Or from Russ in due course.

Fantastic looking venue, inside and out, capacity 250 approx

A lot of money spent on the refurbishment of this elegant Victorian establishment. 2017 the dancefloor went in and its top notch!.

AND....the Male half of the dj roster for the night, The Church's resident sermon deliverers: MARK DOWNING & RUSS REEVES.

Looking forward to playing at this fantastic venue. And what a dancefloor. Something for everyone From popular Motown And Classic Northern Soul.  Not forgetting those fantastic  Tunes from the 60s and 70s. Might be a few new to you tunes that'I'm sure will get those feet tapping And get you on the dancefloor. I'm sure it will be a night to remember and hopefully the start of many. Requests welcome if we have got it we will play it. It's your night and we want to make it as special as we can x

Looking forward to playing a few at this wonderful venue

Can't wait 

A brilliant venue really looking forward to this 

fantastic djs so it will be a fantastic night 

Wow!, instant response, and thanks to Jayne & Barbara for already voicing their opinion, its open house now to anyone to pass their comments, so lets hear them.

There is a window of less than 9 weeks to advertise to the maximum, lets create the interest.

Anyone care to share their memories of this place, previous functions whether recently or years ago, photographs, flyers, the music that was played, how far youve travelled to attend or where youre planning to come from now, whether a newcomer to the scene or a seasoned soulie...all the stories and anecdotes, so everyone gets a good vibe about the event to come.

The music will cater to all, not leaving any stone unturned, itll cover the genres from 60 club classics, Motown, Northern, Crossover, 70's and rnb, all part of the umbrella that we call the scene now.

Roger France & Lester will no doubt add some gravitas to proceedings here, any information as it happens, will be posted here, including the all important tickets, and we'll get an image up of them as soon as we have one.

Tickets are on sale for this event, contact The Anstice box office for purchase, Roger France or Russ Reeves who have some also. Limited capacity 250 so, snap them up quick, this is a ticket only event, no admission on the door without one.

Just some important information about PARKING:

There is a small car park to the rear of the Anstice building.

Directly across the road from the hall is a large Tesco with ample parking at the rear.

It may be possible, of course, to park on the high street, not sure about dbl yellow lines or charges but presume that dosnt apply after 6pm...hopefully those details will be checked and confirmed.

Roger France has informed me that a meeting is being held at the Anstice tomorrow to discuss what beers/drinks will be supplied or suggested for the event.

He advises that the issue of talc will be raised too.

A management meeting with Roger this mornkng, has confirmed the use of Talc within the premises as strictly FORBIDDEN. PLEASE respect their wishes and do not attempt to bring in, or put any talc on the dancefloor.

Its not suggested there will be a bag search or other, but its probably likely and anyone attempting to ignore this, may be asked to leave the premises.

We know this building in recent years, has had a fantastic refurbishment, including the dancefloor which is top notch...as a result talc or anything else, isnt a necessity and the usage of it will not be allowed.

Ticket sales for this dvent are going really well just now, if youre thinking of attending please contact: reception@theanstice to make purchases or contact: 01952 567230 between 09:30 am - 15:00pm

Alternately Russ Reeves will have some for sale at the forthcoming soul night at The Church, Crewe Street, Shrewsbury on Saturday February 25th.

If anyone wants to post any memorabilia on this thread regarding previous soul events, pictures , stories or even tunes from youtube, please do so....share the soul, the love and the spirit, this is Shropshire's big night out!, ️️️️️

WOW!, SHROPSHIRE SOULIES IN A SPRINT FINISH TO GET THOSE TICKETS.....WELL DONE!!

It also transpires that several other parties were interested in booking this venue for Northern Soul events, needless to say that hasnt happened!.

Not long to go to this, basically 5 weeks, the response to the avdertising and subsequent sales and purchasing of tickets, has frankly been amazing, am sure the promoters and djs alike would say thankyou to everyone for endorsing this venture...not that it hasnt been done here before, just that it different people having a go at doing it their way.

Looking forward to seeing old friends, and new, there!

COMETH THE HOUR.....4 x djs, 5 hours of tunes, requests at your descretion!....a fantastic setting and we're hoping to see a packed dance floor, throughout.
