:)Friday 10th December - Wickersley - Rotherham
I was at a bit of a loss at what to do on Friday as I was 'told' at very short notice that the wifes friends were coming round for a christmas get together and I was expected to bugger off out.
Which sounds great until you start phoning around and find everyone else is busy then you realise what a 'billy no mates you are'!!!!!!
Anyway I decided to visit the Wickersley Social Club on Morthern Road for the:-
NORTHERN SOUL & MOTOWN NIGHT run by PAUL LITTLEWOOD
First of all it was free entry with cheap drinks
Secondly the venue is just about the right size with a good friendly atmosphere and
Thirdly the music was pretty damn good.
By around 8:45 the place was pretty full I estimate around 180 and from about 9:15 onwards the dance floor was full of dancers.
There was a guest Dj around 10:00 ('Bob H' I think, sorry if this is wrong) who played a good mix that got lots of people up, dancing enjoying themselves
The music all night was a mix of Oldies/Modern and Motown with a few more commercial Motown thrown in.
I had an excellent night and didn't leave until around 12:15 and everyone else appeared to have a good night.
I would highly recommend this and if you need any more info contact Paul on : 07533 744379
I have only two slight negatives: it was a bitterly cold night and the temperature in the room early doors was a bit cold (not a problem for me but the ladies around me thought it was cold) and secondly there was an awful lot of talc thrown down later on and the floor in front of the stage was like an ice rink. quite funny at times though.
