the Four Vandals.
Apparently it seems that the source where they licensed the tracks from wishes to remain anonymous

doesnt surprise me at all that the source wants to remain anonymous. this either means that both 4 vandals tracks are ian levine productions or that goldmine didnt licencse them at all which they already did in the past on some stuff. anybody disagree?
BTW, i have to say, that IF both tracks are levine made he did well compared to the below average shite he put out in the past.

Desboro Nite Review

Well after seeing there was much going on last Saturday night in London, myself and Louise decided to travel a few miles the small town in Desborough in Northamptonshire to see what the soul night at the Ritz was like. we travelled up late on Saturday afternoon, after booking ourselves into the local travel lodge at weekend special rate (£25.00 if you book on a Saturday not bad) so we would not have to drive back and both could have a drink.

After having a few beers with the locals in this small town with only one cash point (glad it was working) and then thinking had we done the right thing travelling and booking a hotel but both off us were surprised at the venue, very nice place to have a soul night, much like a small Wigan casino, fair size dance floor, balcony going all the way round, large area to sit and a small bit for record dealers, the bar bit on the small side but did not take to long to get served and very good prices also, small modern room upstairs.


As the night went on the music was right across the board playing modern right though to classic northern soul which makes a nice change. few face had also come up from the London area Johnny , Michelle, Reg and Dave Townsend, Ross . I think all in all it was a good night even 100 club dj and promoter ady crosdale was djing (must have been like coming home for him) so for a off the cuff night and with a small out lay very enjoyable night, we will go again later in the year .the only small think i would have said about the whole night was the sound system, music was not that load which was a bit off a shame, but still a very good venue and well worth a visit.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Re: Desborough (the Ritz) Review by IanG on Jan 21, 2002 - 04:52 PM


We also travelled down to Desborough again (from Langley, Derbyshire ) on Saturday night. We had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thought that Simon ? (sorry dont know second name) did a brilliant spot - playing a lot of my favourites mostly from the Stafford era I guess (somebody no doubt will put me right). Have to agree about the sound system - it wasnt quite loud enough with the conversation in the larger seated area sometimes getting in the way of the music. That aside, I think the Ritz is a great venue with a buzzing atmosphrere and worth travelling for, heres looking forward to the next one.

Top Nite Again At The Dome

Into the third year and still doing the business. A great nite at the Dome in Tufnall Park London with the CSC at full steam ahead, great spots by the residents, top drawer stuff by guest Andy Dyson, and Ady Lupton, crowd somewhere around 375-400 (a guess), dancefloor packed solid most of nite, normal top atmosphere, normal top sounds, a most enjoyable nite at one of the UKs top venues.





More details, news, odds and sods to follow later

It sure was... and for me it was my first visit! I was hugely surprised at the quality of the music most of which I had not really heard before let alone danced my socks off to so It was a real treat for me and I shall certainly be a regular now!





It was lovely to meet you Mike even though you probably thought I should be in an Institute instead of a Soul night *grin*.





Steve Scordas made me laugh by speaking into his dictaphone every time a record came on... thats dedication for you.





It was truely a stomping night... I think I died and went to heaven

Calendonia Soul In The Papers

Well told you it was being talked about, seems not just in the rare soul world, here's an article ripped from Scotlands biggest selling evening paper "Evening Times" on Saturdays nite.
Just found out its Written by Beverley Adams and is up at
http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/
ONE CLUB THAT LOOKS TO THE PAST
"Dance night has best of 60s soul"
PUT on your best Clarks shoes, prepare your hands for lots of action and dont bring your drink on the dance floor.
Scotlands youngest Northern Soul Night presents its third outing on Saturday at the Woodside social Club, Kelvinbridge, and there is a collection of unspoken rules for those who go.
Northern Soul, for those of you who are unaware, is a music movement which grew out of the dreams and desires of factory workers in places like Detroit and Chicago in the 60s. Long before House Music dominated the club scene Teary ;eyed teenages stayed up all night to dance without a partner as the small, independent labels made music that appealed to our hearts and souls.
Northern Soul wasnt Motown, it didnt have the financial backing. In the 70s, as much of the music was discovered, it was popular in Britains industrial corners like the North and East Midlands and, in Scotland, Shotts! The Wigan Casino club was probably the most famed of these places with a membership of 100,000 in its heyday. Thirty years on and Scotlands youngest Northern Soul club is continuing the tradition of playing rarities and originals you wont find in most record shops.
Although the club only started in September it has won acclaim in what is a notoriously difficult scene to crack. On Saturday night the guest DJ is Irish Greg, promoter and DJ at Londons world famous Capitol Soul Club.
From 9pm until 2am DJs Scotch Martin and Big Lenny will play the best of 60s Black America.
Martin was a guest DJ at Londons 100 Club soul all-nighter this month and he maintains that despite the long history of soul music this is definitely not a retro night.
Martin, who puts on the night with fellow northern Soul specialist Kevin McCardle, says: "Northern Soul has always been about progression, finding new, undiscovered records from the 60s and making them popular.
"In recent years, some nights have tended to play all oldies from the 70s heyday, but were definitely more into newly discovered or underplayed records. This policy keeps it current and relevant today, so punters shouldnt expect just Motowns greatest hits."
Norman Cook (AKA Fat Boy Slim) certainly felt the music was relevant when he sampled a northern classic called Sliced Tomatoes for his hit Funk Soul Brother (thats the catchy guitar lick). Artists including Paul Weller, Sharleen Spiteri and
Belle & Sebastian all credit the music as a major influence and over thirty years on it shows no sign of going away.
Northern Soul has its own etiquette and anyone attending the night should clap loudly after hearing a record they like ; the name will be announced by the DJ so you know who you are listening to. Expect intricate dancing on the floor as people take their music seriously, and taking your drink onto the hallowed dance floor is the equivalent of setting fire to the venue.
You can also expect some record stalls selling original Northern Soul numbers on the night. But beware, some records can cost around £500 and one was even known to sell for £15,000. There is a lot of kudos attached to finding an original.
Admission to www.Caledoniasoul.com is £5.
Doors open at 9pm and close at 12.30am.

Hip City Review

Review below was posted recently on Soul-Talk and thought it be worthwhile passing on for all to read as gives a top insight to current Berlin Scene. Sounds like its worth the bus journey . Stacks of playlists etc (just read below then hit read more)
january 12. saw the first Hip City Soul Club event at its new venue, the privatclub in berlin-kreuzberg. a nice, quite 60ish venue,situated in the basement of a bar/restaurant (you actually have to go through the toilet doors to find its entrance, with no sign of the club being there outside). Entering the empty club at 11 (the time the doors were supposed to open), we found a nice fridge filled up with beer right behind the dj-booth, a decent sound system, and a very friendly booker who told us to PLAY LOUD, so what more could you want?
Max and me were the first on the line-up and did it the good old double decker style were infamous for, and the place filled up much quicker than we had expected...after half an hour, marc took over and gave us a treatment with some more than decent classic sounds, the crowd went wild and asked for more...the atmosphere was overwhelming...
about an hour later, the place was absolutely packed, you couldnt squeeze a sheet of paper among the dancers on the floor, every track played got an immense dancefloor-reaction, and i took over. during my second set i was almost wondering if people enjoyed themselves and the sounds played so much or if they just kept on dancing because they couldnt leave the floor due to the place being packed anyway;-) people were obviously in a very party-mood, so i pulled out some more stompy sounds than usual.
By that time, the whole event actually was a lock-out for several hours with people queing up down the stairs. The crowd was very responsive to almost every track that got played, no matter if it were uptempo stormers, midpaced/beat balled stuff or an exploding RnB-bomb, both marc and me did a second set, max joined me again, and we all did our best to give people what they wanted. the place kept being packed till about 4.30 in the morning, i even found it appropriate to spin dean parrish as the last record (more of a post - modernist reaction towards the fantastic atmosphere, the drops of condensed water falling from the ceiling, the mighty volume we were allowed to blast the sounds out, etc :-)
judging by what ive experienced that night, it seems to me that marcs activities finally get the response they deserve, and the new venue defo did uplift the whole feel of the night. thanks to marc, max, the crowd, and the place the night ended up as a 120% success,
Much better than we could have hoped for. see you next time at the
HCSC!!!

Channel 4 Wigan Thing Last Nite

The Channel 4 15 min programme in the series "Pioneers" concerning itself with Wigan Casino was shown last nite, not that bad considering the subject has been hammered so many times. Format was normal sound bites from many personalities intermixed with old film clips.
Featured included Ady Croasdell, Richard Searling, Keb Darge, Irish Greg, Russ Winstanely, Kev Roberts, Pete Waterman
Keb Darge was on form with some great quotes, that had me well laughing, and even the music wasnt as cheesy as past ones.
