The Midnight Hour Crew

LEGENDS! The very title of the weekender demands that we source outstanding artists for the event and in past years we’ve seen artists including; The Miracles, Kim Weston, Brenda Holloway, JJ Barnes, The Spinners and Chuck Jackson, so the Midnight Hour Crew had their work cut out to further raise the bar, but it is with great pleasure and excitement that we welcome Tavares, The Velvelettes, Dean Parrish and Tony Momrelle to Prestatyn. Tavares will take to the stage on Friday night to perform their full range of disco classics including; ‘Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel’, ‘Don’t Take Away The Music’, ‘It Only Takes A Minute’ and ‘Whodunnit’. We were very proud to work with The Velvelettes at our first Legends Weekender at Hemsby on the East coast and now they’re back Saturday night to perform their Northern Soul and Commercial classics; ‘Needle In A Haystack’, ‘Lonely’, ‘Lonely Girl Am I’, ‘These Things Will Keep Me Loving You’, ‘He Was Really Sayin’ Somethin’. Also on Saturday night we are very excited to bring you the Northern Soul Legend that is Mr Dean Parrish. Famous for being the last record to be played at each Wigan Casino allnighter, his live rendition of ‘I’m On My Way’ is guaranteed to raise the hairs on the back of your neck!

In the Modern Soul Arena Fish has been tracking a certain artist across the globe to secure him for the “Without Boundaries” Arena. Tony Momrelle performed with Incognito at Prestatyn 2009 and so impressed the crowd with his polished, soulful vocals that Fish has brought him back to perform on Saturday night. Tony was recently spotted by Sade, who recruited him to perform on her World Tour, so Fish had to work particularly hard to negotiate and book him for this event, enjoy. For those of you new to the event, LEGENDS differs from our March weekender in that we have a Commercial Soul Arena operating alongside the Northern and Modern Soul Arenas. So all you hardened Soulies can take the opportunity to let your hair down and party to favourite disco classics from back in the day!

Channel 6 Soul Radio will be beamed live into each apartment, so the party won’t stop, even when you’re away from the venues. DJ’s will be playing soul from across the board and will feature many tracks not usually heard on the dancefloor. Have a great weekend and don’t forget our upcoming 10th Anniversary Weekender in March 2011.

FISH previews his “Without Boundaries” Arena @LEGENDS 2010. For those that like their ‘Modern Soul’ we have another mouthwatering event lined up for you. With LIVE performances on Friday night from TAVARES who are still made up of 4 of the original 5 brothers who took the soul scene by storm in a wave of disco fever in the mid to late 70’s. As a group, however, beside the well-known chart topping hits, they made some seriously good music in the latter part of the 70’s and into the early 80’s with terrific albums for Capitol Records during that period.

In addition to this - Saturday evening sees TONY MOMRELLE grace the stage in the ‘Without Boundaries’ arena complete with his own band. Recent years have seen Mr. Momrelle front vocals for INCOGNITO as the male lead of the group, as well as a hectic worldwide touring schedule with SADE, plus recording tracks for his own soon come solo project when time allows him to! Compared favourably to a young STEVIE WONDER vocally in his prime (with Stevie a big fan himself).

The future looks very rosy indeed for one of the finest vocalists to have ever surfaced here in the UK.

Don’t miss the chance to see Tony up close and personal in an intimate setting here at the Prestatyn Legends Weekender.

DJ wise we’ve added youngster and new kid on the block!!) COLIN CURTIS to the ‘Modern Soul’ line-up after his well received debut at the March event. Seriously though, he isn’t somebody that actually needs too much introduction - albeit to say he’s been there and done it all for nearly 40 odd years from the early days at the Blackpool Mecca, The Jazz Funk explosion of the late 70’s / early 80’s, to the club scene in Manchester, Weekenders such as Southport & Blackpool etc to a still prolific work schedule today at many of the finest gigs up and down the country - so welcome aboard Sir! Room wise we have some key design changes being made to the ‘Without Boundaries’ room and without wishing to give too much away - you’ll just have to come in and see for yourself!

Have a great weekend
