Hi Rob,
Just to let you know how fantastic the Brid Soul Weekender was,
we had a brilliant weekend.
The music, atmosphere and people were fantastic, cant wait,
for 2011, it was one of the best weekends i have had in a long time.
And the event was a credit to every one who organised it.
Well done to you all.

first time @ 'bridd' for me and netty, wondered what all the fuss was about.
only managed to get there for the saturday due to work committments.
took longer to find a parking space than to drive up from skegg but when we got there found out 'tats' and hamsey were doing a just soul two-hour set in the 'club' room.....bonus!
the only problem with this was i knew (musically at least) the rest of the day would be 'down-hill'.
but, music aside, far from it, the five 'genre' rooms served bespoked soul and dance for each of the diverse taste 'groups' on this scene of ours.
if one was a bit 'tired' of one type then it was only a small walk to find another 'type' of soul to satisfy one's needs.
the main room a positive cathedral of latter years dedicated to the celebration of northern soul itself.
thought john vincent and pete taylor stole it for me sat evening, a lot of the tunes were predictable but none-the-less appropriate for the massive throng of appreciators of northern soul that had gathered to pay homage.
dee-jays playing to the floor, as it should be with the 'floor' reacting with both energy and passion.
the 'club' room, a chameleon changing styles as each 'club' representative took his or her turn, great adverts for those clubs and great variety in a room so small but packed with so much atmosphere.
the magic of my first bridlington was summed up while in the 'rare' room, dancing to Mick & Mo's selection of soul (as topper top draw as one could wish to open) while looking through the large window and watching the full moon rising over the sea, made one think of ancient times when people celebrated this event with beats and dance before the word 'moon' had ever been uttered (or any word for that matter).
a fantastic day, well done promoters, even the 'security' staff were so well mannered and efficient, nothing over-looked by you guys to make our experience so very, very good in deed.
just might try and make more than one day next year now we've found out just what all the fuss is actually about.

Virgin??? Its my first weekender at 53 now thats some virgin ha ha. Mixed up as a kid loved glam rock but bought all the two tone trousers Ben Sherman Shirts and Harrington Jackets. Its Motown thats ace but Northern Soul puts the Shiver down your neck and the tingle down your spine, looking foward to the weekender soon not to be a Virgin.
