Hoping to make this one, really nice venue and a great line up!

The genius production of Norman Connors timeless classic

Well in the middle of holiday season in what is traditionally a TOUGH month for venues. How wrong were we? A really strong turn out for the event. Some killer tunes on offer!! Nice to see some more first timers at the event Paul Baldwin and Dave Holt two quality guys responsible for the legendary Lowton Civic Hall events. Flat Top Tony was back on his old stomping ground, nice to see you back mate. The pleasing thing was the lounge area was nearly as busy as the main room. Some memorable stories and catch ups I bet!! Phil kicked off the night in fine style, some quality classics mixed in with a few tasty mid tempo dancers. Nice to see Brian Lester back behind the decks, sharing the hour with Chris Churm, after all these are the two guys whose vision and foresight started the whole event up. Some choice cuts from the boxes, Tony Hester, The Arabians, Bobby Hutton and many more!! John Hillel jumped off the sick bed to play his usual quality mix Moments "baby I want you, Mixed Feelings "Sha la la" my request (thank you kind sir) Paul Shirley followed, with an hour of so many Big Hitters Eddie Billups, Fluorescent Smogg, Magnetics, Celebrities on Boss. My turn to finish the night after a false start (the equipment had quality overload) lol we were soon up and running again and really nice to see a busy dancefloor right to the last record, many thanks it really is appreciated !! The next date for your diary is Saturday August 20th when we welcome Yorkshires's finest Mr Phil Dick, joining Simon Ingham, Paul Johnson and Chris Churm behind the decks!! As ever keep your eyes on the events page for more details!

Sometimes in the lead up to an event you get a feeling(ripple-under current) call it what you will, BUT lots of people on here and facebook were all adding their intentions to attend what looked like a great night and it didn't disappoint!! Car park almost full for doors opening and I must admit to doing a double take and making my way up to the stage 😜 Luckily Baz spotted and drew my attention to the new deck set up just below the stage. Sir Bob was entertaining the masses with as ever quality spins from the halcyon days right up to present and Yep Sharon Jones sounded the business jumping out of those speakers. Next up Simon Ingham with some monster big hitters Celebrities " I choose you" Earnestine Eady "let's talk it over" Quality R+B Thornton Sisters on Cuppy and how good does Lee Rogers sound!! Carl + Maria followed again some of the biggies that we have come to associate them with Admirations on peaches, Jackie Day "naughty boy" and the odd curve ball Jimmy Burns "I really love you" instrumental version. I had the unenviable task of following after an emotion dripped last record John + The Weirdest "can't get over these memories" Thanks to Dave Hutchy for the kind words the new deck position left it open for the deck peerers Phew think I was alright 😉🤣 Kev Murphy rounded off a great night Lester Tipton and many more. Lots of smiling faces and a busy dancefloor through out The Modern Room was as ever super busy, what a great night, look forward to August!!

Marv Junior vocals memories of the live show in 98 in Stoke just the best 👌
