Just an update: The original decision to go with just the downstairs room has been reversed in light of the obvious interest shown by many people...and it looks like a good many will be attendingfrom literally all 4 points on the compass, hence the necessity to make as much space as possible, available to accommodate an expected bumper crowd so...it music in 2 rooms!, twice as much...and still for exactly NOWT!😲😊👍

THE MAN, GINGER TAYLOR, will be with us on the day all being well. It goes without saying he's been hugely missed on the scene, i'm sure we all wish him well as he progresses in his recovery from a debilitating illness, we're all in his thoughts too. This function is a co-opt between himself and Tim and it's become a quarterly event...the last 2 have been extremely busy. The sound system downsrairs is effectively surroundsound ( cinema style!) with speakers strategically placed all round the room so everyone can hear the music!😊 Ray is aiming to play some tunes which, if he's up to it, will be brilliant for all concerned, we just ask that people PLEASE give him time and space...it will just be great to see him out. Ray will certainly appreciate everyone's support for this event...so lets all make it EXTRA SPECIAL for him😉👍

THEE venue, and the Main instigator, and his principle selectors of quality soul, this saturday night: PHIL DICK, PAUL HAYDEN, ADEY RUSHWORTH & the" Detroit encyclopedia " RUCHARD ' GILLY ' GILBERT what a corking line-up, expect to hear nothing but THE VERY BEST SOUL MUSIC THERE IS! 👏👏🎵💃🕺🎶😉👍💥⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Anyone thinking about a stopover, particularly if faced with a long drive home, here is a list of recommended accommodation, all within a suitably short radius of the event.😉👍

A selection of satnav references for Hotel/bnb accommodation in lieu of the forthcoming event and the anticipation traveller may require a stopover. Alas, one thing Todmorden does not have is a surfeit of is Hotels, though the Town sits on the confluence of 2 major roads leading to the industrial towns of Rochdale, Burnley, Halifax and Brighouse....all with in a half hour radius of the Calderdale venue. I've included suggestions as thus, prices will be variable, check their websites for details and availability. Tod is naturally, serviced by a bus and railway station for those looking to save on a car journey as well.

This event is already creating a buzz, watch out and listen as the advertising is ramped up over coming weeks, a lot of folk genuinely interested and the calendar as it stands, hopefully will prompt folk to pick this event as their Bank Holiday Day Out selection. The Golden Lion will almost certainly be open for no later than mid day, and fingers crossed, we get some nice weather with it too. The Downstairs room is a very extensive area with speakers placed predominately so the music can be heard, wherever folks are sat. PLEASE arrive as early as possible, if travelling by car, so as to obtain parking, there are a number of streets where it is free but spaces are limited. There are metered car parks close by at: The venue sits aside the A6033 ( Rochdale Rd ) at the convergence of the A646 ( Burnley - Halifax road ) the nearest motorway junction is J21 M62 at Miln Row, Todmorden is signposted from there. Also if approaching from North west J9 M65, via Burnley. From the North east, Brighouse J25 M62. Regards parking arrangements: Oxford St - Dale St - George St - Lever St - Union St - Shool Lane - Rose St - Bramsche Sq - Brook St and Dalton St can all be found astride the Halifax Road A646, less than 5 mins walk from the venue Note: these are ALL metered car parks, parking is relatively cheap ( £2 maximum fee and all are FREE after 6pm ) Todmorden Train Station also has a metered carpark. There are limited FREE PARKING spaces in Hall Lane and Rise Lane. As usual for this purpose check satnav positioning to locate where to park. We could suggest Morrison's or any of the other supermarket car parks in town but for time restrictions, so..best advised not to really.

Guest djs confirmed for this event include: A very special appearance by Solar Radio presenter, Blackpool Tower & Wnter Gardens promoter and Wigan Casino icon, RICHARD SEARLING, with memories of ' Soul Up The Hill ' @ The Bay Horse, Todmorden. Ginger's longtime dj partner, EDDIE ANTEMES will be sharing the decks again as part of this tribute. JORDAN WILSON & CAROL McCARTHY, complete the assemblage for the day, bringing their own choice of quality tunes to bear on proceedings AND....MR. TAYLOR, the architect of all soulful things in this wonderful outpost of Northern Soul in Calderdale, will also be overseeing this occasion too!. A change to the itinerary as we speak as this function will now consist of the whole DOWNSTAIRS room....but it's still a completely FREE event!. Hopefully, that will be all the inspiration you need to make this penultimate Bank Holiday, a very special one! I'll update the event image in due course. Will also get some youtube selections on here from the djs concerned.

BOUGHT you lunch??😲🤣🤣

Yet another from this lady, getting spins.. And a Casino Classic, barely heard these days...

Another frantic paced tune! A touch of Grumpy Soul..

Nice rnb...

Post a few possible selections up👍

Yes, Monsieur Maleedy pointed me in the direction of this and an Arctic boxset winged it's way too Leeds. East Lancs sc is having it on 26th July, followed by Clarendon in Wolvo and CVH, both in september😉👍
