45 Revolutions
Rochdale Fri 25 Oct 2024

My third visit to this great club which I find is a breath of fresh air musically.

Sandy and I arrived around 8ish to find the music playing and quite a few friends already seated.

Resident Alan Massey was on the decks playing some nice medium tempo tunes, followed by the other resident Tony Poff who upped the tempo considerably and played quite a few tracks I didn't know.

Tony was followed by the first guest DJ Dave Flint who played an absolutely brilliant set, rarities and underplayed, just what I like and also I'm sure all the others present.

The second guest Tony Mac followed and continued with a superb set, quite a few of my personal favourites included.

For the last hour Alan played and was followed by Tony who ended the night.

So many superb records played, unfortunately I didn't note any down so must rely on my inadequate memory: A Dream; Stubborn Heart; Feminine Ingenuity; Our Day Is Here; I'll Run; Try My Love; Catch That Teardrop; Ain't That Just Like A Woman; Make Up Your Mind; And In Return; and so many more.

Nice to see so many friends there, Sue Parker, Bill Murray, Sandra Bail, Derek and Janet Watmough and many others, great to be with people who share my love for this music. I note that there is an increase in numbers attending, the word must be out. We left about 11.45 to get the bus back to Bury.

I would recommend 45 Revolutions to anyone who is interested in the lesser played sounds of our music, don't miss it!
