Casablanca club Grimsby
One of the finest venues on the east coast, the seating around the dance floor reminiscent of an amphitheatre which this evening was indeed apt.
The gladiators were not armed with trident or short swords, none of them even slightly resembled Russel Crow, their armoury consisted of vinyl, and their war was against mediocrity and they won it hands down.
Resident Gladiators of the Decks were Nick Borst who started the evening off with an eclectic mix of all manner of bits and pieces, most well known but each, to a one, well loved.
Then resident number two Pete Stone bombarded the gathering with a mixture of sounds often as rare as they were delightful including that version of the Matta Baby’s Pearl Girl, you know the one, it doesn’t have the impromptu vocals and it isn’t even by the Matta Baby (although I, being a mere mortal can never remember who it is by). Also that alternate ‘goldspot’ version of Kenni Smith, O’Lord…., yep that’s the quality of this man’s tunes.
The two guests for the evening were Steve Woomble and Pete Taylor. Steve Woomble’s selection of modern tunes would even get the most ardent 60s fan tapping his or her feet in rhythmic delight so infectious were they.
Pete Taylor hit the paying public with an hour of, what many may term as current monsters but that term itself doesn’t do justice to some of the sounds emitting from Mr. Taylors record box this evening. Always enjoy his sets but none more so than this one at the Casablanca club, sixty minutes of well and lesser known tunes that, in my humble opinion, make this scene what it is, soul music to dance to.
There was probably very, very few venues that would match the diversity of quality music played at the Casablanca this evening.
Gladiatorial splendour on the east coast of North Lincolnshire, if one has never visited this club before then one really should give it a go but….. beware of a Wolf in Sheep’s clothing, there is another promoter who has started to use this venue (I’ll say no more about that, free market and all) but it would be hard to mistake the two, just look for the quality of dee-jays constantly put forward by the Cleethorpes Soul Collective, they speak for themselves.
