    I didn’t think I would make this event. The weather forecast was dire, fortunately I bit the bullet and was glad I made the effort. The footfall would have been affected by the weather, but the turnout was still very good, which contributed to busy dance floor and a great atmosphere.

    We arrived early, Dick Krop was playing some great tunes to a responsive dance floor; Chapter 5, The Adventurers and the epic on the four’s dancer by the Professionals ‘That’s Why I Love You.

    Tim Ashibendee was on next, playing his usual eclectic mix of great sounds, including Gene Chandler ‘Hate to Be the One to Say’. Plus, the awesome sounds of Stewart Ames and Ruby Sherry.

    Mick H took us up to the Witching hour, with some big tunes, The Salvadores, The Admirations and the Honey Bees ‘Let’s get back together’. The dance floor was bouncing.

    Carl Fortnum played some tracks synonymous with Stafford, Tempests (Bobby Paris) and Tommy Navarro (Tony Galla and the Showmen), but he mixed up a brilliant set that included the Imperial C’s  and the Vanguards.

    Hammie Hamiliton was on next with another great mix. Timeless classic oldies Eddie Parker and Paris, quality 70’s with Innersection, crossover magic, The San Fransican TKOs and a real blast from the past Johnny Henley ‘My Baby Came out of Nowhere’.

    Sean Haydon ensured there was no let-up in the quality of the music, Harvey Hearne and Al Gardner. And real marmite tune, Johnny Haze ‘Purple Haze’. Stafford echoing to a Jimmy Hendrix classic, but I must admit it sounded good.

    Alas it we didn’t stay until the end and made our apologies just after 3am to the sound of John Weston playing Syng Mcgowan ‘Loneliness is Pleasure’

    A top night of quality soul music, in a fabulous iconic venue with like-minded people.
