The Connaught Hotel Fri 6th July


Recommended Posts

Northern soul / Motown night at The Connaught Hotel main ballroom in Wolverhampton (A41) on Friday 6th July with resident DJ's Hitsville Chalky , Craig Westwood and Phil Richards.

Special guest is Kenny Onions.

The ballroom has a huge real wooden sprung dancefloor.

There is a large chill out area adjacent to the dancefloor with record dealers.

Running from 8 pm till 1 am admission is £5.00.

It has a well balanced mixture of classic Northern Soul and Tamla Motown through to lesser heard Detroit classics and big money originals and a light sprinkling of modern / crossover. No politics whatsoever. The emphasis is on an enjoyable night.

As you are well aware the no smoking ban comes into force next month but if you fancy a cigarette there is a raised patio area with tables to the front of the hotel so we will probably introduce a hand stamp or similar if you do want to quickly pop out.

Hey Chalkie and Phil I did say "at least" two sets - I didnt say they would be the only blinding sets played :thumbsup: - or who would play them whistling.gif

Chalkie - Should it be that I don't catch you here on Friday (which will have me crying in my pint somewhere in the country), I should see you at Ross on Wye on the 14th mate :excl:

Keep up the good work ..... Ohh and the faith too :thumbsup:

All your Oldies! - must have been some fair sized removal van to take that lot away :thumbsup:

Keep a close on her my old mate, I bet she's stashing some away while you read this :excl:

Whooooaaa!

Calm down Suzychef. Names on the flyers and playlists. I'm sure you'll make it as an international DJ one day like me but its a bit early for all that yet :yes:

You concentrate on cueing up the records and using the mic, should be a good laugh.

Looking forward to later.
