  1. Agree that Mr flood's is hard to beat for northern dancefloors, Les McCann has to be the definitive version for me.
  2. Possibly one of the best dancefloors out there. Come and try it for thee sen! Next Friday

    Raven Soul Night

    Box primed any ready to go with just one addition to pick up from Mr postie tomorrow. Want to play some Stafford era tunes and classics few classics from my youth, along with some of the raw sounds we play at the gathering. Bring your dancing shoes.
  4. So I'm stood on the hacienda balcony in 1990 withy brother and he said, you know the younger lads used to stand on the balcony at Wigan and ask if the torch was better than this? looking down at a heaving dancefloor in station road. He said this, is better than both, as we looked at the insanity of the hac in full flow, never had that wanderlust since.
  5. Backing ain't bad, and it's got a raw charm but that vocal, just to garage for me
  6. Just over a week to go and a buzz is building on the return of the Macc!
  7. Great to welcome Ashley back to the venue.
  8. Initially I was inclined to be a little cynical of thread as I thought it might attempt to pull out some kind of social or political aspect from songs. The perspectives from other members are really articulate and insightful on a subject I've given little consideration to. Music for me has always been more or cerebral experience and although I never study lyrics, certain lines resonate in a random way as they seep into my conscience. It's really thought provoking this, because I'm actually considering how I listen to music and take it's elements.
  9. The last one was a blinder, especially looking forward to the RSG Crewe in the backroom

    And you Jordan, see how the paternal life is treating you.
  11. Been a while, might be when worth checking out this long established venue this week
  12. Good to see Duralcha at the top of the list. The ultimate 'jody' for me, what do you do with Jody? You shoot the SOB!
  13. Jody, references in soul songs are male.
    It's been great to watch this event build steadily over the last 18 months, last Saturday, however saw Keele with a very busy dancefloor and a real buzz about it once more. Proceedings were kicked off by jez Jones, who delivered a great set full of lesser known oldies and underplayed gems. Alan Jenkins, Fred Benson and of course Ted Massey brought our the big guns with a top selection of rare classics. In contrast Johnny beggs followed with a set of exclusives and one offs. John weston has to be one of the very best northern and R&B DJs in the game and played a highly danceble set including the gentlemen four and muchachos as requests from me. Fellow gathering resident proved she is one of the best out there at the moment with a set full of energy and verve, filling the floor in the small hours with easy- just grooving along. Proceedings were closed by Rob Smith and pep, who played quality rare classics of an ilk you only really get to here at nighters. All in all a top night and proper nighter.
