I told you it would be brilliant!!!!!!
I really loved the weekend, as did my wife and kids and we will definitely be returning should Vintage be on again next year!
I had a record stall right opposite the Soul Casino, and i must have heard most sets played from first thing Friday to last thing Sunday. I got some footfall from folks going in and out of the venue too! I also had to answer the same question many times over the weekend of 'What's this playing mate?' Good job i'm a know-it-all! Got me a few sales though LOL
Soul wise the acts were superb and many of the DJ's in the Soul Casino did the business. The Soul Casino was a revelation and i think the queue to DJ in there next year from everyone and their dog will have already begun LOL
Ann Sexton was sublime, worth going just for that! She was amazing and what a lovely woman too!
Leroy Hutson was excellent (Hobbsy if you're reading this, you owe me a pint, as it was 1989 the last time he was here! Good luck with the interview with the great man this week too!)
And just how good was Joe Bataan? Bloody brilliant he was! I'm still aching now from dancing to him for 90 minutes solid!
Three acts all on the Soul Stage that i will remember for many a long year!
There was tons of other stuff going on but i'll keep it to that for now!
Congratulations once again to all the Goodwood team and here's to 2011
Cheers
