Pauldonnelly Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 (edited) with 34 day left until Tunstall ‘rocks again’ to 10 hours of Torch records it is with some disappointment that we feel the need to reply to rumours, rumours and even more bloody rumours regarding THE TORCH REUNION 1-The Torch Reunion is being held at The Ryan Hall - The Boulevard - Tunstall - Stoke on Trent ST6 6DW and has NOT been moved to the Sneyd Arms Hotel Tunstall apparently due to poor ticket sales. Only last week Jez had a one hour meeting with the Ryan Hall committee to ensure we are all singing from the same hymn sheet come the 24th Oct 2009. We have been sold out for EIGHT months, there are NO tickets available, please don’t travel to The Ryan Hall if you have no ticket. 2-It has also been suggested by some that Ian Levine is calling the shots dictating what others can and should play etc, etc Please clear out your lugholes and listen.... BOLLOCKS, COMPLETE AND UTTER BOLLOCKS. He like the other dj's are fully aware of what the day is about its not about Ian Levine its not about Malc Burton, its not about Colin Curtis its about YOU who made The Torch the awe-inspiring venue it became. It would naive not expect some duplications of records during the evening session however to compensate our first 5 hours of entertainment will be supplied by well known collectors who had the privilege to have visited The Torch as paying punters, they've been asked to dig deep and play some of those underplayed/forgotten Torch records, some of which may be completely new to some ears The afternoon boys have all picked three records that they want to play within their thirty minute sets which they have shared with each other to avoid possible duplication, I guess this is possibly where the "someone’s calling the shots" rumour has possibly come from. The DJ;s have one brief...PLAY TORCH RECORDS!! End of FACT. 3-Finally we understand that someone is considering a similar themed soul night close to The Ryan Hall on the same night, if he does indeed go ahead Malc, Jez and myself sincerely wish him all the best, in fact if he would like to email us we’ll send him over a list of names and email addresses of 46 people from all over the UK who are on the Torch Reunion Ticket standby list who I’m sure would be delighted just to be part of the “Tunstall feeling” that night even if it is at another venue For those of you out there who are unaware of what Charity’s will benefit from the Torch Reunion @ The Ryan Hall please feel free to visit our website https://dkof.freewebpages.org/Torch%20reunion/home.html In fact we've already made one donation to the FREEKICKS FOUNDATION For those out there who are lucky enough to have tickets and are planning to meet up at HOSE STREET @ 1300hrs at the site of the old Torch read on...... As the Ryan Hall is in close proximity to Hose St we strongly advise you park up near to the Ryan Hall, the venue for the reunion. Ryan Hall is situated on the corner of The Boulevard and Wardell Street (which shows on street map link below as WAR ST) at the end of Wardel Street is a pay and display car park. This is chargeable @ £4 per day. And has places for 46 cars. https://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?x=386316&y=351306&z=0&sv=st6+6dw&st=2&pc=st6+6dw&mapp=map.srf&searchp=ids.srf A 5min stroll back to Hose St the site of the Torch, head toward A50, go under the A50 via an underpass and you’ll be at Tower Square, The infamous Sneyd Arms Hotel will be on your right.

amo Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 If you come off M6 at Junction 16 Stoke North & Crewe come down the A500 or the "D Road" as us Stokies call it, then get off at the A34 junction & go north on A34 towards Congleton for about 1/2 mile there's an excellent steak house pub on the right hand side, it used to be called the Harecastle but it now the Miller & Carter. If you are getting off at Junction 15 Stoke south just take A34 north thro' Newcastle till you reach the D Road, all as per above. Its easy to get back to Tunstall as well from here, as you just come back to the A500/A34 roundabout & take the slip road straight into Tunstall passing Hose Street on the right hand side as you enter Tunstall town!! Hope that helps. Looking forward to it now!!! See ya all there Amo
