Craig W Posted October 1, 2006 Author Share Posted October 1, 2006 (edited) Just like to give a big thank you to everyone who turned up on Friday (only our second night here) to make this a very busy night with a superb atmosphere and great music , we even had some young faces in which makes a nice change and one bloke I was talking to had made the journey from Bangor. We had a bit of a problem with some crafty sods sneaking in without paying down through the upstairs door which was left open for some reason Talking to a number of people who attended because of its underground location , its retro theme , arches ,offset rooms and layout commented what a great venue it was and how it felt like bieng at an authentic 60s/70s venue.Plenty of people came up to the decks to see what was playing and asking for requests which is allways nice. Tim the manager was so impressed he has asked us to do the December 29th Xmas party Cellarfull of Soul event in the huge ballroom upstairs which has a massive sprung dancefloor and 400 plus capacity which has put us in a bit of a position to make a decision to keep it underground which will be a fantastic night or go for the big one upstairs. I've uploaded a video of Friday night which was took at various stages of the night by my camera with no flashlight so the quality is pretty poor but it gives you an idea of the atmosphere.Click the below link. https://www.soul-source.co.uk/index.php?act=module&module=gallery&cmd=si&img=16661 PS. Dont forget to catch Hitsville Chalky who will be in Detroit this week and while out there will be live on The Right Track Radio Show live on Tuesday night Sylvester Potts from The Contours between 9 - 11.30 pm on this link.
