Fabulous stuff Kev. I knew you'd do the business. Gutted to have missed it. Hope there's an opportunity for another.

Just looking again Kev. A few I don't know so I'll be checking them out.

But where do you start with the ones I do know?

Quality from start to finish - Watch Tower, Joy Incorporated, James Dee, Masterplan, Mantis, Diplomats, Four Mints, Mike James Kirkland, etc etc. Top drawer soul and such a welcome antidote to the turgid fodder of the top 500 and its ilk.

Hi Mike, many thanks for the kind words, the only way I would get involved in an event was to do this, instead of CD swaps and confining your Soul sessions to your record room because you can't dance to the Soul music you love, it's time it became the Main Event and played out instead of a couple of hours here and there in a backroom on an afternoon at a Weekender.

Awesome collection of Sweet Soul gems Chris, every one a gem, but if I had to pick out any of them as standouts from a standout set it would be a long time fave of mine Devastations-What makes me feel this way, so bloody good and so rare, when you have a chance to be in a room when its played out its an unbelievable experience, also the incredible Mel Production Band-Tears from the rain, awesome and really tough to find.

Great to hear all of this played out amongst like minded Soul fans. Fantastic Chris, great to have you and Andy Etheridge up in the North East.

What a day and what a refreshing and long time coming change.

Musically fantastic throughout!

A lot of the punters were saying that they had never heard of most of the records played and wanted it just that way. What other nights could say that?

I like a lot of others want this sort of night to be the future and hopefully it will be.

Well attended, nice vibe at venue with a great educated crowd. We'll all be back for the next one.

Ps. The food was lush too.

Pps. Was great to her Bernadette Bascom - I don't wanna lose your love !

Well done Kev, Pete & Gaz.

Many thanks for agreeing to help us out at such short notice, my sentiments also to Jakob for a speedy recovery, to hear Double O Domingoes played out at a venue was priceless Steve, Donald Lee Richardson was another beauty as was Love Experience prior to Double O, and on and on, exactly the kind of stuff we were wanting, got lots of good feedback for Steve and Chris but I knew all about them beforehand so no surprises for me there, both of these genuine guys welcome back anytime:hatsoff2:

Unfortunately I could only make the first 5 hours but what a fantastic and unforgettable experience it was. The venue itself is just perfect for this kind of event and the music played was outstanding as witnessed by the playlists above. (there are still some more to come?) - Well done and thank you to all the DJ's, you all played fantastic sets.

If anyone wants to know what Soul Heaven is, it's "SWEET DEEP & SOULFUL" - roll on the next one! - I'll be very surprised if it is not an immediate sellout.

Thanks Tony for the kind comments, it means a hell of a lot to Pete, Gaz and myself and gives us the enthusiasm and motivation to press on and sustain the standards set by the inception of Sweet, Deep and Soulful, great to see you Tony, will keep you up to speed

This is the 'Dogs B******s'. Superb venue, music (at least 80% I didn't know) people, hosts etc (not forgetting the food & beer) Thoroughly recommended to those who want something different. The only downside for me was the distance I had to travel.(over 200 miles).Many thanks to Steve Scotney for the lift & company (not forgetting John who travelled with us) My first time in the NE & will have to go back for more of a look round (I.e. only managed a quick look around Durham on the Sun morning)

A busy weekend for me as on the Sunday went to Steve Scotney & Brian Gouchers event in Stanwick.They are doing a splendid job along similar lines to Durham so get along to the next one if you can.

Hi Guys, it looks like we missed a good day/night.

As it turned out I wasn't well enough to do anything. All being well and good we will try and get up for the next one.

Glad it all went well as you all deserve it to.

Nicola and Gilly xx

 

Hi Nic and Gilly, just seen this, hope you are fully recovered and back to yourself, of course you were both missed, goes without saying:yes: 

 Will see you both soon for a catch up

This gig was a real pleasure to attend. All the Dj's were top notch, mixing true rarities with very common but fantastic soul 45's. Shed load of passion and no ego's from all who attended. Nice one!

Andy

Thanks for the kind words Andy, great to speak to you in person for a change, encyclopedia like knowledge on all things soulful, will be in touch for next one:thumbsup:
