Geeselad 2,148 Posted April 12 Many venues posture as underplayed, and what you get is rare oldies, the same rare oldies every month in some cases. You will hear something new and different at this venue! 1

You will hear something new and different at this venue! Thanks for this @Geeselad and a valid point you raise....You've probably noticed that at some venues... not only the same rare oldies every month in some cases BUT sometimes the same rare oldies that were rare and expensive 40 odd years ago....if ever there was a good excuse to 'move on' this is it But yeah here at FTMNTC we don't go down that route....preferring to 'challenge' the ear of the listener rather than reinforce rare sounds from the past AS you know we've been doing this for years now................................

Jez Jones 1,129 Posted April 20 Johnny Beggs DJing time is 10.30-11.30pm...don't miss It promises to be a corker
Geeselad 2,148 Posted April 21 I've been a regular at this event over the last few years, and I've seen some amazing guests, and heard fantastic music. Without a doubt Johnny Beggs has to be the very best I've heard. There were just so many total exclusives in one set, of such high quality and variety. This guy was just on fire. Hoping to catch him at the 100 club later this year. Hitch a car or your motorbike, run, walk if you have to cause John is.... Well just just have to hear this guy! He really is that good 1 1
