4th Time around for 45 Revolutions, building nicely and lots of positive comments from those of you that have attended.
Trying to keep away from the tried & Tested safe route- there's plenty of choice if that's your thing- and open a few ears to some you may not know, or haven't heard in a while.
Give it a try, ya never know

Little independent review from last time....
On Friday night we went to 45 Revolutions at the Sudden Social Club in Rochdale. It's a new club, this was its second night and I thought it was the best soul night I've been to for ages.
The resident DJs are Tony Poff and Alan M, guests were Derek Watmough and Gamekeeper Jones. The club has a decent sized dance floor, and a bar, prices pretty good too. A reasonable number in but I expect it to increase over the next few months. Only downside is finding it, took a while, could write a paragraph about that but who'd be interested? It's worth making the effort to find it.
Music was excellent, no top 100, just good soul music, definitely much on the rare and underplayed side of our music.
Records played included: Think Nothing About It (Gene Chandler); Lonely One (Steptones); Tell Me You're Mine (Four Sonics Plus One); Ain't That Just Like A Woman (Doug Banks); Dance Senorita (Hollywood Flames); Lonely Boy Song (Kell Osborne); You Better Watch Out (Dorothy Berry); Up And Down The Hill (T C Lee & The Bricklayers); Push Away From The Table (Herbert Hunter); Until (Billy Barnes, played as a tribute to the late Carl Willingham); Without My Girl (Chasers); All Alone With No Love (Contemplations/Rock Candy); I Love My Baby (International GTOs); You Got To Look Up (Drapers); Under The Moon (Rufus Wonder) and loads more.
The consensus among our friends was that it had been an excellent night with good music, what you want at a soul night.
We left at midnight hoping to return to the next one. Highly recommended.
I will sort directions out to help to find it
3rd outing for The Rebels hoping to bring you a few sounds from the lesser played side of things.
As our good friend Salmon said " From the Rare to the not so Rare, if It's Good-It's in."
