Guess who's back in Jack? It's the cat-in-1be-hat, Andy Madhatter back for a third tea party.

Partly because we love him so, partly in order to preview his forthcoming Saturday night residency at Bookbinders, we thought it high time for a return visit from the veteran soulster. Supplying quality grooves to the hungry Manchester public by virtue of numerous club nights, -releases and stints behind the counter for One Way and Vox Pop he's been a figure on the soul scene now for a good 20-odd years now arid boasts a formidable, wide-ranging armoury of classics and lesser-spotted gems, with which. he's delighted us on both his previous visits. A splendid opportunity to hear both the past; present and future of soulful goodness in comfortable surroundings and, as ever, freemans. Playing Alice, The March Hare and the sleepy mouse-type will be Northern Comfort residents Robd, Sad Eagle & Catcalledmorris. Be sure to join us! Northern Comfort VS. Madhatter Saturday 9th September, 8-1am The Salutation, Higher Chatham Street M15 6ED (Behind RNCM), Free.
