Smooth Soul Newark

Quality night, Quality People, Quality tunes,

3 principles of any soul night.

Smooth Soul just oozes all 3

Looking forward to it mate monster music policy with more ov then you can slap with a wet fish.

Looking forward to hearing Steve Greenly, first time for me

Quality night again in store for all you discernable soul fans.

As Pete says " more OV than you can slap with a wet fish".

Some great dj's on the line up this year it's about time newark got a true classic oldies night mixing classics with obscure and a big helping of R&B. Defo no disco / jaz funk.

First New face DJ Pete Cannon.

Now Pete I do know, lovely guy with quality tunes.

If it's 60's soul you want, then no better place than Smooth Soul.

Lot's happening over the next few months including a possible move to a venue with cheaper beer, and a white sox reunion that will see us back, at the masonic hall in Retford for a cracking one off night of oldies.
Plus the return of smudge, kev, Ian Parker, Tezza, and first visit from Steve J and Fret.
And lots more to come. Nearly forgot the long awaited membersip card.

pete send me a message if you want some real oldies played ie 60s 70s soul n soul and motown ..regards soul sully retford soul and motown nights 2nd saturday of the month . [ old broken wheel dj ]

Cheaper beer sounds good to me, happy days

Been talking to a few people and they love the ov move looking forward to it.

The Last Smooth Soul age range was between 18-60,

we must be doing something right.

All on original vinyl.

It just doesn't get any better.

Well this will now be our last Smooth Soul from the Deincourt Hotel,
On the 2nd of March we move to the RAFA club very cheap beer £2.50 for bitter and £2.60 for larger. Still open till 2am.
Entrance fee £2.50 smooth soul members £3.00 non members.
Membership is available on the night and will cost £1.00 but you will save 50p on entrance each night.
All funds from this night will be donated to the R.A.F wings appeal.

This really is excellent news especially as its my Birthday YEAH

Lets not forget that as with ALL Smooth Soul events all door tax proceeds go to the Armed forces charities.

All our contributions go to our brave servicemen and servicewomen who are now in need of our help.

Big thanks to deincourt but as from March onward and upward from our new spiritual home, The RAFA club.

Going out with a bang and a party this friday and hopefully, raise loads of money for the Armed forces charities.

2.50 for a pint of Bitter :-))))).............£25.00 plus entry plus what ever Claire drinks!! for a night out with ovo soul..........see you at the RAFA lads :-))

Well all I can say is my bar bill won't be £25 ... After last months efforts to actually try & keep up with you & the consequences that followed I can safely say that I shall be pacing myself ... :0)) xx
It'll be nice for you to play some of the tracks that you don't normally play at The Stute ..
Really looking forward to this & seeing everyone ..
Tracey & Gus we're gonna miss you ..
