Lowton - Lookback at Aug 2005
A Friday night in August saw a long over due trip to Lowton Civic,
dunno what's going on nowadays but feels like doing something wrong if
can't get to an event that always enjoy as often as like. Always enjoy
Lowton, the layout, three rooms, dj policy, record bar, cost and
location all work together with result always have a enjoyable night
there.
The nite was a mini-niter, as in was open till 4am, fairly sure was
told this was the last one open till 4am to be held, which at a guess
is something to do with new licensing laws coming in.... maybe but as
always best bet is to wait for official word. As said this trip to
Lowton was long overdue, and was looking forward to it, sometimes with
events if a bit of a gap between visits then do notice differences, but
everything was as it was last time, turned up to a full car park busy
inside and good buzz, like the layout of lowton cause you're free
to roam and can do stuff like play tip on high or corridor sprints if
have a need.
Main hall was busy, not much chance of reading worthwhile
informative reporting here as was after having a most enjoyable nite,
grabbed some alcohol made a trip down corridor to check RnB room
was still RnB-ing and yep it was certainly doing that with some good
sounds as we relaxed down that end of event. Good to catch up with Pete
Coulson.
A early visit to modern room, still warming up and while can
recall every tune pushed out whilst in there just to make sure no
mistakes will add Baz M's highlight list that he posted up here other
day, a nice mix of everyday people made a impression, quite switched on
at this moment as asked Dave L to recommend a good time to get back in
later where will catch a couple of good sessions, he made the effort
and passed on recommendations, I then made a strong mental note of the
timings and after a good dose of what was on offer modern wise moved
on, of course these timings were wiped away when later doing some
bartering, so anyone reading this who can pass on a better view of the
modern room going ons help us out and post up. (sorry bout that but as
said was on a nite out nite)
Record room was as busy as always and lots of vinyl on offer, always a
wide range on offer, bargains, musthaves and so on , lot of catch ups,
and fair bits of info
Here's just some bits, think 100%
Neil Jones gave a heads up on Bury says going strong still packing them
in each month and next weeks one should be yet another good one.
Point made on night by someone, was how events like Bury and Lowton and
others just crack on with no fuss dishing out what they say they will,
regular soul events with large crowds month in and month out their own
way with no fuss, no politics or no controversy.
Interesting point that and caused some discussion
Roger Banks was flogging his wares along with dj-ing and passed on that
he be bringing his vinyl wares again to the next Monkey at end of month.
Soul Sam was doing the vinyl sales thing and took time to pass on his
current top plays along with a few of his "on the up" plays which be on
site later in monkey section, which of course the next one features Sam
as the main guest making a long overdue appearance at Monkey and an
overdue return to Llandudno. Of course if cant wait till then can catch
him at his own event at Broughton next week.
Guy called Ian from Carlise (apologies if name wrong) asked me to pass
on info about the Castle Soul Club in London on Friday 26th August with
Roger Stewart as guest
8.30-1.30
Main Room was still going strong, caught Dean Anderson dishing
out his disks Rob Thomas was strutting his stuff, Steve Thomas was
spinning his spins, Andy M and Molly were throwing their tunes John
Poole was pushing his plays
Districts - One lover, Mac Staton & Nomads - There she goes, Alt
version of Upper Hand by Candi Statons dad or uncle, Jimmy Raye -
Philly dog around the world, Kenny Lewis - Not the marrying kind,
Parsiains - Twinkle little star
being a brief varied grab of sounds from night
Steve had work in morning so left round 3 ish, well as said was a nite
out nite out and as such this lookback is a bit brief on plays and
highlights and heavy on rubbish, so feel free to add if there!
Overall was yet another enjoyable night at Lowton Civic, as said at
beginning its been a while since last visit but to be honest it could
have been last month as everything was as it is always, full credit to
the promoters for last night and the continuity of this event.
