Soul Event Info

THAT DRIVING BEAT, LEEDS 18th FEB @ Empire Bar

After another successful night in December following our re-launch in October its time for another bi-monthly installment of TDB at our new venue

For those who haven't been to one of our nights before (i wont hold it against you ) but our aim has always been to bring an up front, atmospheric night of soul to Leeds, with a mixed crowd who are up for a top night. Music wise, we have an open across the board policy; 60'S AND 70'S SOUL, NORTHERN, R&B, LATIN, FUNK EDGED SOUL..................This could be rare, underplayed, oldies, newies, whatever pidgeon hole you wanna put it in!! The emphasis is on QUALITY for the ears and the dancefloor (yes, you can have both). But don't just take my word for it, read the reviews from our last event for yourselves

For all those people who took one of our flyers at Empty Bottles on Friday, can i just highlight that the event is not on the 15th.........it's on the 18th!!!!

Sorry for the misprint, that's getting sorted ASAP!!

Looking forward to our 1st visit. Comes highly endorsed: following a magnificent night at Empty Bottles a couple of weeks ago, Leeds seems to be where it's all happening.

Rich Buckley Posted: Jan 29 2012 03:04 PM

Tape swappers fav

Have to say Empty Bottles was superb and expect more of the same on the 18th! A few new goodies will be getting their first airing so prepare to party...

Ayeeee looking forward to this as per... Last one was immense...

Heard some good things about Gumbo from the Manchester contingent, and no doubt Martyn will be mixing it up as ever with his top choice selections.

Leeds, Leeds, Leeds!!!.................... ( that felt wrong! )

I agree Gary!! :-)

Countdown is very much on for this one. Getting a great response again through other promotion channels so it's shaping up to be another lively one i hope. 2 great guest DJ's on, who as always, will be asked to play with freedom.......no point booking someone and telling them what to play!!

I think between the 5 of us there'll be all Darrow's hits........Plus some rather awesome rare soul to go with it!!

P.S lyrics on Tomorrow's men are actually the same as Isley Brothers 'Who's that lady'. Anyway, enough record talk!!

If people wanna know what sort of stuff we play down there and considering coming, ive posted some tuneage on the facebook group page, with more to come this week

Just might have to pay another visit to Driving Beat. Heard Martin has been feeling a little on the "old" side while regularly visiting these younger up and coming nights. So if i make an appearance he can regard himself as one of the young uns again. Lol

Naughty little Mr Evans, there's nothing wrong with plugging Leeds events on another Leeds thread, as long as they don't clash. Everyone does it.

It may be zzzzzz for you my little cupcake

, but not for others, and if anyone is staying in Leeds overnight, then why not make a weekend of it :thumbup:

I say good luck to both events :thumbsup:

and thank heavens that they are bringing soul (for all ages) back to Leeds.

See you Saturday my little cupcake

HI MARTIN,

This is the second time this has occured and he did not ask the first time!!!!!!!

If he has asked Arron then not a problem, but i would have thought that 10/15 posts about the event on his own thread regarding the event, would be promotion enough.

regards ROY

LilJimmyCrank Posted: Feb 17 2012 06:40 PM

Well it seems I've missed a hot topic whilst on my sick bed!!!

Steve posted last time out and I said it was ok then, but I can also see other peoples point of view.
For me, it's about principles - I'm all for cross promoting and helping each other out, (I do it with an event in Leeds, Manchester, York and tadcaster), but it works both ways, and out of politeness it's better to gain permission of the promoter before hand; whether that be dishing out flyers at events, posting on threads and social networking, name dropping etc.
I think that's where Rich is coming from. We help each other out a lot on the promotion front, the effort put into cross promoting being equal, plus we always attend each others events when possible. So if he disagrees with steve's approach he's entitled to say so.

I haven't had contact from Steve prior to this, so it's probably the last occasion I'll allow it. However I welcome a pm from any fellow promoter about cross promoting, even if it's just the odd post on a soul forum thread. Or maybe come down to the event with your flyers

Can I say that the last time I put the event on here, I stated that if it wasn't ok to delete the post.
I got the reply that it was all ok as we both are in Leeds and that the events didn't clash and that more the better for soul in Leeds????

Posted:Dec 14 2011 12:48 AM
Hope you don't mind, but if you do delete this I'll understand.
The day after this, Sunday December 18th, is the 'Leeds Central Soul Club' Alldayer at 'HiFi Club' 2 Central Road, Leeds LS16DE.
Starts at 1pm and ends at 8pm. Only £5 on the door on the day for 7 hours, 7 djs and an atmosphere electric
enough to power the City of Leeds for a year.
So if you're hanging around Leeds after 'That Driving Beat' Make a weekend of it.

Posted:Dec 14 2011 07:43 PM
Hi Steve, dont mind you posting, seeing as the events dont clash. Can only be a good thing for Leeds. We get a lot of people travelling some distance and often stopping over, so they may be pleased with the event being brought to their attention if they're looking for something to do on a Sunday.

what a top night that was. relaxed, genuinely friendly, music from guests and residents consistently commented upon by everyone i spoke to ,(which judging by the hoarseness appears to have been numerous), as quality oldies (as in not often heard but floorfilling nonetheless
bar staff were superb.and friendly new acqaintances. nice one azza.

It's Never Dull In Hull

I'd just like to thank Azza & the boys for the invite to spin a few,it was an absolute pleasure.I had a ball behind the decks & that's all down to such an enthusiastic crowd who were up for it big style.The range of music played all night was brilliant & this was reflected with the dancers keeping the floor busy all night."Wrinkly Corner" was bouncing with all zimmer frames & walking sticks made redundant as everyone was too busy boogieing

So can't wait for April for another fix of the "Driving Beat" experience..........it keeps ya young :wicked:

Thanks for another brilliant night guys

Great tunes from the residents as always.

I enjoyed what Gumbo played tremendously, really suited the basement club, I only wish the dance-floor was a bit darker in places, so that I could have got down & dirty (to the music!!) Well done lad :thumbsup:

I suppose that Bird fella did a good job as well :rolleyes:

Cheers for Darrow, and thanks for the c.d. I'm gutted as I didn't realise you had Ozzy & His Spurlings as that would have been another request I would have mithered you for.

Looking forward to April already with Steve Plumb & some guy called Ted Massey :g:

Keep up the good work fellas :hatsoff2:

Thanks to Martyn & Lynn for gettin us there & back, and of course for putting up with us (especially when I thought we must've slept all the way home but wends said we never stopped blabbering on!!) And ta for the cd Martyn, some fine stuff on there! :-)

Til the next time! :-)

Keeping meaning to write a lookback but busy as owt at work...

Another cracking night down the basement, atmosphere was once again amazing, promised myself a quietish night but alas got carried away; which I blame on the quality of tunes been played all night. Gumbo was class but Martyn was on fine form and certainly had the spot of the night for me.

Nice one Azza, its really taken of with the new venue, bring on the next one x

LilJimmyCrank Posted: Feb 22 2012 03:05 PM

Just a quick one from me to say massive thanks to all who came down last week - the quality of sounds is more than matched by the quality of people, and it's you guys who really add to the add atmosphere of the place and make it worthwhile.
When we set out launching Driving Beat 3 and a half years ago (minus the gap of course), we always maintained it was to ut a great night on in Leeds that attracted a mixed crowd of the best people.........i think we continue to achieve that!

Musically, top notch again. Gumbo and Martyn were brilliant on the night. Both played with the freedom i give all our guest DJ's as the promotor, and i think they left their own mark on 2 great sets. The dancefloor was rammed throughout with everyone else listening in appreciation.
I also thought Eddie & Rich were on great form and delivered some awesome stuff.

Next event is 21st April with Ted Massey & Steve Plumb guest DJ's so should be a big one. Hope to see you all down there
