Rob Wigley Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Thanks to everyone who helped/DJ'd/appeared/did stuff beyond the call of duty to keep the event running smoothly.......You all know who you are. Will have showcase song list when I get it out of my suit pocket !!! 1,800 in the "pre-event party" thursday night ! 3,500 at the weekender 2,300 re-booked for 2008. All moans and groans taken very seriously, we got rid of the ones from last year. And not to forget Archers "Peach Snapps" for sponsoring Pete Widdowson.............. more later Rob & Karen Wigley ps I played "Gonna build california" in my set on Friday night in the "House of Soul" will be massive this time next year and a perk of the job is I can suggest songs for the Artists to sing !!!!

Guest Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 You're right about Pete, he had 3 litres in the fridge at the chalet that all went so god knows what he drank from the bar as well Link to comment
Manfromsoul45s Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Only went for Sat afternoon and Niter session as last year found the weekender boring - enjoyed Life Line in the Redemption room Sat afternoon, musically it was over for me after that - feel it would make the weekender worth going to if Life Line was a niter session - just more and more of week in week out stuff in main hall Socially it was great but it's also about the music and dancing. Imo it caters for everyone's taste, except those of us that go out to listen and dance to something different for a change, such as semi/unknown record's, c/u's etc and not forgetting the unissued stuff that we rarely get the pleasure to dance too, or hear played out. The act's were a little disappointing - enjoyed Dee Dee Sharpe in rehersal more than on the nite - all still have great voices. Went on too long, especially the ending. Enjoy live performance's in smaller, more intimate venue's tbh. Nothing to write home about I'm afraid IMO, had a great time catching up with friends though Karen Was curious to know what the artist showcase was this year..as it was "king of the road" last year i was kinda expecting "ring of fire" or "harper valley PTA"...soul and then some...

Guest Dr Bob Jones Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I have to say a big thank you to the organisers of this years Prestatyn (especially Fish) for allowing me to play my inspirational soul in the Modern Room. I thought the Modern Room worked much better this year than last. From a DJ point of view it is a vast space to play, but it really was better this time. All the rooms seem to be working well and the 'live' acts were spot on. Thanks once again for the support and the positive words you all gave me during the weekend. Looking forward to 2008. Much respect Dr Bob Jones '40 years presenting quality black music across the globe, 2007' Link to comment

Dean Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Nice pictures,spotted a few friends on em wheelchair Dave Big kieth Manlove lorraine ( girl with the same blouse top on as you ) Al taylor The Attic Boys and a few in the background Not been to Prestatyne yet Thanks for the piccy's Bazza Did anyone hear Attic Steve's drunken abuse on the radio slot around 05.30 Sat morn? His "I'm going to take it steady" lasted for about 6 pint then went up the wall. Lovelly doing a spot on the radio with him, Kev and Garry................"Dean, you might have to press the buttons for me mate!" Unfortunatley he got hold of the mic. I agree with some of the points made about repeat plays, especially in the main hall, and some fairly safe spots. But IMO Prestatyn is more of a celebration event, and it works very well as that. Not really sure why we started on bottles of wine on Sunday evening though. Really enjoyed Hidaway crewe in Redemption early Sunday Eve and then top spots in Queen Vic from Keith Money, Tim Brown, Steve Green, Mick H. Thought the music was good in main room on Friday night too. Link to comment
Little-stevie Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Yes the tunes in the main room were pretty nice on Friday from 1am onwards...No point going on about safe djs and repeats really,its a weekender for so many different folk and i am sure we all got a little something in the 5 rooms...One thing could be dj playlists on paper and then the next djs on could see what was played..Just a thought... Queen Vic was quality all day Friday..And John Baxter playing Breaking point,it sounded so good and on the wants list for my good dj freind ..Nice vibe in that room all weekend but again the flood lights were on the dancefloor,not gonna get much going with them beaming down on you...This point is posted every year,it must be a health and safety issue.. Only spent a short time in Redemption,good tunes on Sunday night from Mr Banks/Dutton and the mighty Hoss,i found out why they call him Hoss too Plenty of other stuff in there too but most of the days were spent sleeping/eating and chilling in the chalet and in others too...Many folk spend a large part of the weekend this way,so many people to catch up with from all over the uk and overseas.. Like some folk said,its a big party and we treat it that way,i missed many djs but will have the chance to see them out and about every week,only one chance to see so many freinds in one place at the same time.. Nice vibe in the smaller room playing 70s/crossover/modern/jazz,only in there for short periods but did like it...Nice touch with the sofa or two.. All the PA/Decks looked in better quality, was playing off one deck in the vic two years ago.... I could have spent the whole time catching up with people....Great to see Anna/Juan Carlos/David and all the crowd from Spain...Had a blast with the Ireland soulies..Good to meet Dave Moore from Hitsville for the first time...Too many more to mention,you know who you all are... The best laugh of the weekend was with Tony Hafield and his good lady,had to go back and change my panties after his little story.. Warm in the chalet with the heating on and only cost us a few quid each for 4 days...The weather aint really an issue with just one mins walk between the chalet and main building... Some folk will always find faults first,its way they are made..I did find a few of them but many many more positives...Victor Meldrew and co were there,expect nothin more fromthese folk..Could any of you put on an event of this size for so many folk of different ages and tastes in black music.It does show the promoters did listen to past comments and make changes I hope the lady who lost her panties had a few spare ones... Nice to see the bloke with old ladies fanny breath and the ladies trying to avoid the kiss from him What about the pirate in the main room dancefloor/the bloke in the Benny hat who danced for 4 days without a break... Plus all the other creatures of the night who make a weekend what it is.... It was nice to take my good lady for her first weekender,if she get out of hospital before Cleethorpes then i am sure we can repeat it Its been said before..If you like it at Prestatyn then i am sure you will book again,if you dont then stay away and let the others have some fun...When you break the cash down then its a pretty good bargain........................Chalet/Live acts/Djs/table tennis/water sports etc....We had it all for less than £20 a day... Olof only got to 83 pints and will try and be back next year to beat the 100 mark... Smile....You only live once... Link to comment

Guest soul kitten Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 where to start arrived Thursday , warmed the chalet up and ourselves and off we went, lost the boys straight away ,no change there then, always enjoy Thursday night ,not as busy although busier than has been before,highlight for me was Pat Lewis had had a few too many Brandy's,sooo friendly,gave us a song. was seen later in the toilets talking to herself in the mirror, up till 3 then rest our weary heads, who was that man dressed in black with the scarve on his head and all that gold, kept me entertained just watching him Friday Pub opened at 11 ,guess where the boys were the meeting up place for all our friends,the Middleton boys kept us entertained all day and the very peculiar tasting beer/larger was flowing well, spent the evening between,Queen Vic n Modern room,did nt venture much into main room ,record bar was a bit like a cattle market ,could hardley hear your self think,Listened to Melissa Morgan in the Modern room,the lady was tiny so could nt see her ,but had a big voice to make up for that.too much jungle juice overcame us so pacing ourselves decided to retire shortly after that. Saturday usual starting place ,Queen Vic ,God those Man U fans get moody when you stand in front of the tv sorry) Then to Lifeline ,not for me but the rest of them really looking forward to this ,but they were v dissappointed as im sure Patto let them all know later on , i went to Soul in the Sun always good value and a laugh. was expecting the cattle market again saturday night but did nt seem as bad ,got our spot on the balcony and stayed there to watch the live acts, Maurice Chestnut was good value,not so much for his singing but looked like an extra from the mask in that suit,and any one who can do a forward roll at that age has my respect.then came good old Pat who looked totally different from Thursday night,PPM was fantastic as was DD Sharp,think Pat been at the brandy again thanking all the band at the end,you could nt shut her up. Sunday in the pub again ,then wandering about catching up with old friends and generally having a laugh,Sunday night definatly delivered the goods in the Queen Vic really enjoyed it in there,well done Mick H for not belting the bloke trying to dismantle the decks at the end,totally out of order all in all had a good time ,musically dissapointing at times but if you don t like it in one room ,move ,you ll find something else,Socially fantastic as ever and after deciding we definatley would nt be back next year promptly went and booked finally thanks to the idiots above us who decided to have a party on Sunday night,just what you need when you need some sleep prior to the long drive home Steve n Sharon Link to comment

Paulb Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Can't believe Olof didn't make the 100 pint mark. What a wussy! Cracking weekend for me. One of the highlights had to be in the swimming pool about 9.00am sunday when a gang of soulies came in and broke nearly every one of the swimming pool rules (apart from heavy petting). This included stripping down to their undies and jumping in. The poor lifeguards didn't have a clue what to do. Good to see Alan getting some serious table tennis action in. He wasn't too happy when one of my mates kicked his ass though. He tried to laugh it off and pretend he wasn't bothered, but we all knew it hurt him. Just the 18 hours in bed for me yesterday and just about recovered now! Only my 2nd Prestatyn but I find it hard to grumble at 5 rooms of soul for an entire weekend surrounded by like-minded people for 50 beans. Looking forward to next year already. Link to comment

Also have to mention Gaz Simon, Kev Kane & Wally, you're good people & your crack was spot on. Musically it was nowt flash, but over the weekend, I'm sure there was something for everybody. This isn't a slur on the organisers, It's impossible to keep all of the people happy, all of the time, but you are doing a good job. Stand out for me was Soul Sam's Sunday Crossover set in the tenty thing, heaven or what? .He even played a record for the Darlo lads. Also the addition of percussion to the modern room, which certainly adds another element to the sound. Close you eyes and you'd think you were in the Paradise Garage! Socially this is a brilliant occasion & it was great to catch up with people I havn't seen for ages. I did find it quite sad in a way, as I noticed we're all getting older & without the influx of much new young blood there won't be many of these days left, so we should be embracing what we've got left and gving these occasions the gusto they deserve!. Anyway, hopefully I can be recovered for next year & we can do this all over again. Do yourselves a favour. Make hay while the sunshines! You don't know what you've got until it's gone! GeordieBri.

Maria O Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I went straight to work Monday, so I'm never going to recover enough for a review. Here's my 2 cents worth, if anybody's interested: favourite rooms: House of Soul on Friday night (x-over) and the Lifeline Room on Saturday afternoon. Also great to hear Kenny and Keith again after quite a while - got some dancing in there. favourite artist/s: Roy Roberts and Dee Dee for her voice favourite DJ set: Dave Ripolles (again!) - need to remember to book this man favourite idea for 2008: dedicate each room a bit more, including one for those who often get to more than one weekender a month and lots of soul nights between (eg. a '60's/70's but no RnB' room ) my idea for 2008: leave the rehearsals open to all please. Some of us don't feel comfortable in crowds but want to be close when the artists sing. It's been my biggest buzz many times in the past most annoying moment1: breaking speed limits to get there by 9pm Friday for radio, only for the other half to be told that his name was a misprint on the programme. An extra pain when you have two spots that night/morning most annoying moment2: -> even Sam had never seen this plonker before, and that lad's been around the main reason I go: the live acts! & catching up with mates from all over the uk and europe, coz most of the DJs I can hear elsewhere m Link to comment

Keith Money Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 me and keith had a great time doin this we just seem to click when we double deck.personally had a great weekend right from thursday when mick h forced me back to the chalet and made me drink jack daniels. only trouble personally for me was havin to share a bed with my mate john mills he snores like an elephant so consequently didnt get much sleep so was forced to stay up all night thanx to all the friends i spent time with over the weekend especially woody mr mills,mr rimmer,lyndsey and karen and her lovely daughter lotte anyway still not fully recovered so will climb back into my rockin chair Just like to say what a great weekend we had and also what a brilliant laugh which is what its all about. Its was really enjoyable being doubled up with John again on Sunday night, The man has some seriously soulfull records and thanks to everybody who was there and has said how much they enjoyed it. Thats the last two years we have done this so hopefully it will become a permenant fixture for the Sunday night. Too many highlights for me but Friday night in the Tent with Arthur Fenn and the rest of the guys was fantastic. Also Mick H and the rest of the Lifeline boys Saturday afternoon was also a bit special. With so many different rooms to go to and the Queen Vic if you get bored in one place just go to another room. It is impossible to please everybody but when you think of people no longer with us who should be there like Nigel Shaw it sort of brings it into perspective. I would just like to end by saying thanks for all the tremendous support I get, And for all the people who stayed up late Sat/Sun morning.I dont take it for granted so thanks very much and see some of you at 100 Club Keith Link to comment
