And they said it was ' just a bit of fun '....ffs, why don't we all do the okey cokey as well?...when in Blackpool eh? There'll be mad rush for cowboy boots and stetsons next.. -
OBVIOUSLY, we're aware of the fact there is now a clash between this event and one 20 miles away in Whitchurch...however, we're undeterred as am sure our loyal and regular supporters are...16 great years of Soul Music in Shropshire's Capital, and STILL ploughing on undaunted, still churnkng out diverse playlists, still employing local guest djs as a opposed to big names and STILL attracting newcomers from all areas....a great and friendly atmosphere, superb dancefloor and a very unique setting...which is exactly WHY folk check us out!! If you've not been before then we promise a top night and believe you will return again! Keeping it REAL, in Shrewsbury...home to THE CHURCH✊️✌️😉👍🎵💃🕺🎶⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Line Dancing at the Tower this weekend, as scene on fb....thoughts anyone?

Martha & The Vandellas - " I Will Follow You " appeared on a 33 rpm 6 track card picture sleeve mini lp or jukebox single if you like....effectively a 45...but not! A thunderous tune, fantastic orchestration and Reeves belting out the lyrics. Personally, never seen it come up for sale, have the album though. Assume it got played at Stafford quite a bit but, that being a long time ago now, its probably forgotten by the vast majority.
Yes, there is that as well👍
Yes, surprisingly some of previous auction valuations haven't been realized here so, maybe some stabilization and sanity being restored....or is that a false dawn? L.Allen a shocker for me...bought off Butch almost 20 years ago, paid £400 then...the Tamangoes really takes the biscuit though...8 grand?...without doubt one of the greatest Northern Soul tunes of all time, the price is staggering....bearing in mind pretty much everything of note is an antique....i wonder if its been bought by a dealer who is just that....because that time is upon us and those breed of people will price many out of the market
Brilliant!, great player was Jeff...top company that night then, wherever it was😉👍 i would never have realized West Brom's legendary striker was a soul man, he obviously had taste..god bless him.
Who's he with?, sorry for asking.
I think the classic photographic reference to Carl, which i'm sure many will have seen, is the one of him with his girlfriend, stood facing each over on the parapit of the Mander Centre, bit of a hair raising balancing act but, our generation did stuff like that, as easily as climbing trees ( without any aids like today's elf n safety regs ). Bkack and White pic too...can't beat retro!. Personally, and despite being familiar with the name back then, ive never met him.
Hi Mick, Sorry, couldnt remember his surname correct. I went to his house once, i think i bought some tunes off him too. Yes the first shop stood on Lichfield street just across the road from the Grand theatre, but a bit further up from the coop building, then moved to the corner of Lichfield and Stafford st...thats when it became Sundown i think ( used to be Graduate records, there was also one in Walsall ). When he djed at Sammies or any other dj for that matter, and particularly the all nighter they were invited to take part, and everyone else used their equipment!😁 Phil's was pretty top notch for the time as well, Citronic i think. This thread is about Carl...who hasn't commented or maybe isnt aware of it, instead we're talking about someone totally unrelated to the Catacombs ad.
Carl would more than likely have known him as well, probably bought records off him same as many of the other well known west mids djs...Wolvo had its places the same as Birmingham did.
Well, he wasn't a porn star, thats for sure, even with the nickname ' Chunky ' 🤣🤣 when i was at Wolvo polytechnic, spent literally every lunchtime....and Saturdays at Sundown, its inital premises had a basement room....thats where phil wouldve been....all those new releases getting played at Mecca mid 70's you could hear them in this shop, he was on the ball in that respect.
Phil Sumner, great bloke and dj, mobile like everyone else at the time, lots of bookings including our youth club St.Giles ( Sammies ) even did the all nighters there, worked in Sundown Records on Lichfield St. Wolverhampton....got all the new releases, much in the way Ian Dewhirst wouldve done in the 70's, very knowledgeable bloke and a good laugh, lived in Sedgeley, not far ftom Dudley. Even had the honour of doing a spot at Manchester Ritz all dayer when Neil and Richard ran it first time.
A big welcome back to ever popular soul connoissuer, STEPHEN CHURCH. current resident at Strictly Crossover soul nites at Bradmore Social in Wolverhampton, Ste will be bringing his usual refined blend quality soul music to the dancefloor, a heavy slice of modern through the decades to compliment and evening encompassing all things 60's through Motown, Northern and rnb. Lots of views already and a bumper attendance anticipated as the Spring/Summer break approaches. As slways, looking forward to seeing our regular loyal following and a good many first timers too, as is slways the case. Be early to get your seating and a space on the dancefloor!🎵💃🕺🎶😉👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Without doubt, now the most popular and highly anticipated Sunday event on the Calendar!, this will be the 11th time it has been held...always the climax to the Month of July. 7 years running, hotel accommodation has SOLD OUT, well in advance and as of today, very few rooms are available so, the advice is...dont sleep! Alternately, recommended places to stay outside of the Dunk have been mentioned prior to previous events...check the SITP website for details. A stellar line-up of djs across 3 rooms, bringing the very best of soul music, past and present, to the turntables, trade stalls will be present too. 3 licensed bars and restaurant ( dinner can be booked but reservations limited ) The Dunkenhalgh Hotel and Spa is situated just off J7 M65, and within easy access of M60,M61, M66 and M6 networks... Plenty of parking available ( car registration at reception for permit )- 4 comments
