About The Event

The Aussie National comes of age.  2 decades after what seemed like a whimsical idea of gathering all Aussie based Northern Soul fans together for a big party, here we are still at it.  Not just Aussies (or Pozzies) either these days, this event attracts hundreds from all over the planet, including DJs with some of the rarest vinyl imaginable.  For the 5th time, it's Perth's privilege to host "The Nash" so pack your flip-flops, budgie smugglers and factor 50 for the Northern Soul trip of a lifetime.  More information will shortly be available on Facebook, on this event page and at www.perthsoul.com so keep checking for updates.  I'm also happy to answer any personal messages.

VENUE ANNOUNCEMENT

The Perth 2018 National “I Just Kept On Dancing” will be held over 4 days starting on Thursday 1st and ending on Sunday 4th November.  As is always the case in Perth, the venue search has been very challenging mainly due to licencing restrictions and having-a-laugh prices, but we did a comprehensive evaluation of all available venues and are confident  we’ve nailed it.  Contracts have been agreed and the format is 95% sorted so here are the details I can share at this time…

WEDNESDAY 31st OCTOBER

Early birds meet & greet somewhere in the city.

THURSDAY 1st NOVEMBER – IRISH CLUB – 1 ROOM

We’ve been using the Irish Club in Subiaco every month for the last 21 years and we wanted to involve the club in this year’s event.. so we’re having a night of underplayed across the board soul.  First needle drops at 7 until either midnight or possibly 1am.

FRIDAY 2nd NOVEMBER – EMPIRE FUNCTION CENTRE – 1 ROOM

Me & Kev checked out this venue 15 years ago and we were blown away, however at that time the Aussie scene was still a bit fixated on allnighters and sprung timber floors so it was reluctantly dismissed.  Nowadays though, when a nice cup of hot chocolate and 7 hours kip seem more important, we think it’s perfect :)  It’s conveniently located just north of the city with a huge dancefloor, 2 separate bars and plenty of seating.  The manager even whispered to us that sometimes people sprinkle talc on the floor to facilitate smoother dancing J..little does he know.  First needle drops at 7 until 1am.

SATURDAY 3rd NOVEMBER – EMPIRE FUNCTION CENTRE – 2 ROOMS

Same as above but with a second room operating downstairs in the Italian Club.

SUNDAY 4th NOVEMBER – VICTORIA HALL – 2 ROOMS

We’re off to the seaside!  In a first for the Perth Nash, we’ve secured the Victoria Hall in Fremantle and we’re going back to basics with a 120 year old building boasting two rooms with timber dancelfoors.  We’re still negotiating the start time but this gig will end at midnight.

In addition to the above, we will be organising afternoon gatherings on Thursday, Friday & Saturday afternoons including record sales & merchandising, venues TBA.  The full programme of events will shortly be promoted on FB, and also populated on www.perthsoul.com including maps, transport links and accommodation suggestions.
