Lowton Civic Celebration Alldayer

Room 3 Rare and Underplayed 60’s 70’s Soul and Crossover

During its 20 plus years, LOWTON CIVIC had a rich history of pushing the musical boundaries not only in the main room with an exception guest DJ list but also in the two back rooms, with everything from the very sadly departed, Pete Coulson’s R&B sessions to a brief flirtation with Soulful House. But it was the ‘Room With a View’ and the superb DDA sessions hosted by Paul Sadot, Joan Livesey and the late, must missed and much loved Karl Rhodes along with their guests, who made such an effort to be a part of these back room sessions…

The LOWTON back room sessions became the inspiration for the Kenwood Suite at the BURY TOWN HALL ALL-NIGHTERS, which in turn was continued and kept us all sane during lockdown as the Bury Virtual All Nighter online stream broadcasts.

We are pleased to confirm that the Rare and Underplayed room at the Anniversary All-Dayer continues that ethos and many of the DJ’s involved in some of those brilliant sessions as well as some new faces will be digging deep into their collections to bring you an unrivalled selection of rare soul sounds from the 60’s and 70’s

Some great nights in the Kenwood Suite, which ended up outshining the main room, such was the quality of the music and yeah fond memories during a dark period via The BVAN sessions, including recording a live session or two at Simon's, remember Pete and our Anthemic opening record? Great memories!!
