mirja, nice posting. I never want to spread false rumours about your event. That`s the reason why I don`t write DJ X and live Act Y cancelled the Baltic Soul Weekender. I just asked a few questions, because I`d heard from four different friends that a few artists from the lineup will not come to the Weekender. ...and I`d never seriously tried to order any tickets, because I`d thought I have to work over the Weekender days. I got an email from one of your office girls a few weeks ago with an invitation for the event. It was obvious that this girl made a mistake, because I`d never ever contact you about any tickets. I`d asked her via email about winning into a newspaper competetion. It was just a joke. After her nice answer I know what I`d known before...I`m not winning anything. As a second joke I`d asked her about some free tickets, because I`m workless in the moment and my girlfiend is a strong smoker...so I can`t afford it. Don`t take me to serious...maybe my humour is a little too sick for this office girl. I`d no more contact to any of yours until these days. Meanwhile something changed at work..so I`ll have a free weekend and I thought to come with a friend for the saturday night. So I like to know what is expecting me at the coast. That`s all. Think it`s much easier to talk eye to eye but it`s a problem when you and Daniel haven`t been seen at any Soul event into the last 3 years. And I personally prefer other clubs then the posh ones Daniel DJ`ed regulary so it`s not easy to meet each other. So maybe we can talk about all this nonsens at the Hamburg Soul Weekender later this year. I set you and Daniel on the guest list.

to soulgirl: the punk royal room is long gone. marc forrest will sleep there with his girlfriend...by the way...dave rimmer will sleep in the erich honnecker room and john weston with angie in the honeymoon suite. don`t have a clue what they have for dave thorley and malayka.... to reg: you can book cheap flights from manchester with airberlin directly to hamburg-fuhlsb¼ttel airport (30 min by shuttle bus to St.Pauli/Mandarin Casino) or from london-stansted to hamburg-l¼beck with ryanair (l¼beck is around 60 miles away from hamburg...but there are shuttle busses from l¼beck airport to hamburg as well)

thanks rob and karen

hello soulgirl, dave rimmer, john weston, dave thorley, malayka erpen and marc forrest will stay in the Kogge Hotel. you can find a link on our website (www.loveshake-music.com/weekender) ralf

mirjia, is it true that: - a few of the DJs cancelled the Baltic Soul Weekender (especially a few from the Northern room)? - a few of the life acts will not play (heard Roy Ayers booking agency cancelled it ...and there`s another life act who will not come as well)? PLEASE GIVE US THE REAL LINEUP. THIS MUST BE POSSIBLE HALF A WEEK BEFORE THE EVENT. Thought about to come over to the Weekender for a night...but not for some electronical/house music DJs. Ralf

DOUBLE-TROUBLE (Hamburg Soul Weekender/05. - 07. october 2007) Sorry...but... I`d posted the following link on the events section before...but it fits in this thread so well... www.loveshake-music.com/weekender Most of the big Weekenders in Germany (Frankfurt, N¼rnberg, Bamberg) are located down south. It`s a pain for us northerners to travel a few times a year so far (even if we love every minute soooo much)...so we thought about giving it a go up north. The venue we have booked for october is one of the most established dancehalls in Germany. The Mandarin Casino (Ex-Mojo Club) has been visited by so many DJ`s (Butch, Keb Darge, Adey Croasdell to name a few) over the years... The venue can hold approx 800 peoples (one big dancefloor for 6ts Soul, a smaller one for Modern Soul and a really big bar area to relax) and is located directly on the Reeperbahn. There are hundreds of clubs, restaurants, hotels, bars....(and for the lonesome traveller hundreds of strip bars, table dance clubs and and and.... you know what I mean) near by. We`ll try to be as good hosts as our friends from the south each year. If you ask for playlists...look through the lists of DJs like John Weston, Dave Rimmer, Dave Thorley, Lars Bulnheim, Stefan Kubernus, Marc Forrest ond so on in this forum...this is what is expecting you...no overplayed Oldies in sight. There are a few trendy quarters near by for shopping and if you`re into football...you can see the FC St.Pauli stadium from the venue. Hamburg is the City with the most bridges in Germany. You will see a few of them if you come with us on board on the MS Hedi ship on sunday 07.10.2007 to enjoy the fantastic harbour while the DJs from the Weekender will give you another dose of their sounds. C U Ralf

i think every collector or seller can tell us stories about lost money or records. ...once i`d sent a lot of money to a u.s. based dealer and just 20% of my hard earned arrived at him...why the thief didn`t took all...i don`t know... ...and i`d ordered a few sales tapes from a well known u.k. dealer in the late 80`s...i`d paid...the tapes arrived at my postbox...but there was not a single song on the tapes. send them back to him...and didn`t get a refund until now things like that will happen again and again, especially for the regular collectors/sellers. all i can say is that i know lars for years. here`s here for the music...not for the money. and if he want to ripp off some u.k. collector...he will send him an parcel without the magnetics on bonnie...not a 50 quid record. i never had any trouble when dealin with him. over here he`s a well respected dj and collector/seller. it would be nice not to damage someones reputation...after he gave full refunds for lost items. calm down....no new simon soussan in sight ralf
