I agree with your taste & comments Chalky. Definately rarity over quality IMO also. I have noticed over the years that this seller always achieves top end prices for whatever they are selling. Full marks for their excellent ebay sales presentation...this obviously works.

These for me hit the spot - USOS - Totally superb top music everytime - Well done Kev, Martyn, Sharon and all guests for such a fantastic 2009. Disciples of Soul - Pure Quality - John, Lou, Woody and guests take a bow..( Good luck with the new venue 2010). Coppertops - This venue achieves the impossible - A successful "across the board" music policy., Don,John, Rob, Steve you are the Wizards of Soul. Lifeline - Top Nighter, Top DJ's playing nighter tunes par excellence - Andy, Butch, Chalky, Cliff, Mick, Sam and all guests...could it get any better. I wish you all a ....A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR...

IT'S BURNT THE RUBBER OF MY ZIMMER FRAME

Some excellent points above from billysbag... My original objective for this post was to ascertain what shape Prestatyn 2010 will take and of course to bring to the organisers attention the unfair split of the Main Arenas. The lack of any replies explaining the reasoning behind this very unfair split leads us to draw conclusions .. ....that 2010 will indeed be exactly the same as 2009.. If so we now know that we will get 7 hours of Arena facilities in the entire weekender.. ....7 hours out of 120 total Arena hours??? The lack of any explanation shown to all who have read and are reading this dabate from the organisers shows an astounding non caring attitude, when you think all we are asking is why its so unfair. The lack of respect also to Carl and Maria Willingham and the top soul DJ's in the Country giving them a tent to play their tunes in whilst main Arenas are and could easy be made available ...quite beggers belief.....What I wonder will it be in 2011 ...a shed!!! Still not to late organisres to offer us some sort of explanation......... Otherwise....If you like anything other then Oldies or Modern...bring a folding chair...preferably with your name on it cause it will be filled by the time you've got back from the nearest decent bar. Don't bother bringing your dancin shoes...theres no where to dance or the little floor in the tent is total pants. etc etc as previously detailed... So choices to be made about Prestatyn 2010 are now yours dear reader.....

I would say this was the bargain of the year...always very hard to get usually £500+

Thanks for your comments so far ...please keep em coming. Also thanks to all who have sent me personal messages of agreement, those who for obvious financial/political reasons would love to post but prefer not too. Quite astonished how many get a freebie at Pressy...don't blame them not wishing to jeopardise this. I would have thought it made sound business sense to keep the main Arena's refreshed thus keeping all the punters happy. Paying punters who have returned and will return year after year if their treated fairly. This topic was originally in the Events forum and I have attached below (in blue) the reply from ...hatman.. ................................................................. We would love to programme more different types of music but alas with 5 Arena's there is no other space available The Friday night in Arena 1 features DJs who play the rarer side of soul with the likes of Butch, Andy Dyson Redemption used to host 2 out and out oldies nights but last year we decided to go with Carl & Maria and this was very succesful Hence the Main arena reverted to a more oldies oriented scene as we had taken the 2nd all nighter out of Redemption We will try to adapt the room to cut down sound migration more this year The main arena on Saturday this year is being given to the guys from the Twisted Wheel Manchester as the idea for Saturday afternoons was always to involve venues around the country to show what you can expect if you go there. I have been doing this long enough to know you can't please all of the people all of the time but all we can do is to keep trying I am well aware of the constant snipes by some on this forum who have their own agenda's (hence I have never replied) but I have taken the above couple of posts as constructive critisism and it has given me something to ponder over There are more specialised weekenders for lovers of rare soul the best probably being Lifeline and well worth a visit There are also many weekenders that don't have so many sessions to fill including no 24 hour radio There are weekenders that have better weather I could go on but don't want to bore you guys anymore For those of you who are coming we have some great live acts as well ................................................................. Adapting the tent still makes it a tent...with a crap dance floor and bar. No mention of bringing back the big tunes or integrating Carl & Maria night in the Main Arenas ..although as quoted "it was very successful".. How I wonder are our opinions & constructive suggestions ..."having a snipe".. Lots of reference to other weekenders...are you telling us where to go ? .. If so why ?... We all loved Prestatyns original Arena music policy and we want it to be a big success again ...playing all the wonderous tunes we all love, adore and pay good money to hear ....whatever musical gendre. Prestatyns still 4 months away... plenty of time to make a few phone calls/conversations to the Worlds top DJ's who are already booked for the large Arenas to request they bring their now playbox and not their oldies playbox ...just for a couple of sessions... A fair split of the Arenas.....I don't think thats too much to ask.... I agree with your requests.... it would be good to have some YES or NO feedback on this debate from the promoters ...

FIRST POSTED IN EVENTS BUT MAYBE ITS BETTER POSTED HERE.... MARCH PRESTATYN A SUPERB WEEKENDER BUT...... A FAIR SPLIT OF THE ROOMS EH?? Hi All, Like most we need to start booking next years holidays from work. We never miss March Prestatyn but after last year we have to question whether to give this a miss for the very first time... Answers to a few very important questions will help our decision. 1. Will next year 2010 be a repeat of the totally unfair musical division of the quality rooms? Namely vinyl played in....Arena 1 Oldies... &.. Arena 2 Modern.... Whilst all other soul gendre was crammed in either The Queen Vic Pub or Tents....(either no seats, or little or no dance floor) day & night??? Redemption played great music but you could hardly hear it due to the boom boom boom from next door (and vice versa), a crap dance floor, nowhere to sit, stifling heat, very uncomfotable etc etc.. 2. Why was last years Arena1 so Oldies orientated? When all previous years Arena 1 welcomed The World's top DJ's who played awesome cutting edge music to a rammed packed appreciative audience & dance floor... Last year 2009... Arena1 was to be honest an Oldies Fest' ... 3. To hear any cutting edge top tunes from the UK's top DJ's we had to frequent The Queen Vic for the whole weekend? Carl & Maria Willingham's night a rammed packed 12 solid hours in a tent?? This excellent music should be as previous years integrated with all the top DJ's and should be played in Arena 1 ...OR ...Arena 2... NOT The Queen Vic or The Redemption Tent!! 4.Why should Arena 2 always be devoted to Modern??? Understandably this room should be dedicated on live artist nights but why the entire weekend? On many occasions 2008 & 2009 Arena 2 was very low in attendance whilst we are crammed in a no dance floor or a no seat tiny room or tent??? ........................................................................................................... THE THING IS IT WASN'T ALWAYS LIKE THIS ?? ....WHY SHOULD IT REMAIN LIKE IT??? TOP INDEMAND CUTTING EDGE TUNES ALWAYS USED TO BE PLAYED (INTEGRATED) INTO THE MAIN ARENA 1 MUSIC POLICY?? A constructive Arena 1 for 2010 (IMHO) would be - Thursday arrival evening session - Musical Mixture Top tune Floorfiller Oldies - 8.00 am...welcome to the weekend type tunes Friday afternoon - Dj's play time- whatever DJ's want to play... Friday evening - Oldies 8-12, Then Cutting edge Rare Lifeline indemanders 12 - 8.00am. Saturday afternoon - Dj's play time - whatever they want to play... Saturday evening - Live Acts - then Oldies till 2, Cutting edge Rare including Carl & Maria Night 2 - 8.00am. Sunday afternoon - Dj's play time... whatever DJ's like... till 8pm.. Sunday evening - Party night Oldies / Big tune Floorfillers- Good bye campers till close... PLUS ... A fair division of the use of Arena 2.... I cannot continually see why this has to be dedicated to the Modern fraternity for the ENTIRE WEEKEND? Sharing the main rooms gives everyone a chance to enjoy their facilities, listening to their personal musical taste, have a good dance, have a sit down and listen in comfort etc etc.The main Arena rooms 1 & Arena 2 should have a fair to all musical policy split....WE ALL PAY THE SAME MONEY?? Please let's not turn this into an Oldies Vs Rare Vs Modern topic. This is a fair split of rooms topic & I would appreciate everyone's opinions on this.. I think these very important points want airing NOW...so we all know where we stand..... Many of us need to book in advance.... Should we book this time off? We all need to plan & to budget ahead & lets face it we could all spend the dosh on a holiday in the sun OR on a different weekender??...

FANTASTIC NU TYMES, great tune Mark, sound bite below...hope it works.. https://www.thesoulgi...eave%20Me%29.rm

Many Thanks, Hopefully adding to the already overweight postmans delivery next week, nice tune Billyboy.

Agreed... Always been a case of rarity value over tunage....definately the decimal point in the wrong place for me..
