2011-01-22: Burnley Allnighter, The Kestral Suite

Perfect!!!!!!!! What I've needed for a while. Wonderful crowd with a music policy that is now legendary!!!

Curtis Mayfield - Pusherman

Sam Ward - Sister Lee (long time no hear at a niter, reminded me of my younger years on the scene)

Charles Johnson - You made a mistake

Showstoppers - Ain't nothing but a house party

How eclectic are that four alone. The floor packed from 10pm onwards. Bat cave well and truly up and running again. Thanks Shorny and Karl. Top job guys.

PS: I'm not "still" talking shit - I'm being informative. Thanks to the Manc and Rugger girls for the cards and pressie

Lovely to see you back on form...

I can't describe what a brilliant nite I had coz words just aren't good enuf big thanks from one happy lady...

Sorry to those who I talked to death but the dance floor was too full to let off steam, so you all got it...especially Dave Rimmer, who is always so patient with me...

You should be wearing steel toe capped boots Karen

Like anywhere you go, not all the music was to my taste but that matters not. The place was rocking and the dance floor rammed from start to finish - and I mean start to finish.

I have not been to a nighter like that for many years.

I'll throw in some flagellation as well, for good measure

WOW......WHAT A GREAT NIGHT.

It`s already been summed up nicely.

Everything came together in one big melting pot of soul music......and it worked.:thumbsup:That the words i was looking for :thumbsup:billy

Neil.

Sean & Danny.......Thank`s for the records.

The Burnley nighter was the place to be last night .

The atmosphere just kept on growing throughout the night . It was difficult to find a space on the dance floor , tune , tune ,tune

Welldone all involved ,

Cheers Billy for the lift 4.5 hours each way , phew !

All the best frank .

Willie , enjoyed your set , can you list your play list please (album tracks ) thanks Again...

What a night, ain't enjoyed myself that much in a long time - By the people for the people.

Loads of records I've never heard, but done in such a way that everyone just kept on going!

Best keep it short as I've just got a knife and fork out to eat some Wheatabix so probably won't make much sense - Sign of a good night I recon!

Well done to all involved.

Over 'n' out.

Hate to heap insult on injury lesbian features, but you're gonna need a hair shirt too It was a blinder.

Packer from start to finish, great mix of uptempo tunes, atmosphere buzzing, dancing like sardines (except Simon who I like to think of as the 'soul tuna' amongst us), friendly accommodating bar staff, birthday boys & girls suitably spoilt, old friends coming out of the woodwork, new friends absolutely charming, and wall to wall crumpet*.

*OK, so I lied about that bit.

Happy birthdays to Stevie Sawdust, Angie Lawrence (who looked amazing) and the lovely Sonia who we refuse to believe is actually 50. Woody I think you escaped a birthday snog from me - be afraid, be very afraid I apologise to everyone I spoke complete arse & parsley to - but in the talking bollocks Olympics, Kev H you definitely steal the gold. For future reference Kev, no I don't think the baked potato thread is a good idea, and I have no desire to discuss what sort of filling I prefer. Pervert, lol.

I took a million pictures, but I'm just in Photoshop applying the red eye reduction, checked shirt filter, shiny pate suppressor, Diddy & Willie resizer, gurn rectifier & sequin glare minimiser. I may be some time.

A fine job overall done by that DJ chap that looks like a young Yul Brynner, and Sean 'I was hardly nervous at all about the whole thing' Haydon. The only criticisms I would make were that there wasn't enough room, there was no Babycham on draught, and the ladies toilets need to be less like Stalag 17 to escape from. At least the first of those is a problem of success, so pat yourselves on the back and apply to Burnley Council for planning permission to extend.

I'll leave you with the quote of the night from a young male member of bar staff chatting outside... "Have you seen all the old folks in there? They're bang on one having a brilliant time. By heck I hope I'm like that when I get to 70 too!"

AS FOR THE CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT WHO WILL ROME IN SEARCH OF A PLACE WHERE THEY CAN COME TOGETHER AS ONE AND GRACE THE DANCE FLOOR WITH THEIR PRESENCE. FOR THOSE IN SEARCH OF SOUL-FULL SOUNDS ,THAT ARE OLD AND RARE, NOW BECOMING THE CUTTING EDGE OF DANCE MUSIC TO FILL THE NIGHT AIR .

HAVE FAITH FOR WE ARE MASTERS OF OUR OWN DESTINY .

And so it come to pass what a night. Thank you Sean & Karl and all behind the scenes.

CLASS

Great night - was I there?

Hate to heap insult on injury lesbian features, but you're gonna need a hair shirt too It was a blinder.

Carry on like that and I'll start thinking you fancy me!

WELL WHAT CAN I SAY !!!!!, What a class night from start till i went home, music was top class and cant fault the night in any way, well done to my best mate and soul brother Sean and Karl.......credit where credits due

As has already been said ... unbelievable turn out! Full of proper nighter goers and loads of lovely folk who were great company all night.

Not everything was my bag musically but I didn't expect it to be; that's really not the point though and certainly isn't a gripe. I really enjoyed Stewart and Joan's spots in particular but heard plenty of good dance tackle over the course of the night. Much more importantly, people came from all over the country and the floor was rammed all night which has got to be the ultimate measure of how good or not a nighter is hasn't it? Horses n courses n all that; did what it said on the tin!

All I can say is that if you didn't have a good night out last night there's something wrong with you! Thoroughly enjoyed myself and finished-up staying until the end when I had intended to be away by 3.

Thanks to all involved for all their hard work in making it happen. (Not just resurrected but back bigger and better than before if last night was anything to go by). Really chuffed for you lads!

See you at the next one, and the one after that, and ...

Mike Cog

That's ok Mike

It's all coming back to me now though, we were both dancing and you told me to watch out for the jump in the record.....but I thought you said 'watch Big Paul cause he's going to jump in a minute'.....so I watched Big Paul but he didnt jump

Also forgot to say thank you to Dave and Lou for the CD.....great photos of Kyle, mainly with a joint in his hand, they've made me smile.

its been a long time since I walked into a venue, that's only had the doors open for half an hour, to find it packed to the rafters

well done to Karl and Shorny, you pulled it off, great atmosphere, dance floor full, managed to queeze myself on it, for the 'Springers' though

Big thanks to Ted for taking us, I know he was very tired driving back, far too much time on Morrisons car park I think,

Me and woody really enjoyed it, Rosemary I never saw you? but it was so full, impossible to see everyone, but hey ho, once again concratulations for doing something thats close to your heart's

Hi

I saw Woody but dont think he recognised me but I didnt see you...... like you said Lou it was so busy.

Rosemary I never saw you? but it was so full, impossible to see everyone,

Funny you should say that because I can miss people in an empty room with my bad eyesight but it's took looking at the fotos to see loads of people I didn't realise were there...

Well, what can I say?

These look back posts are fantastic. They epitomize exactly what the Burnley Nighter is about. Great People, Great music, having a Great time!

Despite a few teething problems, which will be addressed for the next one, we couldn't have wished for better.

Your very expressive posts say it all but I'd like to thank all those involved for making it work:

Dusty, Gary, Neil for your assistance with the equipment, Gary & Linda for the thankless task on the door (excellent job). Chris Waterman for the wristbands and going out the way to meet me.

Our Brilliant, Passionate DJ's, Joan, Willie, Danny, Stuart, Cliff and Fred for their musically perfect sets (spot on!). Kate and Jayne for standing by us xx.

Above all, Phil Kowalski for creating something special in the first place.

Fantastic to see so many people in attendance, taking the time and trouble to travel so far to join us on our first night. Making it a very special night.

Thank you all so much,

Sean

p.s. And Mike Cog for suggesting it to me

You all did a great job mate, keep up the good work, roll on the next one

Still buzzin from the night and my birthday morning flashback is of how good that old Dome favourite Kelly Brothers sounded

I think you mean the Scott Bros they all came back i did hear that will cost you £25

scott brothers - ztbc - soul-tbc

not it lad, cheers for post

For once I can't think of anything to say,it's all been said,so I'll shut up.

Take care,be safe & remember,"Ho,ho,ho it's magic you know,never believe it's not so,it's magic you know,never believe it's not so",

Spot.

It was truely a fantastic, memorable niter. Well done Karl and Sean

thanks to Sian and Dean and all the window lickers for the laughs (and Adam for Friday). A great weeknd (Val that record is fantastic)

Really had a great time....I cant remember the last time i enjoyed myself that night at a niter. The tunes were great particularly enjoyed Sean's & Karls set. Karl just seems to gage it perfectly everytime, the right tunes at the right time, there's definitely an art to dj-ing. It's great to hear so many new tunes . The only down point was there was loads of people there i didn't manage to catch up with.....

see you all this weekend at Radcliffe for Mr Cato's 50th Birthday celebrations
