Guest Chris Waterman Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 (edited) We had planned to post this two weeks ago, but due to having to "box" things off in a professional manner, ensuring that our venue Brookfield's Wolverhampton, was left in the best possible hands of Max Millward for Soul Nights and Lifeline for All-nighters it has been delayed until now. It is with mixed feelings that we post this, some of relief and some of sadness. After 5 years of promoting NCS we have decided that it is time to call it a day. We won't bore you with the details except to say that we have lost the desire and enjoyment to continue promoting in the ever increasing "Clashing Soul Calendar" Marcelle & I would like to thank all NCS Resident DJs, at CIS Manchester, Wulfrun Hall Wolverhampton, Queens Hall Stoke, VSC London, Melody's Birmingham and lastly Brookfield's Wolverhampton, our Co promoters in these venues, Max Millward, Neil Rushden, Phil Richards and Mace.

Mace Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Chris & Binty. Just wanna wish you both all the best, it was a pleasure working with you both at Queens Hall. Promoting, they say, is a thankless task, but I'll say thanks anyway, for some great nights out and for also giving me the chance to play my tunes at CIS, Wulfrun and Brookfields over the last few years. You know you'll both always be welcome as my guests at Bidds, anytime you wanna join us. The old shark tank will be somewhat less exciting without you both in it Regards Mace Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Winnie :-) Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Real shame, two of the better people about and very punter friendly. Remember when the rocket had a bit of a mare with the band over-running, and you put on a free night to compensate, not sure any others promoters would have done the same. Good that you'll still be out and about, maybe you'll enjoy it more without what must be massive pressure when promoting Winnie :-) Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Rob Wigley Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Hi Chris and Marcelle We have some very special memories of the New Century events, never had a bad one, enjoyed working with you both and your numerous co-promoters and I still think the CIS in Manchester had/ has something very special about it. Maybe all the ghosts of the past performers and being privvy to the vast backstage areas as well gave an insight into your events that many would not normally see. I think you "raised the bar" in event promoting and took it away from back street copy shops and scruffy villiage halls which were the norm before N.C. appeared raising the standard of events generally during the first part of the new Millenium. you also had the guts to bring over live acts, which i personally think was your strong point. good luck in everything you plan to do Rob & karen Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Maark Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 [Chris and Marcelle, Just want to say that from the first NSC at Manchester Co-op to the last one I attended at Brookfields I have always got a very friendly welcome and the most fantastic soul music......... You always tried to give the paying customer the best ....... You will be missed on the door........but welcome on the floor! Thanks!!!!

sister dawn Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Sincere respect to all those associated with New Century Soul, certainly a big noise on the scene over the past 5 years. Hopefully when the world and his dog has had enough of trying to put on a soul nite at every corner that houses electricity and they get tired of the hard work and dedication that they require, New Century Soul will arise once again to really show them how its all done properly. Enjoy the break while it lasts. Best Wishes Dawn ELSC Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Jumpinjoan Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Will never forget that first all nighter at CIS - couldn't help thinking who on earth would put an event on in a venue the size of a small country! Just showed how much I know, the place was rammed! Have enjoyed many, many of your nights over the years, but without doubt the Fabulous Peps was one of the best nights I have ever had in 20 odd years on the soul scene.

Ady Croasdell Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Bummer! What a shame, you were the most visionary and delivering promoters on the scene and it is much weaker for your departure. I'm sure you both really deserve a break. Dealing with the niggles and fragile egos of the scene is tough on anyone and ironically especially on people who care. If you fancy another bash later I'm sure there'll be a vacancy for a forward thinking promoter who puts their money where their mouth is. In the meantime just come out and have some fun, you're welcome at the 100 anytime. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
