Newsletter Issue 45: February 2009

A belated happy new year and welcome to this, the last ever 99 Soul Club newsletter. May we first of all thank everyone who attended the Soul Splash in November, a night which has been very well received judging by many comments we have received. Thanks also to those who helped market the event across the country and in Scarborough itself ensuring we had our biggest ever turnout.

As some of you may already know we have decided to bring the 99 Soul Club to a close after 10 fantastic years. Suffice there are several reasons for the decision which collectively lead us to believe this is the appropriate time to call it a day. Whether we promote “one-off” events in the future remains to be seen but there are none planned for this year and the 99 Soul Club name will not feature in any future promotions.

The 99 Soul Club journey started back on Saturday 13th February 1999 on the North Bay at The Corner a venue which holds many fond memories. There followed a brief interlude in the town centre at The Grand (frankly a less memorable venue) and will now end on the South bay at the magnificent Scarborough Spa Complex. We hope to bow out in style with a 10th Anniversary celebration, SOUL SPLASH 2 which will be held in the Spa Ocean Room on Saturday 18th July (7pm to 2am). Just to clarify this is the larger of the two rooms used at the first Soul Splash and with a capacity of 600 it will provide a great setting for our farewell event.

Our guests for this event have all been supporters of ours over the years as DJ’s, punters, or both. Kev Bainbridge who was on our very first roster back in February 1999, Mike Charlton one of those behind the successful inaugural Soul Splash last year, the ever popular Mort who is hanging up his records on the night and is deserving of a great send off. In addition two of Yorkshire’s finest in Yocky and Graham Slater. Last but not least, Jinx a real stalwart of the Scarborough soul scene.

Advanced tickets are £6. For locals they are on sale from the Spa Box Office, the Tourist Information centre in the Brunswick Centre in Scarborough or from The Beat Club events held at the Corporation Club on Dean Road in Scarborough (see dates below or contact askbeatclub@yahoo.com). Tickets will also be available on the night for £8 subject to capacity but please note there is no admission after midnight. For those outside the town, please refer ticket requests and other enquiries to the contact numbers below.

Finally sincere thanks to everyone for attending our events and to those who have helped us behind the scenes especially Mick’s good lady Lynne a vital cog in the wheel for the last 10 years!!

ANNOUNCEMENT on behalf of 99 Soul Club

On behalf of the Promoters thanks to all who attended the Soul Splash – we hope you enjoyed the event as much as we did. Thanks also to everyone who has distributed posters, flyers and who sold tickets on our behalf over the course of the last few months. Finally thanks to all the DJ’s Jock Mitchell who got the main room off to such a good start, Ginger who made a long and arduous trip to finish off and those in between who kept the dancefloor busy throughout. A special mention to those Jox in the Modern Room whose talents were not perhaps as fully appreciated as they should have been.

The 99 Soul Club will be 10 years old next year – we are currently reviewing options and plans and we’ll keep you informed.

Greetings

Welcome to the new website and apologies to those of you who have been trying to access the old one.

Belated thanks to all who attended our last night in June down at The Spa and special mentions to Matty Sherlock and Biff our special guests With no other events between now and then, our focus now turns to Saturday November 1^st, The Soul Splash.

Whilst not an event to compare in terms of size to the recent Brid and Whitby week-enders, it is by far the biggest event we have organized and arguably the biggest soul event Scarborough has seen. For the first time we will have 2 rooms with The Ocean Room hosting northern soul and the Promenade Lounge providing sounds for the taste of the modern/crossover fraternity. Together they can accommodate 900 people.

We have recruited an excellent DJ line up and the venue bears comparison with any in the UK. Both rooms afford stunning views over the bay and no expense has been spared for the sound systems in either. We are very optimistic that this will be a great night.

Timings for the event are perhaps a bit different to the norm but by beginning at 7pm and ending at 3am we are still providing the traditional 8 hours offered by an All-Niter but in timescales more realistic to our clientele. Suffice to say from our own research, a midnight until 8 format is not as attractive as once it was to many!!

There will be no tickets on sale on the night of the event but last minute decision makers do not despair as tickets will be sold on the day either from The Spa Box Office of from the Scarborough Tourist Information Centre in the Brunswick Centre.

Finally recommended accommodation details are indicated below – any of you thinking of planning a week-end visit are advised to book early as the town is busy even at this autumnal time of year. Looks like being a great event – hope you can join us.

Greetings

We approached our 9^th Anniversary and first night at The Spa with some trepidation, a new venue a bit out of town and a similar if not identical type of event in the town centre on the same night.

In the end our anxieties proved to be unfounded as we enjoyed a superb night with one of the largest ever attendances thanks in no small part to those supporting our guests Yocky and Kev Bainbridge and also to many new faces who hopefully will return on Saturday June 14^th when our special guests and good friends will be Biff and from Leeds Matty Sherlock. Matty is making his 99 Soul Club debut having been unable to attend last year because of illness whilst Biff is will be a familiar name to our regulars.

Beyond that there is the Soul Splash on November 1^st for which tickets (£10) are now on sale and are selling well. All details are on the website and I remind you that the Splash is an advanced ticket only affair with tickets available via the ticket hotline 01723 515556 or at our June event. Remember we are able to accept credit card payments on the hotline if that assists your financing.

For either event we are pleased to add Briarlene holiday apartments to our recommended accommodation. The better news is that this accommodation is directly above The Cellars Bar , a CAMRA real ale pub with Sky Sports, good food, and being on Valley Road its just a 10 minute walk to The Spa so no need to worry about the cost of taxis etc. Also on Valley Road is the Ashburton Hotel so with couple of decent pubs and decent parking this is altogether a decent area in terms of our Spa events.

With regard to the Harmony Guest House (see below) quote “99 Soul Club” and you will get a special rate of £20 per person per night B&B subject of course to availability –

In all cases please try and book early. Scarborough is a busy at week-ends throughout the year not just in summer.

Finally and just to confirm admission for June is £5, the event runs from 8 to 2 but with no entry after 11 o’clock. See you then.

Welcome to the new look 99 Soul Club website. We had a few technical issues with the old 99soulclub.com site so it was decided to abandon it and set up home with WordPress. We hope you like the new look and feel. It can be a lot more interactive as visitors can leave comments on every page! There’s a few more things to add before we have it exactly how we want it, for instance the photos from past events need to be uploaded. But we hope it doesn’t detract from the current experience. Enjoy your visit!
