Northern Soul Spectacular

The Golden Lion sits on the junction of the A6003 Rochdale Road and A646 Burnley/Halifax Road, Todmorden. The town bridges the Lancs/Yorks border hence the postcode being OL. Todmorden js within easy reach of major cities, Manchester and Leeds as well as Rochdale, Littleborough, Bury, Burnley, Halifax, Brighouse and  Bradford.

The train station is 5 mins walk from the venue and bus station similar. Nearest free parking is at Morrison's just a short walk too.

Anyone contemplating an overnight stay...not too many facilities available, best bets being The Queens which is adjacent to the the train station and the White Lion Hotel, in Hebden Bridge about 4 miles away ( check out their websites for room availability. )

The nearest Travelodge and Premier Inn facilities are located in Burnley, about 8  miles away, which is roughly 20 minutes by car or taxi.

The Golden Lion serves food, having a Thai kitchen on it's premises. There are also several good eateries besides, serving a varied range of food. 

A little taste of what's to come for the connoissuers, courtesy of one of the uk's foremost zoologists.....and the leading rare soul auctioneer

Top tunes there, Jordan, and the Dramatics certainly picking up a lot of plays and approval for a disc that is relatively easy to buy!, just shows the cash dosn't have to be flashed to emphasize quality!

Yes you can. Tickets are for upstairs only, we'll have wrist bands on the day fot that purpose too. the limit is set at 100 anyway.

Downstairs is free all day.

Rob has Tim bought new slippers for the occasion.

Tim gave me a tour once of every Todmorden venue/pub that had hosted a northern soul night over the last 50years. Do you know if The Golden Lion has been used before or is it a new one.

Bob, if it had been i guess he may have mentioned. Had to laugh....when these folk first moved in, they decided to paint the pub yellow...unfortunately they didn't consult the council...they had to paint it white again! are you sure he bought some slippers?, he's dosn't like buying anything...if he can help!

I was thinking it's so local to Tim that he could just pop along and do his spot in his slippers.

Just a heads up:

e-tickets for this event are currently available via Skiddle ( click on the link on this thread ) or: contact Anglo American @ 01706 818604 email: raresoulvinyl@btconnect.com

You can also pay on the day but admission to the upstairs room is strictly limited, and wristbands will be applied.

For any other queries, contact Anglo American via the above mentioned facilities

Here's a couple of selections from our Agent at Anglo American, TOM DACEY. Tom certainly knows a thing or two and has the instincts of a bloodhound to spot or track down a tune, forgotten, underplayed or even underrated and can mix a set up pretty accurately as testified by numerous appearances at venues in Lancs and further afield as well. Looking forward immensely to his sets this weekend...which is fast approaching!

Er...." wait a minute ".....that'll be Billy n Ginger...but a good call!

Couple more added to the box today, nothing expensive and more than likely well known to collectors

A few more selections from Tom, great choice of music!

SAM, THE MAN!.....A few selections, doubtless our friends at Culcheth amongst others, will be only too aware of as our New resident there gets to grips with entertaining an eager crowd.

Out and about this coming weekend and indeed, looking in remarkably fine fettle too, he's sure to serve up a delectable dish of connoissuer's soul in The Room At The Top!.️️️️️

A Few selections from Billy's box, right in the main Northern Soul groove!

AND watch out for the needle dropping on these!
