I hope for the dance comp they play some records that show off the footwork of the dancers, not simply records for some to throw themselves about aimlessly

I find the dance comp kinda ruins the evening (in my opinion) but agree it shouldn't all be about acrobatics more footwork and interpretation. I used to love watching Brian Jolley dance - great moves.

Spoke to the booking line this morning and only limited accom left ... so dont leave it too late

I agree, usually all the best dancers sit down cause they know someone simply doing acrobats for the sake of doing acrobats will be picked ahead of them. If we do have to suffer one lets see the emphasis on proper dancing.

Never watched a dance comp in my life

regarding dance comps i came onto the scene in 1974 at 16 yrs old also went to the casino same year, ive allways been brought up to believe northern soul dancing is based on three catagories footwork,spinning and acrobats and is known for its spectacular style wich was ahead of its time in the 70s, i do realise that a few of us are knocking on a bit and cant do the fast spins or tricks anymore? im now in me 50s and still do a few tricks !!! so because were knocking on are you saying we should forget how we learnt years ago and just move our feet do an age factor? i won last years dance comp and only did minor tricks through out the comp as i personaly dont go over board on them but would not knock anybody who did? end of the day the best dancer will win he or she can win it on footwork alone ... there are some incredible footwork peeps still out there. Some people just like to sit and drink! others like to buy records and chat ! others like to dance! and some like to go in dance comps ! some folks like this r n b ! some like modern and some of us like to hear the real oldies you dont hear much nowadays! northern soul is there to meet everybodies tastes ,just enjoy youreselves and most of all .... ktf.

End of arguement right there

This is the next time out for us and I honestly can't wait.

great news but are you sure you wanna pitch a tent in arena two

moldie xx

YEH IF RUMORS ARE TRUE AND BRITTANIA HAVE TAKEN OVER - WHY WOULD THEY GIVE US OUR MONEY BACK - YOU WOULD NEED A VALID REASON AND A BAND OR A DJ NOT PLAYING WOULD NOT QUALIFY FOR A REFUND. THEY WOULD MAINTAIN THAT THE WEEKENDER IS RUNNING AND ALTERNATIVES ARE IN PLACE - BUT AS YOU KNOW WE AR NOT ORDINARY JOE - WE AR SOUL PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN ENJOYING WEEKENDERS THERE FOR MANY YEARS, WITH GREAT PROMOTERS WHO GIVE US WANT WE WANT.

WE ARE NOT GUNNA BE HAPPY IF THEY FOB US OFF AND YOU CANT GET A REFUND - EITHER SOMEONE IS RUNNING THE RUMORS FOR A LAUGH OR IN MY OPINION THEY ARE TRUE AND GIVING WHAT I KNOW ABOUT THE SITUTION AT PONTINS I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO LEARN THAT WE ARE NOT GONNA GET WHAT WE BOOKED FOR.

IF ACTS HAVE BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO UNFORTUNATE CIRCUMSTANCES THATS FINE, REPLACE THEM WITH ANOTHER THEY HAVE PLENTY OF TIME.

NOW DJ'S AND SELLERS THATS A BIT SUSPECT

WHAT DO U THINK????

great news but are you sure you wanna pitch a tent in arena two

moldie xx

But been told to bring my own bedding so who knows ......1st time Ive had to do that in 10yrs

Julie xx

NOW DJ'S AND SELLERS THATS A BIT SUSPECT

WHAT DO U THINK????

well i think a few of the big name djs were pissed of a cpl of years ago when they had to SIGN for there money

it all sounds dodgy to me

moldie

What i think is ...after a few hours no ones saying anything but this started from the Sunburst Bands face book page !

thats where i got the ...REFUND INFO...

Modern Lass why not say whos not Djing ETC.

Brittania could also have posted up something if its them who has the say in booking and paying the artists.

I HOPE ITS SOMETHING AND NOTHING BUT THERE ARE AN AWFUL LOT OF NERVOUS PEOPLE, AND ESPECIALLY AS WE HAVE BEEN TOLD BRITANNIA HAVE TAKEN OVER ? ONCE AGAIN WHY WHERE HAVE OUR PROMOTERS GONE.

WE JUST NEED CLARIFICATION AS WE HAVE ALL PAID AN AWFUL LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS WEEKENDER AND ADDITIONALLY WITH CURRENT PROBLEMS WITH PONTINS IT SEEMS WE ARE ALL ON EDGE..

I AM HOPING ALOT OF IT IS HEAR SAY

JUST ALSO FOUND OUT THAT BRITTANIA HAVE TOLD SOME PEOPLE WHO HAVE ASKED FOR THEIR PAPERWORK THAT THEY HAVE HAD TO MAKE CUTBACKS AND HAVE REDUCED THE WEEKENDER TO 3 ROOMS???

AND THAT IS FROM SOMEONE WHO IS TRUSTED AND IN THE KNOW

Do you know which artists are still appearing -

Its true, one artist at least not attending now, one arena cancelled, DJ's taken off and no one gets a free chalet. All those who had a freebie have to now pay, all those who were DJing have to pay for their chalets...except I presume paid DJ's but many of the Dj's are doing it for free, well accommodation was chucked in.

Do you know which artists are still appearing -

van goh and banksy as far as i know...nice to see the bolton crew will be there

There seems to be a bit of confusion about where Bbritannia fits into this. They bought the whole Pontins operation when it went into administration and so are the owners of the site. It's reasonable to think that they may be looking at all events to make sure they operate at a realistic profit margin. Pontins did almost go bust after all.

As far as a refund is concerned I think you'd have to be able to say you booked specifically because you wanted to see the Sunburst Band. So if you booked prior to them being announced you wouldn't have much of an arguement.

But does it really matter, it's one act (so far anyway) out of a whole weeks entertainment.

Britannia are still promoting the event on their website so chill out a bit and let the promoters sort out truth from fiction.

Kev

Hi phil we have interviewed all the artist on our radio show over the last three weeks with benny troy and lorraine coming on this sunday Jessie James, Benny Troy ,Lorraine Chandler, James bell ,Rita graham And The volumes are all coming its gonna be a great weekend

Can ask that members stop all the second guessing that seems to be going on.

Sure both of the organisers that are members on here have got enough on their plates at the moment & will be on here to let you all know whats happening as soon as they can.
