Jez Jones Members July 7Jul 7 Under a fortnight to go....and just a reminder that 'Here comes the Judge' !!THAT dancefloor !!! A continuation of the super successful mindset adopted over 6yrs of the Macc Soul Club before us.Its an easy measure of success...adopting a KISS principleKeep it simple stupid !!!!Not for us playing records trying to impress the old men in the dark corners , stroking their chins and and debating ad infinitum the merits of each record !!!We endeavour to put on a night out...not create a discussion group !!!The best feedback for anyone is immediate and under your feet....easy innit !!!Keep it simple stupid...and remember who the judge is
Jez Jones Members July 8Jul 8 Just a few 'housekeeping notes and polite requestsCan we ask that if you really need to use talc...can it be kept to a bare minimum and not sprayed liberally over the floor area..it really is a nuisance for the staff tending the floor afterwardsCan we also ask if anyone wants to video the dancers can they please refrain..its important that we protect peoples privacyCan we also ask that you don't consume drinks etc not purchased from the bar..it has been brought to our attention that empty bottles/cans have been found that haven't been purchased from the venue.Your co-operation in these matters is greatly appreciated
Jez Jones Members July 9Jul 9 Now on Cheshires Silk FM further promoting and reaching a wider audience...this is shaping up to be a cracker !!with guest DJ's who have a solid focus on the floor !!!
Jez Jones Members July 10Jul 10 We are excited to welcome 2 guest DJ's who we know take 'no prisoners' when it comes to dancefloor reactionFirst up we have Jake Robson...one of the 'new breed' of DJ's who are currently having such an impact on the scene. Jake has DJ'd at the stupidly successful Room at the Top promotions slap bang in Manchester City Centre...Jake is also a familiar face here at Silktown...and has got 'our vibe' down to a tee!! When he's not DJing he's dancing...say no more !!!!Secondly we are pleased to welcome Tom Page..Tom Romark on here. Again Tom is a resident DJ along with other nationwide appearances...Those of you who dabble in the 'all-nighter' scene will undoubtedly have heard Tom in action at one of the most popular nighters in the land Rugby Benn Hall All nightersTo fill a massive dancefloor like that everytime is testament to his awareness of 'the dancefloor'We are really excited at having these two 'on the decks'...this 'package' is a surefire dancefloor pleaser !!!!Full on Northern Soul for the dancefloor.....thats the brief .....lets get on it !!!!
Jez Jones Members July 11Jul 11 The first of our 'mini profiles' of our two fantastic guest DJ's. A welcome visitor to our Silktown get together and one to surely set the floor buzzing !!!Silktown Soul welcomes Tom Page HiReally looking forward to being up in Silktown next Friday - looking forward to a great crowd and proper music heads. I’ve scaled back on DJing a bit lately, but I still love getting behind the decks when the time's right. Originally from down south and now based in the Midlands, I’ve been collecting and playing records for years, with a deep love for soul in all its forms.Expect a crate full of 60s realness, all with that raw energy and emotional punch that keeps me hooked.

Jez Jones Members July 13Jul 13 The second of our 'mini profiles' of our two fantastic guest DJ's. Another highly anticipated visitor to our Silktown get together. His enthusiasm is infectious for both the sounds and getting 'out on that floor' !!! over to you mate !!Silktown Soul welcomes Jake Robson Hi I’m Jake, I first got introduced to the scene when I was about 15 and started off by going to scooter rallies on the back of my dad’s Vespa and was instantly hooked. I only really seriously started collecting records a few years ago and was more interested in R&B. I then ran a couple soul nights and a scooter rally back home in The Lake District, but after moving to Manchester and being exposed to the all-nighter scene I’ve started collecting a lot more soul and have found a new love of modern soul.I’ve had the chance to DJ at events such as Scarborough mod weekender, sharpen up all dayer, pneumonia club and room at the top.Im currently in the middle of promoting my own night (Trackside Soul Club) in Manchesters legendary venue “The Star and Garter”. Which will be taking place 6th September.My favourite tracks to play out at the moment are: Detroit Soul - All of my life James Kelly Duhon - Pusher Man The Montclair’s - Hung up on your loveSee you on the dance floor!
