True Soul: The Scottish Weekender

True Soul:  The Scottish Weekender magazine cover

The Weekender evolved from an idea of an across the board one room event for like minded soul music fans in a great setting and venue listening and dancing to some cool tunes and generally having a good time.

So we sourced the venue and passed the word around what we were planning...keeping our ears to the ground and listening to folks regarding which DJS they would like to play for them so after numerous phone calls and loads of chit chat we launched the True Soul event. We now have news warm you up and get you in the mood for the Summer of 2013 ....Right on... and that's the "True Soul Weekender" now launched and ready to go. Doors are now open to all you Brothers and Sisters who fancy a great weekend of fun and soul music in what can only be described as Scotland's Jewel in the crown "The Peebles Hydro Hotel".

We give you 2 nights of hot Upfront Soul music played by a cracking line up of DJs at The Peebles Hydro Ballroom....come along and enjoy!!!

The dates for the Weekender are Friday & Saturday the 30th & 31st of August 2013.

Music policy is complete across the board up front dance soul music 60’s up to the current date.

Venue: Peebles Hydro Ballroom....

Saturday afternoon 12 noon until 5pm:

“Hello is that Ruff Cutt? Is Scotland On?”

Once upon a time in the Wild Wild West (Scotland not the USofA that is) there was a bunch of outlaws lead by one Jim O’Hara, a real Desperate Dan type character, together with his outlaws they became known as the Ruff Cutt Gang. Now these scallys have escaped the lock ups and institutions that housed them and they are back for another hoedown, bringing you an afternoon of music and mayhem in tribute to One of the Scotland’s and the UK’s finest Rare Soul Clubs,

"The Allanton (Shotts) Allnighters" aka "The Ruff Cut Soul Club".

I'll be having some of this. Event of the year in my book, and an Allenton reunion too. Let's hope it's not as messy as backstage was at 'Shotts'.

I have telephoned the Peebles Hydro Hotel but can only get an answer machine. I will keep trying. A standard double room with B&B, evening meal x 2 for 2nights for two people is £460. Have I got it right that the offer is half the hotel's normal price for this weekend?

Please advise.

Regards.

Drew.

Not familiar with all the accronyms, got myself confused initially thinking the "D" meant "double" ;-)

 

But it's actually really great value for this grand spa hotel at £150 per person for two nights with DBB (Dinner, bed & breakfast) or £120 per person for 2 nights with B&B (bed & breakfast)... with detox facilities (pool, jacuzzi, sauna) thrown in for the party crowd or a banquet of sporty facilities available for the seriously mad. 

Let those fingers do some walking and book before you blow it on something silly!
