Prestatyn Soul Weekender
1988

Words by Apiento

Found these via DJ History and the Go Bang Brighton website (thanks!). As it says under the videos on YouTube, "This is a copy of a dusty old video from 1989. It was filmed in the UK, the film is from a Soul Weekender in Prestatyn (Wales). This is a unique video that shows how the format of the Soul weekender changed forever ... in the UK.

Although this was billed as a Soul Weekender, in truth it ended up featuring some of the biggest names in acid house music. Pete Tong went onto become the dance music master at R1, Oakey became a global DJ superstar, Gilles Peterson went onto R1 and Nicky Holloway went onto create the massive London house music clubs Sin/Trip etc ... and the rest of us "got on one matey" ..."

It's great the soul crew liked a video camera so much as some of this is pretty priceless.
