  1. It was my first time to visit here 2 months back and had a great time with excellent across the board music. However it is going to be seriously good this Saturday with Greg Osbourne doing a guest spot. It was myself and Greg who founded The Oakfield Club in Sale way back in 1996. Greg's record collection speaks for itself. Really looking forward to it.
  2. Many thanks Pete..
  3. Hi, Are there any cheap (non-rip-off) carparks nearby within walking distance? Thanks in advance.
  4. First time here for us last month, me and my good lady Jeanette. We braved the horrendous weather travelling from Sale. All the DJ sets were brilliant with something for everyone which for us made the night. The room is ideal for Northern Soul with a first-class dance floor. Bar prices were respectable too. I would like to say a special thanks to our table neighbours Steve, Colin and Terry who made us feel very welcome with their friendliness and sound conversation.
  5. Hopefully I will be here this Saturday. Last months soul night was excellent as always with Stevie Hay doing a great guest spot. Both Ian and Ken go the extra mile in making their nights successful. They have now just recently invested in a beautiful pair of floor-standing high-end speakers to compliment the rest of their quality sound system. There is still for my money no other soul night within the local area that can get anywhere near SOS soul nights and all played on vinyl. Authentic,, the word!!!
  6. Hi Steve, unfortunately I will not be able to make your first night due to other commitments however I will definitely be at your second night......I grew up with Ian’s brother Jerry Obeng from the age of 5 going to the same schools, collages, work etc including visits to Wigan and stuff. I am sure that we may have possibly met at some point. My nickname was ‘Herby’ for my sins lol. On your second night I will make a point of introducing myself to you and bring Jerry along too. Good luck for tonight it will be a ‘sell-out’ Graham.
  7. Fantastic news this, it really is. Another ‘dedicated’ Northern Soul night. The venue is superb for Soul with the large wooden dance floor and as venues goes comes a close second to Sale Masonic Hall. As Soulandy has mentioned there has been soul here before. Around 15 years ago in conjunction with Altrincham Festival, myself. Mark ‘Roscoe’ Robinson & Geoff Allman put a Northern Soul/Motown one-off night on and we maxed the venue out. We never firmed up any future dates because I was still running and behind the decks at Sale Oakfield Club.......Good luck to you all who are organising this event going forward I am sure you will have great well attended nights here....Just one point to mention though. When we did that one night the club had a ‘decibel’ meter that cut the power to the stage area if the music was played too loud which was a constant pain in the backside with start/stop if the music went above a certain loudness. However this may not be in place these days. Good luck and all the best. Graham Hibbert
  8. Hi,,,,,,,Please advise venue 'name' ....Thanks,,
  9. Can you pay on the door?
  10. I thought that I needed to write a few words about this great soul club. This is of course if you have never visited. This was Jeanette and my first visit on Sunday 14/Jan/2018. We don’t go to that many venues these days due to the ‘same-old!!!!’ however here at ISC there was something a little different in the air. We arrived at 2pm to secure seats with Derek Gorman feeding the decks with quality stuff even at this time. Using the bar was a ‘breeze’ with the bar lady throughout the afternoon remembering our drinks round each time with a smile. The building itself is an ideal size with a curved shaped roof and reminded me somewhat of “Mr. M’s” at Wigan Casino. But you know what,,,,,what I did like and really counts was their ‘PA system’ this was premier league with 2 pairs of front end speakers plying out the soul from this rare vinyl. Come on!!!!! How many venues have you all ever been to with a ‘Tin-Pot’ underrated PA system that just can’t stand up to the venue in question. For us chaps in earlier years gone by who jocked and ran the Oakfield Club in Sale and Ellingtons In Altrincham prior to the Oakfield our sound system was paramount with nothing but a ‘Rolls Royce’ system so that the paying public always got value for money,,,,,,,,,which!! at £4 admission for 6 hours of soul is exactly what ISC are giving. A credit to Paul and George the other two resident dj’s who also contributed to a ‘across the board’ music selection. Guest dj’s Kieron and Debs both did excellent first class spots playing a good selection too. Well done everyone!! Keep it up and we will most certainly be returning. Graham ‘Herby’ Hibbert (Dj & founder of Oakfield Club, Sale)
  11. Hi, What time do you open? Thanks
  12. Hi, Never been here before, does this event have it's own private function room/area or is it part of the normal pub layout? Thanks in advance. Graham.
  13. Thanks Mike, were going to try and make it. It would be great if you have any of these 4 records and maybe able to play one of them if you can fit it in. I used to spin these at the Oakfield and 'break the dance-floor' The likes of Paul Morgan, Steve Hay, Geoff Allman, Bernie etc will vouch for this. The vocals from Billy Prophet and the Silhouettes just make your hair stand-up on end and give you goose bumps. Silhouettes - Not Me Baby - Goodway Billy Prophet - What can I do - Sue Something About You - Four Tops - Gordy/TM Baby What I mean - The Drifters - Atlantic
  14. Hi Mike, I'm guessing that doors open at 8pm? Graham (Herby) Hibbert
  15. Hi Tony, I really do hope that you get this mail. I hope that the afternoon went down well and was busy. I could not make it due to 'shingles' virus on one side of my face and neck. Extremely painful and never had it before. Please pass-on my apologies to Stan and Dennis. I would liked to have met both yourself Tony and Dennis, and Stan I have not seen in years. I will definitely make your next instalment. All the best. Graham Hibbert (Oakfield Club Sale)
