The 2nd night at the Plinston Hall happens on Friday 1st November from

8pm-2am and is expected to be another sold-out event. The opening night

teething problems have now been sorted out and we are opening the

Modern/Crossover room for quality anthems and unknown goodies. Guests are

Dave Rimmer, Nick & Dawn Brown with the Usual Suspects providing the back-up

and the usual balanced mix of quality across the board soul. Entry is £6 OTD

or (and we STRONGLY ADVISE THIS) £5 advance ticket that can be ordered from

the box office on (01462) 480282. Credit card at hand or, if you don't have

one, you can ask them to hold them on the door in your name until 9.30pm on

the night. If you are going to St Ives or Peterborough allnighter you can

also get tickets from the Sinister Sisters or TheBigO (when he's not

dancing!)

The first night was a fantastic success and we are expecting the same for the

next. All are welcome and more info and free membership can be obtained from

nh6tsmafia@aol.com. (Expect our website soon.) Guests for the future include

Soul Sam and Butch and hopefully a live set with full band from the man,

Edwin Starr.

See you on the night brothers & sisters!

North Herts 6T's Mafia

*******************************************

he resident DJ's spinning across the board rare Soul from across the eras

will be: Taffy (Ian Guy) - the Godfather of the local scene and a man who has

kept the soul flame burning for almost 30 years. If CLASS Crossover and

Modern is your thing then get set for a treat as Taffy will be supplying not

only the rare anthems but many exclusive sounds that will become HUGE very

very quickly; Fingers (Turntable Records List/Collector): known to many an

avid collector Fingers will be spinning obscure album tracks as well as

unknown gems; Hammie (Kempston Rovers/Bedford's main Man): Supplying current

in-demanders as well as classic Rare Soul gems. Expect to pound the

dancefloor all night!; AB (Local collector): local Face and all round nice

guy. Catering for those who love forgotten oldies or just plain class soul;

TheBigO (Neil Oppegaard): rather large chin behind the 6T's Mafia, dancer,

collector and all round fanatic. He'll be spinning across the board sounds

and a few unknown gems thrown in for good measure.

These Usual Suspects will be joined by guests each night.  The gorgeous and cuddly Dave

Rimmer and Nick & Dawn Brown (Scenesville, London) are booked for Fri Nov 1st and Jan

10th 2003 sees the legend and all round ginger loveliness that is

Toddmorden's fave son Ginger Taylor making his appearance at the club. Others

are being approached as we speak.

We will, if all goes to plan, be opening a dedicated Modern/Crossover room

and a R&B room (with Manchester's fearsome Hideaway Club DJ's behind the

decks) by the 3rd or 4th event. We'll keep you posted. With all rooms open

the venue can hold 700 (or 750 if we all breathe in and stay away from the

pies!)

For those that have asked the thinking behind the club is simple: Quality

rare Soul (rare that is in quality - not just quantity) in a fun friendly

atmosphere. If you remember the old West Hampstead days or Randys fantastic

and legendary Southgate weekenders, or can just remember the buzz that going

to your first few Northern events gave you when you first discovered this

scene of ours then you'll understand what we are aiming for.

That's about all we can say for now. If your interested in becoming a member

then drop us a line at: North Herts 6T's Mafia, c/o 29 Vicarage Close,

Arlesey, Beds. SG15 6XH with your name and address (for each person wishing

to join) or mail us at nh6tsmafia@aol.com.

Look forward to seeing as many of you as possible on the opening night and

towards the start of what we hope will be a great venue for us all.

Keep the faith
