Hi you lot cant wait till the next LIBS should see you all down at the Vic Soul Club saturday nite,
if not then the SOS club @ The Bess on sunday

Nigel Elaine KTF

yep looking forward to this myself, and now we have competition from the big boys who have decided to one on our night,
but never mind we will still have our door at £2 all night, and request played IF WE HAVE THEM,
we will battle on.
keeping the faith,, BACK2BASICS SOUL NIGHTS OUT,

We'll have a great night Mick playing those quality soul tunes, the people who have been coming in the last few months have enjoyed themselves, yes its a small club, but with a lot of soul, a definite sense of togetherness with a family atmosphere. Back2Basics is a philosophy, a thinking, not done for profit but for love of the music amongst like minded friends. I went last year and got hooked, this is the way I open the 1st Friday of my soul month... wouldn't go anywhere else....its a good night with open minded soulies...give it a try
KEEP THE FAITH!
Mick

yep mick, looking forward to this all again, full house last month so heres hopeing for that again,
i know some of the crowd are at butlins so a little more room on the dance floor me thinks ,
had quite a few from victory club asking, so may pull them down feb'..
to the one's asking ''where did the name brinny mick come from'' well its an old football name i picked up after hanging the boots up,
and i used to turn out for a couple of teams that was short on a sunday, and they used to say ''lets knock brinny mick up''
no mobiles in them days ,,, it was a pebble at the window, lol
any way, hope you all give this club your support, like many clubs it needs it , and at only £2 on the door itS great value for a fantastic night of across the board NORTHERN SOUL & MOTOWN NIGHTS
KTF ALL,

Often wondered where those silky skills and nifty footwork on the floor came from. Takes me back to my footballing days at Cambridge. Soul music nights preceded the next morning's league game, usually kicking lumps out of each other, often mistiming tackles depending on the severity of our hangovers.Maybe we could organise a soul club inter league, original boots only. Sees you later at Bessie.
KTF

ho yes, one of the best right backs in rotherham, made england squad in my dreams one night, lol,
that would be funny a northern soul footie league, play to the music lad, thats the team talk!
i was in the saturday league quite a good one to be in no lump kickers in that one,
just turned out sundays as unregistered player back then,
i think my old puma kings have mice nesting in them now in the shed, ,
ktf all see you all friday.

Looking forward to friday after the great turn-out last month. Going to sort out some uptempo classic northern soul.
Don't put my name down for the footie team, I think I've got enough health issues without any football related ones as well (LOL).
I'll be left back (in the dressing room).
See you all friday, Barry, KGB, KTF.

Nigel & Elaine KTF

Could only stay for an hour and a half due to a prior engagement, but what I did see and hear impressed me immensely.
Great music by Mick and Mickey, and a warm friendly little club, plus an extremely good turnout given what was also on last night.
I love these little clubs on the Cliffe and down Darnall, take me right back - my family are from down there going right back to the 1890's, its in mi blood.
Super night - dont miss it, I'll be back.
See yer,

Chris Brooke

Spot on Chris, glad to see you here at last! Another top night of music and people. I thought Mick Lait was simply outstanding in his choices, mixing up 60's Northern and 70's Modern, you played some fab stuff, much of which I did'nt know. Barry (KGB) another eclectic set, pretty sure Paul Anka and Tom Jones were in there old faves, Nigel Filmer keeps wowing the crowd with his talent- always keeping them burning up the dance floor, and boy-did you sound good on that mike! Also many thank Nigel for your hard work and dedication - setting up the sound system for us as Jarvo and Ang were off away this week-end.

Given the fact that the Butlins soul week-end was on, as well as Davey's (hope you lot had good numbers too as well guys)-I thought our turn out of regulars and newies was remarkable, seeing everyone on the floor enjoying it makes it our day....the club-room for me looks small when its empty at the start of the night, but seems to get bigger once people come in and start dancing (did I have too much to drink again?!)

Massive praise and respect to Roger, Charlie and the Victory Crew, Russ, Nigel and Elaine, Rachel, Sharon and partners, Ian (top dancer), Chris Brooke, Maureen and Alyn, Alan Wright, the lovely Liz and everyone else for continuing to support back2basics...a cheap night, nice people who gell together cheap beer, late bar, varied sounds, top landlords...just a fantastic night! Please give it a try if not been before.

Peace, love and soulful sounds.

See you all at KGB next Saturday-ATB and KTF

Mickey

Ditto to everything that's allready been said. Got that feeling early on there wasn't going to be many turn up but was I surprised. Really chuffed for the guys for the hard work put in, keep it up, great stuff. Thanks to the dancers, you make my job that bit easier when you're up for a good night, will be back soon, see you all next week, Barry, KGB, KTF.

Well once again the Attercliffe Liberal Club pulls it off,although the numbers may have been down on last month record turn out (might i add through clashes of events taking place on the same night and not through a lack of quality by the Back'2'Basics team) At the moment i'm going through "Soul Overload" so i'm picking and choosing my nights but without a doubt this event is in the section of the can't miss (as my time of arrival last night would go to prove this)

At the risk of doing a full lengh dissertation, the Back'2'Basics philosophy of quality spins with the "Youth Club" feel seems to be a welcome addition to the many events on offer, the word classic may be somewhat overused in some circles but on the music policy at the Atterclife Liberal Club this word is more than apt.For the lovers of undiscoverd and rare soul the play list might be a little lacking the only two known copies of Blind Boy Billy Preacher's Cajun Blues cross-over recording Of "Are You From Dixie" on Ku Klux Klan records form 1962 will not be getting a turntable outing but you could well hear John Miles on Orange from 1973 (and Blind Boy Billy Preacher record doesn't really exist, but you get the idea)

Another big thank you to all the DJ's for giving four great spots, Mickey "Clem" Clements who once again worked perhaps the hardest slot on any bill and helped paved the way for the boys who followed later, some great tunes you played out there and this months wild card spin was Tony Christie's "Avenues and Alleyways" was it soul, was it a beat ballard, was it none of the above? i'll leave it to you to decide, but catchy without a doubt and "Sleep like a baby, my little lady, Dream till the sunrise creeps" ... had the foot tappers approval.

As for the other boys, Barry Holland played a steady set of old Northern favorites with a strong Motown bias, and just a sprinkle of blue eyed soul thrown in for good measure, Nigel Filmer followed on and again gave the dance floor what they wanted this too was very much an old time set and was a great mixture of oldies and 70's sounds, Nigel must also get a mention for supplying the sound equipment for the night in the absence of resident house DJ Jarvo a great and kind gesture.The only person left to mention is Brinny Mick, who can be sumed up as "Mr Reliable" never affraid to play a request or repeat a previously played record kept the dancefloor moving till the very end, a great job by all.

Well only one more thing to say is to thank everyone that came on a bitterly cold night, and once again made this event yet another success, i shall see you all in March.

Russ

well said russ,,
thanks to all for your support at this small but mighty soul club,
hope to see you all march 2nd,
mick lait,
