I'd like to thank you in advance for all your hard work. It's definitely a mean feat to pull off a weekender of this size and magnitude where I and many others are more than grateful for your toil. Here's to another TOTALLY BRILLIANT weekend just like the previous 7 I've enjoyed - make it count people

Wonder if thats good enough for all the shit stirrers who dont even go.

Looking forward to this Nicola. What's latest ETA? Cheers Byrney

I hope in all this confusion someone involved with Britania has remembered to apply for a drink's licence ! come on Tim it'll be a great weekend please think how Jon , mark and fish must be feeling they all deserve a drink off all of us , there are much bigger events that take place like reading , Glastonbury festivals that have loads of artists , dance tents ect they alway's have cancelations there's nothing you can do but go and enjoy the music ,That's what we'll all do but i do think that Britania should have let this weekend run and reorganise the October event to suit them.Once again please think about the guy's who have put lot's of time and effort in to this perhaps any one with heaveyer views should contact Britania directly with thier concerns there's nothing like people power perhaps if they get enough firm but polite emails they will listen to thier customers all the best Sy.

Payment sent, it realy is nice to see Otis Willams name on a new 7" record you know full well you will be getting quality soul no matter when recorded, I realy do like the two tracks but "i got to have you" is the side for me, Thanks for yet another one to treasure Phil Steve J

Take no notice of him Ted. He's not worth it:) will be lovely to see you again as always.

Damn fat finger errors lol

I know one thing. For the money it's the bargain of the century. Moanets stay away from me please lol

too toad , i wasnt saying these lads dont give a toss , i was reffering too other promoters who will remain nameless, we know who they are,this isnt the first time things have gone wrong with weekenders and it wont be the last , but at least they are trying too resolve issues, i went too a certain weekender years ago too see one act , charged £50 for 2 , and the promoters knew full well on the tuesday the act had a throat infection and still charged full price , all im saying is give them a chance too work with what they have :lol:

At last the release date is set for Monday, March 7th.

i think that folks are getting a little heated here , lets just see what happens and then if you dont like the new changes , then dont attend again , things are a little out of the co promoters hands because of the takeover, new ventures dont always follow what is booked , and then you have promoters who couldnt give a toss what you think as long as they have your money ,on this occasion these lads have too go with what the new owners say , it may not be too many peoples expectations as bands and d,j,s being taken off , but there trying too make the effort for a good weekend, so give em a chance and like myself , if your not satisfied then say so in big letters afterwards, but at least lets see what comes of it , the very open minded , kev Thomas the soul ninja lol

I quite like the pub. Even dancing on the tiles is great. I've heard some of the best music in that pub ever with the likes of Steve Green, Keith Money, John Weston and the Soultown lads.

Is it just the modern room thats having problems atb carl

Surely not on the soul scene ,fact is pontins has been sold and new owners are calling the shots end of story.Its a fact of life in the uk now most companys councils etc are cutting back.This is no different someone always gets the shitty end of the stick,which aint good.

Some people moan for the sake of moaning though Andy

Post 182 seems to explain the the modern side of the event fully ,theres a few enforced changes to fri alldayer in the queen vic but still lots on offer at this weekrnder.Can understand peoples reaction but am sure both promoters are doin everythin they can under the difficult conditions.

Dave and Lou cannot belive what is going on - just found out House of Soul gone - we need to know what and who is going to play in modern room - why is it always us that suffer. We need to come together and if need be try and get a refund Les and I have paid £300 as only had chalets sleeping 4. Not amused at all Spk soon sue and les x

Believe Fay Jones may be able to help

thats the best news i have heard in connection with this event
