For the attention of Jo :-

I will be launching a new group on Boxing Day, and as per the Stourport Night Life group, the ability to comment will be turned off. This is nothing personal, it is simply to avoid the POTENTIAL for anything negative to be written. It has nothing to do with whether or not I have any manners, it's a route I took with SNL from the outset .. and everybody who's provided feedback indicate that they like it this way.

Also, many thanks for continually adding a laughing Emoji to all of my posts. Every time you do this, you are improving my engagement rating. Thus, as my engagement rating improves, so does my overall spread.

I'm generally a placid character. No bull***t, a spades a spade. Ask me a question and you'll get an honest answer. Very little winds me up. BUT, keyboard warriors get right on my t**s. When championing Stourport for all it's good points, I'll always find somebody wanting to stick the boot in. WHY ? Have you got nothing better to do than scroll through FB all day, waiting for an opportunity? How sad.

A comment has just been posted on one of my recent posts on What’s Going On In Stourport implying that the town is home to criminal activity. A comment made without any credible substance that has absolutely made my blood boil ! Check-out my response !

Further to my post earlier today, this serves as a perfect example of why I dislike social media. Advice: Don't make a comment for the sake of making a comment, unless you can back it up. Stereotyping has now place in Stourport. Amen.

For somebody claiming NOT to be a fan of social media, you probably wonder why I'm "on it all the time". Well, as many of you know, it's a really useful marketing tool, particularly when you're self employed and trying to promote your business. At present, this particular page is ticking along nicely with a steady 100K+ views per 28 day period, and as the admin of Stourport Night Life (3K members) and moderator for one of the areas Top Three pages (20K members), it's no wonder I appear to be here, there and everywhere. So, I'll make my apologies in advance ! I'm about to make matters even worse as I launch another page/group later this month !🙄🥱😵‍💫 .. Whilst NOT necessarily aimed at Stourport residents, I'm sure it will provide interesting reading for those of you living in my adopted home town AND make us all realise how lucky we are. Those of you following my DJ Stretch page will receive invites to join the group on Boxing Day, the 1st anniversary of the Night Life group. I bet you can't wait 🤣🤣🤣 ! 👍

Despite Storm Darragh, tonight's gig at The Port House is definitely going ahead ! Straight after Man U v Forest (probably around 7.30pm after Fergie Time) !

FIFTY YEARS AGO TODAY, my first ever football match !

Absolutely brilliant to meet up with "Dale" who dropped in on Stourport as part of The Great British Pub Crawl yesterday. Remarking on his amazing welcome at every venue, he said "It's as if everybody was expecting me" ! 🤣🤣🤣 Ooops ! (Ssshhh, don't tell him, but 7.3K saw my post alone and I know his post was shared by others !)

Dale also acknowledged the town's pulling power and understood why people would travel from far and wide to experience our great venues !

Keep your eyes open for the video on YouTube and please subscribe to his superb channel !

WBA fans, be on your guard and read the small-print ! Then again, they'd be an ideal gift for anybody supporting both the baggies and the hornets !

It's almost twelve months since launching the Stourport Night Life FB group; and some of you will recall back in early January, we set the challenge to find the town's "Bartender of the year 2024" .. somebody that excels in top-notch customer service and always goes the extra mile. Well, a small team of anonymous undercover observers have been out and about in venues around town and are about to draw up their shortlist. Undoubtedly there are scores of contenders to choose from, but have they missed somebody? This is your opportunity to make a last minute nomination. Just pop your suggestion in the comments section below. Only positive comments please.

What an amazing start to 2025 we have in prospect ! Three Stourport venues kick off the new year with brand new ventures, all having the potential to attract many new faces, whilst none having much potential to impact upon the venues currently doing what they do with incredible success. January brings Mr Popularity DJ Stu, Wedding and Party DJ to The Port House as he launches his extremely fast-moving karaoke and party night .. Northern Soul fans welcome Lara Hall & Paul to The Orange Stage (aka Worleys at The Swan) as they launch their Saturday afternoon Soul Club .. and I’m currently spending every spare minute preparing for Feelgood Fridays at Severn’s Club - Stourport-on-Severn. Nobody can accuse Stourport of standing still !

We’re now just three weeks away from Santa’s official world tour 2024, but, ahead of the big day, I’m travelling with Santa on a “warm-up” mini world tour ! These are the dates and venues for “Breakfast with Santa” 2024:

Sunday 15th December: The Mitre Oak, Hartlebury.
Sunday 22nd December: The Port House, Stourport.

Please see venues’ own pages for more details !

2024 kicked off with three new projects on the table: FB group Stourport Night Life, "My Life My Soundtrack" (local personalities telling their life stories with fav songs) and "Needles and Spins" (customers bringing their vinyl to be played in public). The FB group has exceeded expectations with almost 3K people joining the simple format. MLMS died a death following the summer footie championships, mainly due to me/guests/etc being unable to marry up diary commitments. That said, it may return at some point. As for N&S, it simply didn't go beyond the "that could work" stage. So, I'm absolutely thrilled to read that DJ pal Mick Carridine is hosting a vinyl night at the Severn’s Club - Stourport-on-Severn from 8pm on Saturday 14th December. This should be a proper fun night as you're all invited to bring those golden greats from your record collection (please see Mick's page for more details). Please support this venture and make it a great night as it has huge potential to become a regular feature on our events list !

The Great British Pub Crawl is coming to Stourport !

I had a feeling it would only be a matter of time ! This has to be brilliant news for the town as the guy doing the crawl generally homes-in on the positive aspects and rarely says anything negative ! Check out the corresponding YouTube channel and you'll see for yourselves ! Don't be surprised if you bump into him - he does his best to cram in as many venues as possible - and I'm talking well into double figures !

NEW YEAR, NEW PROJECT ! "FEELGOOD FRIDAYS" are coming to Stourport !

I dare say that one or two of you may have gathered that I'm going to be fronting a brand new variety/entertainment concept at the Severn’s Club - Stourport-on-Severn very soon ! The planned "pacy" format certainly promises to bring a whole new concept in all-round, cheap & cheerful family entertainment, the likes of which, Stourport has never experienced before !

As many of you know, I've been chipping away as the "average" Party DJ bloke for 44+ years, but since going self-employed 15 months ago, the reality sets in, the penny drops, particularly in a town offering so much on the entertainment front. You MUST provide something new ! Something different !

And that's precisely what's on the cards. "Feelgood Fridays" will be fresh .. although much of the content won't ! Over coming weeks, I'll be revealing the full concept, however, there's so much planned, I daren't go into greater detail at this stage.

In a nutshell, Feelgood Fridays will offer affordable wining & dining, live music from unknown/undiscovered acts, opportunities to win huge cash prizes .. and all with the overall goal: to put smiles on faces.

Are you starting to feel my excitement ? Well, whether or not this plan works is entirely down to you guys. One thing is for sure, I'll give it 100% commitment (EG I've just spent 4 days compiling the "warm up" soundtrack) .. and of course, bucket loads of enthusiasm. The rest is down to how many of your bums we manage to put on seats !

More will follow soon, but for the time being, thanks for reading !

The DJ roll of the eyes .. the clever ones will be able to guess who I'd just been asked to play ! 🤣🤣 (Initials suggest armpit stench !) 🤣🤣
Taking you from November into December at TC's Bar from 8pm this evening .. I can't promise real snow (as we had for the corresponding gig last year) .. but I can promise the usual bombardment of floor fillers !

28/11/2024

For those of you arriving early at TC's Bar on Saturday, stand by for a delve into the "STRETCH ROADSHOW" record box from early days ! YES, from 8pm I'm planning an explosion of 12 inchers from 80-82 .. "The message is in the mmuuuuuzzzzikkkk" (if you know you know!) 🎤🎧🤣👍

27/11/2024

It's the weekend some of you are fortunate enough to call "pay day weekend" .. and some of you may be starting to ramp up your Xmas festivities ! Well, by the time we finish at TC's Bar on Sunday morning, we'll be well and truly in December ! Remember that old ancient proverb (circa 1980) "December will be magic again" and at TC's, that's as good as guaranteed ! 🎅🎄
