Review: Sweet P

Having been to one of the better nights down at Moso Moso, a friend decided it would be nice to mark a couple of special occasions by celebrating with family and friends at this stylish venue.  She said how much she had enjoyed Elegance a couple of months before and that the restaurant was quality. It was!  It was much busier than expected - there was a good atmosphere, good service, nice food and even nicer wine! in nice surroundings.

The DJs were setting up as we arrived then left some mellow Soul to play as we wined and dined.  We were a little surprised as we expected the Soul night to

be upstairs, away from the restaurant, but once everyone has finished eating, the staff moved the tables and chairs and made way for ‘Elegance’.

People started filtering in slowly but surely.  DJ’s Delight & Tuff DT were spinning dance classics for most of the night, with BLZ playing the likes of Mary J Blige and Angie Stone later on.   The crowd was mixed with a few ‘faces’ in attendance and everyone was well-dressed which was in keeping with the venue.  The security is secure!  No messing. No sh*t.  In general though, the night was flat and people were trying to make the most of it!!!  However, this must be the worst time in the year for any event - the end of January!  Folk are feeling the cost of Christmas; plus ‘Blackburn’ was on which is a well-established Soul night in the North West.  Now, I personally think that there is a catch-22 situation for Elegance.  If the Soul ’eads of Manchester read not-so-good reviews about the joint then they are not going to pay up to £15 to go.  But...  if people don’t go then the night will never take off!  So, first of all, there should be one set price for getting in on the door and a set price for members.

I get the feeling that there is some confusion caused by the different amounts being charged (ie; whether you’re a member, if you go before a certain time, if you go after a certain time, if you buy a ticket, etc) and people are reluctant to turn up on the night to pay for something where they may or may not get value for money!  Secondly, there is a Soul night going on... at a modern venue... with good DJs... every month... in the heart of Manchester.  So folks, it’s up to you... you need to get down there and make it happen! In order to obtain your membership card text 07852 130713 with your full name, date of birth and e-mail address – you must have all three details.  This will get you in on 23rd Feb for £2.50.  £5.00 on the door.

For future events, members will be charged £6.00 (with possible free admission for special events), tickets £10.00 or £12.00 on the door.
Elegance will soon be promoting its next celebratory Soul night to be held on 23rd February.  This is Bullitz’ Birthday Bash and the website launch - so get your membership cards, get on down and start doing what Manchester people know how to do best... part-eee!!!  

Soul Control Verdict:

This was a subdued night with not much atmosphere or spark.  Hopefully the party on 23rd February will see more people in attendance and as a result the night will flourish. 

Soul Control Rating: (out of 5)
