Hi there, just a short email to say thankyou to all who attended the club last night. It was another resounding success! Particular thanks go out to all the DJs who did fantastic jobs keeping the dancefloors full.

Playlists to be posted up please guys and gals

DJ serpico warmed room 2 up nicely with some chilled out sounds and some nice funky vibes handing over to Steve Lloyd to continueGavin Page unfortunately couldn't make it due to being ill, (hope you get better soon mate!) So Steve Lloyd & Ady Pountain got extended dj sets, no complaints from either of them as they both just love to spin in the modern room. Well done guys, hope you enjoyed yourselves. Jon Willis, Mick Lloyd, Hippo & Pete Lyster all did fantastic sets in the northern room to keep the place rocking!! again thanks for all your sets. room three was again very successful and a BIG thankyou to Jinksy, Hippo, Don Palmer and Sue Taylor for sharing the night and making that room what it is. Further thanks go out to everyone who helped me this time. Jon Willis, Colin Tindall, Rob Adams,Jinksy, Bev,Caine & my lovely wife Ann ( my back is much rested now, so thanks for that) I've saved the BIGGEST thankyou till last, and that goes out to all the Soulfusion Massive (currently standing at 1,920) who come back regularly from near and far to help create such a fantastic atmosphere. "YOU ARE A VERY SPECIAL BUNCH OF PEOPLE, THANKYOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT " I look forward to seeing you all on Saturday 31st May for another BIG soulful night out!

Neil,

Another cracking night !!!!!!!!!

I spoke to one of the guys after his set, pointed to the dance floor and commented that after 30 years or more the dance floors are still packed.

Great venue,

Great music,

Great crowd,

What more do you want ????

A lot of 'newcomers' in as well, which I like to see. (the future audience.)

One person you did NOT thank and that was YOURSELF (no pun intended!)

A BIG THANK YOU for organising a brilliant event.

We know what hard work it takes to get everything together.

We took Paul with us this time, (Soulfusion virgin) and he loved it as soon as he walked in. He even danced before I did !!!!!!

He said it was the BEST night he had been to so far and can't wait for the next one.

Thanks again and see you at our night in May,

Maz, Del, and Paul.

Pete, had lots of great feedback regarding your set, my wife said I should book you again as many people commented on the music being spun!

Well done to you and thanks for making the effort. Glad to see Kathy out on the floor.

Good luck with Bridgwater Soul on the 29th

Has to be one of the best nights I've had for ages - lots of tunes, lots of people and lots of beer ...must give a mention to the Canada connection, Mrs. Newer 04, who I spotted out on the floor - Kev, I hope your record fair back in Canada was as good as Soulfusion!

Well done Neil, I was proud to be there!

Hippo.

Hi Jerry

She called me Sunday and said it was a great night and was good to see Steve Hurtt, Adey Pountain, Fudge, yourself, infact all the old Stroud lot she used to knock about with.

Record Fair was Ok, picked up a few things best of which would be a copy of Soft Walking and a couple of Canadian issues - Jackie Shane - Comin Down, Loreleis (150 in Tim's Book??), The Persians, Patti Austin, plus some cheapies by the Royalettes, John Rhys, and a couple of Reggae things.

So it WAS worth it!! And don't worry, when you make it back next, we'll still be here, doing what we've been doing for the last 30-odd years!
