Return of the Droylsden Northern Soul Allnighters 8th Aug 2009 It's been over 15 years since the original Droylsden Allnighter back in the early 90's at The Concord Suite so a nice gap between venues lol, The Starlight Club is bang across the road from The Concord Suite so people should have no problems finding the venue, this is a hidden gem of a venue and as soon as I went and had a look at it I simply knew it was perfect to host an Allnighter, the club owner is a top bloke and is on my s

North Wales Soul Clan's Northern soul night @ Rhyl Townhall has had to be cancled due to the local council pulling the plug, because it did not want to be open after 12 and so yet again another good venue gets lost to us, because our elected local councils dont want to support our efforts to keep soul alive in north Wales, but we will "keep the faith" and keep looking for another venue.

Wilton’s Soulful Sessions 19th November 2016       A soul night featuring a very special performance from a southern soul legend, supported by our fantastic full eight piece band, including background vocalists, *PUSH*.

Just seen this in the local press. If anyone in Essex is not busy Vajazzling the cat and short of something to do on Fri 12th Oct it could be worth a butchers. During the mid-1960s, Street performed with a Motown act called The Monitors, who had only one minor hit, 1966's "Greetings (This is Uncle Sam)", to its name."¨ Street knew the Temptations and Otis Williams, in particular, having worked for Motown in quality control and through his vocal work with the Distants and the Monito

Vaughan from Anglesey asked me to let you know that he went to the Ritz in Desborough last Saturday - Said it was a fabulous nite and a really good venue - the crowd of about 300 were incredibly friendly - for such an out of the way place he was stunned to see so many people there - the sounds were a broad blend of Wheel, Torch and Stafford oldies with a really buzzing R&B room upstairs. Considering that there were about 4 other events on within an hours drive it was astonishing to see such

Los Angeles soul man Rudy Love (and his Love Family) has a fascinating story going back to the early 60s and incorporating many great producers and acts along the way. An independent film on his colourful musical life will be shown at the Raindance Music Documentary on Sept 29th, followed by an after-film gig at the 100 Club. 6TS supporter John Smith (aka member roburt) was instrumental in getting the film and gig together and we all have danced to Rudy's 'Suffering Wrath' down those fam

A few of you will know that there is going to be a change of management at the Benn Hall & that we were concerned as to whether our all-nighters were still going to go ahead. We have been pushing for answers since October last year when they wouldn't take deposits for any event after February. We have finally been told that there shouldn't be a problem. Panic over (hopefully) and thanks to everyone who showed their concern & support.

Saturday the 23rd of June is the next installment of the Rugby Soul Club allnighters. Why is this significant I hear you ask ? Quite simply because it's the only allnighter on this weekend, and in these days of overkill with venues, that is significant in itself. Rugby has established itself as one of the major allnighters over the last few years and is fast approaching it's tenth anniversary, something not achieved by most allnighters these days. More than that t
