mline Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 wow! what a night!! without a doubt one of the best soul nights i've been to in years. fantastic, hugely popular tunes all night. 2 excellent sets from the legendary Mr Winstanley. i can't remember a single tune that had less than about 6 or 8 people on the floor (none of those embarassing floor-clearers) and probably 80% of the tunes had about 20 or 30 of us dancing (or trying to - it was flipping hot!!) Bit of a pity about the bouncing floors knocking the needles about - but that was just down to everyones' enthusiasm to get on the floor to celebrate those superb tunes, right up to Russ's very last track. Not one of the people i spoke to had a single bad thing to say about the night. top, TOP night. many thanks Jimmy, Kev and everyone else concerned. next dates please!!! That night was what Northern is all about to me. Great stuff. Mike. Link to comment

Glad you liked it Mike end of the day a packed dance floor all night says it all Shame about the vibration through the decks but will sort that out for next time didn't realise how live the DJ booth was as well as the floor but that's what you would expect putting on a do in a 150+ year old building There are thought of doing another but plans have to be sorted absolutely awesome turn out had 178 on the night I know full well the venue want us to do another highlight for me was the first ever play of the alt version of Tony Galla in love with horn section sounded the nuts as for my play list cant remember them all will try to put something together all the feed back has been positive and was talk of the ride out on Sunday As you were aware there was a professional photographer there on the night photos can be found on the link below and can be purchased for a small fee Professional Photos on the Night Edited August 9, 2010 by JimSLH Link to comment
Kev Moore Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Had a really good night out in Sunny Southend. I usually don't get much chance to dance to oldies in abundance like that and I really enjoyed it. Wish Russ had played The Sherries for me. Last 3. Why not the first one. Big Thanks to everyone involved. Kev & Imogen Link to comment

Saxafone Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Kev Thanks for that I had a great night there is one down this way again on the 25 September which is a great night but sadly the last maybe Well done Jim, Kev and all involved, a cracking night indeed. Wall to wall oldies certainly kept the dance floor busy. A particularly fine example of Kronenbourg on tap as well judging by the brain pain on Sunday. A few tweaks to the sound system possibly and a couple more tables for the putting down of the Kronenbourg would be all that I'd ask for Yes we will be bidding fond farewell, adieu, so long, tara and all those things to Capone's on the 25th September.
