if your looking for a decent pint in blackpool youre not spoiled for choice, the best place we found is at the back of the police station, I think its called the something and truncheon, anyhow there is 4-5 real ales on and the place is civillised, well for blackpool it is.

Am very excited as it's my birthday so shall be celebrating in style! This time we're staying near the venue so shall be able to venture out in the daytime. Last time our hotel was a bit far out...maaan!

Soul Couple have been to all the previous Tower Weekenders and they never disappoint! shame that the Pier is not open this year as this much smaller extra event was a real bonus in previous years.

kev - on the Friday can you get through from the lounge to the ballroom direct? ie the ballroom opens at 9pm but the lounge is already open!!!!

Looking for Soul Mates . . . . .

After looking forward to Blackpool for a whole year, having had an amazing time last year, and bought the tickets months ago, my man has decided he's not coming! (I hate him now and we're not talking...)

I am determined that I am coming even if it means coming on my own, so am looking for anyone who might want to meet up with me so I don't spend the whole weekend completely alone! I currently live near Northampton but am originally from Sheffield. I'm a young-at-heart 53 year old who can still dance like I'm 17. Spent my youth at soul nites at Blackpool Mecca, Nottingham Palais, The Heartbeat in Sheffield, The Birdcage in Elsecar and made it to Wigan Casino just the once. I just want to dance! Anyone out there want to take pity on a poor old soul bird, let me know.

This also means I have a spare ticket to sell

You can get from the Lounge to the Ballroom easily. Lounge will be playing Underplayed Classics 4-10, before Modern kicks in. We transfer upstairs to the Ballroom for the Friday night Oldies session.

Don't forget we are longer with a Sunday afternoon session too.
