Looking at the thread, there really is some amazing rare and modern soul in the offering tonight, can't wait... Everyone welcome, see you later

Only fair that after 'showcasing' our suave MAIN ROOM spinners earlier in the week, that we should do the same for the devilishly handsome MODERN ROOM boys

Soooo lokin' forward to Saturday especially if Mr Cunliffe packs this Casino memory in his box... The Phantom Janitor In Da House in all its original glory...BOOM!

Just in case you didn't know who's who, here's a pic of the motley bunch of dedicated vinyl spinners assembled for this coming Saturday Tim, Si, Ian, Bob, Robbo and Baz...

For Sure at Whitworth Street Mick, plus MrM's and he championed it as a re-activation at the SAINTS club in St Helens during one of his many guest spots there A Steve Smith favourite as well, as I recall

Detriot Supremecy...One for Saturday just for those who like it..

A real deal rarity in its original format and one from Ian's playbox that just ooozes quality. A real memory jerker and one of those records that'll always be know as one of the keys to the establishing the scene

Ahh, yes Bob that wasn't lost on me, so to make amends how about this, one of our favourites if memory serves...

Another great selection from Ian's box for Saturday, loved by the Northern and Modern crowd alike...Lookin' forward to hearing this played out

One from Ian C Real Soul for Folks Who Feel Soul...

Looks like CULCHETH resident Simon Ingham has been adding to the playbox recently, so I'm pretty certain this gem with be getting a spin on Saturday https://youtu.be/WQ9Q_epCePE?si=SXcKZrNq9BkYJElp

Here's a real quality tune, that you'll only hear played at certain venues, simply because of its rarity. Sharing the same backing as the Whispers, The Dip, I first heard this played by our esteemed guest Tim Ashibende when he played at the Shirt Club in Radcliffe a while back and it went straight on to the 'want's list...Looking forwar to hearing this on Saturday

Great story Bob...

Quality all the way from Ian C on the 5th with this coverted Rare Soul dancer

Here's one that's both RARE and UNDERPLAYED, Mr A has promised to give this a spin on the 5th

Great chioce Bob, one that's cutting through the crowd on it's way to becomming a favourite with many...Another early doors spin at Culcheth strting to make its mark

One from me, returned to the playbox in memory of Kev Murphy.... A record he chased down many moons ago, which became a favourite of his and a regular spin at Lowton, great taste from a much missed friend. Xx

There's a great thread on here at the moment looking at the 'best lp only Northern Soul tracks' https://www.soul-source.co.uk/forums/topic/460093-best-lp-only-northern-soul-tracks/page/3/#comment-100240112 Gotta say there's one guy who's always featured great, underplayed tracks from albums and he's joining us at Culcheth on July 5th A TIM ASHIBENDE RECOMMENDATION... Wonderful!

Sometimes it’s better to let others to tell you what’s what. In this case, it’s from a review by Mike Roche from June’s CULCHETH event and at the end of the review Mike states quote; “For Soul fans and aficionados, a fabulous night from start to finish. The kind of night that reminds you why you fell in love with this music in the first place.” So, all I can say is, if that’s the kind of soul night you are looking for, we’d love to see YOU on July 5th What's Happening...With a selection of great DJs every month, CULCHETH main room has already made its mark, playing mainly 60’s soul with everything from classics, rare platters, underplayed selections featured by all the DJ’s and a selection of great 70’s thrown into the mix for good effect. So, you’ll hear records you recognise, some you may not but will definitely want to hear again, just like you did when you started coming to soul events, and as Mike says,”Why you fell in love with is music in the first place!” July 5th we welcome one of the scenes’ most charismatic and knowledgeable guys, TIM ASHIBENDE! When it comes to passion for the music Tim has long been up there with the most dedicated. From Wigan to Stafford to Today, Tim was there and still is a talisman for great, rare soul music, all you need to do is listen to his guest sets on Dean Andersons ‘Sound of Soul’ shows or hear his DJ sets across the North West Next up on the 5th is ‘local lad’ DJ, long standing collector and all round good guy, IAN CUNLIFFE. Ian will be celebrating his 71st Birthday on the night, that’s going to make a for a great night, so if you know Ian, come and say hello…If you know Ian, you’ll know his play selections will, as always, be absolute QUALITY! With no horses spared, pulling from our resident DJ’s list we bring you two guys, who for years have been a permanent fixture on the rare soul scene BOB HINSLEY and ROBBO. Over the past 40 years these two guys have DJ’d at some of the most influential venues ever and bring a wealth of MONSTER tunes as well as some brilliant, forgotten oldies. The bread in this ‘soulful sandwich’ comes in the form of BAZ MALEEDY at the start of the night and SIMON INGHAM at the end, ensuring a great night of quality, soulful delights! Check back to our Soul Source JULY EVENT listing for more info and updates Miss This, Miss Out!

Noticed this great underplayed record on a recent Mick Howard playlist, hopefully it'll get a spin on Saturday as it deserves more attention IMHO
