Liljimmycrank Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 (edited) What a night in store we have for you this month!!! That Driving Beat Leeds welcomes Manchester's top club Beat Boutique over for a YORKSHIRE Vs LANCASHIRE SPECIAL!! For those who dont know about the Beat Boutique, it's run by Liam Quinn and Paul Barker , both of whom have ecclectic tastes in soul and run their club in that vein, capturing the enthusiasm they share for this great music and moulding this into a thriving monthly event! Liam & Paul will be representing Lancashire on the night and pitting their witts against That Driving Beat residents Azza, Rich Buckley & Eddie Wainwright, the YORKSHIRE BOYS! (Well Rich is a Welshman but adopted into the Yorkshire flock). If that wasn't enough, you'll also be treated to an eagerly awaited debut guest spot from 100 Club's very own......... ADY CROASDELL!!! Ady will also be a neutral judge for the war of the roses hour So for an exciting night of QUALITY across the board soul music, including northern, R&B, 70's soul, Motown, Funky soul and a twist of Latin, get yourself down to The Wardrobe in Leeds city centre. This really is one NOT to miss!! Sunken wooden dancefloor, amazing sound system and top atmosphere - what more could you want?! All delivered on original vinyl. We're looking into putting a bus on from Manchester so PM if you're interested. That Driving Beat - YORKSHIRE Vs LANCASHIRE SPECIAL @ The Wardrobe, 6 St Peters Square, Leeds, LS9 8AH Special Guests: Ady Croasdell (100 Club), Liam Quinn & Paul Barker (Beat Boutique) Residents: Rich Buckley, Eddie Wainwright & Azza 9.30pm - 2.30am, £5 entry Check out lookbacks for previous events.

Rich Buckley Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Right boys and girls, for those coming across from the red rose county a few have expressed an interest in getting a coach from Manchester city centre, so after a bit of digging we've managed to source a 24 seater and if we fill it we can offer everyone aboard the Beat Boutique love bus the bargain pricce of £15 return from Manchester which INCLUDES entry to the night in Leeds. By our reckoning that's a saving of at least £7 each compared to if you caught the train. Details to be confirmed but provisionally: Coach departs Manchester Picadilly train station at 8.30pm Friday 30th April and goes directly to the venue in Leeds. Return coach departs the venue at 2.30am (when the night finishes) and goes directly to Manchester Picadilly train station. Providing we fill the coach the price will be £15 per person which includes entry to the night. We'll need a deposit of £10 off each person prior to the night. Please contact me or Arron by PM on here or via: richard.buckley@itv.com 07919 560 808 arronadams_azza@hotmail.com 07968 174 086 Please leave contact details including a mobile number. We'll get back to everybody once we've sussed out what the interest is like. Cheers, Rich Link to comment

Maark Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Having thoroughly enjoyed the last one, I wanted to come up from 'The Rose of the Shires' (That's Northamptonshire ) to declare myself the winner but plans have been scuppered. If you've not been here, it's well worth a visit. Link to comment
Ady Croasdell Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 How come I'm not on the team? Born and three years in Sheffield, five in Rotherham before being whisked away to Derbyshire. I've got Wilfred Rhodes (most first class wickets ever, started out as a number 11 and ended up opening for England) and Headley Verity's (10 for 10; say no more) autographs too! I'll be bringing my records too! Link to comment
