Guest adlibsoul Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 (edited) This night was the culmination of all we've set out to achieve at Ad-Lib.-to create a night that appeals to the scenes connoisseurs (who want to hear and playout rare/underplayed to a responsive and appreciative crowd) and to create an atmosphere that encourages newer open -minded people into the scene to enjoy the music and it's early -days culture that we promote on our nights.We knew a month ago it was a sell-out,that was no surprise.What we didn't expect was the amount of people who knew they were experiencing something special and took the time to seek the crew out ,shake hands and say how much they were enjoying the night.This wasn't at the end of the evening but half-way through.It was really quite humbling.We will post up more information about the night later .So for now a big thankyou to all who came. To all our regulars (who are fast becoming friends)and to all those newer faces who i know we'll see again as they are putting their names onto our email data base for the next one.To get priority ticket reservations for the next Ad-Lib on Dec 4th email adlibsoul@yahoo.co.uk .It is the weekend of Lincoln Christmas Market so if you're coming from away you would be advised to book your bb/hotel now.Thanks Glenn Edited September 25, 2010 by adlibsoul Link to comment
Guest adlibsoul Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 (edited) Many thanks to Trevor Quincy for sorting out new dj set times to cover John Paul who had to drop out at the last moment due to family illness.Also to Steve Longworth,not only for his top quality set but also for his input to me giving an insight to the standing of Ad-Lib in the wider scene .Thanks Steve.Another couple of guys i have to mention are 2suits from Derby-Steve Yates and Chris Lymon (hope that's the correct spelling).They came for a night out and lucky for all of us there ended up covering the absent John Pauls spot.Big thanks from all the crew.It was a pleasure meeting you both -and your better halves!Hope you can visit us again so we can check your clothes gear out .Talking about clothes,Glenn and the Hull Massive mods were turned out brilliantly yet again. Thanks again for making the journey and i hope your Hull club night takes off. Always good to see Mick Casey/Speedy et-al .They help keep the atmosphere going with Micks record bar in the lounge.Thanks to Martin Greene for sorting out an article for AD-Lib in Septembers Manifesto Soul Mag.Also thanks to dj Allan Swires who came and played two great sets whilst being struck down with a flu-like virus.Can't forget dj Neill Firth who always plays terrific music but who this time treated us all to a change of clothes for each set !!That's a first for Ad-Lib !! Finally a big thankyou for two of Lincolns finest house djs Nick Taylor and Seany Bowden who supplied and set up their top Rugcutta sound-system - as the djs said on the night-quality spot on.That goes for all the dj sets as well.

Guest Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I had a cracking night This is what an R&B night should be like, underground, dark dingy and very sweaty A great crowd willing to dance and a really friendly atmosphere, started with the greeting from Glen Chatted with great people, bought a few new tunes and sold one as well This place is one of the best secrets around, I'm already looking forward to the next one as you will have to reserve tickets early to ensure you can get in !!!!!! Top night, with top tunes from all the DJs, in a top venue, keep up the good work lads and I will see you soon ATB Steve Link to comment

Cheers Richard Hi Richard,i do mention to the djs to add playlists to our threads but it seems a bit of a hit and miss affair with them.Denbo has also mentioned it before.If they read this i'm sure they'll at least give you some idea of tracks played Link to comment
Heartandsoul Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 (edited) The Ad-Lib Club was once the best kept secret in Lincoln but now the whole world knows about it. A victim of its own success. You have a challenge now Glenn of squeezing an ever increasing crowd of the newly converted into the best LITTLE club in the UK. The Ad-Lib club has everything one would want when listening to those strong beating but yet simple rhythms which are characteristic of the many adopted R&B tracks. R&B tunes appreciated even more by the well tuned ears of the many aficionados. An agreeable nod or the thumbs up says it all. Nice to see so many familiar faces mixing up the alphabetical order of my sales boxes. Thank you to those who played the tunes and showed appreciation of the lesser known tracks which are begging to be danced to. I'm always thrilled when a punter flips over a record and is blown away by the B Side. There are so many gems waiting to be discovered it's better than digging for gold. The nice thing about the Ad-Lid Club is that we are all celebrating new tunes, new dances, new friends, new suits and most of all a new chapter in the development of the music we love so much. So nice to see the young ones joining in and helping to take the music forward to the next generation.
