Helen & Martin xx I am just in after leaving Stoke this morning at 10.30am UK time, it's now 20.00pm Belgian time. I always to to these events and the last 2 (March & July) were real crackers, packed to the gills. I have to say I was a tad disappointed , lower turnout than normal, some of the DJ's lost the plot somewhat I'll post something more substantial later tomorrow.

Chris L (tired little boy...zzzzzzzzzzzz...) Reason for the turnout being slightly lower than normal is because of the Prestatyn weekender which was to be expected!!! But we thought numbers were quite good considering. And as dancer,s we appreciated having the room to move on the dancefloor . Can,t understand the reason for you saying the DJ,s lost the plot they played classic oldies.........few 70,s.........and not at all repetitive as usually is the case!!

Guest Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 that was the best i had been to at kings hall ever numbers for me wear not down just about right .Asfor Djs losing the plot (rubbish) ones i have been to in the past the replays have all ways been the downside .I think i heard 3 all night so thats down from up to 10/or more that means 7 or more new records being played .Restored my faith in the old place .Top Djs playing top tunes Link to comment
Guest Emma Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 (edited) What a fantastic night! Panch, Chantelle, Bail and myself had a brilliant time. Great tunes and great atmosphere. DJs kept the floor full and it was nice to hear records that I haven't heard played for ages!! We were hardly off the dance floor. We will definitely be at the next one. Thanks guys Edited October 15, 2007 by Emma Link to comment

RobP Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Another superb kings Hall Niter. We got there eventually about 1130 after waiting for TerryC in Corley service station car park for what seemed a lifetime . The atmosphere was fantastic, the sounds definitely hit the spot (2 ringing wet shirts to vouch for that), you cant beat walking in to an event and seeing the dancefloor packed, makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck. Cant wait for the next. Rob. Link to comment

Guest terryc Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Went to Kings Hall on saturday for the first time. What a night, superb sounds, excellent floor, great sound system, wiganesque sweaty bodies everywhere (ah the memories..). Got a lift with my mate RobP who arrived at Corley services about a minute before me! (and he was wearing his sainsbury checkout shirt) Even had a couple of visits to the modern room which I thought was impressive. Great event, brilliantly supported and I would agree, any more than there was there would be a tad tight on the floor! TC Link to comment

Chris Lalor Hi Totally agree with your comment about some of the DJ's losing the plot. My guess would be Butch and Mick H?? The dance floor was heaving and a shit hot atmosphere!! Went out for a ciggy and a natter as Butch started his spot. Came back to find the dance floor half empty and the atmosphere gone. Thought Mick H would have picked it back up again but didn't. Usually enjoy him. Best spot for me was Chris King. Went and introduced myself and told him. Glad I did. What a luvly chap!! Trish Link to comment

Excellent job well done by all you guys ...........you certainly did the buisness THANKYOU!!! Helen & Martin xx Always enjoy kings but was a bit dissapointed with the july one tho, Have to agree sat certainly was one of the best nights in kings for a long time. I also was going to give it a miss and decided thurs night to go but by sat afternoon i was having second thoughts as no one seemed to be going but like your good selves am glad I did, was a bit suprised by the turn out what with prestatyn on aswell ok so numbers might of been down but that didn't seem to make any difference and I was expecting less than there was there. Had a girl with us who as never been to a soul night before never mind a niter and she had a fantastic night and cant wait for next one, absolutly brilliant night the Dj's certainly did do a superb job, dont know how my poor legs kept going and I sure was suffering for it Monday morning but well worth it. And to Dave[wulfie] and Anne missed you both along with the rest of usual crowd thats there with us that was the only down point of the night for me, you all would have loved it roll on blackpool.

Thanks Mark, so losing the plot could mean playing a few things other than the classics? I wonder how the Parliments Rainy Day would have gone down, surely even the most die hard oldies fans would want to dance to this? Link to comment
