Just recovering from 4 days of hectic vinyl mayhem so just checking in...
Suffice to say that it was generally deemed to be the best one yet. Lots of 'firsts' including the first Eddie Parker on the Hitsville turntables. Lots of great stuff played. Oldies, Newies, Rarities, Cheapies, Beat Ballads, Uptempo, MidTempo....Event started on Thursday Night with:
Skip Jackson - Haven't We Met Before - 20th Century Fox Demo
And finished at Midnight on Sunday with:
The Enchanters - I Paid For the Party - Loma Demo
The stuff in between was stoopendous. The soundrig performed to perfection. The hotel and staff were superb, the weather was beautiful and the Mediterranean equally so.
We had 120 attendees.
More to follow like pics and playlists as people get home and recover. The US gang were missed and we all hope you can make the next one.
A full blown weekend of great soul music of all descriptions. All played, danced to and appreciated by a group of people who do it with style and panache like nowhere else. Well chuffed.
Most people en route home now, so hopefully once they're sorted we'll hear from them.
Off to Bed........KNACKERED BUT HAPPY! 
Regards,
Dave

| Just to say we had a bit of a drama going home(wrong road back to airport,no compass!) as I have been out of sorts for a few days.Didnt get chance to say goodbye to everybody,so my apologies there.I thought we would have had an hour or so back at Hotel after dropping Mick off,not to be.Really enjoyed the music from all concerned,cant even remember most of the weekend so must have had a good time! Great to see my old school mate making the big journey,well played Dennis! Walked up somebodys drive on way back to hotel after La Finca,having already declared "I'm not p*ssed".Decided I was after that. Only slight downer for me was the drive back having had little sleep and not having chance to spend more time out there owing to work commitments at present.Weather was great and really enjoyed the Sunday,best part of it for my liking. LOL H
