Just when it looked as though we'd fallen into the same old rare / expensive records schtick that bores the sh*t out of everyone ...
-
Goes nicely alongside this little ditty ...
-
Still love this and it might get an airing at some stage on Saturday
-
Love to hear the flip too Baz. Unadulterated Detroit filth!
-
100% Joan! Kev all the way and everyone will want to pay their own tributes to a really special bloke for sure. I can picture him dancing to this so it'll definitely be coming along for the ride ...

A very recent JM auction item and an old Keb (I think) c/u .Joan's been playing top quality records for approaching forty years but never blows her own trumpet, so I will.
-
Might blow the dust of this while I'm at it
-
Love a rare record n all that but ... ... the late, great Jim Wensiora's 'Sapphires'
-
Carl might have this little ditty with him
-
No probs Si I rarely leave home without it. As my Grandad used to say: spectacles, testicles, wallet and The Prophets

We try hard to get guests with great records but who you tend not to hear much in the NW. As Joan says then, we're dead chuffed to have lured the legendary George Sharp back behind the decks. George has been a rock solid supporter of GS from the get go; more importantly, he is one of the people whose playlists had a real impact and influence on us all those years ago. Promises to be another really good night and it's a bank holiday too of course

More awful news. RIP Ted
-
Not our usual fayre as Joan says but really looking forward to us digging out and playing a mix of records spanning the decades and, hopefully, something to suit all tastes. Most importantly of all of course, it's helping to raise funds for a fantastic cause! Be great to see some familiar faces
-
Really sad news. The single biggest influence on my own rare soul listening and collecting habits over 40+ years. I won't be the only one either.
-
A great lad and a great friend. Just unbearably sad news. Like so many, I'll miss him very much. RIP Murph x

RIP Phil. A genuinely nice fella x

Yeah, one of many 'cheapies' that've been GS plays from the get go too Baz. One of thousands of really high class things that needn't cost a fortune. What it's all about By way of an added bonus, there's a chance you might hear Joan's much punchier, extended mix acetate if you come on Saturday. Absolute class!
-
I suspected you might have it too Ady. Really looking forward to seeing you and hearing your records mate. Two Jimmy Gresham's (not to mention anything and everything else on Teri De) floating around then. It'll be rubbish
-
One of Carl’s that Baz; unbelievable record! Nearly as awesome as his Mott the Hoople cover up
-
Tra-x original vg+ or better PM if you can assist cheers Phil
-
Told you! PMSL.
-
I'll take that with me Baz (never a hardship playing it to be honest LOL) It'll be the usual [Grumpy] script record-wise, i.e. the full shooting match: unissued acetates, 10-20 quidders, proper oldies, things you've maybe forgotten about, rarities that you're less likely to hear out very often and a smattering of high class crossover. Not an 'oldies' night, not an 'upfront' night, just a proper soul night. If it's good enough and danceable its in mate
-
Couple of weeks to go. Proper, old style, no B/S night. Expect high quality soul records, a buzzing dance floor and great atmosphere from start to finish. We’ve always tried to book guests who have great records but aren’t on everywhere. Ady fits the bill perfectly

Really enjoyed last night. Thought the music was a good mix and enjoyed catching up with a few folk I hadn't seen for ages. Bit of a slow burner initially but filled up and there were plenty in and dancing by 9pm. Thought the sound system was a million times better than last time I went too Missed most of Phil's early set but what I caught was great; Willsy played a really nice mix of high quality sixties from Wigan onwards; Tim has forgotten more than most and certainly I know about soul music and his selections were as innovative, eclectic and well thought-out as you'd expect (e.g. playing the 'right' side of Gene Chandler); Joan just never plays a bad record (JJ Barnes, absolute class!); Chris has some cracking stuff and is also one of the nicest blokes around. Nice to play a few records I rarely get chance to, over and above the same old, tedious, expensive rarities, e.g. Jackson Bros - gotta hear it, Miracles - if your mother, Garnet Mimms - prove it, Pal Rames - can't deny the hurt, Don and Juan - heartbreaking truth etc. Thanks again for asking us. Next stop Grumpy Soul 2nd November. Out twice in the space of a month, jeez!
