About The Event

Byron Northern Soul Club - as the weather gets colder the sounds get hotter!

Top drawer Northern Soul, pure and simple, guaranteed from start to finish. You'll get a warm welcome and a night of dancing and listening to just the greatest Northern sounds, all on original vinyl.

We are joined by our old friend FRED BENSON, from Scunthorpe who will be treating us to the very best of his awesome record collection, backed with a history that goes back to the very beginning of the scene. We're please to have MARK JOHNSON a Ram from across the border also joining us tonight - if he brings the tunes we think he's going to bring then we're all in for a treat. Residents Simon Richard, Nev Shooter and Stu Teece will keep the music flowing with nothing but quality original northern soul - eye-openers, floor-fillers and what-the-hell-was-that?'s

We're just a few minutes from J27 of the M1, with a large car park. Come and join us and our many Byron regulars for a night to remember - we'd love to see you.

    Well that was just pure quality from start to finish.

    Being a generally ignorant person about local geography I had no idea why this was called "Byron" soul club, I'd seen the flyers before with an oil portrait of Byron on, which looked very artistic but more like an advertisement for a  book club than a soul club; maybe the DJs read poetry between records? I thought. Anyway it turns out that Byron is buried in the church next door so there you go. 

    Great venue - first floor hall of this building, nicely done up and with a fantastic dancefloor and decent bar and the music was just amazing. I've been to a few Nottingham venues now and the difference between this and the West Midlands is really striking, there's little overplayed stuff but that doesn't lessen the quality one jot. I'd say about 66% of what was played tonight never gets heard in the West Midlands but I have no idea why not, because it's way better than hearing Helen Shapiro, Julian Covay and House For Sale twice a night. Actually despite 5 DJs there wasn't one repeat, something else that's a rarity in the West Midlands. Anyway that's enough negativity but from just one set you had The Startones, The Sweets, The Chants one after another anyone of which could be a highlight anywhere else; not to say it was all obscure Jonathan Capree, Cody Black, Salvadors and Tomangoes all made an appearance but the balance was just perfect.

    Didn't draw much because it's difficult to actually see the DJ's behind the big screens but you can't really complain about that. I will definitely return!
