Steve Brown Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Thanks for the kind words Kylee! It's not my place to comment on the night itself but would like to say a massive thank you to each and everyone that turned out to support us. Despite a monsoon the place was rammed packed, and that is a lot of people in the cavernous Pembo. A lot of credit must also go to the guest DJ's, Phil, Len and Hammie, who all played cracking music and seemed to enjoy themselves thoroughly. It makes it all worthwhile to see so many smiley faces at the end of a very hot and sweaty night! If you could bottle that atmosphere you could make a fortune. Cheers, Steve. Link to comment
Tabs Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Really brill night at the Pembo. The busiest I've seen it. Good mix of tunes / styles during the night which seemed to please the crowd as the dance floor was rarely empty. Great to meet the usual suspects again. Too many to mention but you all know who you are. Will miss the June event as I'm at Cleggy but will deffo be at the ones after that. Best to all Tabs Link to comment

Unfortunately, had to miss it as it was my turn to work all day Saturday and Sunday on mainentance. (wished I had not messed around at school and I could have got a Monday to Friday job in IT like Tabs) Nice catching up with you Steve at Bedford. Sorry to have missed all the Northampton friends - no doubt will catch up with you all soon. Well done once, again this is really a cracking venue, well run and friendly and of course most important cracking tunes played all night! Charlie Mc Banbury Soul club Link to comment
