42nd SOUTHPORT WEEKENDER



42nd Weekender



The Southport Weekender attracts 5000 people to Pontins holiday resort, Southport, twice a year for 21 years and is one of the most musically diverse music weekenders in the UK. Were the past and the future of R’n’B, Soul and House music come together like no other event. The atmosphere was electric with the passion everyone had for the music, it is clear why most people come back year after year and why it is one the longest standing music events.

In the Funkbase Room the atmosphere was high the lights low, a perfect recipe for success. One of the highlights was when one lad started to dance in a sequence of steps, the next minute whole room started to join in, with hundreds of people dancing in unison.

Stephanie from Burscough states, “The line-up is great and I love meeting up with people I have met at previous weekenders”. The Live acts included Jay Sean, Monique Bingham and The Blackbyrds who all had the crowd screaming for more. The Powerhouse had a mix of live vocals and house music working together to produce a fantastic show.

The beatbar was a surprise with all manner of weird and wonderful dance moves; I’ve never seen feet move so fast. The Southport weekender is one of the friendliest events I have ever been to; everyone was so relaxed and friendly even to first timers.

On a whole the Southport Weekender was a huge success, Sophie from London said, “I have been four times and I come back because the atmosphere is great the people are friendly and the music is excellent”. If people are looking forward to the next Southport Weekender in November they better book early as a lot of people were disappointed as tickets sold out months before the May event.

On another note since I was feeling ill on the Saturday morning I left early, so I would like to say a special thank you to everyone who was concerned for my wellbeing and has enquired after me to my boss from the Southport Reporter. I would especially like to thank the security man at the front desk that was lovely and couldn’t do enough to help. Thanks again.

This design is wicked! You certainly know how to keep a reader amused.
Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well,
almost...HaHa!) Wonderful job. I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it.

Too cool!

I hardly drop comments, but i did a few searching and wound up here "42nd SOUTHPORT WEEKENDER".
And I actually do have a couple of questions for you if you do not mind.
Could it be only me or does it look like some of the comments come across like they are written by brain dead people?
:-P And, if you are writing on other places, I would like to
keep up with anything new you have to post. Would you list of
every one of your communal pages like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?

Could it be only me or does it give the impression like a
few of these remarks appear as if they are written by brain
dead folks? :-P And, if you are writing at other online sites, I'd like to follow everything fresh you have to post. Could you make a list every one of all your community sites like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
