The Embankment Club Wellingboro

[Guest]

So after 15years in total the Emankment Club Wellingboro is holding its last Soulnight on April 06th, as Lenny explains in his letter on the news page, for various reasons...an end to a era! i am sure that over the years the thousands of people that have graced the place, must have some great memories or stories to tell ?....be interesting to hear them and any other comments

There is a silver lining to every tale as Lenny is joining us to help run the new Silk venue in Wellingboro. first one 27th Jan, He will also be one of the resident DJs...hope we can achieve a fraction of the success he has...good luck Len

Shame that this is finishing, had some good nights there. As we've seen already this week though, all good things do come to an end.

Congrats to Len & Nina for keeping it going for so long. Hope to make it up there for the last one and that it's a 'packer', as it deserves to be.

such a shame , things always move on though on the soul scene.

it,s only nowadays that people seem to have all this dewy eyed nostalgia for venues.

remember the torch shutting and never gave it a second thought, same with wigin, that was only any good first two years max anyway.

lenny,s right though to many handbag do,s that have nothing to do with the scene about are the main reason for this.so it will find a level sure as eggs are eggs and good do,s will survive, sadly though all up north and londonwith the exception of luton and hammies do. nothing left in good old w,boro.

the dog and duck , nags head and finally the embankment r.i.p

Think you will find that the presence of other dos, wether they be "handbag" or not , is only part of the reason Len has decided to call it a day, i am sure Lenny has lost some custom because of this but they were probably the people who didnt apprieciate what he was trying to achieve there...and as He states, its not all about packing the floor each night,but as much to do with the music quality he was trying to achieve for the venue.

I am sure along with others you will also understand the pressures he was under from the new managment and the changes they had made to the room plus their unreasonable attitude...all these things played as much of a part as the numbers issue....in my opinion and if i am wrong please correct me Len ,if there wasnt a problem with the managment i dont think He would have found the decision he made so easy and would more than likely be carrying on...as i say these are just my thoughts i am not speaking for Him directly.

No decent dos left in Wellingborough...do i take it that you either forgot or dont support the idea of the new Rare Soul night at Silk that I(along with Lens support) am presently promoting?...regards Jem
