This was only our second saturday after two years of fridays and this weekend we had regulars away at other nites in cardiff,bridgwater,london and stoke so we werent to optimistic about crowd numbers ...at least of the real soulful kind.So things were looking by 10pm when we already had a couple of dozen early birds including some teenage mods complete with suit,fred perry,desert boots and 'mods' tatoo on the inside of his lip ! Over the next two hours the crowd grew to 80+ one of our best nights.A mix of soulies,scooterists,mods,vinyl collecters and bristol clubbers most of which had been before and are starting to request tunes from previous go go cds.The average age of the crowd was probably only 30.
Go Go regular Steve Conner kicked things of this month with a great set of northern and rnb including a track called 'welcome to the club' cant remember the artist but it had john seacing the net on his phone for a copy...great tune !
Ian Mccree carried on the same theme but adding some soulful british beat to the go go pot , after that the rest of the night was split into two sets each for myself,sean parry and john stapleton with me playing the last two couple of mellow 'enders' an hour past closing time at 3am after a 6 hour mix of northern,motown,rnb,latin,ska, soulful popcorn and british beat.
The landlord said he would consider a mini niter in the future till 4am if you kept drinkin ! with another special guest nite soon bristol could well be worth a visit..its a city where soul is growing
