  1. Looking forward to the next instalment....apart from the sparkling wit and repartee of the people there....the music aint bad either !!
  2. SMASHED through 3000 views over already !!!! Maybe an idea to get there as early as poss... could be a packer on the cards !!!! Dont forget we're in ONE BIG ROOM tonight....massive capacity though..... PLUS an International class dancefloor and the associated 'big room acoustics' so prevalent in these big old atmospheric dancing establishments from yesteryear Swinton's BACK WITH A BOOM !!! and ready to WOW you !!!!
  3. For those that like a list....I've done one here --------- the record 'selectors' from 8pm right through till 7am !!!!! 8pm -9pm - - - Brent Howarth 9pm - 10pm - - - Jez Jones 10pm - 11pm - - - Stu Hutchinson 11pm - 12 - - - Taz Robathan 12 - 1am - - - Dick Kropniewski 1am - 2am - - - Pep 2am -3am - - - Ted Massey 3am - 4am - - - Nige Brown 4am - 5am - - - Ethan Howarth 5am - 6am - - - Pete and Sue Stone 6am - 7am - - - Dave Rimmer Your nighter is in safe hands with this gang !!
  4. because 'Northern' is the catch all term for a majority of stuff when we go out. It may or may not be 'pure' northern....but lifes too short
  5. Actually I'm not sure there is an appetite to categorise anymore esp after the pandemic.....yes its a 'fractured' scene in genre description and attendee expectations....I think it will be a long long time before the 'scene' gets de-constructed to the nth degree and then follows the de construction.....the soul police are thin on the ground ....Folks know what they like and know where to find it ......without following the 'rulebook' This is only a personal observation...personally cram as many different 'genres' in as you want for me ....without resorting to wyoming speed garage or Columbian horn pipe 🙂
  6. Not for us a tired and uninspiring playlist of the same 100/150 records regurgitated monthly in a different order to give the impression of variety !! let me expand a little:- a recent edition of a well known rare soul price guide listed ...... 15,000 different artists with approx 80,000 titles. So you see, there's really NO excuse is there ? If you're an enthusiast ....its out there if you look 🙂
  7. Such sad news Mick....RIP Smokie and condolences go out to friends and family.....Another 'good un' gone 😞
  8. would you ? lol 🙂
  9. Gonna be difficult to answer that...not sure there are any 'charts'.of 'top DJ's..if there is who compiles them 🙂 dj's themslves ? lol 🙂
  10. Allnighters are your preference ? MIssing a 'real deal' Allnighter fix ? Missing the 'cut and thrust' of a real atmospheric venue ? ******** WELL SWINTON IS BACK *********** ************** BIG BALLROOM BASH ************ __THE ONLY ALLNIGHTER IN THE NORTH OF ENGLAND THIS WEEKEND__ DON'T MISS OUT..... SWINTON ....It's where it's at !!!!
  11. I love a spectacular !! 🙂 jesting apart we have a great time at these do's no holds barred northern soul and motown.....boxing night at knype club !!!!!

  13. Not for us a tired and uninspiring playlist of the same 100/150 records regurgitated monthly in a different order to give the impression of variety Not for us a 'bar culture' where people are more interested in congregating around the bar and need to be 'seen on the scene' .....rather than listening to the music Not for us the 'Northern Soul A Way of Life' approach ....we are just enthusiasts following our hobby and sharing with other enthusiasts nb Any similarities to any current events you may know is PURELY COINCIDENTAL . The examples described above are entirely for demonstrative purposes and bare no relevance to any events we know and the characters are not based on real people, What have we got then ? A 'Bespoke' event designed and presented for the enthusiasts out there....... Collector/DJ's combining to present a somewhat 'fresh' promotion of sounds that cover the underplayed, rare,, rarely played, forgotten plus a 'shake' of the new....and an occasional dusting off of a 'classic' I'm sure you'll join us in welcoming Simon and Amanda Cottrell to our little FTMNTC soiree Simon and Amanda ,are of course. a 'driving force' behind the fabulous Empty Bottles Allnighter in Leeds . They can also be found attending and DJing at many of the more 'Progressive' events up and down the UK and sharing their eclectic taste in soul music with us all It is 'out there' if you look...............
  14. Yes mate..long time no see

    I wrote this last week ...probably just as a little reminder of what we're about ...a 'raison d'etre' if you will Here at FTMNTC we have a success criteria revolving around what comes out of the speakers.....Quality tunes of whatever ilk and era. We are lucky in the fact we don't need to focus on attendances, bums on seats, bods through the door.......thats NOT what we do this for... You may have noticed the #musicmatters .....thats how simple it is !! WELL WE TICKED EVERY BOX...well done to EVERYONE that made it happen . You worked hard and this was the result Special mention goes out to our guest DJ/collector Mark Jones...some people just slot in as if they been doing our night for ages....Mark did that in spades..... .....thanks all I had a great night !! Well after all that...we are 'straining at the leash Can't wait till next month when Simon and Amanda Cottrell are gonna spin some ditties for us

  21. Blimey Kev this is getting popular , you've got over 2,800 views now....I hope you got enough tables and chairs in !! .....
  22. Yeah thats fine...you are correct...i was a bit dismissive with the dates.....i'm still to be convinced now in 2021....that we are not going to an 'old folks disco' though...'Cocoon' anyone ? 🙂 .....but I digress...sorry ....'Nobheads at events' ? Nobheads in supermarkets, Nobheads in car parks , Nobheads in pubs , Nobheads in airports..........the soul 'fraternity' hasn't got the monopoly i'm afraid 🙂 🙂
  23. Oh dont get me wrong it this 'disco behaviour' is bloody infuriating ......it pissed me off at 30.....really really riles at 60 . Its become a sorta mob mentality...a phrase that we use is.. they need to be 'seen on the 'scene' Scene is a 'loose' word but will suffice. Being quiet and unobtrusive in a dark corner listening and enjoying rarely heard soul music.....is not summat to brag about to ya chums !!!
