Sincere thanks to all who attended our first event in our new venue in January.
It was a very successful evening and very well attended.
We cannot do it without your continuing support and we all appreciate your efforts in attending.
Thanks to all for their positive comments.
Just two issues that we will address for future events.
People were having difficulties finding The Banbury United Clubhouse location.
Unfortunately SatNavs will only get you part of the way.
The only access to the club is by way of the Station Approach road.
After turning into Station Approach the main railway station, train drop off point and taxi rank is immediately on the left.
You need to take the narrow roadway on the extreme right to find the Clubhouse and follow this road all the way to the ground.
The clubhouse is approx. 0.5 miles down this road.
Turn right into the Clubhouse car park which is well lit.
If you do get lost the taxi drivers are usually very helpful and will point you in the right direction.
We will also put up more prominent signage showing the direction you need to go.
The second issue was the floor was “sticky” in some places.
We will ensure before the event the the dance area is suitably cleaned.
Also this is a talc friendly event.
So if you feel the need to use some talc on the floor then that’s not a problem.
But please use common sense when “dusting” the floor.
For those who did not attend our January event The Banbury United Clubhouse has recently been refurbished, along with the free car park immediately outside the clubhouse.
The Clubhouse has a raised stage, main wooden dancefloor with seating and tables on both sides.
The music played will be one hundred per cent across the board.
As always the emphasis is on quality and enjoyment.
To start the proceedings in the main room for our second event will be my good self.
I’ll play an hour of classic northern with some tunes you rarely hear out these days.
So a nostalgia hour from me to begin the evening.
Charlie, Steve, Tom and Dave the resident DJ’s will be playing their own selections of danceable soul music to guarantee a brilliant night.
Expect to hear sounds from the last 50 years covering all genres, tempos and styles.
After requests on the January night we have decided to open up the second room.
This will NOT be a Northern room.
The “NO BOUNDARIES” room will do exactly what it says on the tin.
It will feature modern, crossover, low rider, soulful house and jazz funk. Basically if it is soulful it will be played.
The exception is there will be NO Northern or Motown.
Nick “Topsey” Turvey will be curating this alternative room.
He has complete freedom to play exactly what he wants and invite any guest DJ’s who will enhance that room.
And Nick’s first guest is local boy Eddie Hubbard.
I’m sure Eddie needs no introduction to soul fans.
And as a resident of ‘Ease Your Mind’, which has a very similar music policy to ‘No Boundaries’, Eddie will know exactly what is expected in this room.
So if you prefer those genres of soul this is the room for you.
In summary this will genuinely be a “something for everyone” evening.
So make sure you come along and enjoy a superb soulful night’s entertainment for only £5.
Two rooms of soul, 10 hours of music for only £5 has to be a bargain.
Anyway we all hope to see you all on Saturday 2nd March January 2019 - 8pm to 1am
Admission is just £5.
