Well it took some time but here goes..........................
The Lyric, an original vaudeville theatre refurbished to high standards which really complimented to the atmosphere.
Nigh on 200 souls attended the 13th Anniversay celebration of Soul Galore and at least half were on the dancefloor all night thanx to 4 quality DJs.
3 impromptu dance competitions going on
,
Dave Bacon versus
Ian Turner,
Keith Driver versus
Sean Ashman, and
Little Al versus the bottom right hand corner! It would be remiss of me to state who the winners were - well actually we were all winners by being there
Large raffle prizes all claimed bar two so they be held over to next night 24th Jan 09.
Someone commented on my choice of headware so I changed into santa with pigtails - and why not
I do apologise if I got on anybody's wick cos I had a few sherberts but tried to get round to talk to majority during the night. I have since done a CD requested by
Syd & Cheryl but how I remembered the trax I'll never know - give it you on 24th m8 k?
