Tent Music was a term created after the crossover sessions at the Cala Gran, Fleetwood weekenders in about 2001 is the massive marquee attached to the side of the building.

 

What were the Ohio Players live like at the weekender in 1993?

The only time during 1987 to 89 we had chalets, was at Morecambe which were over run with horrid silverfish.

 

And ducks that never shut up.

 Yes but not the 80's! :-))

It actually changed fairly rapidly after 91 I would say, the year of some very soft House being booed in the soul room I would think.

Your first one was the first ever Southport, and the session was in the big hall at the swimming pool, near the radio station, where all the dodgy stay up all nighters gathered, Friday was Northern but with lots of bemused non Northern punters, and Saturday was Yogis everything in which was mental and brilliant, people bouncing off walls second night to the most eclectic mix of music imaginable.

I remember that one like it was yesterday, but can't actually remember yesterday!

 

It was Billy Davidson who got booed for playing this (I supplied Bill's music at the time :wink: ):

 

 

....although this is the wrong mix, can't find the 'House Mix' on  YT.

 

That same eventful year was when Colin Curtis played a 7"s set in a house stylee and Kev Edwards hilariously opened up with a filthy Ice T accapella, dropped the house lights then blew the stage up with some overly-heavy pyrotechnics setting fire to two girls blouses  :elvis:  - the whole venue froze and I fell off me chair laughing. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

But then who ventured into the soul room after 1991 or even 1992 ? Let alone re attend  this weekender after 1994. The national club scene was better respected - IMHO !!
