    South Cheshire's best kept secret...... Our 1st event back after a few weeks summer break... we welcome Phil Wainwright...and look forward to Phil stamping his musical preferences on proceedings Just a brief reminder to any newcomers you probably won't hear classics after classics constantly to transport you back to those halycon days of Wigan Casino....... you WILL hear Some damn good music though as compensation ..in the company of some incredibly pleasant people !!

    Down here at FTMNTC we dont focus on a 'revolving' playlist where many records are replayed over time Moreover we focus on a more 'evolving' playlist where we strive to keep a fresh and varied outlook to what is played A real 'gem' of a venue awaits for your delectation in leafy South Cheshire See you on the 5th August !!

    The Dancers just wanna ........dance The Listeners just wanna ........listen The Enthusiasts just wanna...... enthuse Its just how it ever was... See ya on the 5th August

    The 'eagerly awaited' The 'much anticipated' The ...;'about bloody time too' Whatever you want to call it...its here on August 5th The lads will be down to this early to prepare the room and set up the sound system for optimal performance We work very closely with Sarah the venue manager in order to strive to make this the best experience we can for you Little things like the self serve tea and coffee and and sometimes freshly home made cut sandwiches are all designed to enhance the quality of your visit We pride ourselves on being a club for the 'enthusiasts' ...a club where you know everyones here for the music Be good to see you all again

    THATS IT !! RIGHT THERE !! No really.........Its almost like the missing link !! A great addition to the nighter scene.... Outside of number 100,Oxford st....Its been a long long time since ive been to a nighter where the music matches the night and vice versa ...where the vibe, ambiance (and whatever other fancy words ya wanna use to describe your night out) and venue and occasion are as one !!! I'll stop there describing the night..you had to be there...but I;ll put things in context Yeah you can hang your hat on... 1)rare/expensive records 2)fabulous cavernous ballrooms 3) finely polished dancefloors 4) professionally kitted out and well stocked bars 5)Geometrically square venues...:-) ...yeah I know But give you head a wobble it aint all about that For me in 2023....i want summat a little different....and the Gathering offered that This venue has been on the tip of the tongue for a few years now....WELL DONE to Geese, Jim and Luci for grasping the nettle and running with this !!! . .This will have longevity......a marketing pro would say find a gap in the market...this is a gap...a deep down 'underground' nighter ...memories of 60's/70's city centre clubs....run by enthusiastic people who know what direction they wanna go in......................... If this was City Centre Manc/Brum/London/ Newcastle etc etc this would be grabbing ALL the headlines I really enjoyed it...breath of fresh air....a much needed dose of seediness thats missing in todays ultra clean.ultra safe environment. Almost a throwback to those days where there weren't many rules....remember them? ...yeah exactly...!!!!! If you need to be 'led' on your night out...then you wont be reading this anyway If you are one that grabs your night out 'by the balls' then this is for you and you wont miss the next etc !!!! As an aside ...I had a fascinating conversation with the 'guys' that run the venue...about Hanley nightlife from 50 odd yrs ago ( yep am that old) !! and how its evolved..one thing struck me...they are FULLY behind this venture..they want this to succeed and it seems to me a collaboration is building here....that is bound for success..watch this 'fly now' All in all very pleasant....VERY pleasant indeed !!! Am a sucker for pleasantness !!

    5 Star Nearly 3000 views This allnighter ticked all the boxes..from a busy and vibrant record selling marketplace to an 'abfab' sound system shaking the rafters !!! A keen and enthusiastic crowd poured in from the off !! ...clearly intent on a good time.... Regulars and not so regulars mixing and enjoying what must be one of those MUST GO big room allnighters !!!! Musically twas an allnighter selection through and through....delivered with vigour from enthusiastic DJ's keen to get a 'vibe' going !!! There aren't many of these iconic venues left....and you can almost 'feel' the history in here.....many a tale to be told for sure !!!
  10. Jez Jones

    as you can imagine...there is a 'buzz' around this allnighter...its one of those ICONIC venues
  11. Jez Jones

    Be a welcome change to get the oldies box out for Paul and me
  12. Jez Jones

    Weather set fair for a balmy evening over in Runcorn !!! Expect a good ole fashioned soul night out... and expect a few juicy tunes !!!!
  13. Jez Jones

    Paul Dale and myself are looking forward to another great night out here...we've been doing an annual DJ set for a few yrs now and without doubt its ALWAYS friendly and everyones out for a good time !!
  14. Jez Jones

    So a few hrs to go the sun's shining..its a real picture postcard venue when the weather is like this..... ...what to expect ? A real smorgasbord musically !!!! Yeah a few events announce proudly they play rare and underplayed...yeah you've seen them we all know who they are :_) BUT is that it ?? the sum total ??? all bloody night.....give us a break !!!. Tonight here at FTMNTC - you will hear rare and underplayed you will hear rarely played and forgotten you will hear newer sounds and not so new sounds you will hear a variety of genres.... far be it from us to categorise you will hear one offs and prev unreleased records you will hear album only tracks along with diff version tracks you will hear the odd classic you will hear.....loads of records.... !!! No ones ever accused us of a lack of variety here at FTMNTC If your enthusiastic about your music...then you've come to the right place Coz we are !!!
  15. Jez Jones

    Flying a flag for the 'real side' ...putting music first It matters not WHO plays it ....it matters WHAT is played musicmatters Join us for another 'fab' instalment
  16. Jez Jones

    Fancy an outing .. BUT don't fancy going somewhere and listening to the same old 'tired oldies' ....then here we have SOMETHING DIFFERENT...... The event had been getting some 'rave reviews' Easy access...under 20 mins from J17 and J18 M6....GREAT venue in a unique setting in South Cheshire
  17. Jez Jones

    Musically no restrictions as per norm and expect the 'usual suspects' to be playing the sounds and on occasion !! We intend this to be very social...and our regulars will tell you .. we don't take ourselves very seriously..but we DO enjoy the music. If you're looking for a nostalgia event where you can be transported back to the halycon days of the Wheel, Torch, Wigan, Mecca etc... then this aint for you......besides they tell me the toilets are too clean nowadays......!!!!
  18. Jez Jones

    some 'logistics' info....for those travelling by car from out of town. Once the venue car park is full..there is plenty of roadside parking outside the venue and surrounding roads Alternatively...there are 2 car parks approx 5 mins walk from the venue Antrobus Street, CW12 1HB West Street, CW12 1JR
  19. Jez Jones

    Not for us a tired and uninspiring playlist of the same 100/150 records regurgitated monthly in a different order to give the impression of variety Not for us a 'bar culture' where people are more interested in congregating around the bar and need to be 'seen on the scene' .....rather than listening to the music Not for us the 'Northern Soul A Way of Life' approach ....we are just enthusiasts following our hobby and sharing with other enthusiasts Its 'out there' if you look
  20. Jez Jones

    A 'Bespoke' event designed and presented for the enthusiasts out there....... Collector/DJ's combining to present a somewhat 'fresh' promotion of sounds that cover the underplayed, rare,, rarely played, forgotten plus a 'shake' of the new....and an occasional dusting off of a 'classic' I'm sure you'll join us in welcoming Carl and Maria along with Bob to our little FTMNTC soiree. The quality of music and range on offer has just got a whole lot more enticing !!
  21. Jez Jones

    Quality assured ...definitely....the range of music on offer goes way beyond the chains of the Top 500
  22. Jez Jones

    No shouting about the best dancefloor No shouting about cheapest and best beer No shouting about best free parking No shouting about it being 'a way of life' No shouting about records that 'may' be played Just a simple night out with a wide selection of sounds in a pleasant, friendly environment Lets go where the 'grown ups go' !! This is a 'safe space' to enjoy the music !!!!

    ENTHUSIASTS....lets get busy...let's get ready #musicmatters DON'T WAIT FOR THE PLAYLISTS AFTERWARDS......!! 'we don't do em' !!!!!
