Ged Parker Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Been on my agenda to get to since it was first advertised so we'll do our best to be there. If we can make it we'll try and get Roly F out of hibernation. Only hurdle to cross is youngest daughter is due a baby on Thursday but you know how these things go she'll probably go into labour sometime Sat. Whatever happens I'm sure you'll all have a great night. Link to comment

Hopefully there will be a few of us out to enjoy some great tunes and meet old and new faces. Only live down the road so will be dancing till the end!!!. Looking forward to the oldies and classics Ron Hiya Ron thanks for the interest mate and it'll be great if you are able to come along on Saturday Ron (or anyone else for that matter) please don't take this the wrong way. Having read your post thought it might help to avoid any potential confusion or disappointment on the night if I was to clarify the music policy at Grumpy Soul: we want everyone to have a belting night above all else... ... With the line-up we have what you'll definitely get for your fiver is: - 8 full hours of up and at em high class tunage spun by experienced djs who all have the proper records - Given that the best measure of whether folk are having a good night is always the dancefloor, that will be our primary consideration all night. We'd absolutely encourage everyone to dance their socks off and,, as promoters, we will ensure the djs have that as their absolute priority too However, what folk won't get at Grumpy's is 'top 500' classic oldies and popular motown sounds. That's not about being a 'soul snob' or wanting to deter anyone from coming along and helping us have a great night, not at all. Rather, there are lots of venues, djs and promoters out there doing classic oldies nights much better than we ever could and that particular market seems to us to be pretty well catered for via venues like Kings, Monaco, King George's, Blackpool etc; all established, hugely successful events and good luck to em. As per my opening post on this thread, we want to try and do something a little bit different; not to create northern soul history by breaking loads of news sounds or ground, or trying to be elitist and smart-arse by playing eight hours of 'semi-knowns' or 'obscurities. Rather, we want to try and focus on the sounds played primarily from about 1980 onwards at venues like Stafford, Warrington Parr Hall, Tonys, Queens Hall etc. There'll be oldies in the mix for sure (aren't they all pretty much in rdeal terms) and plenty of Detroit and Chicago dancers if that's your bag. In other words, class records and plenty of oldies, not many 'classic oldies' at all though. Travellers coming from as far afield as Bournemouth and Scotland and it'd be great if we could supplement that and add some passionate, up-for-it more local soulies to the mix too. As I say, wouldn't want anyone to turn up expecting something they're just not gonna get on the night. By the same token, it's gotta be worth a look for just a fiver ain't it? f you do make it along Ron please come and say hello atb Phil Edited July 4, 2011 by PhilT Link to comment

Louise Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Rumour has it that a car load of soul desperados from the sleepy hamlet of Ampthill will be heading north to Grumpy's on Saturday, maybe more if Terry can fix the lights on his camping trailer in time. Dave Link to comment
