Something Differentsunday Soul

Top all-dayer the last time with a more than decent crowd - and more importantly raising nearly 200 quid for the British Legion, whilst drawing comments like this on the interweb.....

' It is those essential “Sunday-Soul-Parties” like “Horse & Groom - Doncaster” “Feed Your Soul - Newark” “Carib Soul - London” and the up & coming Beat-Ballad Haven of “Something Different in Shirebrook” where “My Garden Of Eden” is causing a ripple or two…

Whilst the erstwhile Raresoulman had these interesting things to say.....

"So here I was again at Shirebrook Football Club on a Saturday afternoon not for Footy this time but this for a Northern Soul All dayer.. got there @ 2pm my set was at 6pm I’d already figured out, I was gonna be captive in my place of fear for at least another 7 hours...... I settled in and listened… within 30 minutes I was in awe of the tunes that seeped from the speakers, imaginative, classy, unusual, unknown, Memories of 15 Jellyfish shivering on their shorts, were replaced by me searching my mind for, when was the last time I heard Len Jewels masterpiece by The Soul Shakers - You’re Turnin’..?

The 4 hours flew by, with stylus-drop after drop causing euphoric recall I’d not enjoyed since who knows when. A mix of 60s & & 70s Northern Soul, Belgium Popcorn, some awesome crossover and precious carefully selected treasures from the Beat-Ballad-Heaven genre.. my initial doubts where swept away by an avalanche of Soulful-Goodies…

Which brings me to Joe Arnold’s - No Clouds In The sky - even though I owned a copy, through those big speakers it had me unashamedly sending someone else to the decks to find out what fantastic choon was…

SHIREBROOK FOOTBALL Club is just a truly fabulous experience, a “Shawshank Redemption” cocktail of surprise & pleasure….

as long as you ain’t gone there to play football…"

And as the kind Dean Penford says, ' Place is run by very knowledgable, sincere, friendly people.'

There ain't many better ways to spend a Sunday afternoon 

Looking forward to the first 'Something Different' Sunday Soul Session of 2016, will be sorting me tunes out later, a bit of everything 60's, 70's, R&B, Popcorn, Oldies, Beat Ballads, hope its a good 'un like our  Xmas Anniversary do, which was fantastic. Free Admission, Great people, Great records, Cheap quality beer (Monday off work = a couple of extras).

We've been getting some great reviews, come and see what we do, You won't be disappointed. 

Hope to see you on Sunday

Cheers

Johnny Jones
