WELCOME TO SOULVATION NEWQUAY

THE FRIENDLY SOUL WEEKENDER

APRIL 30 TO MAY 2, 2010

STOP PRESS... Our accommodation is now sold out. We still have a few Weeknder Passes available but they are selling out fast

Following the success of the Soulvation Newquay Weekender in April 2009, we are delighted to be able to announce details of our 2010 event. This is a 3 day/night event taking place over the Bank Holiday Weekend, Friday April 30 to Sunday May 2 inclusive. We have moved the event to The Cliffdene Hotel, this means we can offer accommodation for over 100 on the same site as the music. We believe this will improve what has been rightly praised as "the friendly weekender". Another bonus is that both the Rare/Northern Soul rooms and the Modern Soul lounge will be on the same floor.

The music played last time was top notch and the DJ's confirmed so far guarantee more Soul satisfaction in the unique surroundings of Cornwall. Northern/Rare - Mick H, Pete Lyster, Sean Chapman, Pete Hullat, Nick Hackett, Nige Brown, Neil Rushton, Andy McCabe, Ady Heaney, Derek Mead. Modern Soul Lounge - Terry Jones, Sean Livesey, Neil Rushton, Neil Self.

Friday afternoon will kick off with a champagne meet-and-greet session in the bar at The Cliffdene followed by the evening session when the party really gets started. Saturday afternoon we move on to a bar overlooking the world famous Fistral Beach - home of the UK Surfing scene - for a mix up of Rare and Modern Soul. Saturday night we are back at The Cliffdene for another evening session. Sunday afternoon will be devoted to "Not The Northern Soul Top 500" and "Modern Soul Anthems" sessions at The Cliffdene and then Sunday evening it's the finale party.

FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT SESSONS - 8PM TILL 4AM

The accommodation package will include freshly cooked breakfast and 3 course evening meal. You can choose between staying Friday and Saturday for £99 (includes Weekend Music Pass) or for just another £30 add Sunday as well and enjoy the Bank Holiday Weekend. We have a double, twin and (limited number) single rooms, please specify your choice. Prices are per person.

If you wish to find your own accommodation that is fine, but please note the capacity at The Cliffdene is limited to 150, which means we have just 50 Weekend Passes available, these are £30 each.

HOW TO BOOK

Purchase your Weekender Pass now for just £30, or secure your accommodation with a non-refundable deposit of just £30. Please note that there is an additional 90p administration charge applied to all on-line bookings.

WEEKENDER PASS

THE CLIFFDENE HOTEL, NEWQUAY

we are !!! Heard so many good things about this weekender , just had to give it a go .

[Neil Rushton]

Looks being the best Newquay Weekender yet! Many thanks to everyone who has booked up. If you have paid a deposit for the Accomodion/Pass package you will be contacted in the next week or so asking for the balance.

Accomodation packages gone but if anybody wants to Weekender Passes they are available at £30 each.

Missing on the DJ rosta posted above is laconic Lancastrian Pete Eccles who will be holding his 50th birthday celebrations at the Weekend....so I think we can safely assume The Cliffdene will be enjoying their best bar takings ever! He should have been included in the list ages ago but I forgot...sorry Pete.

We go on big time about Newquay being "the friendly weekender" but that's exactly what it is....the laid back Cornish vibe well and truly prevails and is backed up by some amazing music from the DJ's who always pull out the stops. It's not the biggest Weekender but is definitely one of the best around...just ask Mick H, who is bringing 15 with him this time. For this Weekender we have moved on from The Griffin to The Cliffdene which means we have most of the accomodation on the same site as the musical frolics and we can carry on playing the records until 4am - at The Griffin we never quite knew when the plug would be pulled!

By arrangement with Jo and Tony of Soul Fixins' the 2nd yearlly Newquay Weekender of the year will from now will also be promoted by Soulvation - details for a Weekender at The Clifffdene from October 1 to 3 are being put togeher now. First options for deposits on booking will be given to people in attendance at the next one. Thanks to Jo and Tony for passing out the baton is such a friendly way...pleased to say that Tony will be DJ'ing at the October bash.

All the Best,

Neil

[Neil Rushton]

Thought it might be a good idea if the DJ's could give a flavour of the event by listing some of the tunes they will be playing at Newquay?

To kick it off, here's a few from me for the Northern room

LOVE AIN'T LOVE - FLORENCE BALLARD (ABC)

Just had the great pleasure of meeting the wonderful Robert Bateman who produced this gem. Have always loved it, but can't stop now playing it after hearing from Robert all about the recordiing session. Van McCoy, who wrote the song, popped along to see how things were going and ended up doing backing vcoals!

SPEAK YOUR PEACE -THE FABULOUS PEPS (D-TOWN)

THE PROOF OF YOUR LOVE - JACKIE & THE TONETTS (D-TOWN)

CRYING DAYS ARE OVER - KELLY BROTHERS (SIMS)

MAGIC CORNER - BELITTA WOODS (KAREN)

A NEW DAY BEGINS - THE PARLIAMENTS (REVILOT)

JUST TO MAKE YOU HAPPY - SHIRLEY KAROL (DAKAR)

LONELY YOU'LL BE - JOHNNIE MAE MATTHEWS (JAM)

TRUST IN ME - JACKIE ROSS (NORTHERN SOUL STORIES)

THE GENERATION GAP - CARL CARLTON

(I Can) DEAL WITH THAT - DEE EDWARDS (DE-TO)

I DON'T WANT TO LOSE YOU - THE EVER GREEN BLUES (MERCURY)

ALL ABOUT THE PAPER - THE DELLS (20th CENTURY FOX)

STOP STEPPIN' ON MY DREAMS - JERRY BUTLER (MERCURY)

DIDN'T I TELL YOU - LOU RAGLAND (INFERNO)

ME AND YOU (DOIN' THE BOOGALOO) - LOU COURTNEY (MIRASOUND ACETATE - LOOKS A BIT SEXIER THAN SOUSSAN'S BOOTLEG!)

All the Best,

Neil

I see check in is at 14.00 now that means we can enjoy another amazing breakfast at Watergate bay , (my treat this time ooooooooooh they have the most amazing earl grey tea !

Then have a trip to Padstow and sample some fresh crab and baby mac's and then double back for a nice lunchtime get together followed by a cream tea and that's before we have lashings of Ginger beer and Soul .

Ahh Cakeboy, wouldn't miss your birthday for the world darling

In fact, me, Ange & Kim of the South London Massive are planning a Top Gear-style race to Newquay (with suitable handicaps), probably plane vs Aston Martin vs Lambretta GP. Loser has to buy all Eccles' birthday drinks for the whole weekend, so there may be some remortgaging required

So I am faced with a top weekender in a resort I have never visited, but heard so much about, with the best company and free beer?

It couldn't get any better if Carlsberg sponsored it

Knew it was too good to last Carms us Boltonians consider ourselves no more Manc than you,

Gravy? I will be sorely disappointed if the local KFC can't oblige on that score if not it will have to be cream tea and buttered scones

[Nige Brown]

You really do have an identity problem dont you Albert!!

Your from Farnworth not Bolton,, get over it!

Carms,

We'll both be there, be great to see you 2 again .

There's another great tradition about this weekender for Mancs too - it's always at the extreme business end of the footie season, and for the last 3 years everything has turned out rather well !! So we have to go in any event being superstitious buggers, don't want to jinx a good run - [ could be 4 on the bounce and all that ].

Just so happens it's one of the very very best weekenders anyway too!!

He's a woolyback Nige , you got to expect it actually I have adopted Manchester Pete ... I think I have done my time in this fantastic city and would be proud to hang its RED colours at the end of my big toe. ( I start to learn Polish next week )

I can't really say where I am from being such a travelled child ... Dad did the Navy and Army which cause me never to stay in one place too long.

Actually what I should have said is Newquay is full of Northerners not Mancs , they love it because it is so welcoming always basking in sunshine .

[Theresa]

Gravy? I will be sorely disappointed if the local KFC can't oblige on that score

Neil has assured me that in an effort to satisfy your every whim Pete, he will be laying on a special 'gravy train' from Narrowcliff down to the KFC in Bank Street, which will leave the Cliffdene Hotel every 5 mins, 24 hours a day over the bank holiday weekend. You will also be able to swim in fresh gravy in the hotel pool each morning. See, he's thought of everything

Well 3 weeks to go and the sunshine had brought in loads of enquiries this week about availability of Hotel Rooms and Weekend Passes for the Weekender.

All the hotel accomodation/weekender passes sold out ( Andy Bellwood has gone down as a legend by travelling down LAST weekend (!) all the way from Yorkshire by mistake and cannot make it on the right date, but his room was snapped up right away. He passes on his good comments about the Cliffdene Hotel. The people there managed to get him a room but had a panic for a second or two as they thought 200 Soulies were about to descend on them. Brilliant!)

Weekend Passes - Got a limited amount available @ £30 each. They can be ordered securely on line - www.soulvation.biz

Let's up the good weather continues.

All the Best,

Hi Neil yes less than 3 weeks to now and really looking forward to my 1st visit to the Newquay weekender. looking forward to meeting a few folks I admire from the Northern & Modern scene.

plus meeting up with lots of friends on the scene, Gloucestershire will be well represented with at least a dozen of us making the trip down.

will be bringing a mixed bag of soul tunes to spin for you all.

Modern room sets from me will contain some nice mellow sides plus some steppers and some more uptempo soulful house outings to boot.

on the northern side I will be playing some top quality classics alongside some very nice underplayed gems just to keep it interesting.

Can't wait,

It will mean I will have spent my last four or five outings in the company of Nige Brown!!!! The bugger hasn't bought me a beer yet though!!!

maybe I'll manage to get one of those nice west country Ciders out of him at the weekender!!!!

best regards

Neil Self

WELCOME TO SOULVATION NEWQUAY

THE FRIENDLY SOUL WEEKENDER

APRIL 30 TO MAY 2, 2010

STOP PRESS... Our accommodation is now sold out. We still have a few Weeknder Passes available but they are selling out fast

Following the success of the Soulvation Newquay Weekender in April 2009, we are delighted to be able to announce details of our 2010 event. This is a 3 day/night event taking place over the Bank Holiday Weekend, Friday April 30 to Sunday May 2 inclusive. We have moved the event to The Cliffdene Hotel, this means we can offer accommodation for over 100 on the same site as the music. We believe this will improve what has been rightly praised as "the friendly weekender". Another bonus is that both the Rare/Northern Soul rooms and the Modern Soul lounge will be on the same floor.

The music played last time was top notch and the DJ's confirmed so far guarantee more Soul satisfaction in the unique surroundings of Cornwall. Northern/Rare - Mick H, Pete Lyster, Sean Chapman, Pete Hullat, Nick Hackett, Nige Brown, Neil Rushton, Andy McCabe, Ady Heaney, Derek Mead. Modern Soul Lounge - Terry Jones, Sean Livesey, Neil Rushton, Neil Self.

Friday afternoon will kick off with a champagne meet-and-greet session in the bar at The Cliffdene followed by the evening session when the party really gets started. Saturday afternoon we move on to a bar overlooking the world famous Fistral Beach - home of the UK Surfing scene - for a mix up of Rare and Modern Soul. Saturday night we are back at The Cliffdene for another evening session. Sunday afternoon will be devoted to "Not The Northern Soul Top 500" and "Modern Soul Anthems" sessions at The Cliffdene and then Sunday evening it's the finale party.

FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT SESSONS - 8PM TILL 4AM

The accommodation package will include freshly cooked breakfast and 3 course evening meal. You can choose between staying Friday and Saturday for £99 (includes Weekend Music Pass) or for just another £30 add Sunday as well and enjoy the Bank Holiday Weekend. We have a double, twin and (limited number) single rooms, please specify your choice. Prices are per person.

If you wish to find your own accommodation that is fine, but please note the capacity at The Cliffdene is limited to 150, which means we have just 50 Weekend Passes available, these are £30 each.

[Neil Rushton]

Just back from a pre-Weekender trip to Newquay and everything looking great. Everyone at The Cliffdene was very impressed with the good grace with which Andy Bellwood took the news at Easter that he had travelled down from York on the wrong weekend, and say if everyone is as good humoured as Andy, they will be very happy (mind you, there's also a theory going around that Andy was sent down on a a spying mission by Spot to find the best bedroom...)

All accomodation long gone at the hotel, but still have some weekender music passes available @ £30 each. They can be ordered on-line from the web site -

www.soulvation.biz

Check in is available at The Cliffdene from 2pm on the Friday and weekend passes for those not staying at the hotel will also be available at the same time from the hotel reception.

There's a bucks fizz reception at the hotel from 5pm on the Friday. After dinner, music kicks off from 8pm and carries on until 4am. Simon White and Steve Lloyd have been added to the DJ line up in the Modern lounge (saw Terry Jones at the weekend and he can't wait to do his thing in the Modern Room).

Saturday afternoon the action takes place at the very funky FISTRAL BLU beach over, which is in prime position overlooking Fistral Beach, home of the UK surfing scene. The bar has speakers outside and inside so everyone will be able to have a mooch around and still hear the music...the bar has got a cafe above it selling pizzas, fish and chips and so on, and above that is a very nice restaurant which is really swish and has a view over the beach and the Atlantic Ocean which is absolutel fantastic. The restaurant is open from 12 till 3pm and menus and other info is on their web site -

www.fistral-blu.co.uk

Fistral beach is about 20 minutes walk from The Cliffdene and you get it via Newquay town centre, so the opportunity is there to head for the town, find a pub or a bar for a first drink and then head to the beach bar. Music on the afternoon will be Northern & Modern with an uplifting vibe to tie in with the sunshine we will hopefully get over the weekend.

Saturday night it's back to The Cliffdene for Northern and Modern sessions from 8pm till 4am and on the Sunday afternoon (lots of folk staying over on the Sunday this year) both rooms will be open, then on Sunday night after dinner it's a finale session in the one room.

Newquay has become known as the friendly weekender and this is going to be the best one yet.

All the Best,

Neil

Oh Yes less than a week to go now!!

Hope Rob's leg has healed up enough to be able to make it, he's been in hospital for a few days, got an infection in the wound, but was hoping to be out Saturday.

Ann and I had a laugh this morning at the thought of Rob heading off into the distance in a wheelchair LOL!!!!!

Neil Rushton said he would let us know later on today what the roster for the weekender would be, hopefully he will post it up on here for us all to peruse.

Best Neil self

Purely to build up our strength for the weekend you understand, Kim & I are kicking off proceedings with lunch at Jamie Oliver's on Friday

We'll be sure to leave some room for cake

[Guest bish]

Count down to show time

[Theresa]

We've managed to shimmy into the Cliffdene, but before I release it, does anyone want a double room for Sat & Sun at the Best Western hotel in Newquay? It's £140 for the 2 nights. PM me if you'd like it, it's booked, but doesn't need to be paid until you get there.
