About The Event

Listen Up! is a new night at The Crescent Club in York.

Our aim is to build a solid, honest little soul club based on great tunes spun for friendly open-minded soulies. We are starting off in the front lounge bar at the club with 100 capacity and hopefully (if people start coming!) the aim is to move into the main room with a proper dance floor and much more space.

The sound systems in both rooms are mint.

What you’ll get:
Dance-floor-focussed rare and underplayed soul from 65 - 70ish with a mix of Rhythm & Soul, Northern, RnB and Funky Edged Soulful Dancers. Your not going to hear many floaters and it’s not a top 500 night but I’m sure we’ll spin a few oldies at some point.

Guests
We want our guests to keep it fresh and relevant for today’s discerning ears. The idea is to get a couple under our belts and then start booking a few guest spinners who are at the top of their games from right across the North and further afield - you know who you are so expect a call!

Getting there
The venue is only 5 minutes walk from York Station. There is a car park right outside the venue and a bigger car park a couple of mins walk away. There’s a taxi rank just outside too and a chippy or KFC if you get peckish! There’s other good boozers close by if you get to York and fancy a few cheeky ones early doors.

Residents
After residencies, promoting and guest spots for loads of nights including Empty Bottles, Driving Beat, Black Bee, York Soul Club, Dogs Bollocks, Whitby, Drax, Roots Room, Beat Club etc. etc we got to thinking of starting a night in York a good while back but finding a venue in York is pretty tough. Thankfully Bob and his team at The Crescent are up-for-it and want this night to be a success just as we do.

York has been blessed with some fantastic soul nights over the years, put on by some of the nicest people you could wish to meet - Holgate, York, YK Soul, There Was A Time etc - and hopefully we can play a part in the next few years of Soul in York.

Hopefully see a few people down for our first night.

Cheers - Gary Brown, Dekka, Dan Guest

Soul back at the Crescent, now that is the dream and the dream is about to happen, pure unadultarated sixties soul music with attitude. 

Time to bring back attitude

We are using this event which will be in the bar area as an introduction as we will be having a break and then returning hopefully september (date to arranged) in the main room.

Hopefully some of you will come along, have a natter, maybe a boogie and 'listen up' to some fantastic tunes.

cheers dekka

Launch of something a little different and certainly refreshing  in its approach for those who have tired of traditional ‘oldies’ event ...
