Guest Glawster Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Pete,Cathy how the **** are you going to follow last night!!!!!!!! it was in two famous west country words OAR SUM! We arrived nice and early to be greeted as usual by Cathy and Angela. Having travelled down with Owen and Alison,the four girls had a chin wag @ the door and added some bits to the freecycle table and I set off for the bar for some long awaited Thatchers Ci! Quick chat to Pete and then set up base camp. From base camp we hugged,kissed,shook hands with some great friends and so the night was set! Having trundled around the floor to a few choons I slipped into "what the **** is this choon mode?" from choon to choon it got better and better,hats off to these guys you keep finding top quality music and knitting them into mind boggling sets. All too soon it was time to leave(cheers Alison for letting us stay on a bit past our agreed time)great friends whom we've had such a good time with over the past few weeks! Too many folks to mention but lots of areas well represented,Sussex,Bournemouth,Wales,Devon,Bath and another top turnout from Glawstershire too. Didnt do a lot off pic clicking last night either,I just got so into the choonage! Soz missed yer 2nd set Pete but it goes without saying it would have been the Dogs do das! BRIDGWATER SOUL NIGHTS = THE GEM OF THE WEST COUNTRY If you've never been,get down there! Link to comment
Matt Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Great Night as always, well organised with a top choice of DJ's for the night. The spectrum of music was across the board and seemed to keep everyone happy. It seems that the numbers increase everytime and this is down to the friendly promoters. Great to meet up with old friends and new from all over the country, this is how successful the night is! keep the faith and bring on the next one! Link to comment
Douglaschip Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Top night at Bridgewater - blinding sets from Steve G and Mick H but all music good - real across the board sets from everyone in a great venue with top promoters - thanks for a great evening. adam Link to comment
ricticman Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Thanks for the posts already chaps - much appreciated . Big thanks to Nige, Steve, and Mick for their efforts last night . I think they got the message how much they were appreciated. And to the most important people, who attended, travelled, paid in, and continue to support us - many many thanks . You're why we do this . As far as the dancing area floor is concerned, I'm aware it needs to be improved . As I said in the pre event notices, I needed to show we can do a night without talc, for me to get my bookings agreed for 2011 on the new [ to be laid ] new dancefloor. I'll now be having conversations with ' the management ' and we'll see where we go from here . Watch this space . Thanks again pete lyster Link to comment
Mike E Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Pete, I really enjoyed the night, a great mix of tunes from all of the DJ's. A great night and atmosphere at one of my favourite soul venues. No pretensions, grandeur just sock it to you soul music. Got to say thanks to Mick H for playing King George for me and dedicating the Dynamics too. Also got in flourescent smog too. Great to catch up with so many folk from the South West, South Wales, Moldie and crew, Leon, Ian and so many others. In the end Des had to Physically remove me from the premises. Well beats being maround in deeper Somerset, Mmm not so sure there , Lol:lol: . Mike Link to comment

Guest steph murphy Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Crackin' night grommit! If anyone reading these reviews who hasn't attended, yet gets the chance, come to Bridgwater Soul Night. You WONT be disappointed. Great music all night, something for everyone in there. The issue of dancefloors and venue sizes can be a problem as I found out recently with the The Bancourt Hotel, but hey, people will have a great time I think even if they were outside dancing on my decking with that DJ line up . Good job Pete and Cathy. Who loves ya baby!!! Link to comment
Guest Angela Lawrence Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Blimey what a crackin' night! Cathy and Pete know how to put a party on. Numbers were up,I guess everyone is hearing about the warm and friendly atmosphere at this venue as well as the truly " across the board" music policy. Well done to Nige, Steve, Mick and Pete for keeping the dancefloor moving from seven thirty till one am. with a selection of music from classic soul to cutting allnighter tunes. It has to be said , the dancers dont run for cover when the djs play somthing they might not have heard before so well done them too! xx Link to comment
Md Records Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Nothing really to add top what's already been said: - Good music, good company and a great atmosphere Des Parker Link to comment

Steve G Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Really glad to have been given the opportunity to spin at Bridgwater. It is one of the friendliest soul nights in the country. On Saturday we heard everything from "Just walk in my shoes", Rita & Tiaras, Harvey Averne Dozen through to Fluorescent Smogg, and The Celebrities. Big thumbsup Steve Link to comment
Guest andrew bin Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 top night again, great to see the place full and the dance floor rammed, well deserved for a fantastic club run by two genuine great people:yes: , the music as usual was second to none definitely some thing for all tastes but with a line up like that you wouldn't have expected any thing else high lights for me where Steve G's two spots (top notch) Nige playing Del Davis and Pete's new acquisition (can't remember artist or title and i was sober ) great to see so many new faces and travelers (and i don't mean gypos) roll on the next one Link to comment
