soulinvestigator 9 Posted August 17, 2014 Arrived Friday night to get a feel, seeing as it's been so long! The Castle itself, as usual, was in immaculate condition and a great venue for a weekend soul event. Everything about this place is first class, from toilets to bar service (jugs of water on the bar was a nice touch) by 10pm the place was buzzing whichever room you were in, roll on Saturday. Arrived around 12.30 and straight to the main hall, seemed slow to get going and the atmosphere seemed quite muted. For some reason the dance floor was like a sheet of glass! However, still a great surface. To be honest I thought the music never really got going and the consistency from the early DJ's was up and down. As usual later in the day the venue started to fill and the big names played their stuff giving a totally different atmosphere. Haven't really anything to say negative about these 2 days, apart from the usual local drinkers who have to congregate on the dance floor edge (this annoyance is everywhere and you should stick to the pubs!) this usually happens from 9 pm onwards. Also, the art of being a DJ is to play for the crowd and get them dancing; rather than play tunes they can dance to themselves! (This happened during the early afternoon.) Overall immaculately organised and run throughout. 8.5/10 Share this comment Link to comment
