Lowton Civic Celebration Alldayer - Culcheth, Warringt

Thanks Mike for that, I'm thinking the Mayfield Singers instrumental was played NYE 2000/01 and the vocal 11 months later?, from the review of the night though it seems Irish Greg was the one that played it 👍

If I'm right Greg was playing the vocal version and Dave Flynn was playing the instrumental, The Mayfield Players???

However - I'm reliably informed by Dave Holt that Bob is indeed correct in the fact that Chris King played it first at one of the NYE nights either '98 or '99.

Lowton released a Anniversary CD with the instrumental credited to the Bob Hinsley Strings

You'll do better than that girlie, in good company...you know the ropes😉👍 X

A solid selection of DJ's, many with long histories with LOWTON CIVIC HALL now booked and looking forward to, what is shaping up to be a very special night early in the 2025 Soul calendar...

Looking back but also looking forward with some of today's popular DJ's on the scene, a prime example being Natalie Nichols and Alan Jenkins, bringing the enthusiasm found at the Midlands/Wolverhampton Friday night venue, 'Woolfies' to Culcheth on the 1st Feb

I felt honoured to be in such good company as some of the other classic cover up names like The Phantom Janitor, Syder Turner & The Webs, Robert L Martin etc..😂😜🤣 Do you think he was taking the p?🤔

LOWTON had one of the most popular Modern Rooms in the country and Modern has its place with the monthly Modern Room at CULCHETH. That continues with Modern Soul, All Day in Room 2, with the ‘Do with a Do’ as it’s become known. Starting with Pete Ratcliffe and his ‘Review of 2024’, showcasing vinyl releases from last year. After that, the groove continues right through to 1am in Sunday morning and including a special session on Saturday afternoon featuring ‘Modern Soul Memories’ from the dancefloors early Modern Soul scene, watch this space…

Baz, I see Saturday afternoon is modern soul classics, this one always packed the floor back in the day, played off the Rise of the Phoenix LP and still sounds fantastic.👏

I love the abstract colour arrangement - you should take this up professionally, much better than the ashtrays made out of records Rob IMHO 

A function wouldn't be a function without Classic and Quality oldies...there a myriad of instances where great tunes aren't getting prominence...or perhaps that's for the good?, stay fresh, still have resonance with folk...the ' i haven't heard that for a good while ' incidence...

Sure it would be greatly appreciated if mine modern room hosts would put together a modern montage for on here?....So Soulful 70's thru the now sound, an eclectic selection of past and present....c'mon team...lets have a room 3 deposition!😉👍🎵💃🕺🎶

Can't wait Kev - I literally was reminded that next year is the 30th Anniversary - wowser!!!!!

I shared this earlier with Kev Murph and thought it would be a great memory for this event thread too - I think this was his first appearance as a DJ at Lowton? A piece of history either way 

Kev and Dave = Kev Murph & Dave Holt, also what a line up for that night eh!

(BTW) I love the footnote - limited to 550, says it all doesn't it)

Yes, will be good to catch up. Due to work and other stuff I have not been to a soul night for a good while so can't wait.

I really can't wait either mate. Have drifted a little for one reason and another so it will be great to see you all again.

Girlie tunes on the way !!!! That might be a novel idea, a full set of female singers only  

AND....For good measure, as a modern room is of the most essential, a selection of classics, across the board....and remember all bases are covered from the 70's through to state-of-the-art new releases, currently pounding the dancefloors!😉👍🎵💃🕺🎶

Hi Kev, I usually joke with Simon that he only plays records by vocalists with big (I usually use a naughty word here}. so the girlie tunes are a big thumbs up from me.👍

Great selection there Rob, but the AOE copy of Brand New would have Mr Plumb reachin' for the yellow card 😉😆

I didn't realise Plumby was a trained NS adjudicator I'm now worried about my own selections for the Anniversary event 🫣

Ahh, the joy of Modern... all in the mix Feb 1st
