Play Robert Tanner for me tonight and try to keep Mandy off the Cider !! See you all in 2006 Keith Money Hi Keith Will you not be having a little offshore party!

steve z Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Even though i can't be here tonight, i'd like to take this opportunity to thank the Greatstone collective for taking me under their wing and giving me a chance behind their hallowed decks. Special mentions to Paul H, you've been a true friend and a great inspiration to me(for Cleethorpes gotta mention the beautiful Donna for keeping me alive with glorious food) Tony and Janet, your wonderful hospitality was incredible, and also Mark Baildon for his great vinyl that he put onto CD's for me, Budgie for playing Loleatta Holloway...and lastly but not leastly the great Stevie Z for his patience with my endless questions and late night phone calls....Have a great New Year Greatstone.....i'll miss you. Brett Franklin... Hi Brett,I have really enjoyed our conversations,both when in your company and when on the'phone,over the past year The F.J.Jones track ,you play is one of the best crossover tunes ever,thanks for introducing it to me What I also enjoy reading are your extremely passionate posts on Soul Source that always inject a perspective that enhances the thread Have A Great Night and I look forward to our next meeting.A Special Happy New Year to You and Family.Stevie Link to comment
Maria O Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Been out all day, so I hope one of the organisers sees this in time. We must change our tickets from 4 to 2, as our friends Karen & Pete have been snowed in their village and the icy roads today are still too risky for driving . They hope someone else can buy their tickets ??? m ps. remembered today texting friends back home (they are 11 hours ahead, so I've already had a Happy New Year ) - that my Sydney soulie mate's Manchester wife was a regular at the Greatstone. She says that we'll see her twin sister at the Greatstone tonight. Small world eh! Link to comment

Maria O Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 New Years Eve is the most special night of the year for me and some of them in the past, have been real bummers but.... ....Oh, you wouldn't believe how pleased I am that we spent last night at the Greatstone. Caught up with lovely people, giggled at Carlos who changed hats every hour (didn't recognise him as the sheike when we arrived ), got loads of kisses and absolutely loved lots of the sounds - especially the Five Chances which I crave. Unfortunately we couldn't plan to stay very late and missed out towards the end. But a big thanks to all involved m Link to comment

Garv was running round after that No 17 for ages, wondered what he'd done with it ... it was in my bag so I don't know how Ady managed to get hold of it .. unless there's something Garv & Ady aren't telling us Happy New Year to everyone who was there and also everyone on here who knows me.

Ritchieandrew Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 OK this is how it went for me on NYE. Arrived with ASBO @ the Greatstone earlyish, booked in, found the room, dumped the bags, then down to the Weatherspoons by Old Trafford for a livener or two. Walked in to "Weathers" to the strains of "use your 'ead and use your feet & we will take the Kippax street" sung by a group of alcohol fuelled Morons in the corner. Drifting back to the mid seventies would they have been so brave if Mickey Francis & the Kool kats had been in 500 yds of the place ? I think not. Anyway after a few "Liveners" it was back to the Greatstone, & for us the evening was just about to start. Greeted by Tony on the door then down into the Cellar, for what was to be THE BEST ever NYE for me. Fantastic from the outset, the records, crowd, food, and the Atmosphere totally made it. Congratulations to everybody concerned for making it a stonking night. For the first time in a long time, I had a Happy New Year. Best Regards Ritchie & Asbo. . Link to comment
Tony Jackson Posted January 3, 2006 Author Share Posted January 3, 2006 (edited) After my initial post thanking everyone for coming on NYE I thought i would let the night speak for itself,and leave it at that. However having just read all the nice things said, I think it would be rude of me, not to comment on your comments . All the positive feedback on here, phone-calls and texts, really does make doing these nights worthwhile, I'm very tempted to post the event up again in the calender section for next NYE , but we'll see.....thanks again....See some of you at the weekend ......Tony&Janet Edited January 3, 2006 by Tony Jackson Link to comment
Mark B Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 (edited) Happy New Year everybody looks like i missed a good a good one. there will be less travels next year (will not be able to afford them as i have handed my notice in at work anybody need a fairly good gas technician) to go self employed. hope to see you all at the next greatstone in jan 2006.
