Culcheth With Ted Massey Taz Robathan
Warrington Sat 01 Jun 2024

CULCHETH two room soul nights go from strength to strength as it continues to deliver quality rare and underplayed soul in the main room, as well as superb Modern Soul sounds in room two

Culcheth Soul Nights benefit from a group of resident DJ’s, who, as well as having great collections, are adept at entertaining the crowd of regular attendees with top quality sounds from the 60T’s right through to today’s latest vinyl new releases

Not only that, but the crowd at CULCHETH, appreciate the growing list of outstanding rare soul DJ’s guesting each month. For our next night on JUNE 1st, we are pleased to welcome two of the most popular DJ’s on the Northern, rare soul scene, the ‘Dynamic Duo’, TED MASSEY and TAZ ROBATHAN!

TED’s reputation for delivery quality, rare soul sets precedes him and makes him a perfect guest for CULCHETH, bringing top sounds, professional presentation of the music we love, together with his trademark friendly persuasion, it’s always worth visiting a venue when Ted is on the bill.

Based in Stratford-Upon-Avon, TAZ ROBATHAN, has been finding favour with the rare soul crowd for some time now, DJing at soul nights, All-Nighters, All-Dayers and Weekenders in the South West, Midlands and beyond, and who now makes his CULCHETH debut. To say we are looking forward to welcoming both TED and TAZ to CULCHETH on JUNE 1st would be an understatement!

But let’s not forget the residents team for JUNE 1st, Mr. LOWTON CIVIC, KEV MURPHY is joined by, ASHTON UKRAINIAN DJ, MICK HOWARD and CULCHETH promoter BAZ MALEEDY, all of whom carry boxes of tunes with the sole purpose of complimenting, sharing and entertaining, all in attendance, with the music we all love.

All this, and there’s also ‘The Do within a Do’, CULCHETH Modern Room! The Modern Room brings its own crowd of Soul music lovers of the more Modern sounds, and with resident DJ’s STEVE PLUMB, NICK McKINNON, CHARLIE SMITH, BILL WILDMAN and PETE RATCLIFFE, who could expect anything but the best of the best, from the last four decades of Modern Soul.

The Modern Room @ CULCHETH really is ‘The Do within a Do’. As part of the CULCHETH SOUL NIGHTS, the modern room is self-contained with its own bar, dancefloor, excellent sound system and resident DJ’s. The DJ’s at CULCHETH give the night its own flavour, with residents STEVE PLUMB, NICK McKINNON, CHARLIE SMITH, BILL WILDMAN and PETE RATCLIFFE, providing a base for showcasing quality Modern Soul to an appreciative crowd. PETE RATCLIFFE normally starts he night at 8pm with an hour of all the latest brand new vinyl 45 soul releases, and CULCHETH is probably one of the only places in the UK where you will hear these tracks featured and played out collectively in a club environment. Pete is followed by Steve Plumb, normally with the first of two sets in the night as Steve like to ‘test the water’, early doors, with a selection of recent purchases, selections from the crates and latest promos. ‘Can You Dig It’ resident, NICK Mc KINNON likes to go back to the 70’s and 80’s to showcase some great forgotten tracks as well as a selection of classics from the likes of Parkers Manchester, the Ritz and many other top Modern venues of the era. NICK is complimented by BILL WILDMAN, a DJ from much loved, North West clubs, such as CASSINELLIS and NEWTON CRICKET CLUB, so Bill’s choices reflect the dancefloor winners from that era. CHARLIE SMITH is building a loyal following of Soul lovers who like their Modern tunes to be on the 'rarer side of the tracks', as anyone visiting the CULCHETH Modern room and listening and most definitely, dancing to CHARLIE’S platters, will certainly know.

Join us for a great night of quality, across the decades Modern Soul on June 1st and find out for yourselves…

I was at Burscough a few years ago the night Man Oh Man cleared the dancefloor, tumbleweed the lot, so Martin you could be right, however M O M is still in my top ten of all time.

Back in 2005 Rick Beard the guitarist paid a visit to Soul Source, I ended up corresponding with him, he couldn't believe how popular the two singles were over here.

Baz Is the brilliant Dolly Gilmore "Sweet Sweet Baby" still lurking in your playbox or has it been pushed out by your latest purchases.😜
