The Soulsteppers

Following our last successful Christmas session, we’re pleased to say The Viva Soul Club is back behind the turntables in just over 3 weeks time on Saturday 30th March, for a special springtime party at our favourite bar in Brighton, The Round Georges. It will certainly be another real nice social all-dayer & a chance to hear some wonderful records through a top drawer Soundsystem. Easing you in through the afternoon, we’ll have you on your feet by the early evening! Underplayed soulful music from around the world. Hidden gems, choice classics, rare bits, bargain-bin digs & overlooked b-sides beside the seaside. Tony & Paul will be joined by our good friends & top drawer selector/collectors Dean Atkins & Dean Smythe. This event is FREE ENTRY and kicks off at 3pm in the afternoon until closing! So arriving early is recommended to ensure entry. Always a lovely friendly atmosphere where the drink will be flowing & great food is served all day! We do hope you can join us x https://www.facebook.com/share/sDTJoWgZVt7PB33m/?mibextid=9l3rBW https://www.instagram.com/thevivasoulclub https://www.mixcloud.com/VivaSoul
