the old fashioned play list
Not a big fan of playlists...it does nothing to enhance the event....in my opinion Its great for DJ's to show off their 'wares'...but not so good if you are trying to fill a venue in 'realtime' Have you thought of going out to a venue to listen to what is played ? and thats with respect...wherever poss I try to get to 'new' events when I can to sample whats on offer

AS we welcome in 2023 and we look forward to some more of those FTMNTC nights that we've come to enjoy over the past few years....we just wanna confirm our entrance price REMAINS the same We're all aware of the rising prices with energy increases and the cost of living..it goes without saying events big or small aren't immune to these rises. Other events may have to increase the entrance fees to cope We at FTMNTC believe our entrance fee is FAIR and is gonna stay FAIR Don't forget ... It aint about bums on seats for us It aint about packing the venue for us It IS about enjoying a wide variety of quality sounds in the company of fellow enthusiasts in a venue with relaxed vibe ...enjoying an evening out doesn;t have to be that difficult !! We;re fortunate in that our success criteria is measured purely on the quality and range of music we hear.... Its OUR night out as well...and if it was 'poo' we wouldn't go lol

Keele All-Nighter
5 star rating without question..... Myself and my travelling companions Geese and Kev John had an epic time...ticked all the boxes for what a quality allnighter should be in 2023 A discerning crowd gave this an atmosphere that would be hard to beat anywhere Its venues like this where 'our records' sound their best....a quality 20k in house sound system that is prime for nighter sounds...it really is !!!! Well done Pep...the bar is set high now...and the crowds love it !!!

DJ's blending the expensive with the not so expensive...and dare we say..cheap !!...NO FEAR We should remember how GOOD it is before we remember how CHEAP it is. Otherwise we'll fall into the trap of spending hundreds of pounds on records that are designed to impress other collectors, rather than continuing to do the thing that brought us onto the scene in the first place -buying great soul dance records. Guest DJ Tim Ashibende a master of the art

Just a polite reminder :- We've had a polite request from the Cricket Club. Can we restrict the use of Talcum Powder. They understand that some people do like to put talc down..HOWEVER it gets ingrained in the floor and the cleaners have difficulty in removing the talc. This club is very popular and is indeed booked out 2 or 3 times each weekend plus in the week and its unfair to expect the next group to put up with a talc laden room The club appreciate your co operation in this matter and look forward to welcoming friends from far and wide this Friday, for an absolute cracker of a night !!! If you feel the desperate need to use talc , I am sure there are other events that would welcome it thanks

Guest DJ Butch FTMNTC
Just a few words about Friday night....One of the 'perks' of being a co-promoter of FTMNTC is you get to hear REALLY diverse music, not only from the residents BUT from the guest DJ's also. Friday it hit its peak imo ..obviously the sublime selections from Butch rocked the very foundations and rafters.....a promoters dream....clock off for a couple hrs and join the enthusiasts in enjoying some of the finest tunes this building has hosted !!!! Well done mate There was a spillover from the 'butch effect' (is this a new psychologists term ) but the residents pulled out some corkers...well done chaps...... Music first ? Yes indeed front and centre !!! Its heartening for me to see my fellow promoters enjoying the fruits of their labours..which included an atmosphere to die for !! This goes for enthusiasts also that packed into the room some that travelled from the other side of the country (Yes Mick Donnelley thats you !) and whom many have been when we haven't been quite so busy but enjoy the ethos The whole building was utilised and the bar manager estimated a whopping near 150 were in... .... I say with confidence....this REALLY was one of those 'you had to be there nights' WELL DONE EVERYONE...thanks to you lot I had an absolute spiffing night out..do hope you all did I went to sleep with a grin on me face that night...did you ?
