Popular Comment Mustang 440 Posted March 21, 2019 Popular Comment Gutted, absolutely gutted !!!!..... I had no idea at all,even booked holidays for the dates through the year,so sad about this news. My heart goes out to Julie and Richard who put everything into Eggborough Soul Club to make it the success that it is today on the Northern Soul Scene. As others have said,we have had some of the best nights ever at Eggy with mates,friends and the Soul Family. Will look forward to the special nights at Drax,but still unhappy and sad. Speechless really !!!!!...... KTF,Ron. 4 Link to comment

Popular Comment Kev Richardson 176 Posted March 22, 2019 Popular Comment I'm humbled to be asked to put some time in behind the decks for the final Eggborough Soul Night. It is really sad to see one of our regular monthly haunts pull the shutters down but the music will live on and on and... Give it up for Richard and Julie who have put time, heart and soul into this venue. See you on the dance floor. 4 Link to comment
Shirley Stevenson 3 Posted March 23, 2019 HOPEFULLY GOING OUT WITH THE BIGGEST BANG! SO SAD ... BUT INCREDIBLY HAPPY TO BE PART OF SUCH AN ICONIC VENUE ON THIS NIGHT. ONLY THE VENUE HAS ENDED. THE SPIRIT WILL LIVE ON ... 2 Link to comment
Mustang 440 Posted March 23, 2019 With Shirley,Kev and Richard on the decks and the loyal Eggborough Soulies in attendance,this will surely be a great finale. Long live the spirit and music of Eggborough Soul Club. Farewell friends 3 Link to comment
Mustang 440 Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) Still gutted and unhappy ,although the reality has hit home now. A disappointing anti-climax comes to the fore front of my mind. For as long as I can remember I have attended Eggborough Soul Club nights every month (except for a couple due to work and Family events) each year, 180 mile round trip,half a tank of fuel,in all seasons and weather,battling the elements over the moors and hills,travelling from Runcorn Cheshire to Yorkshire. To be suddenly faced with immediate closure and not being part of the final night, is such an anti-climax and is so disappointing,i am just wearing my heart on my sleeve at this time and i am finding it hard to come to terms with this sad news,because I did not know about the closure at all. Eggborough will be no more and that is very sad indeed. Edited March 26, 2019 by Mustang 2 Link to comment
Popular Comment alanmandy 512 Posted March 27, 2019 Popular Comment Well after the news has been released and we have had time to take it in, We would firstly like to thank Julie & Richard for eight glorious years of putting this event on, with live act, mini nighters,Christmas & New Years Eve do’s, DJ’s of the finest order and music to match with some of the best dancers on the scene. We can honestly say we have met many friends from across the land and sadly also lost a few who have always been remembered here well. “Time waits for no man”so let’s go out with a great night and move on to Drax ( Eggborough nights )same building, same people, same music, Eggborough will never be forgotten by those who attended. Keep on dancing, Mandy & Alan. 5 Link to comment
Mustang 440 Posted March 30, 2019 (edited) I would just like to thank Julie and Richard for some great nights at Eggborough and their help and support over the years,their hard work keeping everyone happy and above all their friendship. Also,would like to thank mates,friends and the soul family for their friendship too. I hope you all enjoy the new nights at Drax and have a great send off at the Eggborough final night. Thanks for the memories,a fond farewell and time to say goodbye,KTF,Ron. Edited April 2, 2019 by Mustang 1 Link to comment

Karen Bedford 16 Posted April 12, 2019 My friend and I (that sounded posh didn't it!) are coming up from dan sarf! I came along to this a few years back and loved it! Just a shame havent had a chance to get back sooner However, had to get back for this one, was difficult knowing I would miss Rugby but had to be done. 2 Link to comment
Mr Fred 151 Posted April 12, 2019 (edited) Sorry to hear of the closure and having been in the same situation with the Frobisher Suite in Wakefield i can emphasize with Julie and Richard.A big thank you for putting together such a memorable venue.Eggborough will go down in history as one of the top Northern Soul Venues in the home of Northern Soul Yorkshire.It has been a priveledge to do guest spots at this extremely popular Venue.Moving forward its good that Julie & Richard.Have been able to secure some extra nights at the sister Venue Drax. I'm a great believer that one door closes and another door opens and i'm sure that it wont be long before another Venue will be located and continue where Eggborough left off Onwards and upwards All the very best wishes to Julie & Richard.

Kev Richardson 176 Posted April 13, 2019 Box sorted. If we are going out we are going out kicking. No let up from me and my fellow DJ's tonight. Get that defib charged and on standby. See you on the dance floor. No one leaves before midnight tonight. If your sitting down and your head is not nodding or feet ain't tapping along to the beat I'll be there to check your pulse. Only place to enjoy this night is on the dance floor. 3 Link to comment
