Jez Jones 1,132 Posted June 7, 2022 Right this is hopefully the first of many 'Soul and Social' type Sundays we do here we are looking forward plus slightly nervous as to what this will evolve into............... 'Back to Our Roots' is a subtle twist on the fact that we started these 'type' of events nearly 5 years ago in the back room...... For those of a certain age we can go Back... over 50yrs where it was always a popular 'meeting place' and somewhere to collect 'ones belongings' prior to a that walk of 'shame' round to Hose st Anyway we aim to recreate that type of soul and social vibe that we had when we did that first one at Hartshill.....all very casual...all very soulful As a Sunday session we feel its time to move on from regular Sunday sessions in familiar WMC's with tables and chairs laid out like a school dinner hall ..... lets do summat different lets take over a big front room in a pub.....with a nice little wooden dancefloor a large tiled floor space...a few quirky nooks and crannies.... Let the FTMNYC chaps loose to play some tunes..............and away we go !!!! Free entry Free expression For those who are curious about a bit of the 'scene' history why not take that 2 min 'walk' and have a look at where it started in Tunstall for many people....always a good photo opp for those so inclined Meanwhile we do hope you can join us... !! It'll cost you nothing but your time !! 1
