Classy Rhythm and Soul from the play box of Simon Ingham!!

Taste maker Simon Ingham, will be digging deep into the boxes, bring you the rare and seldom played in equal measure. A Detroit gem that's lived far too long in the shadows of it's more expensive to buy label release. The group had three releases on Valtone, file under rarely played dance floor dynamite!!

Luci Jones has been tearing up the dancefloors at places like "The Gathering" with this little underplayed gem, that has been kicking about on lists at not very much!! I've always rated this, hard hitting Chicago gem. Hear it "live and loud" on December 9th yesss please!!

Sooo many quality records from those Saturday sessions mate

So much more to come mate, coming to you live, Proper!!!

Next up our resident "taste maker" Simon Ingham and a record ready to have it's day in the sun, from a prolific artist, with so many of his recordings finding favour on the soul scene!!

Should be some quality music in the main room, from a top notch line up. Here's one that's gathering a lot of interest!!

Staying with Joan's selections, a Mecca Classic, that's stood the test of time!!!

Request for me from Jumping Joan!!

Looking forward to a Christmas Cracker, at this great venue, after the recent near sell out night for the Grumpy takeover. Expect some more Rare Soul gems, forgotten oldies and so much more. With a great line up to boot, what's not to like!!

Our end of year, pre-Christmas Special, another blinding line up for you. Roger Banks making a welcome return to the area, as he lived and DJ'd in the area late 80s, early 90s, memories of Hyde Botanical Club, Hyde and Droylsden all Nighters. Jumping Joan is another Ashton debutant DJ, bringing the heat, with a guaranteed high octane soul music for the dancefloor. Luci Jones has been turning a few heads of recent with Funky Edge/Hard hitting soul music, again aimed squarely at the dance floor! Team Ukrainian, "fixer" and non too shabby DJ Simon Ingham will be back behind the decks, with some classy rare soul and as always championing the cheaper and underplayed gems!! Lots of people already booking overnight stays locally for our finale night. We aim to finish in fine style, with 2024 just around the corner and more quality DJ line ups in the pipe line, see you there!!!
