Looking forward to what will be our final night of the year and what a year it’s been! Reiterating the musical ethos of the much loved and much missed LOWTON CIVIC HALL soul nights, CULCHETH has strived to maintain a focus on quality sounds, with a mix of rare, underplayed and classic original records and so this year along with a small number of other venues has, in our opinion, kept to the traditions and expectations of the rare soul scene and its loyal followers. Mentioning a number of other venues following the values of the scene, one such venue is Ashton Ukrainian Club. This year has also seen Ashton consolidate its place in the North-West soul calendar as a ‘must-visit’ event and so it’s with great pleasure that we announce a joint promotion between ASHTON and CULCHETH on December 7th. DJ’s on the night, representing ASHTON will be two of the driving forces of Ashton’s success, SIMON INGHAM and MICK HOWARD and representing CULCHETH will be resident DJ’s KEV MURPHY and BAZ MALEEDY, adding to the line up for the night will be special guest, CULCHETH and ASHTON regular, and resident DJ at RUGBY, SWINTON all-nighters and Rare Soul Bol Weekenders, DAVE RIMMER! There is no doubt, this will be a real CHRISTMAS CRACKER, so get it in the diary for SATURDAY 7th DECEMBER!

Looks like lotsa peeps have got the message Mick, there's a genuine BUZZ about Ashton tonight and why not...proper tunage, friendly, knowledgable crowd, great atmosphere, just a case of gettin' there early to get your seats... We'll be there for the off, wouldn;t want to miss owt, see you in a bit x

Getting closer to the source now... The weekend and Saturday almost on us, time for another GEM from Ady Potts box! Totally underplayed due to the lack of copies out there, so makes it worthwhile to lend an ear... Ladies and Gentlefolk we give you; Miss Vivian Jones

Sooo good to see this wonderful record finally taking its place on Northern / Rare Soul dancefloors after being a bit of a sleeper, a CULCHETH featured spin but one that fits the GRUMPY bill...

Looking forward to hearing this feelgood gem on Saturday from Phil Threlfall's box of goodies... Just one of many great rare and underplayed gems coming your way this Saturday at GRUMPY SOUL @ CULCHETH

YOU'RE WELCOME to GRUMPY'S SATURDAYS Quality rare soul from the Casino...

I know a few people who'll be waiting patiently to hear this drop loud and clear... Group Soul PERFECTION!

Must admit I actaully thought this record had been 'lost' into one of very few colections BUT we can now look forward to it making an appearance at GRUMPY on Saturday...AMAZING RARE SOUL!

Quite right too Joan, looking forward to a great night of absolute TOP quality tunage One of your favourites I think?

Hope everyone’s getting set for a great weekend! Alsager tonight with Colin Curtis, Soul Sam, PEP, Tim Ashibende, Nige Brown, John Kelly and aLl the Newcastle Tiffs faithful, then looking forward to next weekend and the ultimate ‘twofur’ GRUMPY SOUL @ CULCHETH with the MODERN ROOM in the lounge…Can’t Wait!
