Hi Guys

Mouse and myself would like to wish everybody a soulful Christmas and New Year.

Thank you for your support throughout 2010, and we hope to see you all on 7th January, 2011, the first Wilton for the New Year. We desperately need more support.

There have been a few rumours about the Wilton closing. That is definitely not the case at the moment, but here's something for you to consider over the Christmas holidays.

We have had some great nights this year, but also we have had some poorly attended ones. This event is not cheap to stage and we worry that if attendances don't improve, how long we can carry on. We have dates for next year, our 18th year, but will be monitoring how this goes. We understand that we have much more competition now than in the past from other soul nights/Allnighters and Weekenders, some adopting the Wilton's original music policy. We still feel that this venue is second to none in the country and we will continue as long as possible. We have never been in this for the money, we are soul music fans/collectors of long standing and like you, love to hear something different. Play oldies and pack 'em in is not what we want, the Wilton has never been about that. We just need enough people to balance the books AND THE WILTON WILL CONTINUE.

Your comments on this would be appreciated.

See you soon

THE BEST NITER IN THE NORTH_______ AND HAS BEEN FOR MANY A YEAR________MY WIFE HAD HER 40th HERE__THAT WAS MANY, MANY YEARS AGO.

Even better now it finishes at 7______WOULD BE EVEN BETTER IF IT FINISHED AT 8_________or even better than that if we could return to the old days with a 9am finish________AND THEN FOLLOWED BY A SATURDAY ALLDAYER say, starting around 11am. NORTHERN SOUL HEAVEN!!!!! GREAT IDEAS, EH? dont you think?

Lets move onto the seemingly many so called devotees who say that The Wilton is shite, that the music policy is rubbish and the place itself has no atmosphere!!???!!! I cant imagine what this lot are on........different to me to be sure. The music is (usually) first rate, the place itself is superbly laid out.....so is the carpark for those who prefer the outdoor life and the DANCEFLOOR...well it must be THE BEST IN THE LAND....I'm sure that it is responsible for me perfecting some of my most interesting moves!

OK, I'm gonna put my foot down firmly and say that this time Dave, Val, etc-----------I'LL BE THERE.....

Ok let's get serious here, if we don't give Mouse & Boxy the support they deserve this top nighter will soon become a memory. Come on all you who, for whatever reason, have sadly been missing from the Wilton over the past few months get back through the doors, you know it makes sense don't be blind to what might be. Shirley and myself have promoted venues which have gone under due to poor attendance only to be told by those who didn't come through the doors "It was a great night, why did you close it?" The simple answer "If you'd have bothered to come along and support us it would still have been going"

Let's have a turn-out to make Mouse & Boxy proud to be promoters of this top nighter.

GET THERE AND ENJOY

REMEMBER IF IT GOES YOU'VE ONLY GOT YOURSELVES TO BLAME

SO COME ON DON'T BE FOOLISH AND LET ANOTHER GREAT VENUE

BITE THE DUST!!!!!

You don't have to shout at me Colin :(

I'm gonna be there for sure along with Rosemary & Kirsty S. A sort of girls night out but sadly we're not girls anymore :D but can pretend for one night :thumbsup:

Seriously though the Wilton needs more support much more than my support tights can offer (& that's a lot :rolleyes: ) so come on, put on your dancing shoes or your chin stroking face and get along to the Wilton on the 7th for a night of pure enjoyment. Mmmmmm :lol:

Just got back from Bidds What a great night with people in the right place supporting the punter that has not been for a while. It is with shame that the Wilton is not getting the support it deserves for the las 5 to 10 years and more having Djed at this nighter on the last anniversary with Martyn Bird which was a great privilege to do, the venue needs your support having had the likes of Chris Holmes, Saus, Soul Sam, Dave Rimmer, Chalky, Mr Andy Dyson, Mr Mick H, Headsy, Chuddy, and Karl Heard to name a few, djing here in the past. Please come along and support Mouse and Dave Box and keep this venue a live. Once this venue has gone, it will be hard to replace. The fertilities are second to none with a large dance floor, a bigger than than average bar. Any difficulties, please contact Andy07599502408 and I will pass any message on to Mouse and Dave or contact them direct on the numbers listed
