Ged Parker Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Should bring back a few memories being back in what Tim Brown called "The Best Venue to Ever Hold a Northern Soul Event" (His words not mine). Would have loved to have pursuaded them to let us have a nighter when Trevor Hemmings had it but its here now. Roll on 12th Feb. Link to comment

Goldsoul Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 A hearty thanks to the massive crowd attending last night. As one half of the promotion team, I was well surprised, but then again this iconic venue ranks up there with the best. A busy, busy night. Thank you. Link to comment
Anais nin Carms Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 What an amazing venue I was so overwhelmed by the sheer size of the place and the money that must have been poured into creating such a magnificent dancing play ground of such opulence . I think you would call the style " Baroque" I was expecting an army of food platters , the sort of place you would hold a massive feast . Very well attended for a first event . many faces I didn't know , many younger elements too It was a feast for the eyes Music that impressed me on the night in particular was the latter part of Mick H's set filled with stuff I didn't know and a very special track I loved which I need to hear again, the guy that followed Mick played an awesome set I do believe the best for me was at the end of the night ... when daylight flickers and where that tempo can fluctuate and you have the best meat on the bone , all those lovely tender succulant bits where ithe flesh is pick almost under done and there is masses of room at the table to be devoured. I stayed in the rare room all the time I was there , and felt that the guys were testing the water finding their groove to suit an audience that maybe they were unfamiliar with . To be honest i heard lots of stuff in there that I would have expected in the main room which was good stuff ..... but for me the attraction and pleasure were those morcels they made me wait for lol This would be a superb summer event !

Ged Parker Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 (edited) the guy that followed Mick played an awesome set I do believe the best for me was at the end of the night ... That'll be me, so thanks Carms. The room had thinned out a little by then and it was a bit hard to guage exactly what the remainder were looking for but I think I tried a bit of everything from the well known to the obscure. As someone whose history with the is Winter Gardens long and varied I have to confess to having mixed feelings about it being started up again but I must say it was a resounding sucess.

Anais nin Carms Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Hi Ged , sorry about not knowing your name . I was told who you were but you know what its like after 5am the brain was just wanting a rest , me not being a nightowl . Yes I really did like your set best of all I too own a Willy McDougal and its lovely to hear someone else play it for a change so I could dance to it . I also recall trying to keep something in my head that you played for future ref...for some reason I attached football and Rodney Marsh to my memory assiciation tag ? perhaps you can throw some light on what sound that might have been I loved hearing Mojo Mama along with a great the absolutley bliss Steve Mancha I think it was you who tucked in . I know it sounded very grooooovsville but I can't recall the title right now. Big Thanks to Ricky W for driving us to the car park in the early hours when it was raining, he was a god send Link to comment
Ged Parker Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 No Problem Carms I think you remember more of my set then me It was James Marsh and I played it after Steve Mancha as I think they work well together. Its not well know and even harder to get hold of but does sound very Groovesville though it's not even Detroit, it's one of those tunes you just ache to play to the right crowd. Just glad it was appreciated. Link to comment
Goldsoul Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 A big thanks to Andy Dyson who anchored the room. Exactly what was required. Impressive. Link to comment

ImberBoy Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Just recovering from Blackpool! Sat here typing away thinking of the dilemma I had whilst trying to decide between Bob Hinsley in the rare room, Kev Roberts in the main room or Richard Serling in Modern Room, a dilemma I wish I could have at every Allnighter! The venue is a new one for me, The Winter Gardens right near the Tower, obviously this had a had a fair few quid spent on it as the facilities are ultra-modern with a unique atmospheric theme in the rare room and the main hall that looks olde worldy without being over the top or fake, the occasion is set as soon as you walk in yet you do feel very familiar and quite at home, difficult to put into words but the place works really well and just takes instantly to that Allnighter ambiance with its high ceiling and polished wooden dance floor. The place has had an expensive refurbishment yet it feels as if it has all been done for our crowd rather than the young "Disposable" set who often care nothing for elegance such as this, any way enough of the venue suffice to say that it was impressive and memorable all for the right reasons! The line-up was to die for! I am a regular Allnighter goer and on this night there where three different allnightrers to choose from and I was very aware of the impact my choice may have had as far as bums on seats are concerned, I do feel for the promoters but my analogy is one of the cinema. Cinema multi plex has been with us for ever now and it has not killed small independent films and what the paying public want is choice, and that is a good thing like it or not. The choice is not about doing one Allnighter in particular, we can take now from Colom A, B and C so a wider and more varied experience can be had by all. Venues clashing are often unavoidable and I do wish there was a solution but I take solace in knowing that I support the many different Allnightrers across the calendar. Blackpool gave its own flavour, my hat is well and truly doffed for the inclusion of The Modern Room, the Modern crowd often get the shitty end of the stick at Nighters and I think it's only Radcliff that give the Modern punter a real quality product, again I thank them for this! Richard Serling gave a brilliant account of himself, he is a true hero of mine and apart from me asking for the tempo to be increased, he could do no wrong! Bob Hinsley was the star that he always is and the diversity and true magnificence of his set is mind blowing, his records are tip top and he came straight from the rare room to switch heads like Worzel Gummidge and cracked on to spin his Modern Magic! Pete Haigh did a blinding spot, as always, and his love of quality dance is infectious and very apparent as soon as he spins his discs, I am left with a string of unidentified tunes whizzing around in my head and I'll be eagerly trying to track these down to enjoy once more. Man of the match for me was Jim Hargreaves who put his stamp on the room giving a truly high quality performance that transferred immediately onto the dance floor bringing a few people onto the floor who were passing through the room being caught in his spell! I would recommend this to any Modern Soul fan and I would also recommend this to anyone who just wants to go and have a look what's happening on this side of the scene. All in all it was a terrific Allnighter, we will definitely be back in September and I thank everyone involved. Link to comment
ImberBoy Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Tunes I need id please: "Never Too Much" The femal version of Luther's classic track? "Love times love" George Benson's remix? Played in the Modern Room Link to comment

ImberBoy Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Never too much is Mary J Blige, a great version I may be wrong, I usually am, but the Mary J Blige - Never Too Much was a tad quicker on the tempo on Saturday night? Maybe I just had my dancing ears on and it seemed a bit faster but I am not convinced that it was Mary J Blige?? Hey Mista Deejay can you help please and ting Link to comment
Guest highlander Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 (edited) A great summing up there simon, just about captured everything. I Have been to previous soul do's there and it is a fantastic venue, and the spanish ballroom is very atmospheric, like the tower , but not as fancy. In your modern room appraisal you didn't mention colin curtis. As i had to leave early, [ 3 ish] i didn't see him . Was he on do you know? Edited February 14, 2011 by highlander Link to comment

What a fantastic compliment to the modern guys who I know ALWAYS do the business but sometimes don't get the accolade they deserve. As I couldnt make it on Saturday part of me is pxssed off after reading your post but a bigger part of me is proud as punch especially of my good friend Jim Hargreaves If Jim reads this, I know your secret "x xxxx xxx xxx I think you u r great" ............. too x was it Thelma Houston's version???? That will be it Rosemary & I would think it was Bob that played it as I had kittens when I first heard it out & it was Bob who put me on to the album "A Woman's Touch" Hope this helps Simon x Link to comment
