Best venue imho by far for Northern Soul in York with a wall to wall sprung dance floor in the ballroom.

APOLOGY

Charity Soul would like to apologize to the public and the dj's involved for the apparent confusion which has arisen regarding the dj's booked to appear at this event.

We, Charity Soul, can confirm that the event WILL  take place on the specified date  with a reduction in the entry fee , but unfortunately not with the originally named dj's .

Once again, Charity Soul sincerely apologizes to the dj's concerned for the confusion caused as it was never our intentions to mislead the public

Just to re iterate this is a fabulous venue right in the centre of historic York, just round the corner from the Minster, The Shambles etc. Particularly fond memories for me of this venue -  Peterborough mod band 'The Name' played one of their particularly memorable gigs there, when the venue had a large stage and used for mod and punk gigs in the late 7ts/early 8ts. More recently the ballroom has been authentically restored to as it is now, retaining the wall to wall wooden dance floor.

Since the original planning of this event, sadly 'Dekkas Roots Room' is no more - hence after much heart searching we resisted the calls for one of those (infamous) Northern Soul come backs/'coming out of retirement'. That all said, pleased to have been able to help Charity Soul in another way - obtaining the venue for them with no hire charge and great to now see that John Parker, Pete Lyster and Jonty are guesting along with the Charity Soul reprobates behind the decks. 

Tickets on sale now direct from the Theatre box office, details here
