45 Revolutions

So, I got a bit told off on Friday for not bigging up 45 Revolutions, however I would rather let the night speak for itself than over hype it as some do... So on that note here's a word or two from a satisfied customer-- Geoff Green---

"It was a relief to arrive at the Sudden Social Club for 45 Revolutions last Friday, we'd had a miserable journey that took ages and was very cold, but the music at the club made it all worthwhile.

In addition to Alan Massey and Tony Poff, the guest DJs were Dereck Higham and John Baggaley. As usual there were some great tunes played, some I knew but plenty new to me, just what I like.

In addition to Northern, Crossover and Modern a couple of ska records were played. Not the biggest fan of ska but the two played were very good in particular Queen Of The Minstrels (Cornel Campbell & The Eternals). On the soul side plenty of good'uns: The Tight Rope (King Solomon's Advisers): Love Went Away (The Objectives); I Couldn't Take It (Little Edith); Don't Give It Away (Isley Brothers); The Hardway (Gwen Kousar); New Lock on my Door (The Kampells); Hide And Seek (Lillian Dupree); That's The Way It Is (Sweet Three); Beware Beware (The Compliments); Hello Stranger (Elkie Brooks); Save Me (Julie Driscoll with Brian Auger & The Trinity); Love Is A 2 Way Street (?Revels); Put A Smile On Your Face (E.J. & The Echoes); If I Could Only Prove To You (3 Pieces); I Know Your Love Has Gone Away (The Drapers); You're After My Guy (Clara Ward); These Memories (Almeta Lattimore) and loads more goodies. Tony played 30 minutes of oldies at the end, great tunes but my pick was Darkest Days by Jackie Lee.

It was good to see a large number of people in, the word is obviously getting around. Nice to see many friends.

Thanks to all the DJs and the hard working lady behind the bar"

Thanks Geoff Green

Out on Friday, at The Shirt if you must know, and was asked (again) how to find it...so...one more time...

Suggest entering Burnaby Street on Sat Nav or 

From M62

At junction 20, take the A627(M) exit to Rochdale/Oldham

At Thornham Interchange, take the 3rd exit onto A627(M) heading to Rochdale

Take the A664 exit toward Rochdale/A58

Merge onto Edinburgh Way/Rochdale Bypass

Cross Traffic Lights

Slight left onto Manchester Rd, Pass Rochdale in Bloom Mini on left

Turn left to stay on Manchester Rd

Destination will be on the right-Sudden Social Club

Hope this helps

So this Friday it is, we try to bring somethng a bit different to the usual battered to death oldies for your listening and occasional dancing pleasure, but I've been scratching my head as how to to make it more appealing....

I know.... Richard Hillel ain't coming
