June 7, 201014 yr first post and straight in with a flyer Post about price edited --to all our mates who are attending and DJ ing there this weekend. HAVE A GREAT TIME--hope the sun shines for you all Edited August 11, 201014 yr by Karen and Rob Wigley
June 7, 201014 yr Was told tickets are about £50 a day to get in - you should see the price of traders stalls aswell Rob!!! Alan
June 7, 201014 yr Sorry I didn't mean to cause offense. I was just trying to open a bit of dialogue up whether people were going or not, or what they thought of the line up etc, as not many people in Newcastle are going with it being the other side of the country. I'm clearly not up to scratch with this introduction malarky.
June 8, 201014 yr I really fancy it but yes it is a wee bit pricy! Joe Bataan, Ann Sexton......It's a dear do for two of you tho. Camping and car parking is extra too!
June 8, 201014 yr Kids under 12 get in free, I believe - We're going 'en famille' on one of the days, haven't decided which one yet. As Al says, it's not too pricey for a day ticket, all things considered...
June 8, 201014 yr Was told tickets are about £50 a day to get in - you should see the price of traders stalls aswell Rob!!! Alan Afternoon Alan Think ticket is £55 per day which I assume are typical festival prices Not being much of a tree hugger i wouldn't know if that was good or bad.........but here is the bang you get for your bucks on SUNDAY MAIN STAGE SOUL CASINO ONE (70s) curated by Eddie Piller LeRoy Hutson Craig Charles Funk And Soul Show DJ Geno Washington And The Ram Jam Band Deep Funk DJ The Third Degree Marshall Chess and Fred Ekander DJ Rox Chris Bangs (Soul In One) DJ The Pickle John Timlin DJ SOUL CASINO TWO (70s) curated by Eddie Piller Chris Hill DJ Ian Dewhirst DJ Chris Bangs DJ Ady Croadell (6Ts/100 Club) DJ Val Palmer DJ Corinne Drewery (Swing Out Sister) DJ Wayne Hemingway DJ Richard Searle DJ Jo Wallace DJ THE WAREHOUSE (80s) curated by Greg Wilson Greg Wilson DJ Jazzie B DJ Optimo DJ Idjut Boys DJ Winston Hazel DJ George Power DJ Les Spaine DJ THE ROLLER DISCO curated by Greg Wilson Joe Negro DJ Disco Bloodbath DJ Pablo Contraband (Disco Deviant) DJ Simon The Preacher DJ Steve Kotey DJ Evening: 'Futurama' Special Guests TBA Mark Jones - Back To The Phuture DJ Heaven 17 Gaggle Afternoon: 'Total Pop' Special Guests TBA Chris Sullivan (Wag Club) DJ Kid Creole And The Coconuts THE TORCH CLUB (40s) curated by Snowboy Ray Gelato Corinne Drewery (Swing Out Sister) (torch set) Simon Donald Gwendoline Lamour The Swing Commanders Kate Garner Plus In Hartley DJ The Floor Technicians The Beaux Belles Tap Classes LET IT ROCK (50s) curated by Luke Morgan The Damned Matchbox Keb Darge DJ (50s set) The Lonnie Donegan Band with Pete Donegan Jessie And The Orbits Dragster The Puppini Sisters Simon The Preacher DJ Plus The Lady Luck Club (late night club) Jive Classes and Roller Girls THE LEISURE DOME (60s) curated by Mike Flowers Pretty Things The Swingle Singers People Like Us The Pretty Things with Arthur Brown performing 'SF Sorrow' Frank Sidebottom Thunderbirds Are Go The Karminsky Experience Jonny Trunk Ken Nordine's 'Colors' Pretty Things Arthur Brown Plus The Indigo Club (late night club) The Martini Kings Rory Moore Sounds good to me!
June 8, 201014 yr I may go mad and go for the Saturday night and take my tent. It's been a while since I went to a proper festival. In fact it's been a while since I put my tent up..I attempted it in the garden the other day but failed miserably. I think I may need to get one of those pop up tents
June 8, 201014 yr I'm down for the Sunday night which is just as well as I've got the 100 Club on the Saturday. It's certainly ambitious and different so let's hope it goes well. Ady

In fact it's been a while since I put my tent up..I attempted it in the garden the other day but failed miserably. I think I may need to get one of those pop up tents I was only saying to Helen last Saturday night, after a nice bottle of Merlot, that it's been a while since I put my tent up. Sadly, from the respose I got I think she feels my camping days may be over... ...can you get those pop up tents on the NHS, d'you reckon?
June 17, 201014 yr i'm going too. we'll be playing a set on one of the evenings but i think i would be going anyway. its a very ecelctic mix with some well respected acts. i go to the goodwood revival probably every other year and if it is anywhere near as well done as that it will be great. there will be a whole lot more on offer than just the music too. as for prices, its about average festival price. not really the (mainstream) superstar acts you get at many festivals but its not about that with this ...... and the other stuff on offer should make it a great experience. will be in a camper van though, i think my tent days are gone

I'm not DJing at all, just going as a punter. Summat different if you ask me? ................although I'm copping out and B&Bing it Cheers Steve
June 18, 201014 yr definitely something different, a real good mix of styles/eras. if i wasn't in the camper van i'd be tempted to travel up and back from portsmouth. its only about a 30 min drive ........ and a guy i know locally has chartered an old red routemaster bus to go up and back on the saturday. i think the event itself has done the same for people arriving by train. of course, they could always get a cab!
August 10, 201014 yr I'm really looking forward to the whole weekend actually! I'm not DJing at all, just going as a punter. Summat different if you ask me? ................although I'm copping out and B&Bing it Cheers Steve Me too! Not been to a festival since 1977. Got 2 weekend tickets (for me and my sis) + camping + car parking for £150 off ebay last night. Result cos if i'd have gone through the official website it would have cost about £305! Really looking forward to Joe Bataan!
August 10, 201014 yr Was told tickets are about £50 a day to get in - you should see the price of traders stalls aswell Rob!!! Alan 2 for 1 Offer on AOL for AOL users,still cant afford it
August 10, 201014 yr Wouldn't mind going to see Jessie & The Orbits. Mind you that's only because it's my mates daughter who's the singer!
August 10, 201014 yr 55 quid for a day pass???? Anyone know how much a bottle of warm water will be ? Edited August 10, 201014 yr by SHSDave
August 11, 201014 yr From Eddie Piller...... just had an odd request from my vintage ar goodwood boss wayne hemingway - he's asked me if there are any soul record dealers who would like to sell discs by the side of the stage in the soul casino! over the weekend (a la wigan etc)- no rent either and you gat a free pass - genuine dealers only but mail me if you are one!! ed@acidjazz.co.uk

Anyhow, anyone going for the weekend, or even for just Sunday, come and check out me stall! I think i'm on 'Penny Lane' Cheers Steve
August 11, 201014 yr Anyone else going to this? https://www.vintageatgoodwood.com i'm going, got all the camping gear just need some hotpants now for the roller disco!
August 11, 201014 yr Sorry I didn't mean to cause offense. I was just trying to open a bit of dialogue up whether people were going or not, or what they thought of the line up etc, as not many people in Newcastle are going with it being the other side of the country. I'm clearly not up to scratch with this introduction malarky. Take no notice!!
August 11, 201014 yr I'll be there on the Sunday along with 5 other freinds & family. We're on holiday in Dorset anyway so it's only a short drive. £55 for a day ticket 'aint that bad for what's actually on - Ali & I have been to many festivals over the years and they're extremely pricey these days. What's not listed in the programme which I heard today is that Johnnie Walkers Sounds of the Seventies show will be live with guests The Faces. I read recently that Rod the mod won't be re-joining and that Mick Hucknall is his replacement!! Might be interesting. Mick
August 11, 201014 yr the site is looking good from some of the pics they've released. high st: the curry house: the cocktail bar: and the leisure dome ... complete with orange carpet:
August 11, 201014 yr Thinking about Friday - but getting back on the train may well make it a no go. Anybody got a spare tent for 2 or place to crash the night? Happy to pay Cheers Col.
August 11, 201014 yr There seems to have been a "reality Check" with prices from the original gumph i'd like to wish all who are going and the organisers the best of luck with this-from small acorns mighty oaks do grow-- i'd looked early on and unless you "Camp" it was way too expensive however with a bit of savvy it can be done at a reasonable price Ive listen to wayne on BBC Radio2 and its all systems go--if my knee was in better shape and the battery not flat on the karrman Ghia I'd seriously consider it HAVE A GREAT TIME ALL WHO ATTEND Rob & Karen
August 11, 201014 yr Me too! Not been to a festival since 1977. Got 2 weekend tickets (for me and my sis) + camping + car parking for £150 off ebay last night. Result cos if i'd have gone through the official website it would have cost about £305! Really looking forward to Joe Bataan! See you on Sunday Mark! I can't wait. It's gonna be a great weekend:thumbsup: .
August 11, 201014 yr Yep, really looking forward to this. It's pretty ambitious but I think they may have hit the nail on the head with this type of event. Someone for everyone by the looks of it with interesting live acts for all, fashion for the ladies and the more sartorially elegant among us, plenty of attractions for families and, most important, plenty of Soul from all eras with a well-though-through line-up so big props to Wayne and all the curators. I think it'll be a belter! How's the weather looking? Ian D
August 12, 201014 yr used to have a off the cuff bit of a laugh rule on here many years ago i used to hit johnnie ot with it now and again was along the lines of if ya plug a event more than 5 times you are duty bound to do a review seeing that this has been left up here in aats (due its one off sort of unusual event feel) am sure that with all the pics, artists mentioned and that there be a few who be curious how it all went so would any of you going be up for throwing a lookback up after it all ?
August 12, 201014 yr Yep, I can do a review of the Saturday/Sunday but it could be very subjective 'cos I'm almost guaranteed to have a good time - too many mates there to fail really. So you'll get a predictably optimistic slant from me I reckon. Hopefully a few people can give their views because there's plenty of S.S.ers going in different guises, I.e. DJ's, Sellers and Vintage/Retro fans etc so it'll be interesting to see what peope's views are. There's been a huge upswing in interest and ticket sales in the last couple of weeks so hopefully they've timed it just right! Should hear some great music too! Earth, Wind & Fire and Leroy Hutson live plus a great DJ lineup that has me salivating as a fan. Oh and if the missus is getting on yer nerves just send 'em to the shops. Job done. It's a no brainer for me! Ian D Edited August 12, 201014 yr by Ian Dewhirst
August 13, 201014 yr Wouldn't mind going to see Jessie & The Orbits. Mind you that's only because it's my mates daughter who's the singer! Ask your mate if he can get me a copy of their 45 Voodoo Voodoo ,cant get it anywhere its sold out
August 16, 201014 yr Just got back from Vintage & have to say I enjoyed it immensely. The Soul Casino was great so thanks to the DJ's in there not least Ady, Jo & Val. Only caught one band on the Soul Stage although I didn't get their name. They were very good and it was a nice touch to have guests do some numbers with them. Beverley Knight guested with The Feeling on the main stage & she was as ever the professional. Enjoyed the rock tent too although very strange to hear Keb playing rockabilly! The best bit of the whole day for me was The Damned who were effin great but that's another story not for here. Only one gripe and that is the lack of WC's... Mick
August 16, 201014 yr had a great weekend too ............ like mick i saw the damned who i thought were a bit half and half. the earlier punky stuff was great but the rest went on a bit. loved the polecats .... and jessie and the orbits. buzzcocks good, liked earth wind and fire and a bit of heaven 17. soul casino was an excellent venue too!
August 16, 201014 yr I thought the entire weekend was a gas. The festival was brilliantly organised and the attention to detail was fantastic. Every one of the different venues and stages all had great sound systems and there was just tons of tons of things to see and places to go. The Soul Casino was absolutely rocking it most of the time and the refreshing thing was seeing so many younger people getting off on Northern and 70's Soul. The music was almost universally great, whichever venue you happened to be in and I thought all the DJ's worked their nuts off. A brilliant nice eclectic LARGE crowd who were pretty much up for anything. Very refreshing. This was a 100% sell-out with over 20,000 people in attendance over the 3 days and 22,000 on Saturday by all accounts. Hats off to Wayne Hemmingway for getting it so right in every detail. I'm looking forward to next year already! Ian D

Ian D The Saturday night in the Soul Casino was absolutely buzzing, firstly Dr Bob Jones played an amazing mix of Blue Note, Soul, Northern, Crossover, Funk & then Colin Curtis with a mainly 7ts set of Soul, Crossover & Rare Groove, both really created an amazing vibe on the dancefloor which everyone from all decades dug! Unfortunately after that some guy from Kiss FM came on & completely ruined it for us, some horribly slow dance records to start with followed by a modern mix of 'Superstition' & a horrible cover of a Radiohead record, it was like a Saturday nights kid disco down some chav club, absolutely horrible & we left half way through it was so bad. That was the only bad point though & the whole day was mindblowingly amazing! Simon

Simon I couldn't even get in it was so packed on Saturday night so I thought I'sd take a look in the 'Let it Rock" maquee, only to hear some brilliant R&B/Popcorn and had room to dance too!!

August 16, 201014 yr A girl I work with went and said it was bosting ! Not a soulie at all (25 !!!) but she said she knew all the words to some of the songs cos I've been brain washing her the last 2 years !!!
August 16, 201014 yr I had a great time DJing in the Soul Casino on Friday night, brilliant weekend all round. Probably spent most time in the 50's arena, some tremendous r'n'b being played in there! Had to leave Sunday lunchtime though...
August 16, 201014 yr good to meet you briefly friday night john ....... i was the one that didn't look like lemmy! like you i think i spent most time in the let it rock tent. mainly watching bands but caught a couple of bits of keb darge spinning rockabily stuff and a female DJ (who didn't seem to be advertised by name on the roster) spinning some nice r&b-ish stuff around midnight on saturday night.
August 16, 201014 yr good to meet you briefly friday night john ....... i was the one that didn't look like lemmy! Indeed, good to meet you sir! Female DJ was Lady Kamikaze, some lovely tunes too!
August 17, 201014 yr I told you it would be brilliant!!!!!! I really loved the weekend, as did my wife and kids and we will definitely be returning should Vintage be on again next year! I had a record stall right opposite the Soul Casino, and i must have heard most sets played from first thing Friday to last thing Sunday. I got some footfall from folks going in and out of the venue too! I also had to answer the same question many times over the weekend of 'What's this playing mate?' Good job i'm a know-it-all! Got me a few sales though LOL Soul wise the acts were superb and many of the DJ's in the Soul Casino did the business. The Soul Casino was a revelation and i think the queue to DJ in there next year from everyone and their dog will have already begun LOL Ann Sexton was sublime, worth going just for that! She was amazing and what a lovely woman too! Leroy Hutson was excellent (Hobbsy if you're reading this, you owe me a pint, as it was 1989 the last time he was here! Good luck with the interview with the great man this week too!) And just how good was Joe Bataan? Bloody brilliant he was! I'm still aching now from dancing to him for 90 minutes solid! Three acts all on the Soul Stage that i will remember for many a long year! There was tons of other stuff going on but i'll keep it to that for now! Congratulations once again to all the Goodwood team and here's to 2011 Cheers Steve Plumb www.soulmusic.co.uk

But I think the interesting thing was that during the evening sessions it was full to bursting with a real mixture of well known floor fillers, and less well known quality tunes. They were being played off a mixture of originals, reissues, compilations - from vinyl and CD. The sort of thing that so many on this board absolutely hate, however in 20 odd years of DJing it was one of the best atmospheres I have ever encountered. When Ed, Henry & I played between 10 & 12 on Saturday it felt simply amazing.

When Ed, Henry & I played between 10 & 12 on Saturday it felt simply amazing. Agreed! I think I heard Eddie say over the mike that it was the best gig he'd done in 30 years didn't he? I was out having fun in the crowd and the atmosphere was absolutely electric. The thing that struck me is the floor was absolutely ram-packed with an age range of 18-60 and everyone was getting off. Quite simply one of the gigs of the century and a refreshing burst of optimism for the future in my book because Vintage @ Goodwood will undoubtably set the pace for events from this point forward. The Sunday night session in the Soul Casino was slightly less jammed but the atmosphere was equally brilliant. Absolutely awesome....and that was just the Soul Casino. When you consider that the other arenas were equally as busy it's mind-boggling that everything worked so perfectly. I spent quite a bit of time at the Warehouse and that was equally as good as the Casino in terms of atmosphere. The clips are already appearing on You Tube - this guy's caught a whole heap of sets all around the festival, so everyone can scroll through the clips..... An unbelievable event that will undoubtably become a yearly event for everyone's diary! Simply awesome! Ian D Edited August 18, 201014 yr by Ian Dewhirst
