Jez Jones 1,130 Posted May 9, 2023 Don't worry, you won't be burdened with an Oldies playlists * No seemingly never ending rare and expensive record focus.... * No contrived emphasis on 'youth club classics' in a vain bid to satisfy a DJ's ego with a full dancefloor .we aim to play as wide a range of music as possible....ask the regulars....really they'll tell ya !! no dwelling on the past as though its a cult...we up and at em !!! A very well respected and renowned record dealer states in his PRICE GUIDE 700 pages of pure information, covering approx 15,000 different artists with approx 80,000 titles. Yeah you read it right!!!!!! **....80,000 titles we wont play all of em obviously its impossible ...but am sure you'll agree there's plenty go at !!!!!! ** .....open the windows there's a breath a fresh air coming in...and it sounds glorious !! 2023 and its time to shine !!

Jez Jones 1,130 Posted May 16, 2023 7 hours ago, Kev John said: .....just a few days to wait now ! music quality assured .... Quality assured ...definitely....the range of music on offer goes way beyond the chains of the Top 500 1
Jez Jones 1,130 Posted May 17, 2023 A 'Bespoke' event designed and presented for the enthusiasts out there....... Collector/DJ's combining to present a somewhat 'fresh' promotion of sounds that cover the underplayed, rare,, rarely played, forgotten plus a 'shake' of the new....and an occasional dusting off of a 'classic' I'm sure you'll join us in welcoming Carl and Maria along with Bob to our little FTMNTC soiree. The quality of music and range on offer has just got a whole lot more enticing !!
Jez Jones 1,130 Posted May 18, 2023 Not for us a tired and uninspiring playlist of the same 100/150 records regurgitated monthly in a different order to give the impression of variety Not for us a 'bar culture' where people are more interested in congregating around the bar and need to be 'seen on the scene' .....rather than listening to the music Not for us the 'Northern Soul A Way of Life' approach ....we are just enthusiasts following our hobby and sharing with other enthusiasts Its 'out there' if you look
Jez Jones 1,130 Posted May 18, 2023 some 'logistics' info....for those travelling by car from out of town. Once the venue car park is full..there is plenty of roadside parking outside the venue and surrounding roads Alternatively...there are 2 car parks approx 5 mins walk from the venue Antrobus Street, CW12 1HB West Street, CW12 1JR
Kev John 2,831 Posted May 18, 2023 Quality assured a bit of Xover on the cards this Saturday.......! 1
Jez Jones 1,130 Posted May 19, 2023 Musically no restrictions as per norm and expect the 'usual suspects' to be playing the sounds and on occasion !! We intend this to be very social...and our regulars will tell you .. we don't take ourselves very seriously..but we DO enjoy the music. If you're looking for a nostalgia event where you can be transported back to the halycon days of the Wheel, Torch, Wigan, Mecca etc... then this aint for you......besides they tell me the toilets are too clean nowadays......!!!!
