Sadly it’s all over for another year — Brisbane’s turn to host in 2014.  On top of the 300 locals and interstaters, we had over 30 visitors from UK together with the New Zealand and Singapore Soul Clubs and even a visitor from Paris.  All up around 350 individuals which is above average for this event.  The playlists just seem to get better and better, way too many to list here so here’s a brief sample of a few…

Well done chaps (and Chapesses). Chuffed to bits it all went with a bang for you. Great stuff! Make sure Ginger keeps a hat on!

Regards,

Dave

Fantastic playlist from all the DJ,s wish I had the dosh to make it over to Brisbane next year .

Great sets played by all, we certainly enjoyed ourselves. Like Ian, wish we could make it next year but that's up to the lottery. I would not dispell the one in Sydney the year after tho !

Maybe catch up with you Pete in the UK sometime, Brid perhaps as this year, take care.

Pete

Not many black RCA amongst that little lot

Great sets from all,as has been said wish I could get over(maybe if I stopped buying those little black plastic things I'm might be able to )

Cheers

Martyn

Cracking tracks amongst that lot.

I missed the number 5 bus after me tea otherwise I'd have been there 

Great tunes ( as to be expected)

See you in Brisbane 2014 and Mr Cunliffe can carry my bags if he saves up  

Thanks Julian for payin for me ,I'll carry yer bags and you no problem mate x

My plan is to be there in 2014! Last time was 2002 so time I caught up!

now that's what you call a playlist,

No but the quest continues Martyn... just added Roy Hamilton (Shook) and Derek & Ray, not exactly ground-breaking allnighter material

Top quality!

Now wouldn't it be good to hear oldies like those listed at Oldies nights in the UK. East Midlands take note.

Some great stuff played there, however, thought Samantha would have played the incredible Bernard Drake "I've been untrue"

Bernard Drake - I've been untrue

Soul Aces - You're diffrent

Herman Hitson - You can't keep a good man down

Kitty Doswell - Just a face in the crowd

Ginger Taylor playlist , just incredible

Yes sorry Samantha, I indiscriminately cut the playlist samples down to 16
