Guest Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Just a quick thanks to Steve, Loubie and everyone at Brough for an absolutely brilliant night on Sat. It's funny really, I suggested that we should do something like this in the 2nd room at Bury a few years ago and was told that it'd never work.. well, it clearly does in Brough because the place was full!. I'm very jealous and wish we could pick the place, the people and the music up and relocate you to Manchester. It wasn't the easiest place to find but I get lost everytime I venture any further than the Longfield suite!. Nice room, big floor, plenty of seating, good and cheap bar, could do with a bigger sound system but the music was just perfect too from Steve, Neil, Sean and Sam. It was great to see Marie, Julie, Loubie, Spot, Pete & Karen and finally have a chat with Chris Box too. We'll be back! Jayne.x Link to comment
oldsteve woomble Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 (edited) Blimey that was a decent knees-up then...... What day is it again?....... We were really happy with the excellent turn-out and thank you so much to everyone who came along, far too many to mention individually! Thanks to all the DJ's, Louby and Captain Kearney opened us up with a fine mix of old favourites and a few newer and lesser-known gems, Neil Rushton got the party properly started like the pro he is, Sean Hampsey caught the vibe straight away and hit the ground running with a top selection of true 'Modern Soul Classics' and Soul Sam was simply "Soul Sam - The legend"!.... We had a few issues with the sound, and for this we apologise. Good sound should be a given, and we were let down a bit this time. Chris, who we use, is usually spot on and we can assure you that it won't happen again. Once again, thanks to all of those who came along and added to the MSC party! We've got some piccies! I'll get them posted up later on for blackmail purposes....... Next up at MSC!.... - "Modern Soul Classics - The All-Dayer - Sunday 30th August".......

Well mines the 5th of July so I'm sure we could stretch it out. Jayne's is the weekend before Steve, the 22nd so another good excuse for a knee's up. Seriously enjoyed saturday night so glad that we made the trip over. Top top music and a friendly crowd, certainly looking forward to getting back over in August. Link to comment

Guest ktf27 Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Top night as was the last one, mind you after Louby,s spot your job might be under threat Steve. We had a great night they all say they will be there for the 30th Ive just got to get someone to do my Sunday shift definite 5 star night as far as the Harrogate crowds are concerned Shaun Link to comment
Sean Hampsey Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Not fully recovered from the blinding night on Saturday in Sunny Brough. Modern soul classics, all the way, just as it says on the tin. Managed to blow the dust off a few old Clifton Hall classics and drop in a few personal faves from the 70's for a very appreciative and 'up for it' crowd. Loved it Steve and all! We'll be back. And thank you for having me. Sean Link to comment

Great to see you, thanks for coming up and see you soon! We'll be having you back, no worries!! Link to comment
spot Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 What did 10cc say? Oh yeah I remember, "The thing's we do for love", like walking in the rain & the snow when there's nowhere to go & you feel like a part of you is dying, well Gail was dying to go to "Modernism" of Brough, so the thing I did was agree to join Her, Kenny, Kev & Pauline & Yorkshire's finest Modern Soulie type people, well I thought if it gets to 2 step & Garage & tracks run for longer than 5 minutes then I'll just get hammered, cos Kenny's driving. Well the only thing I wasn't happy with on this night was the entrance to the venue which was hidden between 2 hedges & that was it, everything else was excellent, plenty of parking, nice big room & dance floor, someone said bar prices were cheap, well if they were I was either robbed or we're just greedy buggar's, which do you think it is??? As we arrived I saw Steve taking Sam back to his, what for I don't know & he never said, so let your mind run wild. Inside Louby was running the show & making a damn good fist of it (Although there was a problem with the Bass cutting in & out, which was eventually fixed) she seem to be the "Designated Adult" as the lads imbibed vast quantities of fluid & she remained serene & calm at all times, well done Louby. Captain "Chaos" Kearney, Willie Rushton's son Neil,Mr Woomble, Louby & Mr "Hammie" Hampsey gave us what it said on the can, "Modern Classics", Sam tried a little adventurous stuff but soon realized he'd have to revert a little, not to worry Martin it'll come. Anyway the floor was kept polished for 95% of the night & even one of the local piss heads (only 3 in) managed to fall of the bar & his stool in time to the music with his mate catching him on the beat & about 6" off the deck, you couldn't bloody write it, tickled me anyway. So a nice & entertaining evening spent in the company of the Hull Soul Quartet, Ali/Chrissie/Twinnie & Bev, Pete & Karen, Graham, Kirk &Shaun, Payo & his better half, Sean & Jayne,Marie & Julie plus others who I've no doubt once again forgotten. So thank you to the Brough Bandit's for a great evening & no doubt we'll be back for seconds. Take care, be safe & remember, "If a man does his best, what else is there?", Spot. Link to comment
