    Hi mate...glad you're making your first visit....its a pretty new venue for us also...this being our 3rd one. First two were good and we got a great vibe going on...see ya Saturday !!!

    DJ's ...who play to the vibe ...not to each other Dave Cartlidge Jez Jones Paul Dale Kev John John Gallagher Plus guest DJ Johnny Beggs Expect a real diverse selection of sounds....no holds barred .. Guest DJ Johnny is a past master at playing the interesting to the interested...... dont just take my word...ask around...remember the awesome Bidds Allnighters for one ?........ exactly.... An acoustically friendly venue will highlight some real deal quality sounds...and you can take 'that to the bank' !!!! A photogenic 200yr old town centre building with unique rooftop terrace ...if you like a 'selfie for your socials' then this is the place !!!

    Thanks for this @Geeselad and a valid point you raise....You've probably noticed that at some venues... not only the same rare oldies every month in some cases BUT sometimes the same rare oldies that were rare and expensive 40 odd years ago....if ever there was a good excuse to 'move on' this is it But yeah here at FTMNTC we don't go down that route....preferring to 'challenge' the ear of the listener rather than reinforce rare sounds from the past AS you know we've been doing this for years now................................

    Whether my experience was different..but from my memory....youth clubs weren't ALL about music...there were loadsa other things going on. Imagine a hormone fuelled teenager finding his feet in the world...northern soul was a small part of growing up in a youth club setting ......going to allnighters at that age is a different story.......................................

    Expect some real 'head turners from our forthcoming guest dj/collector Johnny Beggs....proper 'diggin deep' stuff. proper wow wtf is that stuff..... So with that in mind and the other lads pulling out all the stops to deliver a quality 'fest of sounds'..a real deal enthusiasts night is on the cards If the familiar is becoming tiresome...if your night out is becoming way to 'uncool'...... Join us here at this fab town centre 'retro feel' venue ......come in the waters warm and the sounds are cool !!!!

    Not content with the same 200 records played out ad infinitum ? Need more than a 'friends reunited' session EVERY month ? Interested in challenging the status quo ? Interested in diving deeper ? Then................................. Situated in a historic part of this South Cheshire town that is dominated by the strikingly timbered Lion and Swan Hotel . a traditional period coaching inn We present The Cygnet Club......a grade 2 listed building over 200 yrs old with a retro feel club space at the rear. A unique and quirky tunnel like entrance leads to a hidden gem of a venue ... ********************************************** If you like something a little different...if 'diving deeper' tickles your fancy (ooh matron)............................this is your kinda place !!!

    Set in the context of 'playing something interesting to the interested' Presented in an 'all new venue' for 2024....a grade 2 listed town centre building ..which plays host to a real atmospheric and retro style 'club' space Experienced and passionate resident/guest selectors...always looking to provide a DIVERSE mix of music.... ******************************* When you sit back and contemplate what you REALLY want from your night out When you start to question the 'status quo; thats been around for what seems forever When you just wonder...what if......? ************* Consider this... It's the difference....that makes the difference

    AS is the norm..there's a tendency to 'lookback' to the weekend on a dreary wet week I tend to lookback on the FTMNTC events with two hats The first hat being one of 'promoter' Its always important to do a lookback to ensure the event objectives were met...I think as an event we ticked ALL the boxes...the sound was on top form in the Cygnet....those THICK walls and low ceilings really lend themselves to 'loud music' and the diversity of 'loud music' on offer was off the scale...a real 'smorgasbord' of styles...the feedback from those who attended was very positive in nature...thanks all ......for attending and pulling it all together Well done Ted...he got the Cygnet 'vibe' down to a tee......and we knew he would....its no accident we asked him !!! as with ALL our guest DJ's....you'll know we dont just 'pluck' names out of the air to put bums on seats...we'll leave that to the 'bums on seats' events lol Secondly I'll put on the hat of 'enthusiast' ....I've always said (and indeed do the rest of the FTMNTC team)...this is our night out as well....we are enthusiasts also...plain and simple.... So from an enthusiasts angle the selection of music on offer was fantastic...many first time plays there and many forgotten plays.. resurrected to splendid effect.....again as an enthusiast this is just the type of venue to enjoy the diverse playlists that challenge the listeners 'ear'...its a venue that is small,.intimate but gives off a very very positive vibe as the sound 'bounces of those thick walls... The question I ALWAYS ask myself both as a promoter and as an enthusiast..is Would i have been pleased if I had stumbled across this event out of the blue....and didn't know it was on ? The answer is a resounding YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Looking forward to next month...we'll continue to have guest DJ's that get our 'vibe' ...over the year...watch this space and watch this venue
