WHAT happens when you simply love Rhythm and Blues but have to travel miles to hear it played live ?

Form your own club, of course.

And that's just what Ray O'Hare of Clifton Street, Warrington, and his brother-in-law Dave Sawyer have done.

The club will hold its opening night at Touchers Club just off Lovely Lane on Friday, March 20.

The evening will feature the Winchesters and DJ Bob Hayes.

Bare Wires, one of the north west's premier R and B bands, are upcoming on April 24.

All of the bands to be featured in the series are keen to establish such a venue in the Warrington area.
