GrahamDJOakfield 11 Posted January 21, 2018 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.
