***UPDATE***
Hello Ritzy folk!
Our April event is a real treat, with two incredibly experienced DJs with mega record collections who love to raise the roof.
First up we have Doncaster’s DAVE MACK back at the Ritzy. Usually know for his big rocksteady and ska sets, Dave has a serious Northern collection and his last appearance at the Ritzy went down as one of our best nights ever. Many people open mouthed saying ‘f—k, I didn’t know he had this!’. Heavy northern. 
And then, as if that’s not enough, we also have DAWN BROWN, one half of the celebrated Scenesville crew, who took over the Notre Dame hall in Leicester Square in the early noughties for those legendary all-nighters. Expect epic tunes, emotions running high. 
Add to that the fact that the sun may be starting to come out then you’ve got the makings of a brilliant evening. A couple of drinks on the balcony then hitting Ritzy the dance floor.
As ever, out Thursday nights are free, you only pay in sweat. 
See you at the Ritzy!
Jake, Donna, Lisa and Dougie X

SOUL AT THE RITZY is a monthly, sociable fun loving across-the-board soul night held in a brilliant venue – the club room at the top of the iconic Ritzy cinema in Brixton, London, just minutes from the tube station.
Music policy is 60s/70s soul, OVO of course.  It is neither a trainspotter's party or an oldies night. 
Your hosts JAKE LINGWOOD, DONNA DRISCOLL, LISA HURLEY and DOUGIE LING make sure each night packs a punch – and we bring you brilliant guests each month, as well as playing ourselves.
The sound system is top notch, and the venue has another ace up its sleeve – a large balcony overlooking Brixton’s Windrush Square.  It’s a brilliant venue and we’re thrilled/very lucky to have it.
We're now in our third fantastic year, and we’re really excited to have booked up a whole calendar of events for 2024.  (See attached flier)
Regular Thursday nights run from 7pm until midnight and are FREE.  And this year we're really excited to have four Saturday night specials which will run 8pm-2am and will be ticketed.
 
To keep up to date with all the shenanigans and going on, please join the SOUL AT THE RITZY FACEBOOK GROUP or you can follow our Instagram here.
We'll announce the guest DJs monthly.  So watch this space.
