Awwww thats a real shame. This is a great little venue----I, to my shame, only went the once BUT I found it to be a real friendly place with a great range of music and with it being a smallish venue , a very personalised approach, which I think is great --especially on a first time visit.

Very very good work PD very good indeed

great memories John. It always seemed like military exercise in those days--Every Saturday jump a train to Manc Picadilly and spend all day record hunting in Ralphs and Spin in and anywhere else where there might be a 'sniff' of soul lol--wasn't there an outdoor market(as well as the indoor market) where there were stalls and stalls of 45's(possibly towrds Strangeways end?)--not all soul but the occasinal gem on British could be unearthed Hitch a lift home calling in at various shops en route---Lekkermans in levenshulme? did a cracking range of Ben shermans and harringtons for free...... Oh and nearly forgot --a local shop to us was Bewes in Burslem where Mr Minshull was selling the wares. Breeden and Middletons in Crewe as well?? ...and another Cath Jones's in Sandbach----many a happy afternoon skiving school and digging around in there in the late 60's

Well you did pinch his milk bottles of his step on a Sunday morning----bit of a bummer really, considering he was wanting to make a welcoming brew of tea for Mrs Shadrock on her return from the 12 hr night shift down on the coal face at Silverdale Collery

Just a long shot this. I was wondering if anyone had a knackered unplayable copy of Dr Love to donate for charity as part of the 2010 Torch reunion. It would be used as a prize on the day-----long story--- but we would be most grateful if any kind 'soul' has one battered copy that is of no use to them and would consider donating it many thanks for this regards Jez

oh there'll be loads of stories. you will be made very very welcome at the Reunion and we hope you enjoy it. It should give you a little snap shot of the passion, the people, the DJ's that made our little soul club in Tunstall so special and yer dad was a very special part of the whole thing see you and yer bruv on the day
