Spring Bank holiday
weekend saw the arrival of the 2nd highly anticipated 3 Keys
Modernist Weekender in Skegness. The
weekender was based in the Grand Central on Grand Parade, which in our opinion
is a great venue.
Friday night kicked off
at 8pm in style in the downstairs room of the venue, with an impressive turn
out for the welcome party. The line-up
of DJ’s included the Britalian Job and Grits and Gravy with guest DJ’s Adrian
Milton and Rob Glover. What a great
start to the weekend – we made our way back to the B&B tired with aching
feet but happy.
Saturday’s events
started at 2pm back at the Grand Central with various vintage and record stalls
and open decks inside, glorious sunshine and beer outside – all in all a
perfect afternoon. The Saturday evening,
held in the larger upstairs room, boasted fantastic 60’s footage being played
on a screen while the DJ’s, including David Edwards, Neil Lee, Adrian Milton
and Rob Glover, the Britalian Job and Grits and Gravy, played another night of
excellent music. It really was hard to
keep off the dance floor! The atmosphere
was great, lots of happy, friendly faces enjoying each other’s company and
amazing tunes.
For those hardcore
amongst us Sunday started at 12pm with open decks and stalls and the weather
held out for the Scooter ride out at 3pm.
The last night was said by some to be the best with the DJ’s playing a
range of mod club classics, RnB, Beat and Hammond as they had done all
weekend.
We can safely say that a
great weekend was had by all and we three cannot wait for next year’s
weekender. The dates for next year are
27th, 28th and 29th May – some have already
booked their digs so get organised if you fancy going.
