Look forward to this, went to your previous venue and what a great crowd, I know lots of them from Burnleys lost souls which is a big Yorkshire day, always seem to get on well with White Rose, 28 years ago I did Soul@the Ooze in Barnoldswick which had a predominantly Yorkshire following. Had great times working over the border with Ginger at Brighouse, Gary at Okeh soul, Steve Burke, Julian, does up at the Engine Shed with Tony Banks, recently Hull city soul with Daryl and Steve Oxburgh. A niter in Leeds at the Hi Fi club, Lawrence and Jools in Bradford, Black Horse Skipton with Chris Sayce and Guy Hennigan, I'm feeling quite Yorkshire writing all that, anyway I'll be there with enthusiasm for Ade, with my humble collection of oddities. Roman.
Wow, 27 years of Xmas soul at the fabulous Colne Municipal, recently refurbed beautifully. Three sided working balcony, new in house sound system, large ballroom, separate large bar area. Djs from that first ever event Ginger Taylor and Roman plus guests Steve Clayton.Richard Lodge and Benidorm Huntsville and Burnleys Billy Foster.
Classic soul with enthusiasm plus today's big sounds. Truly wonderful Christmas experience.
Christmas in Motown.
Well October was another extraordinary day at Greenhill, such as Dic Peabody, Purple Muni,Robert Tanner. Throw in Lady in Green, Job Opening and you can imagine the scenes.
This month we have a man right on top of his game Fred Benson plus Gibby and Andy Short
regulars Roman,David Ferguson,Richard Lodge, Wendy and Jill.
200 TKTS sold, historically therewasa 50/50 split between otd and ticket sales so it's possible it could be a lockout, I suppose people want to see the beautiful restoration work also.
A return to an old venue for me as Richard Lodge celebrated a birthday with a gathering of lovers of soulful seventies, xover, and a twist of modern. Rooms with breakfast £65 with breakfast (Doubles) quote soul, Haley.
Before refurb we had 3 events over the year of 350 each, I think the idea is to limit numbers for the first one, see how it goes. I will update ticket sales next week.
