Guest Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 but it does have a niter on the sat with the soultown djs . Ah, didn't know that, I haven't looked at the detail for ages. Soultown weren't involved last time I went, it was still a 2 roomer then. 2006 or 07 I think. Jayne. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Never been to one. Perhaps it's just me, but can't see the attraction. Tony Perhaps it is just you Tony. I prefer them, atmosphere that you just rarely get at a one night event. I just wish I had more money and I'd probably be able to do a weekender every week!.

barney Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 (edited) some of this has been said , but it all depends on why you go and what you want from a w/ender to see friends you dont often see and or meet new ones to get away for a break to hear different/ new sounds to be somewhere different where you wouldnt normally go if it werent for the music also on what criteria do you judge a w/ender accomodation the place/resort who,s dj,ing the venue the music the cost and last but not least the people who attend some or all of the above are personal choices maybe there should be some way these can be assesed and to give an overall picture of any w/ender. take my 3 choices 1 isle of wight not a soul w/ender but there are plenty of venues on the island playin n/soul the place is brill and its scooter heaven if I could only do 1 w/ender it would be this 2 bridlington easily the best venue ,all our friends go and the music is brill the fish an chips are spot on and we love the resort 3 skegness butlins the start of the year for us its not an exclusive n/soul w/end but the crazy horses is a brill venue .there are some good live acts the accomodation is good .loads of people we dont normally see go and its somewhere we can happily take our none soulie friends still do other w/ends and done others but we cant do them all we also do soul in the sun and this year going to kefalonia with all our friends for sharon and bernies wedding with a n/soul theme for a fortnight Edited May 7, 2009 by barney Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest stash313 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Highlights for me include the Blackpool and Birmingham Hilton Luxury Soul Weekenders now upto LS 13 with the Birmingham Hilton coming up in a couple of weeks time. Richard, Ralph and the Hilton team have really hit a niche with the Modern Soul market at these weekenders. Three days and nights of luxury with four rooms of the best in across the board Soul music. Both weekends feature some of the highest calibre of acts around and the cream of the UK's Modern Soul DJ's. Personally the new year event in Blackpool is my favourite whilst Birmingham also gets an honoury mention for pushing forward the boundaries of 'Nu' Soul music. Both events are essential and upto now I've only missed the first two and I don't intend on increasing those numbers. Away from The Hilton weekenders, out of the current crop of European weekenders including the now defunct 'Uptight Weekender' in Frankfurt and the annual Village Soul Italia, in Cortevecchia, Tuscany rate highly. Back in the UK Cleethorpes is always a good laugh whilst Prestatyn always delivers. Not to forget the recent Soulvation weekend in Newquay. Plenty to go at. My advice try them all and then admit yourself to hospital. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
