run out groove 19 Posted November 1, 2016 Hello people, Friday's coming at us pretty fast. The Hollingwood is ready to go once again, with the backing of Pete the new Landlord (who incidentally used to be the landlord when the soul night's where active in the late 90ts early 2000s) Beer prices are cheap on selected beers and lagers! Important to some people I decline to mention.Also a larger car park than used to years ago. Talc is allowed but please use sparingly. The soulnite is in the Ballroom UPSTAIRS, just follow the sound. Event starts at 8.00pm with local long time soulies and friends Andy Cole and Sav De Vergori double decking the 1st hour playing a mix of tunes. Then myself Mark, playing from 9.00pm for an hour. Followed by our guest DJ the gentleman himself Mr. PETE TAYLOR. Really so happy to have have the man who's run successful soulnites at both Annesley and currently North Wingfield ( if you've not been yet, GO, you won't be disappointed) I digress, sorry, yes Pete Taylor, some great sounds guaranteed from a much respected DJ. To finish off the night will be fellow promoter Graham Manlove who's brother's Dave and Keith originally started up this venue in the early/mid ninties, when Northern Soul events where scarce running them right up till 2002 so continuing the long association with the Hollingwood. Hoping to see many friends old and new, come give us a try. IT'LL BE ORATE. Thank you for taking the time to read my rambling's See you all Friday!! Link to comment
