Mike Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 Lowton Civic closing it seems is it just a venue related thing, as in venue closed/sold etc or is it the promoters choice ? @BazM can you fill us all in?

Hi Mike It is very true and it's venue related. The management told me the venue was being sold ealier in the year and they weren't taking any more bookings after 2017, so I booked Dec 30th 2017 as the final night at LOWTON but they came on to me yesterday and told me they'd now decided to close at the end of August as the sale has gone thru and so the night on Friday August 11th really is the last.
Mike Posted August 3, 2017 Author Posted August 3, 2017 thanks Baz for posting up the score any ideas on what the venues future is going to be , as in still avenue? hope the last nite goes well on Aug 11th! had some great times there
Winsford Soul Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 Ditto Mike. Some amazing nights at lowton. Had the pleasure of meeting some amazing people there who have since become some of my closest and dearest friends. Some fantastic live acts. Including in my opinion the best live act I have ever seen. Eddie Holman. What a amazing night that was. Still get goosebumps now when I think about it. I will try and make it next Friday night Steve 1
Chalky Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 Takking to Kev Murphy at the weekend reminiscing ablut some of the great nights at Lowron. One NYE stood out for both of us, Kev, Andy D, myself, Tim Brown all on the decks. Shame it is coming to an end although I've not been for some years now due to work and getting home on a Friday.
Widnes63 Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 Such a shame that Lowton is closing, it seemed to be having a resurgence with more people attending each month, had some great nights there over the years & I will definitely be at the last one. 1
Steve Plumb Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 Sorry to hear this Barry :-( Had some amazing nights there over the years literally from the very beginning and it's such a shame to see it end like this All the very best on the 11th August mate 21 years - I reckon you could say it has been a legendary venue not only for Northern Soul but for 70's/Crossover, Soulful Garage, 90's/Y2K Modern Soul, 60's Rare and Underplayed etc etc Cheers Steve 1
