It also transpires that several other parties were interested in booking this venue for Northern Soul events, needless to say that hasnt happened!. Not long to go to this, basically 5 weeks, the response to the avdertising and subsequent sales and purchasing of tickets, has frankly been amazing, am sure the promoters and djs alike would say thankyou to everyone for endorsing this venture...not that it hasnt been done here before, just that it different people having a go at doing it their way. Looking forward to seeing old friends, and new, there!😉👍 -
I was told that was what happened and always believed, i think its more the fact it could be suggested how the story was told to you and by who and...importantly, that they were someone who actually witnessed it...and you did!, thats all the proof thats needed....thats why its a bit of a legend. It ended up in Max's Wednesfield shop for sure, as to how long it remained there, and we're talking in terms of years, i dont honestly know...or when it was removed, or what subsequently happened to it..Eddie Shwarz ( Swoz ) probably couldve answered that but sadly he's no longer with us....and Max left us a good 10 years ago now i think ( someone will surely correct me on the exact date )

With reference to THIS forthcoming event, Russ Reeves is now the only person with any tickets as the news today, reveals the box office has formally sold the allocation so, the 250 capacity set for this dvening, has been reached!. Needless to say, if youre now hunting for one, the place to be is: THE CHURCH, THIS SATURDAY!. Bear in mind: there is NO ADMISSION on the night at Anstice without a ticket/NO pay on the door. SO, come and have a great night out with Mark, Russ and guest dj, DAVE STUBBS, and just maybe you might cop for a ticket for this big Saturday premier on April 1st😉👍🎵💃🕺🎶⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👏👏👏

WOW!, SHROPSHIRE SOULIES IN A SPRINT FINISH TO GET THOSE TICKETS.....WELL DONE!!😲😉👍👏👏👏👏👏

I was aware that coaches ran from the Cats to Blackpool Mecca, and Wigan, but not to the Torch?, obviously that wouldve had to have happened as the ad date suggests: 72, as that venue's closure was imminent ( the Cats closed maybe a year after the Torch? ) dont know of anyone still alive who did the coach trips to any of them although its highly likely there are a good many who are still with us who did just that, but personally i dont have any recollection.....maybe thats an idea for folk on this thread to fill in the blanks, give us all a better picture of what it was like and their experiences.

As has been said before, a hidden gem of a venue, great setting as well, lovely and dark, creating a condusive atmosphere...a bit like the Tardis, no giveaways on the outside but once in...low slung ceiling, perfect accoustics, and a welcoming feel, and great company and smiles from regulars and visitors alike....almost the weekend again then?, it soon comes round!, bring a few extra quid with you as well and hopefully, snap up some tickets for the Big One at the Anstice in Madeley.😉👍🎵💃🕺🎶

Getting good views!, that encouraging as a sell out is anticipated so, please obtain your tickets whilst you can as there will be NO pay at the door procedure.

A management meeting with Roger this mornkng, has confirmed the use of Talc within the premises as strictly FORBIDDEN. PLEASE respect their wishes and do not attempt to bring in, or put any talc on the dancefloor. Its not suggested there will be a bag search or other, but its probably likely and anyone attempting to ignore this, may be asked to leave the premises. We know this building in recent years, has had a fantastic refurbishment, including the dancefloor which is top notch...as a result talc or anything else, isnt a necessity and the usage of it will not be allowed.
-
Roger France has informed me that a meeting is being held at the Anstice tomorrow to discuss what beers/drinks will be supplied or suggested for the event. He advises that the issue of talc will be raised too.

Just some important information about PARKING: There is a small car park to the rear of the Anstice building. Directly across the road from the hall is a large Tesco with ample parking at the rear. It may be possible, of course, to park on the high street, not sure about dbl yellow lines or charges but presume that dosnt apply after 6pm...hopefully those details will be checked and confirmed.

Just a few pics from January's function, anyone wants to add as well, then always welcome!😉👍

Phenomenal record!, the epitome of anything he's responsible for, associated with and adopted by our scene for sure😉👍

Not enough superlatives to describe or bestow on the genius that was, Burt Bacharach...he personified that cool elegance of the 60's whilst pop went manic. So many wonderful colloberations with Hal David too, spawning unrivalled hit after hit with Dionne Warwick....and the movie scores sizzled, big arrangements for oscar winning films that brought him oscars too. He articulated with every musical genre. Our generation, in particular, he resonates with....we above all others, will miss him the most.....really? He's a great loss to ALL, and the world will never forget that, his music will stand the test of time, long after we're all gone too... Burt Bacharach 12 - 5 - 1928 08 - 02 - 2023 God rest his beautiful soul🙏

February already!, and another session of quality music across the board, something for everyone...talc is definitely a no need and no want with this dancefloor!, great response from our supporters last month, much appreciated and plenty of great pics as well. Thanks to Barbara Biddulph giving it a plug on her live stream and to Dave Thomas at Stafford fm, for featuring it in his Whats aOn guide.

Wow!, instant response, and thanks to Jayne & Barbara for already voicing their opinion, its open house now to anyone to pass their comments, so lets hear them. There is a window of less than 9 weeks to advertise to the maximum, lets create the interest. Anyone care to share their memories of this place, previous functions whether recently or years ago, photographs, flyers, the music that was played, how far youve travelled to attend or where youre planning to come from now, whether a newcomer to the scene or a seasoned soulie...all the stories and anecdotes, so everyone gets a good vibe about the event to come. The music will cater to all, not leaving any stone unturned, itll cover the genres from 60 club classics, Motown, Northern, Crossover, 70's and rnb, all part of the umbrella that we call the scene now. Roger France & Lester will no doubt add some gravitas to proceedings here, any information as it happens, will be posted here, including the all important tickets, and we'll get an image up of them as soon as we have one. 😉👍🎵💃🕺🎶⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A lot of money spent on the refurbishment of this elegant Victorian establishment. 2017 the dancefloor went in and its top notch!.
