Friendship, Barnsley - Review

[Guest ShaneH]

Friday 25th of June was the 1st Anniversary for 'The Friendship' soul event in Barnsley. Nice backroom of a huge pub with scope for another smaller room upstairs which was not used on this occasion. To mark the event we had the pleasure of 'the Pincher Brothers' (two big lads with big records!!) and Soul Sam.

After a quiet first couple of hours the place soon got busy with the dance floor well attended. Main Friendship man and author of a great little fanzine given away free, Ian 'Geordie' Johnson, opened the proceedings with some nice stuff from his collection. I have listed below some of the stuff played by the DJ's of the night with the probable addition of spelling/grammar mistakes etc.....here goes!
