Wellingborough Alldayer

Considering this event started as Mr Bournes 50th celebration. The Wellingborough Alldayer IS CERTAINLY one of the most anticipated events on the Northern Soul Calender without a shadow of a doubt.

I arrived at 11am (ish) and got home about 1.30am this morning..

from the chill-out room upstairs, to the Studio Room to The Main Hall you could not say there wasnt my kind of tunes played ( not me saying that but in general I mean).

With the line up on offer and for only £6 you aint gonna go wrong.

Have to admit the feeling of standing on the stage and looking out onto a room packed to the gunnels all dancing, clapping, spinning etc... to a tune you've just put on the decks is AMAZING. Felt very priveledged to have been asked by kev to do the times I did, considering the calibre of DJ's.

I think just about every town, or county in the country was represented there yesterday.

Could go on for pages about the day and the people but if you were there you'd know how fricking good it was.

Top form Kev and Gloria, and I hope whomever won the Cream Cracker goodies in the raffle enjoys them.

Kind Regards

Kev ( dont do modern) Such and Karen.

Yes I wondered the same ... where is the castle?

Had an amazing day yesterday we spent 12 hours with no breaks in that place ! that has to be a record for me.

You had everything on offer musically , my fave room was the chill out room upstairs , being able to play some slower sounds that don't get aired normally and looking down on the crowd outside enjoying the sun and the food.

Although having said that I did enjoy playing the motown hour in the main room at midday .. taking us back to the school of 72 Move on up sounded awesome.

Only downside fro me was the bar , it took a little too long to get a drink , at one point we pinched Teds emergency supply:) we were so thirsty . Nige had a great idea to order my wine by the bottle in the afternoon :)

Lovely to see many faces that always makes this type of event so enjoyable they helped to carry us through 12 hours roaming from room to room.

Funniest moment was Derek telling us he was asked if he had the Stone Roses or Oasis , the guy that asked for them completely missunderstood the weekend .... well you are from Manchester he said .... lol ....

Have to say I was shocked at how much R&B was wanted in the side room , they couldn't get enough of it ?

Top weekend

Hi Kev and Gloria

Thanks for honouring me once again by letting me be part of your alldayer. Like Kev Such you let me play 3 sets - one in each room, two of which were with my special friend - the famous northern DJ Yockie. It was great to meet up with lots of friends from around the country. A wonderful day and the only complaints that we heard were about the bar but I did suggest to the duty manager that he opened a bottle bar which did ease the situation.

To summit it all up - a wonderful day spent with wonderful people - totally magic. Got to be the best alldayer in the country.

Many thanks

Alan and Wendy

PS looking forward to next year.

PPS did we win on the raffle?

dont you have enough records already?

i couldnt look out of the window when it was open...didnt wanna drool over everybodies food...it was bad enough just licking the window

Although having said that I did enjoy playing the motown hour in the main room at midday .. taking us back to the school of 72 Move on up sounded awesome.

you certainly got that floor moving

Only downside fro me was the bar , it took a little too long to get a drink , at one point we pinched Teds emergency supply:) we were so thirsty . Nige had a great idea to order my wine by the crate in the afternoon :)

Lovely to see many faces that always makes this type of event so enjoyable they helped to carry us through 12 hours roaming from room to room.

i felt as though i was being stalked by nige and yourself...i just came of the decks and there you were waiting to get on lololol

Have to say I was shocked at how much R&B was wanted in the side room , they couldn't get enough of it ?

oh dear..did i really get that carried away on the friday night and saturday afternoon?

Top weekend

First of all a BIG BIG thank you for your fantastic support because without you and the DJs this could not happen.

Also i would like to thank Gloria, Sally, Linda & Steve who did a fantastic job on the door and with the raffle, CDs & Badges Donations and in total we raised £705.00 to Cancer Research, cheque on its way this morning and will post receipt when it arrives.

We would also like to say a big thank you to those who donated prizes to the raffle.

If you have any of these numbers please PM, Email or Ring me with the 8 Diget code & your address and i will forward the prize for you.

The only issue we had was the bar from 7pm, we were promised extra staff but this never happend. We have a meeting this week with them and i will demand at least 2 extra bars next year, we are on the case.............

Music played in all 3 rooms was top notch...... think the upstairs Chill Out Room went down well and would like again to say a big thank you to all the DJs.

Next year we are going for a 4th room which will be for RnB.

Once again from Myself & Gloria a BIG thank you.

Next years date is 18th August 2012 and joining the DJ list are Coops (Skegness) Sam Evans (Hinckley) Mark Freeman (Nuneaton) & Neil Self (Soulfusion)

Saturday was a pretty surreal day for me. I would have been in the chill out room anyway on Saturday even if there was no dayer as I would have been manning my balloon art exhibition. Anyway, I got up there at about 11am to see the strange sight of the BT balloon team (who had come over from Northampton balloon festival) viewing the artwork with a load people dancing to soul next to them! Anyway, thanks to everyone who came upstairs to have a look.

But, what a fantastic day/weekend spoilt only a little by the bar situation. What I find annoying as a local is reading in the paper how the Castle is struggling financially, and when presented with 600 thirsty souls for 14 hours, they don't appear too fussed about fascilitating those people's needs and maximising their takings. I'm sure I wasn't the only one who nipped down to the offy. The queueing system seems to have been introduced for the convenience of the bar staff rather than the customers.

Anyway, like I said, it didn't really detract from what was a brilliant day! Well done Kev and Gloria, roll on next year. :thumbup: :thumbup:

TOP, TOP MARKS FOR THIS EVENT. The organisers have expertly put together a package of the absolute best in Northern Soul Classics, across 3 rooms, using in my opinion the some of the finest Northern Soul Oldies D.J.'s in the country!!!! If you haven't been, and want to immerse yourself in over 12 Hours of quality, classic Northern Soul then this is as good as it gets!!!!!

Already in the diary for next year!!

How up K & G absolute top notch couple of days. This is one event that gets better and better. The Friday night meet is excellent and some A1 sounds played, can not think of anyone who did not enjoy the chill out area, even with Austen and I having a 70's disco revival, loved it. The all dayer main room was well appreciated and even those present who may be a tadge off the radar with NS got into enough so as not to spoil anyones day. The bar was the only (small) gripe on an awesome day. Well done to you both and all the helpers. dunna go any bigger it is about right now!!! All the Best Big Andy & (the boss) Ann

We both would like to say a BIG BIG thank you for all the kind messages that have been sent :thumbup:

Still 8 unclaimed prizes so please check the numbers on this thread.

Had a meeting at the castle yesterday and they have at last agreed for us to work with them over the bar issue.

Due to a raise in the hire charges of this event, we will have to put the tickets up to £7.00 next year, still a bargin price which includes the Friday aswell.

Receipt from Cancer research attached.
