Oh yes! From a tiny basement club with just a few friends of the residents who were djs,vinyl collectors and scooterists over 10 years weve moved a couple of times but are now at a great venue with a fantastic in house sound system,a good floor so do not bring talc and have regular attendees from all over the country.Most of which have become good friends and are as important as the music or venue in making it was it is and keeping it gogoing.
Weve always played original vinyl only but when we started there was more british beat and a bit of ska now it tends to be rnb,northern and funky edged soul,moulded by the dancers as much as the djs who have played. We are pleased to announce our guest djs will be ANDY DYSON up there with the best of them for recent discoveries and resident at upfront nighters like lifeline and quality of soul this will be Andys first time down ay gogo 'BALD' MARK JOHNSON top rnb dj who has played all over the country and Europe too, EDDIE WAINRIGHT resident at empty bottles soul club in leeds who will be mixing up the rnb and big northern,MATT SNEATH resident at both burnley and bury allnighters and a fave at gogo mixing up rnb northern and funky stuff,GEORGE MAUHOOD a big 'crate digger' and the first funky edged dj to play gogo at our last venue over 6 years ago! SEAN HAYDON resident and promoter of soulfunktion and burnley allnighters another gogo fave who has finished our niters in fine funky style with some great northern too.JOHN STAPLETON and myself are your residents. We are changing it up a bit since the last two birthday line ups .We kept those the same but there are a few djs we want to get back and with a full calendar and our summer break its getting tougher and its all about trying to keep it fresh.

Record sellers are welcome,we normally have a few so if you like flicking through boxes of old soul vinyl bring some cash! Which reminds me there's no cash machine in the club but i think they do now take card payments at the bar.
There is free parking on the street outside,ignore the double yellows you will not get a ticket.There will also be bag searches as people have brought in the own alcohol in the past!There will be bar snacks and rolls and there is a macdonalds 5 minutes walk away which opens at 6 for breakfasts.Temple meads train station is less than a mile away.
Hotels get fully booked early in bristol and are not cheap so get on it now if you need one,there are also lots of guest houses on coranation rd which is near the venue.
