Sister Rosetta & the Chess documentary are on again tonight (Sunday 16th January)..........late on not quite sure what time? Cheers Martyn

Chalks I wasn't really thinking of aiming it at soul night crowd but the old nighter goers who have lapsed for whatever reason.I know of a few as I would think you do who still have that nighter ethic but just can't do nighters anymore.But Dave's made the point that it's been tried & wasn't a great success. Cheers Martyn

Dave Well answered,we're all just trying to help. Cheers Martyn

Hey Up Callum You're right about the music making people dance but with Wilton not having a music policy you are at the mercy of each dj,personally that's a plus to me but not all appreciate that range of music this sometimes can produce.Other venues with an up-tempo policy have gone to the wall in the past so I'm not sure it's that simple.I think Wilton's problems are more complex & think it's a wider problem of the nighter scene in general??? Take care matey & hope to catch up soon. Cheers Martyn

Chalks That's what I mean,early start opens it up to more people & that's just what is needed.I'm not sure a 4am would deter the travellers as it's late enough to make it worth your while even if they don't get there a little later then the earlier start?? Cheers Martyn

Chalks Another good point...........I'd been going years before I even knew there was anything behind them curtains Would make people sit at the tables nearer the dancefloor which may entice them onto the dancefloor more ofter???? Cheers Martyn

Chalky I'd go further then that..........9 til 5..........or even 8 til 4. This then opens it up to a wider audience in the respect of some who don't do nighters or people who work etc. Cheers Martyn

Joan Can I get my request in early,will you play.............Wally Coco please Looking forward to coming across to the darkside of the Pennines,it's been awhile Cheers Martyn

About time this was put up for all to see,so the bottom line is you don't support Wilton there will be no Wilton! Mick had it right..............this is The Wilton...........nearly 18 year of carrying the torch for new music.If it were to go I think it would be the first nail in the coffin of the forward thinking side of the scene??Now Dave & Mouse have spelt it out for you all,no "if only" it's in black white WILTON NEEDS OUR SUPPORTS!!!!!!! Cheers Martyn

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you both. Hope me bump into the both of you soon after new year,take care. Cheers Martyn & Lynn

Andy Just need to miss the shopping out All the best to you,Mel & the girls. Cheers Martyn

Difficult not to mention Richard Searling & Soul Sam for me in a list of top dj's but some more that I'm surprised haven't been mentioned.................. Arthur Fenn Bob Hinsley Ady Croasdale Roger Banks Jumping Joan Ted Massey Cheers Martyn

I have both issue & demo,it's the demo that has "Do You Love Me" on both sides,it goes for only a few $$.The issue "Stop Playing Around" goes for quite a bit more?For myself "Do...Me" is the better side. Cheers Martyn

Ian Strange Wilton's been running nearly 18 & gets one mention............two now. Cheers Martyn

Mak Know what you mean about JABT that's the side I bought it for,just think "Promises" is a better dancer for out Cheers Martyn

Good luck boys. Look forward to a trip across the Pennines. Cheers Martyn

Dave My sort of playlist, great to see Mr thunder getting an outing Cheers Martyn

Dave Heard the it odd time here & there over the passed few years but not noticed it been played that much while out recently??? Remember Trevski championing it a few years back. Always thought demo's were about a ton & issues a bit more??? But what do I know Cheers Martyn

Ian Saying that a bet a few people have done nighters there..............I'll get my coat Cheers Martyn
