Guest Afrigo Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) Made a rare visit to Burscough British Legion last night. These days I`m kind of detatched from the UK soul scene physically as well as emotionally as I split my time between Kampala, Uganda and West Lancs. That said it`s good to get along to support Tony and Lisa`s gig, which is a commendably well run event, ecletic play list, friendly atmosphere, I don`t drink so I can`t comment on the quality of the Legion beer, however friends who called at the nearby Hop Vine Pub were raving about the ale served up there, brewed on the premises. It was great to catch up with so many people who I don`t get to see because of the dictates of geography and other factors, So a big up To Nigel, Derek and Janet Watmough,Phil Sharples,Julian and Diana Kellett and not forgetting The redoubtable Lez Scott and Viv.i believe Lez is up on the Legion wheels of steel later in the year so i`m hoping i`ll be around for that.Before then plan to try get back to fun filled Burscough in March for an overdue catch up with that study in kinetic energy Jumping Joan.Thanks again to the Upholland massif, Much Power and Passion.

Brookesy Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Thanks to everyone for coming over to Burscough last night, really bad driving conditions but that didn't seem to put anyone off. Loads of new faces again and people travelling from far and wide, cheers folks! We've had some great nights at Burscough Legion and last night has got to be up there with the best of them, absolutely top tunes from all the DJs kept the floor bouncing most of the evening---everything from quality oldies, rare R&B, crossover and 70s and more. Top tunes. Thanks to Blunny, Grant, Dennis and Tony for spinning the sounds, couldn't fault any of the music last night----top notch quality sounds all the way! Any playlists would be much appreciated, I will post mine up later. No event at the Legion in February due to a mix up with the bookings but we are back on track on 26th March for another top night with guest DJs Jumpin' Joan, Col Murphy, Les Harrison and Nigel A. Should be another cracker, hope to see a few of you there. Thanks once again for all the support, with so many events on at the moment it is brilliant to have so many great people coming along to the Legion and appreciating what we do there. See you soon......Tony & Lisa Link to comment

nightfiler Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) Thouroughly enjoyed Saturday, agree with Tony one of the best nights out in AGES!!!! did'nt think anything could top New Years Eve, but it is right up there with that!!! All dj's were top notch, i am not biased honest, never danced so much since ................... NEVER! Enjoyed the laughs and cake with Joyann and co i'm sick of bleedin' celebrating your birthday!!! give it a rest now (TUT). Great to see (the real) Mick Howard and Dale from Scotland before they went to Burnley.
