Andybellwood Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 (edited) Another great nite at this fantastic up market venue right in the centre of Peterboro. Good numbers , friendly crowd , great PA, Think we caught a bit of all the DJs apart from Dougie Hall-which was no reflection on Dougie , just time constaints. Excellent sets from all with a good, balanced mix of the rarer quality stuff (yet stiil in tune with the audience and dance floor ) to the classics and oldies-a bit of RnB, crossover, 70s, modern and caught some mean funky stuff downstairs. Big plus for me was a distinct lack of commercial motown and hearing Candi Staton 'now you've got the upper hand ' -one of those tunes I never tire of hearing .... Good to see Carl & Co on the dance floor -worth the admission price alone Nice to see our old friends from our days in Peterboro-Dave and Marie and Gill . First time at EASC for all three but won't be their last , as boy did they enjoy it. Finally thanks to the organisers and all involved. Edited April 30, 2007 by YKSoulandy Link to comment

Guest StefMalajny Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Another great nite at the City Club, I may be a bit biased but this has to be the ultimate small venue, we have the baby ballroom upstairs , Carl Piper and his Mansfield baggy clad crew travel 70 miles every month to rip into the oldies, then we go down into the most solubrious lounge with massive leather chairs where those of us a bit hard of hearing can chin wag about "the old days" , we then have the Atrium a sort of huge conservatory where the crossover stuff is played, there is also a raised bar at the front and the beer garden will be in full swing at the next event.and some real ale wow All profits go to the NSPCC so its a fiver well spent , the residents work for free and we have some A list jocks lined up who have kindly agreed to come down for petrol money, thank you guys.its the last Friday of each month and more than well worth checking out. Oh and we give away free pizzas at 1.00 am We totally embrace all the good things about our lovely scene, hope to see you there Link to comment

Andybellwood Posted May 3, 2007 Author Share Posted May 3, 2007 yep twas Dave and Marie Colton !! Dave has just good at hiding his 'soulboy' providence ......after all as bass player of The Name they did some awesome 'covers' including 'In Crowd' , 'take me to the river', 'my girl ', tracks of my tears ' etc . Expect to see him at EASC in the future and next time he says he'll have his dancing shoes on ..... have a look at website www.thename.tv and (slim) Dave in his mod suit Link to comment
