Hi to everyone who was at middleton last night this incredible venue just goes from strength to strength,

it just can't get any better (can it ?) kenny thomas fantastic as expected, a brilliant mixture of music all night all rooms busy . i had the pleasure of djing in the main room which was a real buzz also it was a priveledge and an honour to play in the Carl Willingham suite and the best bit is they pay me to do what i love. best way to describe what the feeling is its like being a dog with two dicks.thanks to Mcabe for giving me this chance the guy made the decision to book me and i hope ive not let any of you down.

WE ALL ENJOYED A FANTASTIC NIGHT,ONCE AGAIN AT THE MIDDLETON CIVIC ALL-NIGHTER.

THE MUSIC IN ALL ROOMS WAS PULLED OUT OF THE TOP DRAWER......AWESOME.

THE BEST SPOT FOR ME THOUGH CAME IN THE WEE SMALL HOURS OF THE MORNING,MR NICK HACKETT....LOVED ALL YOUR TUNES MATE. :lol:

THE R & B ROOM WAS BUZZING ALL NIGHT,AT ONE POINT IT WAS PACKED OUT....SOME REALLY GRITTY,FUNKY SOUL BEING PLAYED. :wicked:

I`VE ALSO GOT TO MENTION ALEX JONES...IN THE OTHER ROOM,ONLY CAUGHT HALF OF HIS SET....BUT BLOODY FANTASTIC,WELL DONE MATE.

What can you say about this venue that hasn't already been said....

Top People, Top Tunes, Top Venue, Top Promoter, TOP NOTCH.

Not to sure if i should compare Kenny Thomas along side Edwin Starr, but the reason I'd go this far is that these are two performers who can really sing without the use of gimic's. No electronic gizmo's on vocal's for either and I'd rate Kenny's voice along with ANY top soul performer.

Really enjoyed going back stage and talking with a trully authentic and genuine guy.

If you get the chance to see him, DONT hesitate.

A message to Mr McCabe ....Keep it going mate and thanks for another memorable night.

Cheers

Craig

Oh, if Flanny reads this, you didn't get that pint in for using the turntable in the record bar.. :wicked:

soon as we arrived, the main room was the busiest i ahve ever seen it,then straight down to the R&B room,again absolutely packed :wicked: fantastic,then

they said so stayed there for the whole session,full to brim with people skanking

then back down to the r&b .........................what a night.......roll on the next!!

:wave: WHAT WITH NEW PC & BLEEDING DOOR KNOCKERS THIS IS NOW THIRD TIME I`VE TRIED TO PUT DOWN MY THOUGHTS & VIEWS ABOUT SATURDAYS NITER. WELL HERE IT IS ANDY WITH NO INTERUPTIONS. :no::unsure:

AS SAM COOKE SANG, "ANOTHER SATURDAY NIGHT & I AIN`T GOT NO MONEY, SPENT IT ALL GOING TO MIDDLETON", SORRY LAST BIT WAS MINE. :P:D

GOT THERE EARLY ( DUCKED A LEAVING THE COUNTRY PARTY TO DO SO, SHAME.) LET THE WOMEN GO IN (WIND MIGHT DAMAGE HAIR!!) & TO PUB FOR A CHEAP BEER. beer.gif WE APPEARED IN MAIN ROOM ABOUT 9:30 & I WAS SUPRISED HOW FEW WERE IN & WAS A LITTLE COCERNED FOR THE "BIG MAC", :boxing: NOT TO WORRY THOUGH IT FILLED UP NICELY THROUGH THE NIGHT & THE PLACE WAS BUZZING BY 12:30 & ALL THE USUAL SUSPECTS & A FEW MORE WERE IN. I WANDERED FOR ACOUPLE OF HOURS CHATTING AS I WENT ON MY MERRY WAY, & MUST SAY IT WAS NICE TO SIT & CHEW THE FAT WITH SEAN CHAPMAN FOR 30 MIN`S OR SO, WHAT A NICE GUY & A GENT. :wicked:

THE REST OF MY TIME WAS SPENT DOING MY SOFT SHOE SHUFFLE :dance: IN THE MAIN ROOM ( A LEGEND IN MY OWN MIND ) BUT I DID VENTURE IN THE "WILLINGHAM SUITE" TO LISTEN TO SOME EXCELLENT SOUNDS (EVEN SAW THE WIFE IN THERE) BUT SORRY IT TO SMALL A ROOM FOR ME & LIKE A SAUNA, & I ALREADY SWEAT LIKE A PIG ANYWAY SO IF I STAYED IN I`D BE GOING HOME AS A PUDDLE !! sweatingbullets.gifsweatingbullets.gif NEVER BOTHERED WITH R&B ROOM, JUST NOT MY THING, BUT MATES SAID IT WAS BANGING TO. :dance:

ALL Dj`s IN THE MAIN ROOM WERE EXCELLENT, THEY NEVER FAIL TO PLEASE, :D CARL FORTNUM (WHERE`S MASON THESE DAY`S? JOKE) DID THE BEST SPOT I`VE HEARD HIM DO HERE, SAM ONCE AGAIN EXCELLED, JOHN "SPAG" WESTON (TOTALLY UNDERATED) WAS ACE & MOLLY DESERVES A MEDAL JUST FOR THE MILEAGE HE PUTS IN & ALSO THE COUPLE OF EXCELLENT SPOTS. BUT FOR ME THE STAR WAS THE MAIN ROOM VIRGIN, THE FLAN MAN (FLANNY) WHO WAS JUST SUPERB!!! :wicked::wicked::lol:

FINALLY TO TOP IT ALL, THE "BIG MAC" DELIVERS US "K.T." (THOUGHT GAIL HAD SAID KFC, SO I WAS LIMBERING UP FOR CHICKEN IN A BASKET!! blush.gif BUT I WASN`T DISAPPOINTED) NOW LIVE ACTS AREN`T MY THING USUALLY, :no: BUT THIS GUY WAS GOOD, IN FACT HE WAS VERY GOOD & I`M GLAD I HUNG AROUND TO ENJOY HIS PERFORMANCE & THAT OF HIS DANCING GROUPIES TRACY & CLAIRE IN THE WINGS BACK STAGE. :dance: :dance: YOU DID GOOD ANDY. king.gif

SO THAT`S YOUR LOT, SET OFF HOME ABOUT 6:30 AS WE HAD TO DROP OFF A FRIEND, EXCEPT TO SAY I MANAGED TO BREAK MY TOOTH IN HALF DURING THE EVENING, SO NOT ONLY WAS IT A GOOD & EVENTFUL NIGHT BUT A BLOODY EXPENSIVE ONE ALSO, AS CROWNS AREN`T CHEAP (SODDING DENTIST`S, EVEN DICK TURPIN WORE A MASK!!) :lol::thumbsup:

SEE YOU ON OUR NEXT SOUL ADVENTURE, TAKE CARE & BE SAFE, :wicked:

SPOT. :shades:

Had a fantastic night. Long drive but my third time at Middleton after a long break on the scene, so the proof is in the mileage!

A nighter that has everything for me, good venue, three rooms of good music to mill about in, good company, oldies, underplayed oldies, rnb, tries something different. Too tired to comment more...

Thanks to everyone who signed Trev's 50th birthday card, he was chuffed to bits.

and it went down a storm.So another very busy weekend over i think there were 19 venues advertised on this site alone ,and add to that richard searlings 4 room king georges hall 11th anniversary only 20 mins away and it looks like most folks went exactly were they wanted to go.So all the doom and gloom talk seems premature as most venues seem to have been fairly full.Our next nite is 10th march so if you want to come along you will be very welcome and if you fancy one of the other excellent venues on the same date have a good one were ever you go.

SOMEWHAT BELATED, BUT A HUGE THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO SUPPORTED THE CARL WILLINGHAM SUITE LAST WEEK AND AS ALWAYS RESPECT TO OUR BRILL DJS.

AS THE SKA SETS HAVE REALLY TAKEN OFF WE INTEND TO INCLUDE A SPECIALIST DJ AT EVERY SOULTOWN EVENT. OUR NEXT GUEST WILL BE MANCHESTERS OWN KING BEE, LES HARE.

CARL AND I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO RID OURSELVES FROM THE SHACKLES OF ONE GENRE OF MUSIC BUT STILL WE ARE PERCEIVED BY SOME AS A MODERN ROOM. THE IRONY BEING THAT SOMEONE COMPLAINED WE DIDN'T PLAY ENOUGH MODERN LAST WEEK!

THE CARL WILLINGHAM SUITE EMBRACES ALL GENRES WITH THE EXCEPTION OF R+B AND MODERN SETS ARE PLAYED ON A REGULAR BASIS BUT NOT EXCLUSIVELY. WE DON'T EXPECT EVERYONE TO LIKE ALL THE MUSIC ALL NIGHT AS IT IS SO DIVERSE BUT PLEASE CHECK OUT THE DJ LINE UP WHICH WILL GIVE YOU A CLUE AS TO THE TYPE OF SET THEY WILL PLAY.

WATCH OUT FOR SOMETHING COMPLETLY NEW IN MARCH, POSSIBLY THE FIRST TIME AT A NORTHERN NITER !

REGARDS
