Yes! At Last

The infamous 'Leeds Central' Returns!

AND in the original venue that hosted, at that time, the longest running Soul club in the UK,

now renamed 'HiFi', 2 Central Road, Leeds LS1 6DE

This event takes place exactly 40 years since the 'Leeds Central' started to play Northern Soul (1971), so this reunion also serves as the 40th anniversary.

We have managed to get 6 of the original DJs from the 'Central';

Paul Rowan (not on flyer, late addition)

Tony Jackson

Rick Cooper

Dennis Billingham

Chris Mallows

and Steve Luigi

All of the above DJ'd at the club at various times.

with the possibility of more original DJs to be confirmed.

This is going to be a priceless trip back to the days when Northern Soul was at it's peak.

The 'Leeds Central' ran for 14 years from 1969 to 1983 and was the mainstay of the Yorkshire soulies diet.

Many well known Northern DJs cut their teeth at the 'Central',

and some of the biggest sounds made their debut at the club.

This is going to be an afternoon event on Sunday May 1st, the day before 'Mayday bank holiday Monday'.

The event will start at 1pm and end at 7pm that Evening.

You can expect to hear nothing but the best sounds from the 'Central' era, in the superb venue where the 'Central' atmosphere still hangs in the walls. The venue is superbly decorated with a top class sound system, wooden dance floor and fabulous decor.

This may be your only chance to experience one of the best loved, original venues in the UK,

So DO NOT MISS!!

Admission only £6 on the door.

*Dig out your original membership card for half price admission*

Thanks to Malc Burton who has put me in touch, we have now able to add to the lineup 'Paul Rowan'.

Paul kept me on the phone for over an hour today until I ran out of credit LOL! chatting about the days

of the Central and the people that used to go and who he knew back then,and believe me he hasn't

changed a bit, he can talk for England.

So Brilliant news, we have now added another Original 'Central' DJ to the lineup. 'Paul Rowan'

I will be receiving the tickets, flyers and posters for the 'Leeds Central Reunion' at the end of this week hopefully.

I will post the online ticket sales link on here on Facebook and on the event pages as soon as it is all sorted, hopefully by the weekend.

Please note there will only be 250 tickets on sale and 150ish places to pay on the door, so don't delay!

Also as mentioned above, anyone that has an original membership card have 2 options

1- Buy a ticket to guarantee entry

2 - Wait and pay on the door for half price entry but get there early.

There is no other way around this unfortunately as many people are asking me to put tickets on sale.

Tickets now on sale!!

Here is the ticket link for the Leeds Central Reunion tickets.

Leeds Central Reunion Tickets

Although you will end up paying a little more for a ticket, you are guaranteed entry whereas waiting and paying on the door you are not.

I suggest anyone who has an original membership card, get in touch with me for a half price ticket on proof of possession of card.
