The Spirit Of Lowton Special Culcheth - Warrington

Well what a great opening night at the new venue, definitely a "feel good factor" All bodes well for future events.

Lots more parking spaces, reasonable bar prices AND top drawer music over both rooms all night. Simon Ingham finishing the night in fine style, great set mate and already looking like a packer for the May event, can't be bad!!

Baz Maleedys review re-posted here from Baz his comments in the thread - I couldn't have summed it up any better anyway!

Great night, love the new venue - good to see my old pal Dave Shannon and all the other regular Culcheth faces.....it's an honour to be a part of the DJ team and I enjoyed every minute. See you all in May for the special event in memory of Karl Rhodes. not to be missed I'm sure it will be a night to remember.

From Baz:

Well, it was always a risk moving venues, but it’s one that seemed to have worked well. I loved the old venue because it reminded me so much of Lowton Civic, but it became impossible to work with the new management, so a move was the only option. It would seem that it’s done us all a big favour and we have a superb new venue, where we can continue to enjoy the music and friendships we’ve had for years. And that was what was sooo special about last night seeing so many had made the effort to come to the new venue and gave it a resounding thumbs up!

The Northern room was very busy from the 'off' and it looked and sounded great, the Modern room looked and sounded great, although we may need to take the bigger room next month as it was packed! The music in both rooms was superb, so big thanks to the main room DJ’s, Kevin Murphy , Mick Howard , Robbo, Simon and Special Guest on the night Dave Shannon who’s love of the music is infectious. And the Modern room DJ’s Pete Ratcliffe , Tony Shawcross and Charlie Smith.

I sincerely hope everyone enjoyed it, judging by the comments at the end of the night it sounded like they did.

Hope to see everyone on May 6th for a night that’s going to be a little bit ‘Special'
