Great night storming and packed superb  70th birthday celebrations for waggy never seen a cake that big !!!.

Next one 2nd March Waggy's lined up some top names should be great.

Sadly might be not there or at least very late, so another guest has or will be added, keeps it fresh !!!!.

The venue is perfect. Give me a good old shithole any day. Just look at the Casino, Pier, Central etc.The atmosphere is spot on, with a great knowledgeable crowd. Plenty of women there and they return time and again. We are so lucky to have this venue on our doorstep, with a chance to listen to underplayed 60,s and 70,s. Long may it continue. Shitholes rule OK

Spot on mate  you should come to Swinton allnighter week sat as well the way to go as rough and ready if you wanna play underplayed, Donny is perfect and owners can only do with what they have its always been same some of the doos in Leeds and Bradford , Scout Huts man caves are better but that's what keeps it affordable ITS FREE FREE FREE  wow, you can come with me to Brid or Detroit but respect each venue the same, its the commitment we all put in , Waggy wants to go outside the box playing 1000,s of records we don't here or we don't know and this is the way to do it , Spot On great . just great.

The H&J is perfect for soul music, with some of the UKs top DJs playing to a knowledgable and appreciative crowd. The ethos of the promoters is to stay true to the original values of the scene which has helped give the H&J a well deserved reputation for a top night of real underplayed and rare soul.

And I don't think it helps writing barely legible posts slagging off a soul night that Waggy and others have worked tirelessly on for over 3 years.

As for waggy I got the upmost respect for him. & As for my grammar in my previous comment I woz half cut kid Wen I posted it but anyway no offense mate we are all into a great scene so guess that speaks for itself accept my apologies 😉

The back room has been done out we have soul pictures on the walls now the smell comes from the pub being built in sandsto e and absorbs wet / rain that is the smell it will dry out in summer. Hope that explains it.
