Anyone with any love of the music should be aware of Dave's influence. You are call welcome to attend this event in Sheffield at the picket music park,Charter square in Sheffield.

Last outing at the Belvo. Shame, could have gone on to great things there. But, we don't renege' or give up. We are actively looking for the next venue and will keep you all posted on that. Meanwhile let's go out on a high.
BCN Soul Club so far:-
 
Our soul cub has gone through many changes since it’s conception in Colne back at the Tapsters Bar on New Market Street. Unfortunately we had to leave there because of financial pressures on Oliver the owner. We loved it there, and would still be there today if it was still open in the same format. But sadly, it is not, and the present owners did not require our services.
In those days we were called the Colne Soul Collective, and we were not too worried about what was played as long as the Dj who dropped the sound liked it. We had many guests, and little worries.
So we needed to look for another venue, which we found in Burnley at the Cirq Cafe Bar. Here we called ourselves the Cirq Soul Collective. Again we enjoyed a couple of years of more of the same thing. These were small venues which we found great for playing the more unusual tunes we liked to play. Things sadly went pear shaped here too, which lead us to look for another venue.
We found that in the Belvo. Things became different here, the room was large enough for dancing which created a different dynamic. We changed our name to the BCN Soul collective. (Burnley Colne & Nelson) but now, we find we need to cater for people who would like to dance.
Nothing wrong with that, as the whole scene is about dancing to good Soul music. This is where we have found it a little difficult to achieve a good balance, ie. Dancing tunes, as apposed to new tunes or little played tunes. I like to think that we shall get the balance right in the future. At least we understand the issues we face and are trying to address them. We have always been progressive in our outlook. For instance, we tell guest Dj’s they are free to play whatever they want. As apposed to play floor fillers. I’m sure the Dj’s would all like to play unknown floor fillers, but it doesn’t happen that way.
So things have now changed at the Belvo and we are on our last gig there this weekend. We do have another venue in prospect. So we would like to leave the Belvedere on a high, and news of our next venue will be soon be available to you all.
So hopefully you can all be there on the next step of our journey?
