About The Event

The George Lawton Hall Northern Soul Night’s

In a life time of finding brilliant venues that fit every need we could ask for, you might be lucky to find one such place. However the team of Paul Kidd, Steve Connolly and Ian Wills, who brought you legendary clubs such as The Festival Hall in Alderley Edge, The Cinnamon Club (Bowden rooms) in Bowden have come up trumps with yet another venue that is on par if not better than those two.

With two dance rooms, one being a major ball room, sprung dance floor which is fantastic and large enough to fit the biggest crowd on the dance floor.

The other smaller room which is average and ideal for the purpose we will use it for.

Nice lobby on entrance which gives you a great feeling when entering any soul night.

Large free Car Park ideal for cars, coaches and mini busses.

Top DJ’s from up and down the country will be pencilled in for all the events.

Cheap bar prices compared with others in and around the north west.

Fantastic management who are willing to work with us on everything, to make this another venue to be talked about for years to come.

It really has to be seen to be believed so make sure you’re down for the first night, you won’t regret it.

Bookings can be done over the phone with the numbers listed on the flyer. Round 10 seater tables can be reserved with guaranteed next to the excellent dance floor.

Enough run in time to sort your dates out for what will be an amazing night.

Thank you Paul Kidd & the team.

Two Rooms  
Room 1) The very best tunes from The Golden Torch, Wigan Casino, Stafford etc.
With Paul, Steve, Ian and top A list guest Stuart Hutchinson.

Room 2) Oldies and Club Clasics / Motown

    The first and hopefully not the last Northern Soul evening at the George Lawton Hall.  Paul Kidd’s (kidda) latest offering follows the previous memorable venues, the festival Hall (Alderley Edge) in the noughties and the Cinamon Rooms (Bowden) that ended in 2019. This is another signature venue with a large wooden sprung dancefloor.

    This inaugural event did not disappoint, a full house in a large hall and the kind of welcoming vibe that is the signature of our scene. The DJs nailed the playlists, playing to a crowd that mostly wanting rare and classic Northern Soul dancers.  With a sprinkling of lesser played tunes to keep the connoisseurs happy.

    This was a two-room event. The second room playing classic oldies and seemed to be well attended.  I spent the whole of time in the main ballroom:

    Kidda was on the decks when we arrived, the venue already seemed busy, the dancefloor warming up nicely:  Adams Apples, Richie Adams and the Epitome of Sound.

    Next up Steve Connolly, the party now in full swing: Turley Richards, Alexander Patton and a guilty pleasure of mine, Gerri Thomas.

    Mr Ms finest and top spinner Ian Wills was up next. Mixing things up nicely with a terrific set: Tan Geers “let My Heart and Soul be Free, The Salvador’s, Cody Black” I’m Slowly Moulding”, The Just Brothers “Carlena” and the fabulous Al McCarther.

    Stuart Hutchinson gave us some crowd pleasers: Bobby Paris, The MVPs and Carol & Jerri. And a tune that seems to get better with age James Fountain “Seven Day lover”.

    Kidda took the final spot that included the Box office tunes Vickie Baines, and Cecil Washington. Classic oldies, Yvonne Baker and Paul Anka. Some girlie nostalgia with Peggy March.  And tune that seems never to have lost its popularity on the scene, The Metros “Since I found My Baby”. Kidda closed his set with the 100 club’s finest offering Carla Thomas “I’ll never stop loving you”

    An excellent and enjoyable evening.
