Enjoy the atmosphere as England move to the next stage of the competition between 5 and 7(ish)and then on to the soul night in the Rare Soul and Modern Soul rooms from 8pm till 1am…

Can’t say much about the England team but the ‘Soul Team’ on the night will be made up of Special Guest JOHN VINCENT, KEV MURPHY, SIMON INGHAM and CHARLIE SMITH in the main room and STEVE PLUMB, BAZ MALEEDY, NICK McKINNON and PETE RATCLIFFE in the Modern Room, a winning combination and a TOP RESULT GUARANTEED!

See You, This Saturday!...

 

Looks like the perfect combination, Charlie Smith can supply the crossover for Veteran Striker JV to nod in "I'll get my coat" 

Loving this Chris Anderton spin, femme soul perfection, which in parts reminds me of The Rockmasters "raining teardrops" 

Another of Stu's selections and one from just a few years ago!!

Killer 60s group soul, for the next selection from Stu Cheetham!!!

Great knowledge Bob
