The Prestatyn Soul Weekender Returns

View full article

Why all the cloak and dagger over promoter richard will do a great job,and john knows prestatyn better than anyone,

Ok so i will ask the question I deleted earlier ....................Still aimed at John Poole ..............Who is helping you to promote Prestatyn ? could you post or Pm me please as to me it would make all the difference ..wether i go or not ................no disrespect to any promoters out there but i do have my preferences ..............which i am allowed

regards

Julie :-)

you are correct, i just got names mixed up thats all, didnt mean to offend,as for mischeif making,i dont think so ..

WHOOPEE ! I,LL HAVE EM OFF YA FAY.... XXXXX

WHOOPEE ! I,LL HAVE EM OFF YA FAY.... XXXXX

no probs hun they are yours

Can't see a list of DJs - anybody know who they are ? Any "modern" acts on ?

Favourite W/ender that and Cala Gran Fleetwood...Buzzin !!

Julie I really don't know what your problem is?

I am helping Brittania co-ordinate the event,

Richard is looking after the modern side as my knowledge of this type of music could be written on the back

of a fag packet and you'd still have room for your address (ask Kev Thomas)

At this moment in time I for one am pleased to be involved in any capacity

Events never stay the same, events evolve, as with everything in life but the old Prestatyn template is still evident

There will be a dedicated "rare" room with top calibre DJs already confirmed are Carl & Maria, Mick H, Joan Livsley, Ian Cunnliffe, Mark Speakman, Ted Massey and am still waiting to hear from Simon Hunt and Andy Dyson

There will be a room for "crossover" with top DJ's

There will be the main arena, with DJ's confirmed Nige Brown, Sean Chapman, Dave Evison, John Barker, Snowy, Ginger Taylor, Chris King and others yet to be confirmed

The live act THE VIBRATIONS what can I say but WOW

In the words of Gene Toones "What more do you Want"

Anyway off to Spain for a week in the sun and the European F1 in Valancia

Hope this goes someway as explanation

I recommend forgetting about who the promoters are; get tickets, step out onto the floor and let your feet do the movin and all the worries and pressures of the real world vanish for a few days.

Thanks to John and Brittania many of us have a treat lined up for March 13.

CUMBRIA SOUL CREW JUST BOOKED CAN'T WAIT,JUST HOPE THE ROOMS ARE BETTER,BUT THERE AGAIN NOT MUCH TIME SPENT IN THEM. COME ON MARCH

Been a few times previously and enjoyed it each time. Toe tapping tunes and sliding shoes on the floor - just can't wait. Something extra to enjoy next year. I hope the refurbishment means the dance floors are okay, if not plenty of talc to correct matters.

Thanks Brittania & Pooley.

can't wait looking forward to getting our fix of soul.... modern, northern, crossover, under played, i do the lot and all under one roof. Soul Music at its best .... bring it on!!!!!!!!

As we always suspected. With the change of ownership, the chalets being renovated and Brittania wisely realising it was (financially) a good idea it was only a matter of time before we were back at Prestatyn for the Weekenders! Well done John and Fish for getting this show back on the road..

is fish involved ?

RE: is fish involved ?

..... NO ...... he is not involved in any way, shape or form with regard to organising or sorting out this event.

I believe he has been asked to be one of the DJ's in the Modern Room but that's it.

So the Modern Room set-up (co-ordination, layout, acts, DJ line-up, etc) will be nothing to do with Fish.

Guess he will DJ there though as he will be there 'selling his wares' (he is a 'dealer' by trade after all).

Don't think Mark Randle & Co. will be organising the radio stn happenings either ........

ALL THE OLD PONTIN'S GUYS involved with the Prestatyn weekenders in the past have also gone ...

... so basically (as I understand it).. it's Britannia + others as promoters + John Poole as front man (& 60's room organiser).

Crikey! Interesting.

Let's hope it's not going to be all 'anthems', and there is space for some interesting stuff to be played as well.....

RE: Any "modern" acts on ?

None have been announced so far .... BUT ... with Richard Searling now being the organizer of all things 'Modern' at the new Prestatyn Weekender (& Richard -- along with Ralph -- owning / running Expansion Records) ... I'd be amazed if an Expansion-related artist didn't put in an appearance in Nth Wales next March ....

..ALL THE ABOVE (regarding live acts) is just guesswork though & I know nowt really.

Anyone know who's running the R&B room?

Great News

I've never been to a weekender. I may be tempted by this one.

Do they have any "good" accomodation onsite?

Whats your problem ? i asked a simple question, now it has been answered As a veteran of 10yrs I think i had the right to ask see you there

Phil, the top grade of chalet is just about OK ....

... by hotel 'room comfort' standards I'd class Prestatyn's 'top grade' chalets as 1 to 2 * (star).

If the weather ain't too severe, then you should live through the experience OK.

I've stopped in every grade and all were a sh*t hole. The lowest, budget? isn't fit for human accommodation. Hopefully they have been levelled and rebuilt. The last time I went and stayed the whole weekend , it was a nearby hotel.

Come on Chalky, don't hold back ... say what you mean old chap !?!?!

Dont know about prestatyn but we were at southport camp 2 weeks ago runnin scooter rally,all the chalets refurbished didnt here any complaints about any grade.Woiuld imagine the same renovation programme has been carried out at prestatyn,and the food in the restraunt had improved a 100 per cent.

Northern nesh .... :lol: Delxxxxx

I'll try harder next time John.

Nesh It's the living with every creepy crawly known to man I didn't like.....If you didn't have a holiday after Prestatyn you got one, two weeks on the club with some infestation

:lol: ...i know that one.....i wanted someone else to say it on here!!!!!!...ha ha haaaa...Delxxxx

The Red Cross will be on hand should the need arise :lol:

BTW, in addition to no Fish sorting out the Modern Room ....

Different guys organizing the radio (if there will indeed be a radio stn next time) ...

... seems we will not get Bernie O'Brien's great backing band & singers supporting the live acts either.

LOTS of changes then for the 'New' Prestatyn !!!

Well that's it, no weekenders for me then.

I consider Premier Inn to be slumming it

^{When you were a lad people still lived in caves .}

^{When i where a lad you could leave your front door wide open on the terraced street i lived in , all us young uns use to ask the owd people if they wanted any shoppin doin or any errands doin, i remember Mr Middlehurst getting a Zodiac car and all the kids for miles coming to look at it How times have changed}

^{Whats this got to do with the weekender NOWT :D .}

^{When you,ve had a skinfull o becks at the weekender i never noticed the decor....Mind you mi hair was froze to the pillow one morning i kid you not at the 3 rd weekender}

^{George Rouse will back mi up he was in the oppo bed wrapped up in his big cosy sleepin bag rich sod}

Chester Soul Club magnificent 7 all booked into slug and spider standard. Like we'll be sleeping much anyway! Cant wait to see you all there.

Do they have first class hotels in Prestatyn?

They have quite a few DHSS Hostel's in the area .... I guess they don't rate 5 stars though !!

Thanks for the offer, it is highly appreciated and exceptionally good value.

But my usual "man" knows just how much starch to put in my collars, and exactly what to pack for an expedition.

Yippee. Just got back off hols and seen this. Missed the last one due to illness was gutted as it was the 1st that i had missed. But its back and cant wait till next March

Wonderful news, cheers Jim.

Julie I really don't know what your problem is?

I am helping Brittania co-ordinate the event,

Richard is looking after the modern side as my knowledge of this type of music could be written on the back

of a fag packet and you'd still have room for your address (ask Kev Thomas)

At this moment in time I for one am pleased to be involved in any capacity

Events never stay the same, events evolve, as with everything in life but the old Prestatyn template is still evident

There will be a dedicated "rare" room with top calibre DJs already confirmed are Carl & Maria, Mick H, Joan Livsley, Ian Cunnliffe, Mark Speakman, Ted Massey and am still waiting to hear from Simon Hunt and Andy Dyson

There will be a room for "crossover" with top DJ's

There will be the main arena, with DJ's confirmed Nige Brown, Sean Chapman, Dave Evison, John Barker, Snowy, Ginger Taylor, Chris King and others yet to be confirmed

The live act THE VIBRATIONS what can I say but WOW

In the words of Gene Toones "What more do you Want"

Anyway off to Spain for a week in the sun and the European F1 in Valancia

Hope this goes someway as explanation
