For this night we have engaged a top artist T-Kay to entertain us, so bring your friends along for a great night.
Rated as one of the UK’s leading Motown and Soul Tributes, T-Kay is a true soul singer, reminiscent of the Motown era.
In his unique style while emulating the Soul Greats, like The Temptations, The Four Tops, The Drifters, Luther Vandross, Barry White (to name a few); T-Kay stays true and recaptures the Detroit and Philadelphia sound.

League Champions 2024/25 - Newton Conservative ‘B’
Newton Conservative ‘B’ powered to the Earlestown League Championship with a 6-0 demolition of The Turpin View. This result culminated a run of 16 points from the last 3 matches leaving second placed Bryn Labour, who in comparison picked up just 5 points in their last 3 matches, floundering in their wake.
It was a great all-round performance by Newton, who rotated 10 players throughout the season with all 10 making excellent contributions. Mike Hutchinson was the star performer winning 12 of his 15 matches.
The victory was particularly rewarding for Newton captain Tony Kelly who having competed in every season for the last 48 years finally won his first league title.
At the conclusion of the League matches, congratulations go to Gary Royds of Bryn Labour who takes the Player of the Year award for the most wins of 15 wins out of 17 matches played. Also, to Howard Butcher of Newton Cons ‘A’ who took the Highest Break prize with a run of 66 against Craig Briscoe.
