Hi Folks, As we live in hope for an Indian summer, I'll remind you all of the next time we're 'Groovin' on the Green' - September 23rd. Tickets are available from the usual outlets (Sirene & OKH & from yours truly). This time in our efforts to bring the various tastes from around the country, our guest DJ will be Charlie McAneny from Banbury. I'm sure Charlie will delight just as Andy Whitmore and Dave 'Klink' Allan did so well at the last GotG back in June. Looking forward to seeing you all. atb For 'Alan Paterson' alanpaterson1903@gmail.com tfk

spot on Dale , yes a fabulous night out in great company at "Grumpys" new home. in the words of Little Eddie Taylor " had a good time" with my baby. Well worth the journey down - Phew!!! tfk

Just a quick note to thank those of you who managed to attend GotG on Saturday. Going by the reception you gave Terry Jones, Keith Money and our own Andy Hughes, you obviously enjoyed every minute of the night. I look forward to seeing you all again at the next one - Saturday, June 17th whereby we'll have Andy Whitmore back on again and Dave 'Klink' Allan behind the decks. It's sure to be another great night with the next cocktail of rare soul having you asking after. There's also a wee surprise package being prepared which I'll reveal in the next notice.In the meantime, groove on!!AtbAlan Paterson.

Great news guys and well done , looks a fabulous venue too ..... easy peasy to get to and only a stones throw from Shotton Railway station pronounced "Shotton" not Shotts-on! tfk

Just to let you all know, now that March has arrived that's my lot of tickets sold out. If you know anyone who has indicated a desire to attend then please direct them to Sirene. I think Andy/Amanda have some left, if not try behind the bar at the OKH. Terry Jones is flying up on the day and I'm sure like Keith Money will be enthused at how responsive the crowd is to their own personal selection. This format is delivering just what I set out for i.e. freshness. I look forward to seeing those of you who manage to secure a ticket.Atb Alan [GotG]

HNY folks,Hopefully you all had a good festive period.Thanks to all those who came to GotG on the 30th, a great turn out on what I'd describe as an awkward night just before the traditional celebrations. Despite everyone having their own Hogmanay plans, so many came to make it another great night, thank you. Special thanks goes to the two lads (Pepsi and Des) who were never going to disappoint. A great mix full of quality rare soul music imho! All warmed up nicely by Andy Hughes of course. I'm just heading out now with the usual allocation of tickets for the OKH bar to sell for the night on March 18th when we've got top jocks Terry Jones and Keith Money delivering the goods alright! I'll do likewise tomorrow with Sirene.With the tickets going on sale last GotG so many people bought theirs there so please bear it in mind that there's not as many left as at this stage normally. A faster sell out is anticipated this time.Last of all, requests prior to the night have helped the buzz so by all means, keep em coming however please bear in mind that they still have to pass quality control?. Other than that, keep on groovin!!Speak soonAlan Paterson.
