Not played mine for years but sure it's OK and not off centre x

Might be an idea to check the stage for any rogue items hanging around before Roger's on. Remember when he was on in Carl and Maria's room at Middleton, and he came steaming onto the dance floor with an upright vacuum cleaner in full Freddie Mercury mode 😂

What a shock, and so sad x

WHAT. A. NIGHT. I won't leave a 'starred' review, as I think that's for you guys to give if you so wish, but jeez, talk about blown away. Since covid put an end to things, we've been thinking about putting something on but always wondered if anyone still wanted it. I think last night showed that you do. People were getting seated half an hour before we were due to start, with a full dance floor shouting for more after the last record was played at 2am. Amazing. Massive thanks to Baz for asking us to take over for the night, and to our DJs Carl Fortnum, Lenny Harkins, and Kev Murphy for not putting a tune wrong. But the biggest thanks goes to you guys, you make Grumpy what it is, and you're all flipping brilliant 🥰

Thanks Baz, at last it's finally here! Lenny and Co are on fire and on the train as I type, Carl's doing his vocal excercises, Kev's toying with his which side gets an airing dilemma, and Phil's just tempted the Grumpy cat into his holdall, so it's all systems go. There really is such a good buzz about tonight, and that's down to you guys. See you all later

This thread has everything - Michelin level culinary delights, audio selection possibilities, the shocking revelation of Lenny airing his washing line hopping in public, the insider swoop on Carl gargling with honey and lemon pre-night ritual (expect a song or three), Phil has already surpassed double giddy status, and Kev might buckle and be tempted over to the b side 😲 Add to that all the texts and calls we've had from people really looking forward to a Grumpy get together, and you have a long overdue pilgrimage of like-minded souls from all corners heading to Culcheth village hall. Good uns the lot of ya!

Oh yes, there'll be plenty to go at Saturday night. Carl, Lenny, Kev, and Phil will bring the rare, the fabulous, and everything in between, yours truly the cheap and cheerful. So expect your favourites, your rarities, your exclusives, your one-offs, your classics, but above all expect quality. It's going to be great!

He didn't ring Mick, he staggered back in after two hours looking like he had been wandering lost in the desert for a month 😂

Really looking forward to this, as are quite a few I hear which is brilliant. Been a long time since the Grumpy faithful got together, can't wait For those who have never been to a Grumpy shindig, it's just great tunes, all night, regardless of price. Carl will bring you everything you can think of, plus a great singing voice. Phil raises the bar in both stature and quality. Lenny is an all round good egg with more than a cracking tune or two, and Kev professionally fills in any kinks or dents in the proceedings. Most importantly, you guys bring the phwoarrrr. What's not to love!

Happy birthday Lorraine

Have to say I really enjoyed listening to that. Some songs were stronger than others but none were bobbins, far from it. Sounds like it would have been great to be there, fantastic atmosphere.

Ian Darrington, founder and organiser of Wigan International Jazz Festival, delivered a talk for me at Wigan Museum on Friday. It was so interesting, and he played some of Mica's music which is great. You'll receive a warm Wigan welcome Mica! 😍
