Jez Bishop Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 A more descriptive topic header methinks! About time too! The last all-dayer in Chertsey was in 1990 when horse drawn carts used the M25 . This time the admission seems very reasonable Link to comment

This time the admission seems very reasonable Actually Chertseys relationship with Northern Soul goes way, way back bfore 1990, my mate Phil Barrs was a DJ at both the Chertsey Lock & Galleon, circa mid 70T's he would sneak the odd NS choon in whenever he could. We'll do some all-nighter the Saturday and make our way to Chertsey for this event. What kind of crowd will you get? What kind of numbers ? me and my mates are all old soulies on the wrong side of 50 Chris L Link to comment

Hopefully it will be well supported by people who remember those events. Also it's a Sunday before a bank holiday, free to get in, pub price ale, if the weathers good you can sit outside and still listen to the DJ's sweating away inside! Johnny. Link to comment
