SoulOn2Wheels

Well I ran a search through one of the internet hotel booking sites about 2 months ago and the Monarch came up with available rooms at £450ish for a couple for 3 nights. At the time I thought that really is cashing in. Needless to say I didn't book it.

The first time I heard The Hamilton Movement - Shes Gone, I thought the DJ said The Elephant Movement.

In our area (N Derbys/Notts/S Yorks) there are numerous nights to choose from all have their own music policies, generally you know what your going to get ie. go to one you know your going to get 100% oldies another more crossover/rare soul. What's really getting annoying is the inconsistency. You go to one night and its great, good music and well attended go the next month and there are only a handful in, miss a month and then you get reports that it was full!! Just don't know why sometimes. A good example was last night we went to Vault of Soul at the cube in Sheffield. Been a few times before and its been well attended, last night a handful in. Where was everybody? Despite this, still was a great night though. Someone has commented about the logic of having something every month and I think there is a good case here. Take somewhere like the Empress Ballrooms in Mexborough where its only Bank Holiday Sundays, always packed and a fantastic night.

Opposite for me, didn't like it when I first heard it, but now its grown on me. I'm recently back on the scene in the last 18 months after a 25 odd year break, so I have a lot of catching up to do. There is so much stuff being played that I either can't remember or haven't heard before. Its like being born again

Cheers

I heard Sam play something recently which I think was by "The Mighty Elipse" or thats what I thought he said, my hearing is crap. Its quite funky lots of trumpets in it. Anybody know what i'm on about?
