Gouch Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Troop: This is a straight lift from what will be in the programme. Once again I welcome you all to the 'Jim Wray Lounge' and as usual we open the doors to the worlds one and only 'original' room where you will hear the finest soul music, traditionally aired by some of the countries top hoarders, featuring deep, sweet, ballads, two step etc. This year is no different and Friday night sees the arrival of the Spanish Soul armada. The 'Lounge' on Friday night will be the place to be. What else is there to be said about Saturdays in the 'Lounge', a whole day of just sitting and wallowing in everything that is great about our music? And again I've put together a group of avid collectors that will cater for your every soul need, staying with my tried and tested approach of regulars and new faces side by side. It seems that other venues are putting on similar rooms at there functions more notably the 'Cotton Club' in Bilbao on the Saturday afternoon of the 'Soul 4 Real' weekender, the last one was a roaring success and we at Soul Essence can only hope and pray that more venues follow our lead and provide a room for this aspect of our music. Soul On Gouch Saturday: 11-12 Alejandro Aguayo 12-1 Andy Dyson 1-2 Steve Plumb 2-3 John Reed 3-4 Bob Jones 4-5 Gouch 5-6 John Farrell 6-7 Dave Halsall 7-8 Fraser Dunne Well, there you have it, this years line up is as strong as ever and I for one, as usual,can't wait.If you've never been to the Yarmouth Weekender and sampled the 'Lounge' then you really are missing one of 'THE' soulful experiences. See ya there. Gouch Link to comment

Guest Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Its Monday. I have just got home from the Stafford reunion. And I'm fooked.

Guest Adam G Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Its Monday. I have cramp in some strange places... The strangest place I had cramp was a village in east Cleveland called Brotton. Two Primary schools 300 kids with only two Surnames between the lot of em!. The cramp in question was a severe calf cramp due to walking from a pub to my sisters house ( who mistakenly moved there in belief it was a country Village and not as it turned out a center for unemployable lunatics). Its full of those people you see wandering aimlessly around Yarmouth on the Sat morning! see you on Friday we land around 4.00. Adam Link to comment
