Culcheth Soul Ted Massey Soul Sam

What a follow up to the Anniversary!, with Ted back in Action and a Soul Sam reprise..both rooms looking to be rocking again...definitely a great kick start to March..Culcheth, leading the way into 2025!

Ted is always a popular choice with the Culcheth crowd, and along with Sam in the Modern Room, we are showing why Culcheth is intent on keeping the Rare Soul flag flying high for those that want something a bit different for their Saturday nights out   

CULCHETH continues to stamp its mark on the North West soul scene for those who want to hear the kind of music that excited us week in week out, that invited us to travel all over the country to hear the kind of music you couldn't hear anywhere else and sent us searching to find that latest 'big' record!

Who better than TED MASSEY and SOUL SAM to carry the torch as they 'ply their trade' in the Rare Northern and Modern Rooms at CULCHETH on the 1st MARCH...

and there's more    

Baz after last months 22 DJ, 3 Rooms, 12 Hour Marathon, I'll bet this months session is like a walk in the park, having said that you always make it look easy.

Bob, we took on the challenge of seeking out all the US and UK sleeves Tim had at the warehouse and put them all in order, maybe took us 3 weeks. In demand they are especially OSO easy peasy for the likes of Banks or Dyson when theyre down in Tod.

Nice one OSO (Original Sleeve Only), I take it you didn't call them Birth Sleeves in front of Tim, he'd have thrown you out.

If I'd known you were there doing that I'd have come over and helped you out, as you know I don't mind rolling my SLEEVES up. 

I'm here all week.

Yes Baz, looking forward to seeing him and hearing his set, hopefully he's on the mend as well, sure we all wish him the best in that respect. Saw him just recently at the Clarendon in Wolverhampton where he played some cracking tunes!

Our SPECIAL GUEST on MARCH 1st is none other than possibly the scenes busiest DJ, TED MASSEY! Now there’s a reason Ted is sooo busy, ‘Soul’ people want to hear and dance to what he plays…Simples! (either that or see what wild shirt he’s wearing this time out ) No it’s definitely the music and that’s why he’s always welcome at CULCHETH when he plays records like The Shades ‘Hit It’ Les Chansonettes C/U, Arin Demain ‘Silent Treatment’ The Antellects ‘Love Slave, the brilliant Arthur Griswold ‘Pretty Mama Blues’ and the superb James Lynn Marsh ‘You Made a Mistake’ So treat yourself and DON’T MISS THIS
