Cost too much money matesad.gif would have been ideal but at £6K and the current performances ...need I say more

however we have plans a foot and if England ARE playing saturday the game will be showing in the Spa-so no need to hide away in a pub with a long trek back to the Spa-I nearly told them to "Cancel that 60 inch Plasma !" with fridays showing, but the provision is there.

More when England qualify

ACCOMMODATION (NEAR TO THE SPA) & 2 TICKETS

A personal friend of mine (not a member on here) has been taken into hospital and they now cannot make the weekender.

They have booked and paid a deposit of £40 (which they are happy to lose - your gain). Original cost was £30pp each night. With the deposit now paid, it will cost you £23pp each night (incl b/fast)

The accommodation is very near to the Spa. The room is a double with en-suite.

The booking is: Fri, Sat & Sun night (including breakfast). You only have a balance of: £140 to pay. (plus of course the 2 tickets at £20 each)

Anyone interested, please PM me, or ring me on: 07770777548

Thanks, Bridgey

PS: I work away and will try and get on line tonight and answer any PM's ASAP (or update this post)........ Many Thanks

Any one posted a DJ schedule of who's on when and where or has it not been decided yet ? or I may have missed it on one of the earlier pages.

We won't be there until Saturday lunchtime and would like to see who we are missing on Friday Night

Also Sunday afternoon will be particularly interesting now that England are through.

first time @ 'bridd' for me and netty, wondered what all the fuss was about.

only managed to get there for the saturday due to work committments.

took longer to find a parking space than to drive up from skegg but when we got there found out 'tats' and hamsey were doing a just soul two-hour set in the 'club' room.....bonus!

the only problem with this was i knew (musically at least) the rest of the day would be 'down-hill'.

but, music aside, far from it, the five 'genre' rooms served bespoked soul and dance for each of the diverse taste 'groups' on this scene of ours.

if one was a bit 'tired' of one type then it was only a small walk to find another 'type' of soul to satisfy one's needs.

the main room a positive cathedral of latter years dedicated to the celebration of northern soul itself.

thought john vincent and pete taylor stole it for me sat evening, a lot of the tunes were predictable but none-the-less appropriate for the massive throng of appreciators of northern soul that had gathered to pay homage.

dee-jays playing to the floor, as it should be with the 'floor' reacting with both energy and passion.

the 'club' room, a chameleon changing styles as each 'club' representative took his or her turn, great adverts for those clubs and great variety in a room so small but packed with so much atmosphere.

the magic of my first bridlington was summed up while in the 'rare' room, dancing to Mick & Mo's selection of soul (as topper top draw as one could wish to open) while looking through the large window and watching the full moon rising over the sea, made one think of ancient times when people celebrated this event with beats and dance before the word 'moon' had ever been uttered (or any word for that matter).

a fantastic day, well done promoters, even the 'security' staff were so well mannered and efficient, nothing over-looked by you guys to make our experience so very, very good in deed.

just might try and make more than one day next year now we've found out just what all the fuss is actually about.

well put Coops.. 'spot' of the weekend for myself was Pat Brady on the sat night. John Vincent followed with some very very unpredictable tunes ...... 'The Zoo' & 'I love music' being two of them. refreshing to hear both played :lol:

We'll see ya's all next year hatsoff2.gif:lol:

p.s. was a pleasure to meet and chat with 'Phoenix' , a lovely guy who enjoys his music

Just returned from my first Bridsoul weekender, my thoughts as follow for any interested, apologies for the length of em

Excellent venue, organisation, everything really. As previously stated, even the security were laid back and chatty/willing to have the craic with you. Told me they'd love to work at do's like this fulltime, never a penn'arth of bother.

On a personal note, and please this is no criticism of the organisers, i prefer more subdued lighting. I like to be a silhouette getting into my own private tryst with the greatest style of music ever, eyes closed, singing to myself, in much darker rooms, whereas especially on the Saturday night i think it was lighter inside than i've ever seen in a venue. Again, not a criticism, someone stated that perhaps someone had commented that the vendors on the balcony had thought the lighting too low on the Friday, so perhaps it was a response to that. You certainly cant please all the people all of the time, but Rob, Karen et al certainly succeeded more than most. Maybe just me being a bit shy and self conscious, although there are some of us about.

The heat inside also, but that's down to me (memo to self - lose 3 stone before next year!) I came off the dance floor like an alka seltzer, the Sat afty sesh was good as a door leading to the beach was open for some respite, I politely asked the doorman if he may enquire with his gaffer if it could be left open for the night do, but probably H&S or fire regs against it, or the danger of ne'er do wells attempting entry without paying.

The variety of rooms worked well, i just came off the floor in the main room after The Impressions - 'you've been cheating', went into the rare/underplayed room and Dave Ferguson played the Hyperions - cue another sweatfest on the dancefloor.

There were queues at the bars, but think feedback from previous years had been listened to as there were helpful staff directing people to bars in nearby rooms with smaller queues

I missed Wigan by a whisker, my first 'proper' nighters were when me and a mate used to hitch-hike fortnightly to Clifton Hall, so I am sure i have missed seeing some brilliant dancers, but there was a fella dancing in the main room over the 3 days who was the best i have ever seen. I thought it may have been that Carl Piper chap who i have never met but seen on You tube, but this bloke looked a lot younger. There were many great dancers at the event, acrobats, perpetual motion, spinners etc, but this bloke was something else, his moves were almost choreographed, fluid and like poetry. Over the years i have always complimented people whose moves I admire, glad to say this chap was very modest and for the rest of the weekend we were on smiling and greeting terms, another good thing about the scene.

Would definately go again, haven't been to a weekender since Fleetwood and Cleethorpes ~10 years ago, will certainly try some more, and be back at Brid for seconds.

Congrats and thanks to all, very easy to look for fault but without these folks giving so much of their time, events like this wouldn't exist
