About The Event

People kept asking so, after a few months trawling around, we're delighted to have found another venue for Grumpy Soul  :thumbup: ( special thanks to Steve Thomas)  See flyer below for full details. Special guest in June is Andy Dyson, with us four filling in the gaps as per. Music policy, same as it ever was.

The new venue is about 10 miles further along the M56 than the Runcorn club but we've been twice and it takes no longer to get to than the old place. It's also an absolute doddle to find and literally two minutes off the motorway. 

DIRECTIONS

M6 onto M56

Pass Chester services and continue onto A494

Exit Queensferry.  First exit at roundabout onto B5129, Chester Rd E

Straight on for 1/2 mile. Pub then chippy on your right

Next left onto Chemistry Lane

Club is about 1/4 mile on your right

The room is roughly the same size as the old one with a decent stage and a good sized dance floor (no talc folks. It'll be polished so no need). It'll also be pitch black (Len :thumbsup:). Add in good parking, an ideal space for record sales, covered smoking area, sensible bar prices, easy access and it's a no brainer really.

Hope to see all the old faces first week in June then, plus a few new ones too of course!!!!

Just two weeks to go before our first night in the new venue. We're really looking forward to it and hope to see a few of you there. Like Phil said, it won't be the same without Mick but we'll all remember him the way we knew and loved him x

Less than a week to go :thumbup: 

One or two regulars off on their jollies but a really good buzz about it and looks like it's gonna be a great night next Saturday. Be great to catch up with Carl, Dave n Lou again after our little break and really glad Andy D's finally guesting for us: fanatical collector with unbelievable knowledge and a great lad. Musically it'll be right up there I think so let's get it rammed and rocking. Got a couple of new bits of sound equipment to hook up and test this week so the system should sound top notch too. All good then ... 

DIRECTIONS (its an absolute doddle!)

Pass Chester services, continue onto A494 and exit Queensferry.  

First exit at roundabout onto B5129, Chester Rd E

Few days to go, will post times for those that do tomorrow. Carl's well up for it, he's preparing that silky voice of his with honey and lemon as I type :D

Carl will be playing Gwen Owens 'Wanted and Needed' in memory of Mick. As we all know it was one of his very favourite records so it will be everyone on the dance floor! Anyone still seated will be encouraged to their feet in true Mick Howard fashion (that cheeky point of a finger) 

Going to be a great night x

This is about the time when Dj's  start eulogising over the propect of spinning their latest aquisitions, well after being battered into submission by e-bay, I ain't got nothing new to shout about :( but! and there is a but I have restocked my Dj box but not wih vinyl but with an assortment of glove puppets wearing tee-shirts with F**King Tune on their vests, forget Djing it's a Punch and Judy Show all the way  Hopefully this will add a touch of variety to complement Carl's vocal performance if not he can join the act as the crocodile puppeteer, that's the way to do it !!!!:wicked:
