Dont forget this little gem Jessie

Here's a post from the Golden Torch group on Facebook this week...

Colin Curtis recently wrote... I was 16 years old it was 1968. My friend had pestered me to go to this club as they played the music I liked. I went alone as he was not available it was a wet wednesday night I was wearing a yellow jacket purple flared trousers and brown suede shoes ( Yes I was dedicated follower of fashion NOT ) . I went on the bus and then walked towards the club passed the busy chip shop and around the corner. THe throbbing of the muscal beat hit me straight away, i was soaked but didn't care the musical beat drew me in. I paid got a few funny looks and went to the downstairs bar, it wasnt busy but I didn't care. Chubby Checker Cum A La Be Stay, Flavor Sally Had A Party , Mitch Ryder Break Out , Billy Preston Billys Bag , Wynder K Frog Green Door, Sly & The Family Stone Dance To The Music , Homer Banks 60 Minutes Of Your Love , Charlie Rich Love Is After Me ,Bobby Wells Let's Copp A Groove , Arthur Conley Funky Street , Bill Cosby Little Ole Man etc I had entered the inside of my head ! I was already doing Soul nights at the local Mecca and Mobile gigs locally but this was different this was underground it was hidden it was dark. I got home to a roasting and grounding from my parents as I was late in with school the next day ! This didn't deter me I climbed out of the bedroom window to return the following night and walked the three and a half miles back to the club more appropriately dressed and I I turned in to Hose Street it was silent, I hadn't checked but soon realised that it was closed on a Thursday But I didn't care my friend Keith Minshull was right this place was special and it became even more so ! I had found my Soul Heaven !! It Was The Golden Torch !! Tunstall Stoke On Trent !!! What happened from then until 1973 is history now thanks to Keith Minshull & Chris Burton !!

Steve Mancha has track with same backing as this . 

Gonna be the ultimate blend of rare soul a nod to the legendary clubs from the halcyon days and the best of current floor fillers add to that room two and the cream of modern soul AND Colin Curtis weaving his magic in both rooms, a night not to be missed and the only date in 2021!!
