Time to get a 'game face' on ...and sort out some PROPER classics from yesteryear !!! Fancy a summers evening drink ? Fancy a boogie to some old faves ? Fancy getting yer 'glad rags and dancing shoes'on Fancy a night out in south Cheshire Tick Tock tick tock The countdown is on !!!!

Had a few PM's about is it ticket only required ?...a resounding NO,,,its pay on the door...the club is quite roomy and would easily fit 3 figures in...we won't go down the ticket only route...your money is better off in your pocket...just pay on the door !!

One of the FAQ's of the past few events has been Q) Do I have to buy an advance ticket for this event A) No.....there does seem to be a trend for the 'larger' events to ask for your money upfront in exchange for an advance ticket and guaranteed entry Don't worry keep YOUR money in YOUR pocket until you turn up !! then just pay us £5 on the door (to go towards running costs) We WILL fit you in and you will have access to the whole public facing area in the building (inc seperate bar and lounge) PLUS hear/dance to some mighty fine music in the company of some equally mighty fine enthusiasts It really is THAT simple !!

Treat yourself to a great night out as Summer-time SOUL & MOTOWN returns to the Swettenham Club, Swettenham, Nr Congleton on Friday 15th July. Doors open from 7.30pm onwards. Entry £5.00 OTD. Featuring our tried and tested mix of all the very best-loved Soul and Motown tracks through the decades. DJs - Paul Dale, Jez Jones and Friends.

For any newcomers to this event...we are nestled just south of the massive conurbation of Gtr Manchester and just north of the West Midalnds ... Slap Bang in leafy South Cheshire !! 15/20 mins Junctions 17 northbound and 18 southbound of the M6 Still only a fiver... Still the same adventurous music policy...... Still going strong..... Still aimed at enthusiasts..... Still extending a warm welcome to those who want to try something different..... Still evolving to satisfy demand and curiousity.... Still with a top quality sound system ... Still aiming for continuous improvement...... Still no playlists posted Still aiming to provide an alternative to the traditional... Still Following the music and not the crowd..... Still providing a venue where music matters...

Make the music your focus...and NOT so much on where the majority of people are going Many events 'laud' stellar DJ's , magnificent dance floors, cheap beer, free parking ,extra comfy seats 🙂 etc etc etc ...and sometimes the music seems to take a back seat We think its important that the music played ..takes pride of place...... Upfront and Centre !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do hope to see you on Saturday.....

Right we are nearing the halfway point of the year. So far , if I say so myself, its been a revelation. Some of the sounds played in that last 6 months have been nothing short of sublime, I'm sure you'll agree . We've ALL heard something new , something forgotten, something we adore..... and something we MUST have !!!! THANKS EVERONE !!!! I'll just emphasise again.....we choose our guest spinners for a reason....we want to give you (and us ) the best musical experience that we can ..our nights out ARE important !!!! Some of the chaps AND chappesses that we bring in....may not be the familiar venue filling DJ names often seen on the 'circuit'...... However they DO bring a particular musical ethos with them, an exceptional taste in 'our' music...and a passion to play the sounds to an appreciative crowd.....................THATS US !!! Mick and Jason next up....great collections and know how to use them Expect MAX AURAL PLEASURE. ..... they will keep us on our toes...and IMPORTANTLY will reach the heights we have experienced over the last 6 months... WE do hope you can join us for our half way house event !!! Tell your chums

A belated but nonetheless relevant review on Whitchurch on Saturday night Question Did it tick all the boxes ? Oh yes, yes and thrice YES..... *.Crowd up for it * Music firmly aimed at a nighter crowd * Dj's enthusiastic and ready for action *Staff really on the ball and service with a smile . I mention that coz not everyone likes working at an all nighter esp if you don't get the ethos !!! One final thing the SWEET SPOT ...every allnighter has one....some hit that sweet spot at around 4am some earlier...its that period of time when the dancers are giving it some..the music is sublime...the atmos is off the scale............its that moment when ya think NOW THIS IS WHY I PREFER ALLNIGHTERS !!! Disagree with me if you will...but I could swear blind this hit the 'sweet spot' very very early on ...just had that feel !!! Well done to Pep for persevering, and having the 'balls' to take this on as an allnighter.....Its got it all !!! The big room feel and the Iconic venue status..... Whitchurch is here to stay !!!!!

Right this is hopefully the first of many 'Soul and Social' type Sundays we do here we are looking forward plus slightly nervous as to what this will evolve into............... 'Back to Our Roots' is a subtle twist on the fact that we started these 'type' of events nearly 5 years ago in the back room...... For those of a certain age we can go Back... over 50yrs where it was always a popular 'meeting place' and somewhere to collect 'ones belongings' prior to a that walk of 'shame' round to Hose st Anyway we aim to recreate that type of soul and social vibe that we had when we did that first one at Hartshill.....all very casual...all very soulful As a Sunday session we feel its time to move on from regular Sunday sessions in familiar WMC's with tables and chairs laid out like a school dinner hall ..... lets do summat different lets take over a big front room in a pub.....with a nice little wooden dancefloor a large tiled floor space...a few quirky nooks and crannies.... Let the FTMNYC chaps loose to play some tunes..............and away we go !!!! Free entry Free expression For those who are curious about a bit of the 'scene' history why not take that 2 min 'walk' and have a look at where it started in Tunstall for many people....always a good photo opp for those so inclined Meanwhile we do hope you can join us... !! It'll cost you nothing but your time !!

For those of you who don't know where the Sneyd Arms is...its a quick 2 minute walk from Hose St round the corner....yeah I know... I know !!! THAT Hose st !!

Lets fly the flag.... Lets buck the trend Lets rebel against the familiar Building on the back of a fantastic First session at Hartshill from the FTMNTC team where we were all 'wowed' with great music and even greater company SO............ Keeping it *** FREE *** Keeping it *** REAL *** Lets do it all again..................
