Shsdave Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 (edited) NEW NEW VENUE Yorkshire Grey have cancelled so we have yet another new venue, for details see end of thread If you've been to SHS before, you know the set up, if you haven't we play 60s Northern, the underplayed & semi-knowns that deserve to be heard & imaginative quality classics as well as current all nighter monsters all on original vinyl. If you want to hear a mix of quality music some that you may not know plus enough well known tunes to go home sweaty, we believe that Solid Hit is as good a night as you will get almost anywhere else. Not only musically but our many regulars create a great friendly atmosphere & I'm sure that will continue at the Yorkshire Grey. Heard it all before ? Come see & judge for yourself.

Shsdave Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 (edited) It's been a long time coming but at last we can announce........... Solid Hit Soul is back ! Since losing O'Neils I have been constantly searching for a suitable venue & it's been bloody difficult, despite SHS regulars chipping in with suggestions, ......................................such as get yer bloody finger out Greenhill although a few have been tips on venues so thanks to everyone for your help & support. Anyway from 15th February we will be Upstairs at The Yorkshire Grey 29-33 Grays Inn Road WC1X 8HR Although slightly smaller than O'Neils I think it has a similar feel to the place (minus the stage) , it's a basic room above the pub with it's own bar & toilets & wooden floor & I think the atmosphere will be as good as ever . If you've been to SHS before, you know the set up, if you haven't we play 60s Northern, the underplayed & semi-knowns that deserve to be heard & imaginative quality classics as well as current all nighter monsters all on original vinyl. If you want to hear a mix of quality music some that you may not know plus enough well known tunes to go home sweaty, we believe that Solid Hit is as good a night as you will get almost anywhere else. Not only musically but our many regulars create a great friendly atmosphere & I'm sure that will continue at the Yorkshire Grey. Heard it all before ? Come see & judge for yourself. The Yorkshire Grey is a 5 minute walk from Chancery Lane tube & a 12-15 minute walk straight down the road will bring you to Kings Cross. Buses 19, 22 & 38 stop close by & I will update this with exact dropping off point. Also checking out the situation with street parking Edited January 16, 2008 by SHSDave Link to comment

Shsdave Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 (edited) NEW NEW VENUE After losing O'Neils it took months of searching the internet & tramping the streets looking for a new venue & finally came upon Yorkshire grey. After 2 visits + a couple of confirmation emails everything was set for the 15th Feb. Posted on here (& thanks for all the encouraging posts on this thread ), SHS website updated, flyers sorted, we are ready.........well until this monday when i received an email from the owner advising that due to an ongoing & as yet unresolved issue with a neighbour & the council they have agreed to only have "low playing stereo music" in the function room & so the SHS night has been cancelled. Although apologetic he had always doubted that the night would be able to go ahead Thanks for telling me mate !!!!!!!! Frantic phone calls turn up 2 possible replacement venues. Arrange to visit that evening, 1st one wasn't really suitable but I did think as an emergency replacement it may have to do .........until they asked if there would be much dancing I hope so was my reply why, Oh it's just that the floor is a bit dodgy was the reply !!!! How loud will your music be ?????? err loud enough to dance to & listen to without making our ears bleed ? It's just that you will have to start turning it down at 11 pm !!!!!!!!!! This is for a venue that closes at 1am. Anyway the good news is that the 2nd venue has a strong oak floor, no limit on noise so wear yer ear plugs Real ale for those that like that sort of thing, Lagers etc less than 3quid a pint where is it ? Upstairs at The City Pride 28 Farringdon Lane Clerkenwell EC1R 3AU Same details 8pm-1am £5 entry More details to follow Edited February 6, 2008 by SHSDave Link to comment

Guest Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Well done Dave in getting a replacement venue. I know all about idioit venue "managers" and their inability to tell it straight! Won't be able to make the 15th, but hope to make the next one. Do you reckon you'll settle with The City Pride is all goes well next week??? Phil Link to comment

Won't be able to make the 15th, but hope to make the next one. Do you reckon you'll settle with The City Pride is all goes well next week??? Phil Yes Phil this was the owner & in his email he actually said he had explained to me the situation. Which was why I asked Stuart if he could fly over from Guernsey to DJ & had flyers designed & printed to give out at Lifeline all at very short notice....just on the off chance that the night may go ahead .....dick ! To be honest haven't given much thought to the next one Phil, I've just been panicking since about 11am monday trying to ensure that Solid Hit could go ahead, getting alternate flyers sorted, I'm back up there tonight to sort out what will go where etc. Plus it all depends what dates are available, I couldn't believe that I was able to get a venue in a fairly central location at such short notice. Anyway better get off to the City Tavern, I may go & stick my tongue out at the Yorkshire Grey on the way as it's only a few minutes up the road Link to comment
Md Records Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Always look forward to this, fabulous, fabulous place to cut loose with a few different uptempo 60's things, currently near the front of the "hot box" are these 10. Donna Coleman - What I Need Hy Tones - Hey Little Woman Soul Sensations - Baby I Need You Robert Walker - Shake Me Up Herb Ward - Honest To Goodness (Alt. Take) Stokes - Fortune Teller Dean Parrish - Born To Lose Fay Simmons - Baby, Baby Ronnie Walker - I Should Cry Tranells - Blessed With A Love (Alt. Take) See You there Des Parker Link to comment

Shsdave Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share Posted February 12, 2008 Can any one give an idea of any where to park near this venue. cheers Mark. Hi Mark, The venue advises of street parking after 6pm & of course the congestion charge finishes @ 6.00. If you'd prefer to use a car park there are a couple nearby let me know & I'll find out the address for you. cheers Dave Link to comment

Had a look on google and looks ok for street parking as you said. So I will give that a shot. Looking forward to Friday already. Mark. Link to comment
Shsdave Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 Just a couple of days to go to the next Solid Hit & from the amount of phone calls & pm's I've had I think that this could be a packer so get there early & if you're travelling any distance do give me a call on the day to guarantee entry. This isn't the bullshit that you hear about "packed venues"etc, it's an honest assessment. Anyway if that isn't enough to get you there early then the quality of the music should be. We have 5 hours & intend to fill that time with quality underplayed 60s Northern along with current big tunes & some class classics. Des Parker will be kicking off at 8pm & don't expect yer nice slowies etc that eases people into the evening . Des is champing at the bit so expect full on Northern straight from the off. I know that he's got some new stuff that he's dying to play & personally I can't wait to hear them. If you're coming straight from work or just wanna have a few beers before hand, decent pub grub is available downstairs. Beer is competitively priced ( I think) for a centrally located venue with a real ale pump (hopefully with beer waiting to flow) It's been 8 months since the last Solid Hit & personally I can't wait to get started again Link to comment
Guest Lucy Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Really looking forward to this, closest night out to my 40th. See you there. Lucy Link to comment
