Skegg Weekender

[coops]

Skegg weekender, the Friday night.

Business as normal at this jewel on the east coast, know as the friendly weekender it well lived up to it's image.

Upstairs the floor was very, very busy right from the go only matched by the amply staffed but over worked bar!!

Slight change to music upstairs with an hour of Cleethorpes tunes slipped in and this will be repeated by Jonathan on the Saturday.

Some commented that the Vault seemed to lose a little of it's up-front edge by some of the tune-smiths playing, in respect of the vault, a fairly safe set. That's for others to discuss because I stayed upstairs and enjoyed dancing to some fond memories via the workings of Steve Foster, Mac, Yocky, Mick Moylans, Rob Smith Pete Taylor and Snowy, all to a one kept the crowd going who, in return kept them motivated.

A great Friday night, and, as per normal here at Skegg Saturday speaks of being even more busy inside this jewel of the East Coast.

Had a great weekend as we allways do here, mr raistrick you pulled it off again lots of happy soulies never spoke to anyone who wasn`t enjoying the weekend, a step back in time for me, met so many people who just made you feel welcome, greetings to all the crowd from australia nice to meet you all, saturday we went to the square peg where the wife was djing, same again great little venue so many friendly people, if you havn`t been to this weekener your missing out, no politics just everyone thier to enjoy themselves wich to me is what it all about ps roger & rupert just been unpacking and found our plant branch you gave di

[Andy Jackson]

Once again an excellent weekend in great company, there were many highs for me. Although I didn't spend much time upstairs, when I did pop up there was a full dance floor and smiley faces , which is always good.

The standard of music in the vault was excellent on Saturday (wasn't there Friday), and the diversity was well received by the crowd who were both appreciative and respectful of the variety. I note a comment from Coops about the vault not delivering on the Friday, well it certainly did on the Saturday. Quite outstanding music.

After my spot quite a few people asked for track titles etc, so here is my playlist.

GQ - Make my dreams a reality

Bilalian creation - Save the children

Charles Johnson - Never had a love so good

Tribute - Bob Sinclair

UBP - We are one

Michael Proctor - Love don't live

Joi Caldwell - Let it go

Dreamgirls - Family

Philly All Stars - Clean up the ghetto (Chicago mix)

Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes - Reaching for the world

JB Bingham - All alone by the telephone

Neo - Smile

Thanks to the dancers for making it a very enjoyable set and to Roger Banks for understanding why I had to end with a house track.

Dont forget Upfront on the Seafront at Skeg 29th November at the Suncastle - Modern and Rare Soul.

First time for us at Skeggy, but wont be the last, absolutely loved it.

What really struck us was the atmosphere, absolutely electric.

Highlight of the weekend was Sunday afternoon with Martha Reeves & the fat fellas, absolutely hilarious. Unfortunately we didnt have the camera on us, so couldnt take any piccies, but they wiped the floor with the Chippendales

A special thank you to the 2 guys who came to our rescue on Friday night when we locked oursleves out

Simon, I think you'd had too many drugs yesterday, I didnt see anyone dressed as a smurf on the dancefloor

Thanks to the York lot for the company & a special thanks to Jackie Chan for making me laugh all weekend .

The piccies are in the gallery.

[Guest denmac]

the vault at skegg.dave you have created a haven for forward thinking dj`s and dancers. this weekend was for me one of those times when i dance to something and then ask what the,.,. was that. its in the grooves that count.the vault stands along sites like southport,fleetwood, cleethorps upstairs. how do i know? cos i`ve been there. at skegg some commented that upstairs seemed to loose a little of its oldies edge by some of the tune smiths playing newies. thats for others to discuss because i stayed down stairs and heard and danced to some brilliant new and different stuff.when i say new it was new to me when i say different it wasnt obviously northern.
