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 1st, 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.
