Monday Morning Banger, to shake off the cobwebs from "The Fixer" one half of "The Vinylfellas" Menacing Soul for the dancefloor!!!

Another Great night at Culcheth, Baz M played a great opening hour of lesser played gems and the flip to The Dream Merchants, sounded a bit good, to these ears!! Great to see Bob Hinsley rolling back the years, double decking with Robbo, some tremendous stuff played. I enjoyed my impromptu set preceding them and managed to play Mike Roche his request , Cookie Scott "mislead" maybe set to have it's day in the sun?! Simon"The Fixer" Ingham played the usual high quality hour, we've come to expect Bo Fowler "upper hand" Keith + Billie "tastes sour, don't it" Hayes Cotton and finishing with the Mighty Chuck Cockerham and Little Rubin!! We caught the first half of Kev Murphy's last hour set Little Joe Roman and Frankie Beverley "because of my heart" a great way to kick start the set!! Spent a bit of time in a very busy Modern Room and That man Soul Sam had the crowd in the palm of his hand, pure quality!!
