Gilly Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Had a great time me and Nicola,chatted to so many old friends and met some great new ones,George from Carlisle,chewed his ear a bit much but i think i got away with it.Thanks to Phill T who i met and within 10 minutes gave me an acetate,bizzar but very sweet,i thank you sir.Thanks to Jenny Banks for reminding me why i don't drink,and Roger for the heart to heart it was sweet.Right lets talk music,the Willingham room was the place to be only with an interval for the main reason that i go to the Prestatyn Weekender and as i said to Mr Mark Fletcher we are very lucky in life to be able to witness it all,get it while you can cus it aint gonna be around for much longer these guys are not getting any younger.The modern crowd have and must also learn from this and promote thier singers now.dont leave it to late,you dont want to in years to come look back and regret it,good luck to you.The live performance was all in all blinding,you just think about those guys are in thier late 60ts to 70ts and can belt out tunes with so much vigor.It annoys me that the pop worlds so called big names who have bathed in money through having no real tallent.You ought to get the likes of Paul McCartney or Paul Weller up on stage with them,they would'nt last 5 minutes.i thank God that i like what i like,ive been blessed.There is more soul in those old guy farts than there is in todays big money so called singers(wankers)The act that floored me was the Hesitations,the guy on main leads voice was well put it this way iff i could i would of took him back with me and Nicola to Higham and live happily as a threesome(as long as he didnt use my garage).So many thanks to Mr F Mr P and the rest of the team for doing the business.I would also like to thank Billy from Wolves in saving the two wrist bands when temptation was knocking on his door.So to everyone who we know who was there.too many to mention(that sounds a bit big headed) thanks.

Winsford Soul Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 BIG thanks to everyone who made Prestatyn yet again a FAB weekender. Only downside was the knobs in the dance room who kept turning the volume up Show some respect to other people please. But i,m sure the promoters will have it sorted for next year, they normally do. Once again thanks to all involved Best regards Steve Link to comment
CAMBRIDGE SOUL Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Great time had by all, Thursday night was busy as always and a great time to chat....thought the sound in the main room was a bit off and did not get any better all weekend, shame.... The other rooms the sounds was great although the modern arena the volume seemed low at times , maybe switching from 45's to cd's to 12" and albums caused this ??? Mark Randle played some great sets; top set for me was Bob Jones in the house of soul 90 mins of pure class Live acts in the modern arena were great but did go on a bit and to have both Friday and Saturday night broken by live acts did not do it for me ...for example the room did not get going on Sat till Mark Randle came on at midnight then it was time for a live act when he had finished ...Sat afternoon would be better for the live acts, I think Friday the live acts were still on at almost 3am! Still had a great time , just a pity the modern room is not flowing and buzzing till later, the people are there but it was just not happening , but I'm sure this can be rectified Anyway big thanks to all the hard work that was put in by all involved.

Miss Wasperella Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 (edited) First of all, MASSIVE THANKS to all the Organisers, the Artistes and the DJ's for a brilliant weekender We arrived Thursday but it felt like Friday, the place was buzzing and it stayed that way all weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed the live performances of:- Sydney Barnes The Hesitations Kenny Hamber Mary Love Stephanie Cooke Kenny Bobien William (Smoke) Howard And............. "TORTURED SOUL" all the way from Brooklyn, just absolutely blew me away - WHAT A BAND - truly MAGNIFICENT - I could have just melted on the spot, they were as "Jim Carey" would say SMOKING. I just hope my photo of these guys turns out ok on my friends camera otherwise I will be gutted. Some singers/bands just hit the spot like "Phil Perry" and The "Masqueraders" and this band did exactly the same for me - they make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. AWESOME. I will remain a life long fan. We have had an absolute blast and thanks to all my chalet friends and friends who popped in for dinner and bacon butties every day who are guilty of giving me jaw ache from all the laughing I was sat here falling asleep yesterday typing this up and DOH put it in events lookbacks - anyway copied it on here - I'm exhausted and in serious need of catching up on some zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz's. We have booked for next year and already looking forward to it Thanks again for yet another memorable weekender. x x Edited March 22, 2010 by Miss Wasperella Link to comment

Hockley Soul Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 What a great weekend, after not attending last year I am well and truly back in love with Prestatyn. A massive well done and thanks to all concerned in putting on this event. Top live acts in the main room, can't comment on the Modern acts as I never went into the Modern Room except to use the bar as it always seems easier to get served in there. One on the big high lights for me was the DJ's from the Twisted Wheel in the main room on Saturday afternoon, these guys were awesome and the punters loved it. Also great to see so many friends and familiar faces. Roll on next years 10th anniversary. Link to comment
Guest Glawster Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Few minor irritants about the weekend but too trivial to mention,as the pluses of the weekend by far out weighed them. Arrived thurs @ around 2 p.m ish and got our keys straight away,an apology for no programmes but we were told to just pop back later and they will be ready! Chalet was ............, moving swiftly on , it was mooch time,basically set the tone of the weekend,chat , cider, choons,chat, cider,choons, ye you get the drift! Nice to meet,chat and of course have a few beers with Tony and Sue from Oz. Then we spent what seemed like an age talking with Sydney Barnes and Kenny Hamber - a sheer joy , 2 top guys , this continued over the weekend,also meeting their families too. Never like to single out DJs sets 'cus being Prestatyn you can never get to listen to everyone but I thought Soul Sams closing set in the Queen Vic Fri(I think) night was an absolute joy of soul music and as we sat behind the decks on returning his choons to their well thumbed sleeve you could see the impish grin on his face! Having missed the Friday night live acts - dont really know how that happened - chat n cider must of intervened! It brought us nicely in to Saturday - for me personally Saturday makes Prestatyn for me,it starts by listening to the FANTASTIC Midnight Hour band going through their sound checks and then meeting,photographing and getting autographs from the live acts and then listening to the rehearsals! The "real deal" soon came round and what top notch performances these artist/es served upto us - QUALITY(Enough said!) Sunday became a blur after the footy and unashamedly we crashed out and missed party night!! Note to self pack the pro-plus next time! Totally enjoyable weekend spent with some top people and as always we made new friends along the way , also caught up with a few Soulful Facebookers too and of course a chat with Mike Ritson of manifesto. to all the organisers for a great time - see you in October!

carl willingham Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Enjoyed it again.Thanks to JPoole for letting us loose on the radio on Friday. .Did think numbers were down a little Friday afternoon,but seemed to pick up by Saturday. Top old nite in Redemption,but still the same problem from the funky mob next door.I guess they have better equipment in the bass area.Cranking it up in Redemption only antagonised them more .Great to meet up with like minded people.Too many to mention. Nice to meet Dave Abbot's partner.I'm still not Cliff Steele,but didn't have the heart to tell her straightaway. Thanks also to SteveL for the words of wisdom on the way home.The Big bang Theory,The Crusades,Time travel,Ghosts and UFO's all worthy subjects. Down side was the smell in the Modern room.Like someone had washed a labrador.Not as tho i spent much time in there. Link to comment
carl willingham Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Like many of you carl and i are still recovering from the marathon niter in the redemption suite,lots to reflect on when we're a little more rested, for now though we wanted to thank everyone who played their part in the night, both djs and fellow enthusiasts, who created such a wonderful atmosphere. maria and carl Link to comment

All rooms buzzin',live acts amazing (see photo gallery),gr8 to be with our friends (welsh crew) plus other cronies from Wigan,Mancland, geordieland etc. did wonder why that room went thump thump thump all night,could hear it in carpark near residential properties at 4 am,bet they were impressed (questioned whether this is part of our scene?) loved seeing main room rammed fri and sat nights,need to get my feet working as they were 2 years ago now I have more time to get out,talking of which,want to book chalet for next year,can anyone point me in the right direction plz? had this now,thanx to John Poole all in all,I found this weekender bloody great and much improved with more "on the scene" in attendance,roll on next year.

Moderns not for me either , I had a discussion about the modern room with someone and we came up with what we thought was played in there, one track was 3 hrs long,the other was 2 hrs long and then played on a"loop" for the entire weekender! It appeared busy in there and each to their own but when it "bled" into the main arena when the live acts were on,in my opinion, I thought smacked a bit of disrespect! Let alone the constant battle with the redemption room! - Tin hat firmly in place now ( yes I know i was captured on film in the modern room last year! before someone mentions it! lol) Link to comment

MartynJJ Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Wow..what a weekend. That was my 2nd Prestatyn following from last years inaugral visit and it didn't dissapoint. As always for me the high spots are Saturday mornings listening to the live acts rehearsing and this time we caught the Hesitations. I knew we were in for a good night but I was absolutely blown away by it all. Just going through my photos' and trying to get the best ones sorted and put away. This one was taken Sunday night (monday morning lol). It's been photoshopped a little just to try and make it a bit different. Hopefully you'll like it. Thanks to everyone who organised and I'm now looking for regular soul nights to attend in the North West as I'm exiled up here in Stockport (originally from Nottingham) Link to comment
Stuart Bower Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 (edited)  Yes, year after year this place seems to tick all the right boxes for us. Somebody asked me what I thought stuck out as the highlight of this year's weekender in North Wales and for the first time I couldn't answer. Why? Because everything (especially the acts) were of such a high standard that it was good all across the board. The highlight was everything...Even the people which (mysteriously) don't seem to see eye to eye with us seemed quite amiable. Maybe there is hope for these people after all.  Also always nice to see old friends from days gone by and taking the opportunity to make and meet brand new friends. And at the same time thinking of absent friends sadly no longer with us.. Plus an opportunity to "break out of the musical bubble" for the weekend as it were and listen to the alternative styles (and eras) of our diverse, strange, weird and wonderful world of soul I have had the privilege to be part of since 1973... All in all, another good experience to remember.  Edited March 23, 2010 by Stuart Bower Link to comment

P.S.If there are anybody out there who would like to do a Show,please contact me. Hi Colin, I had a ball doing my two shows, I was representing Soulfusion Modern room so not a 60's track in site mate. however I have recorded my sets and they came out very well, if anybody would like copies I am more than happy to supply. Hope i didn't wake you up as i was in the chalet next to you and had my tunes playing on an amplified portable player. strangely we didn't speak this time, last year I bumped into you several times. anyway I really enjoyed doing mt DJ sets in the modern room & northern room and on the radio too. On a technical note, someone had been messing about with the wiring in there and neil Rushton was having problems with the Microphone not coming out over the airwaves, I had to sort it out, it was a bit of a mess in there, not sure who was on before Neil, but the microphone must have been working at some stage. anyway I managed to figure it out int time for my show. needless to say you can put me down for October. best regards Neil Link to comment
Tabs Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Can't add an awful lot to whats already been said. Just a superb weekender. The people, atmosphere, acts, the company, music - absolutely brill. Great to see so many friends all enjoying themselves under one roof. Won't do a name check as too many too list, but they all know who they are. Always good to put faces to names so great to meet toffee lady. Thanks to my traveling companion Marge who definitely made the trek there and back a lot more enjoyable. But special thanks to Joy and Isis for there hospitality, endless cups of tea and most importantly there company. Had a ball. Roll on the anniversary. Link to comment
Jumpinjoan Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I have to say we had a great time in the Redemption tent on Saturday night. Loads of great music and laughs. Shame about the dance floor being more uneven than last year. How we all managed to stay upright I don't know. And don't get me started on the boom boom boys next door. WTF is that all about! Surely something that can be done about it? Sound proof boards perhaps? I guess there will always be some noise coming through but I'm sure a nice even dance floor would go a long way to making us feel a little more forgiving next year Yet again the live acts were superb I would love to see Ronnie Walker on here. He would take the roof off! Link to comment

Think maybe a cable got dislodged from the master mixer, I traced it round the room and it went along the back and into the main mixer, gave it a push home and it was working again, there were a couple of loose cable connected to nothing on the table which caused confusion. this didn't detract from my time in there though, I have got over 35 years experience with cabling up audio equipment so go through a process of checking things in a certain order. will be happy to do a sixties set in there looking forward to it already. regards neil Link to comment

Suzannek Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Just to say I really enjoyed my first Prestatyn. My only criticism is like a lot of folks the noise cranked up in the House of Pain....I mean Soul tent leaking into the Redemption room. Cannot both the modern rooms be combined and put in the large room where the Soul Fusion room is or the House of Soul stuff be put in the Queen Vic, just a suggestion. Tended to go between the R&B room, Rare Soul Room and the Main Room and enjoyed my time spent in all three. Loved the company of my Chalet mates me sis Lee-ann, Phil and John and Sandra Brown. Thanks to John and Sandra for the laugh and the lift down to Prestatyn. Was great seeing folk I've never seen for ages and sorry about the people I never bumped into or mebbe they were hiding .

TOAD Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 my thoughts are that the system in the redemption room just wasnt good enough! Link to comment
