I know m'dear, it was fine really, I'm not complaining. I sat down on the balcony for a few minutes and found I was still there 2 hours later. thumbsup.gif

I read the back of Yockie's outfit - hillarious. Brilliant idea.

I trust whilst you weren't so busy, and stood around doin' nowt all weekend, you had time to make a note of what you played on sat night & have some idea of a playlist?... whistling.gif

It's the 70's stuff that I'm curious about...

Nel my good mate ...... you are a top chap , but please do not do this again .

The photograph of you in your nurses outfit scared me , as I thought it was the sadistic beehatch who used a javelin to take blood samples from me , whilst I was in hospital recovering from heart surgery seven years ago .

Come to think of it , you are better looking , and the tattoos on your arms are spelled correctly :thumbsup:

BintofSoul sister's had a FANTASTIC time. This was out first Brid weekender and it won't be our last. Excellent venue and excellent music being played all weekend. We loved the Rare/Underplayed room, John Aldern & Tony Hatfield did a fantastic set on Sunday night. Thanks for playing my request John, hopefully see you & Marilyn at 'Stolen Hours' soon. My fave on the Saturday night was the Hipster Lounge, great music & well up for it crowd.

It was lovely to meet up with soulie friends we've met while on our travels to Northern do's ( hello to Kirk, Steve & Gary). It was also lovely to meet new friends, the gorgeous Tina & her fella Fudge. Roll on 2010!!!

Had a really great weekend like everyone else. Nice to have everyone I know there too Bridget, Brian, Helen,Des, Alan, Julie, Baz and Sharon amongst others from Cambridgeshire. Also met people from ages ago Fudge n Tina, The Laws from Norwich, John, The Sherriff and Anne Marie from Dewsbury.Loads of others ...you know who you are!! Really nice to meet you Nicki...hope to make a Sussex Soul Event soon,probably the next one?. And have to say say didn't spend much time in the main hall as the rare, modern and hipster rooms ALL had a great atmosphere going on. The marathon dj's on sunday from York were outstanding (a 3 and a half hr set i believe) and Mick and Mo on sat were just fabulous. The Dukester and r'n'b boys were also top notch. Thanks to all involved. Now wheres that expanded wants list and new kidney I ordered.

Just a quick one coz got a dodgy connection (its my age lol).

What can I say that hasnt been said already.

Brilliant venue, awesome music, great atmosphere and loads of people to hug as think most of people I know was there from all over the country and I live nearly 200 miles away!

Already got my ticket for next year and Bridget, Anne Marie and me have already booked our cocktail afternoon again as a little added bonus! (we may even let Brian tag along if hes a gud boy lol)

Thanks to brilliant organization it really was the highlight of my soul year so far (and I get about a bit!!!!!!!)

Thanx to the Cambridge and West Mids mates who made it extra special you know who you are!!

Love and stuff to all there and involved, now just got to book digs that are closer!

Just had Night Nurse on the phone regarding tickets for next years weekender.

We shall again be giving our regular sellers tickets in issues of 10 tickets only.We shall re-issue another 10 when they are sold until we reach a "Sold Out" point.

These will be paid for when buying them, sorry NO HOLDING TICKETS VIA Agents this year as this only causes confusion as to the number of tickets remaining. We already have SOLD our first allocation from the Spa-so I'm off up there tomorrow to pick up another 700 from the management !

We want everyone to have a fair crack of the whip at getting tickets and also want the people who have supported us to be able to get tickets for 2010.

Look at the number of hits on this thread, double the amount of people who attended. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE get your tickets early to avoid disapointment-Price is held for a FOURTH YEAR at just £20 for the whole weekend !

There is a facility where you can put a £5 deposit on tickets via our web site at www.bridsoul.com go there and become a member.

If you came this year please make sure and get your tickets early for 2010.

Box office number for Credit Cards is 01262 678 258

Thanks once again for your wonderful comments and support

Noticed a couple of people walking round with "The Over-50's Soul Club" logo on a polo shirt, never got a chance to find out where they got them. Anybody on here who attended Brid got any ideas where I could acquire one as I'm getting very close to membership of that somewhat exclusive club shhh.gif

I was also impressed with the very well dressed gentleman on Saturday night who started the evening off in the tail coat, two tone shoes, top hat, white gloves and walking cane. Would the DJ have got away with playing "Putting on the Ritz" laugh.gif Mind you it didnt take long for the top hat to be removed !!!

Now this time last week thumbup.gifg.gifrolleyes.gif

I thought I'd imagined him Dave--i did not have my camera with me either--i looked and he was near the right hand side of the stage and then he was gone-did me head in somewhat !

Yes this time last week and I'm still knackered !

Off up to Brid today as well to do the Sea side shuffle !

see you all soon !

By the way there are rumours of a Soul night starting in Swindon !

Well done Bridlington Team.......You have put together a cracking weekender for only £20. I'm only 18 and can surely say this blew me away.

Warm welcomes as we arrived, (Especially from Karen who began with beating my dad then followed by beating me for smoking.),

Hi my little darling, glad you enjoyed your beating, but smoking will stunt your growth and ruin your botish good looks-told your dad you look like Rachel and not HIM !!

and the weekend just got better from there on in. Didn't stray from the main room all weekend. All the DJ's played absolutely sterling spots, Especially Alex Simms, who insisted on trying to knacker me out at just 12 on the saturday afternoon's first spot. Sunday had to be the day for me though. From quarter to 2 till about quarter to 10, every single DJ had me up dancing to nearly every record......Well done Lads. Some top tuneage played.

Well looking forward to next year. I'm actually counting down the days.

all joking apart its great to see nice young people like yourself coming along to Bridlington to enjoy this music and event- bring your mates as well and show us old 'uns how to dance ! see you all next year and look after your mum and dad !

Well Done Team Brid. Absolutely Brilliant!!!

Thanks

Karen and Rob

P.S. A special thank you to "Cupid The Twat" for helping/pushing me. Appreciated it mate.

Congratulations are to be lauded on the organisers of The Bridlington Weekender for success in many areas , but for me , they succeeded in one vital and essential area - that being , despite the size and grandeur of The Spa , they turned it into an intimate venue .

Malc Burton

Well, over a week gone and we are still smiling about this great weekend. All the comments above are entirely justified with this one from Malc hitting the nail on the head. To make everyone feel right at home in such a venue is testament to the organisational and personal skills of Rob, Karen, Pat & Wicksey. Well done indeed guys. Last year was good but this was easily the best event for many a year.

We spent most of our time flitting between the rare/underplayed and the modern rooms. Favourites being John Kane & Tats in the modern and John Parker, Tony Hatfield and Mark Etheridge in the rare/underplayed. In fact, John seemed to be playing in every room, often at the same time!

To be asked to DJ at this weekend was an honour and immensely enjoyable. Thanks for all your comments at the event, on this thread and the pms I have received - it is very greatly appreciated. That last Sunday marathon was entirely Tony's idea, we had intended to double up for the last half hour before the room closed but with people streaming into the room and a very busy dance floor there was no way we could have stopped. In the end we were dragged from the decks after around 3.5 hours by the sound engineers who wanted the equipment back. Hard work and emotional but what an experience!

As many have asked for my playlist it is below. Not in the order played I'm afraid and spread over all 3 days (some played more than once due to requests) but here goes:

Well, over a week gone and we are still smiling about this great weekend. All the comments above are entirely justified with this one from Malc hitting the nail on the head. To make everyone feel right at home in such a venue is testament to the organisational and personal skills of Rob, Karen, Pat & Wicksey. Well done indeed guys. Last year was good but this was easily the best event for many a year.

John & Marolyn

Cheers John and Malc,

The room timings are going to be altered for next year mate because these rooms have gone from strength to strength and the demand is there even late into sunday eveningthumbsup.gif
