A few memorable flyers from way back when (Thanks Dave Holt)
-
Well said Rob - I ran out of likes whatever that means so I'm back to typing again Are you sure he didn't pay you???
-
I echo your thoughts Steve - it's easy to underestimate how much work goes into pulling these things together and Baz is one of the hardest working promoters out there, as well as a fantastic DJ able of pulling together amazing sets across the sub-genres which many are not aware of ..... deffo not a pigeon hole X-over and Modern DJ, in fact a Dark Horse .... his profile is missing from this thread isn't it!!! Footnote - Baz paid me to say all that
-
Here's a map of the area - The Village Club is marked, plenty of parking available but if it's maxed out the best options are off the main road B5207 there's some parking near the green (see red arrow) and it's probably a 5min walk back to the club. I'm not sure Wigshaw Lane itself is a good place to park - it may even be restricted. Hope that helps.

Yeah - Bob absolutely! Sweep It Out has dominated as the preferred side of many a DJ but Challenge My Love is total CLASS
-
Yes Mick it'll be a great opportunity to relive some of the Kenwood Suite memories and I'm certain all the DJs will deliver with the same ethos ..can't wait...rare but not for the sake of it and underplayed but not because they aren't quality tunes...job done

Hey Ste happy birthday buddy
-
I'm thinking of giving this a spin on Saturday
-
What's not to like? - all that under one roof with like minded folk, bring it on
-
Be good to catch up Calvin it's been quite a while!!!!
-
I didn't realise Plumby was a trained NS adjudicator I'm now worried about my own selections for the Anniversary event
-
Can't wait Kev - I literally was reminded that next year is the 30th Anniversary - wowser!!!!! I shared this earlier with Kev Murph and thought it would be a great memory for this event thread too - I think this was his first appearance as a DJ at Lowton? A piece of history either way Kev and Dave = Kev Murph & Dave Holt, also what a line up for that night eh! (BTW) I love the footnote - limited to 550, says it all doesn't it)
-
I love the abstract colour arrangement - you should take this up professionally, much better than the ashtrays made out of records Rob IMHO
-
Due to unforeseen circumstances there's a slight change in tonights' lineup - Mighty Mick Howard will take my place, get your dancing shoes at the ready 19:00 - Phil Dunn 19:45 - Bob Hitchcock 20:45 - Mick Howard 21:45 - Chalky 22:45 - Carl Hedberg 23:45 - Chris Churm
-
If I'm right Greg was playing the vocal version and Dave Flynn was playing the instrumental, The Mayfield Players??? However - I'm reliably informed by Dave Holt that Bob is indeed correct in the fact that Chris King played it first at one of the NYE nights either '98 or '99. Lowton released a Anniversary CD with the instrumental credited to the Bob Hinsley Strings
-
It was Dave Flynn when he came up to Lowton with the Capital Soul Club crew - not NYE but not sure of the exact event, more research required! Many thanks to my source of knowledge - Mr Baldwin

I'm very much looking forwards to the Lowton Anniversary Extravaganza on 1st Feb. I was truly honoured to be part of the team from the early days, which was certainly a springboard for my meagre DJing career (a very humble thanks to Kev, Dave & Paul for putting their trust in me ) Lowton was an amazing venue when you look back, a Friday Night Soul night with a regular attendance circa 500 I'm sure it was - someone can correct me! .... I remember looking out at the crowd one month from behind the deck and the atmosphere just blew me away ....... getting the needle onto the vinyl is always a challenge when your hand is shaking like a leaf! Lowton was a Friday night soul night where you could literally play any top nighter sound of the time and it would ram the floor - There were so many, I tried to think of one that isn't played so often at the moment (or I don't hear at least) Here you go

The Ashton Ukrainian club has gone from strength to strength following the re-launch in 2021 and a move to Saturday night. For 2025 we're looking once again to continue delivery quality rare and underplayed soul from the residents and ever growing list of outstanding guests. Speaking of ‘Rare & Underplayed Soul’ we use that phrase to capture what Ashton tries to deliver musically, which is worth expanding upon. Mainly it's an attempt to move away from the standard music policy strap lines we’re all so used to seeing like; Northern, 60s & 70s, Crossover, Modern, across the board etc. etc. whilst genuinely trying to capture an ethos. The words ‘rare’ and ‘underplayed’ are intended to apply both in their own right and together, it certainly isn't supposed to be limited rare records that are also underplayed……we should have added quality in there too LOL. In a nutshell you will hear all three combinations of the phrase on any given night at the Ukrainian Club; ‘Rare’ (but not for rarities sake) ‘Underplayed’ (but not because they’re not good enough) and of course ‘Rare & Underplayed’ but, all with one eye on the dancefloor. We don’t have a music ‘policy’, all our residents & guests are free to express themselves as they wish, which we believe adds to the magic. So simply expect a great night of quality soul music if you ever get the chance to join us at our friendly little club.

It's an interesting point you make Rhino and it made me think so I checked the relative value of £5 in 1995 compared to now and it works out as a tenner
-
I'm hoping Chalky will grace the decks with this one so I can do my best impression of a dancer
-
Go for it Chalky we heard it from you at Ashton first my friend
-
Can't wait for this one: Three Rooms of Fun and quality soul music rather than 7 Rooms Of Gloom anytime for me! I'm gonna keep my eye on this thread for news of the various guest DJs mein host has got up his sleeve....never a dull moment at Culcheth and this episode especially as an all-dayer mixed in with the celebration of another Lowton Anniversary! What's not to like See you all there for the festival
-
Carl may play it for himself

Happy Birthday
