Return of Caledoniasoul to Glasgow after a long break. 60s newies, underplayed and classic Northern Soul with Scotch Martin, Big Lenny and Keith Keddie. The 02 ABC2, 300 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow. 11pm - 3am. Warm up do at O'Couture, opposite the venue on Sauchiehall Street from 8pm.

Caledoniasoul started at the Woodside social club in 2001 and ran until July 2006. The night featured the best of the UK's northern soul DJs including Butch, Ady, Mick H, Mick Smith, Arthur Fenn, Ritson and Russell, Guy Hennigan and many, many more. Infamous for its sweaty atmosphere and full-on, newies/underplayed music policy, the club went from strength to strength attracting local and national media coverage before reaching a natural climax while still at the top of its game, and passing into history. Caledoniasoul returns to test the water on 30 July at the ABC2 in Glasgow with former residents, Lenny Harkins and Keith Keddie, at the controls. This is not a reunion. This is a new night with the same objectives as before; upfront newies, underplayed dancers, killer album tracks and a mix of top-drawer 60s and 70s soul music for dancing. Caledoniasoul is a nightclub first and foremost...a night out, that just happens to play northern soul. Where will it lead, who knows. At the moment it's a one-off so let's see what happens. Get in early for cheaper admission, and bring a towel.
