Guest Ray Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Well that's it then. Another year gone by and were still at it. Chris and Dave will mention elsewhere what is happening in the upstairs room but my understanding is that they have an outstanding line up of DJs to play on this night. Playing in the main hall will be our original DJ line up of Dave Evison, Keith Minshull and Gary Taylor. Guest DJ is Paul "On The Scene" Metcalfe [yes him from the magazine that is so hard to get hold of]. For the first time we are also having a live performance at a regular soul night courtesy of Johnny Boy. "> Link to comment
Guest Ray Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 And there will be a free anniversary CD for first 300 or so in. This is for the ones [like me] who prefer "oldies". Just collected them today. I believe Chris has done a sample CD for those who prefer something different [hope he's saved me one I'm starting to learn to like the upstairs selection]. Not bad, eh. 5 hours, 2 rooms, 9 DJs, 1 live act and possibly 2 free CDs. It's still only £5 each on the door. Link to comment
Guest Ray Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Keith "The Badge Man" will be with us for those in search of memorabilia. Link to comment

Upstairs has been crying out for something to give the event another angle and hopefully Chris and Dave have arrived with the solution. December was done at short notice so there was not enough time to get the word out properly. I think Chris turned that around on BBC Stoke when he turned it into the Nantwich Soul Show! Regardless, I remain and "oldies" fan but keep an open mind. Never hurts to learn. Link to comment
Guest Ray Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 For those with some of their Christmas money left over there will be record sellers as well. Link to comment
Chris Anderton Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Guys, We all love oldies! Thats never up for question....Just that the upstairs room will be playing tunes to contrast with the main room. Of course everyone is welcome and the promise of a free Cd for anyone venturing upstairs will hopefully turn a few people on to some great 70s/crossover soul....after all, its all soul music...!! I have posted out 30 CDs to the people who requested one from My radio Stoke spot and they seem to have gone down well so far. There will be a few record dealers in the upstairs room too this month, Gary Holman always has a box, Cliff and Val from Northants will be there too and i`m even tempted to bring a couple of boxes myself. See You there... Chris Link to comment

Anbody out there any good with a camera that works well in dark rooms, we need to capture this night. Link to comment

I`d say that was a given Ray...had a few calls from people who are interested in the oldies room but their better half is more into 70s/crossover, or the other way around.....at Nantwich.....everyone is happy!

Guest Ray Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Final post on this one for me. I've lost a DJ. Sounds careless when it's written down but Paul Metcalfe has just had a car accident [he' OK] so unless some kind person can give him a lift down from Fleetwood we've only got 8 DJs left. Bearing in mind over the years we have had two police raids (once for allegedly holding a vicars daughter against her will) and two bomb scares in the vicinity. Plus all the usual road closures, misinformation and diabollical weather conditions we will press on regardless and deliver the best night out we can. Thanks to everybody who has ever been to a Nantwich Night Train event without your fantastic support this event would never have got off the ground of kept on going for 12 years. Link to comment
