Saturday June 26th sees the last Bury Virtual All Nighter as we all hopefully look forward to getting back to live events. Respect to Simon for having the vision and drive to create what has become a bit of a cult following and kept us in touch with each other and the music which is what is was always about with the basic ethos, created at Bury,quality Soul Music regardless of monetary value. Baz M has summed the whole experience up perfectly, hope you can join us on our final instalment of what has been a hell of a ride, in the words of one of our regular DJs Ian C "peace and love and happiness" !! Hi one and all, just to let you know this Saturday sees the last of the regular, monthly Bury Town Hall Virtual All-Nighter (BVAN) online sessions. Having run from March 2020, through all the various lock downs and welcomed over 4200 members to the Facebook group, set up to publicise the events, we have decided that it’s time to plan for the return of the BURY TOWN HALL ALL-NIGHTERS. So, the resident DJ’s invite you to join us THIS SATURDAY 26th JUNE on Radio King and Mixcloud for the last BVAN weekly show. The show will run from 8pm through to 2am (maybe later) and will feature some of the sounds you’ll hear when we get back to Bury, hopefully, very soon We would like to take the opportunity to thank all those people who have ‘tuned in’ to the BVAN shows, it’s been fantastic! Special thanks to all the people who have joined in the various ‘chats’ on Radio King, Mixcloud, Facebook and Soul Source and all the people who have posted a superb selection of music on the Bury Town Hall Virtual All-Nighter Facebook group. Last, but not least, thanks all the DJ’s who have entertained us with top quality tuneage over the past year and a bit In the meantime best wishes and STAY SAFE The BVAN Team

She looks amazing "don't you care anymore" a personal big fave from the early years at Wigan

Yeah Bury VAN has been the mainstay for a lot of people,never staying the same,different themed shows every month keeping it fresh.Looking forward to NYE for the "best of Bury" Some great output on the vinyl front,Russell Paine at Super Disco Edits has also unearthed some top drawer unnissued 70's soul,long may it continue!! and agree Pete,hopefully not too much longer before we get to go back out again!

Really enjoyed last night,blinding set from Tomas!!

c\u as just brothers,wouldn't know if the true artist was known at the time

Pretty certain it was acetate only,only recently found on master tapes as the sharpees

Pretty Certain came to Richard first via Soulbowl,he sold to John Vincent.Then Butch made it a monster

I have a VG copy of Jesse Johnson "left out" with a stress mark half way across,the price reflected that.It plays with no issues,so all good.

OUCH!!
