Soul Brew at The George
The management at The George has recently changed - we were all bit shocked last month to find that the new guy had raised the bar prices quite steeply, but we've managed to sweet talk him into cutting us a bit of a deal for future soul nights. π Here are a few examples of the new prices:- House Lager - 4.00 Madri - 4.75 Pale - 4.75 Hells - 4.75 Medium glass of house wine Red/White/Rose 5.00 House spirit with mixer 5.25 πΊπ·πΈπ»

I counted up how much we had in the collection bucket for Maggie's Cancer Support at St James's Hospital - we made 122.49p. I've just paid it into Callum's Just Giving page. Huge thanks to all those who chose to donate - every single penny is very much appreciated by this worthy cause! β€οΈβ€οΈ

Soul Brew at The George
One of our DJ friends (Steve Sowerbutts) is undergoing chemo at St James's hospital at the mo - his son-in-law Callum has set up a Just Giving page & is currently raising funds for Maggie's Cancer Care Centre at St James's - he is running 10k every day while Steve is receiving treatment. Steve has in the past raised money for cancer charities, but as he is unable to run while undergoing chemo, Callum is running for him. At Soul Brew's event at Headley Golf Club, Thornton, Bradford, we held a bucket collection & managed to raise 106.09 to add to the funds. I will have my bucket with me at The George on the 29th, so if anyone would like to donate - any amount large or small - it will be very much appreciated. Every single penny counts! Here is Callum's story:- Iβll be taking on 490k of running, starting Wednesday 5th April. See my Story below which is also on my Justgiving page; Stephen (Loisβs Dad) has recently been diagnosed with a stage 4 Head & Neck Cancer. He raised money himself for Maggieβs Leeds back in 2021, running 50 miles in 31 days, As he is unable to run himself to raise funds again for Maggies, I will run for him. On Wednesday 5th April, Stephen will start his 7 weeks of Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy. In that time I will run 10k every day, with the last day being 23rd May, when he will reach the last day of treatment. This is by far the biggest challenge that I have decided to do. A challenge I feel I need to do, for a charity that is very close to mine & Loisβs families hearts at the moment. Please help me raise as much as I possibly can to support this amazing Charity. β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈGO CALLUM - YOU'LL SMASH IT LAD!β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ After our event at The George I will do a final count up & pay the money collected into Callum's Just Giving page.

Soul Brew at The George
NB - THIS EVENT IS NOW CANCELLED Unfortunately, Soul Brew were told at our June event at The George that - during a very recent change of management - our bookings for the remaining months of this year seem to have got lost during the handover & the new manager now has other events booked in for the dates that we thought were ours, so it's left us with no other option than to cancel our next few events at the venue. ππ HOWEVER - WATCH THIS SPACE - WE HAVE PLANS IN MIND!!ππ Soul Brew have yet another storming night in store for us in The Mead Hall - the upstairs function room at The George, Cleckheaton - where the DJs will be playing their usual mix of Northern stompers, Motown dancers, 60s club soul & up-tempo R&B, along with a sprinkling of rare & underplayed tunes thrown in for good measure. All aimed to keep the dancers happy & the floor busy - bring your dancing shoes! πΊππΊππΊππΊπ The Mead Hall has bags of character; a warm & welcoming atmosphere, with seating around the decent-sized dance floor, plus some nice little nooks & crannies for seating. There is a car park & there will be menus available at the bar for food to order from the downstairs bistro. Record dealers are always welcome. The George is very easy to find - just up the road from Cleckheaton bus station & facing onto the park. Card payments are accepted at the bar, but cash only on the door please. βββββOUR GUEST DJ FOR DECEMBER IS SOUL ON SUNDAY'S ADE RUSHWORTH βββββ

Soul Brew @ headley Venue
Hi all - Kath here with a bit of feedback from Soul Brew's first event at Headley Venue. There were some familiar faces in the room, plus lots of new ones which meant the DJs had to work hard to do the dance floor justice.. on top of the usual mix of Northern, Club Soul, R&B & rarer tunes, the DJs all dug a bit deeper into the record boxes - lo & behold - a bit more Motown, underplayed and popular- and the dance floor was packed! A massive shout out to guest on the night Vicky Darbyshire from Ripon City Soul Club who played a storming set- brilliant as ever . Glad to say that everybody said they'd had a good night & also that Headley say they would like Soul Brew to do more soul nights there in the future, so watch this space! As always - thanks everyone for coming and thanks for dancing - your support is very much appreciated! PS - The bucket collection that we did for Maggie's to support our DJ mate Steve Sowerbutts while he's undergoing treatment for cancer raised 106.09p - huge thanks to all who donated. I'll be rattling the bucket again at The Bistro at the end of the month & I'll update the total collected when I've had a final count up.

People who can't resist from being sarcastic
I've always thought that if you can't say anything good about someone then it's best to keep your mouth shut & say nothing at all. Seems to have kept me out of trouble so far......mostly.....π

Soul Brew @ The Mead Hall
So sorry to disappoint everyone, but we have just taken the decision to cancel tonight's event due to the bad weather - tonight's forecast is for the temperature to drop to -7 in this area so the icy roads will be absolutely lethal! π° Take care & hope you will be able to join Soul Brew at one of our future events!

The soul scene
I agree Stephen - I think things have changed since the lockdown ended - as you say the atmosphere at some events seems to be different. People don't seem to be going out quite so often as they used to - I know of so many events that are really struggling with low numbers now. Could that be because there just isn't as much money around at the mo - or maybe we're all getting a bit too long in the tooth to be going out every weekend & happy to stay in with a few mates round for a drink & a few tunes? Having said that - I know of other events that are absolutely thriving!
