When Tina and Motown Came To Britain
I saw Ike & Tina live at The Wheel back in the 1960s - they just blew the roof off - absolutely brilliant!! The Wheel was quite a small venue with the tiniest of stages, so the audience were literally inches away from the bands. The artists sometimes used the same bar (non-licensed of course lol) as the rest of us & we would often get chatting to them while waiting to be served, so it was a bit like seeing your mates on stage. Never did get to actually meet Ike & Tina, but I was lucky enough to chat to quite a few other artists who played there. Didn't realize just how lucky we were at the time! Happy days - I'd do it all again in an instant!

J J Barnes RIP - King of Northern Soul
That's so sad to hear - he was one of the founding fathers of the soul scene - I saw him a few times at The Wheel way back in the 1960s. Lovely guy & a proper gent. RIP Soul manπ’

Last EVER soul event at The Low Moor Club
The Low Moor Club has been sold - once the sale goes through it will no longer function as a social club. As yet we are not sure of the closing date, but sadly we believe that our Christmas do will be our final soul night there.π

Soul Brew's Christmas Shindig at The Low Moor
I was really hoping that we would know more about the sale of the club by now, but after talking to the bar staff last week we're still none the wiser - they don't know any more than they did last month. In the meantime - here's some of the good feedback from our November event at Low Moor Club:- "Good tunes as always " "Just got back home from a great evening at soulbrew, low moor,was made to feel very welcome,great tunes from all the DJs,will be back for the next one ." "Fab night of tunes,danced my socks off, will pay for it tommorow" Sad to feel that December will probably be Soul Brew's last event at The Low Moor Club - but good feedback always puts a smile on my face!!

Soul Brew at The Low Moor
Hi all - Kath here with a bit of feedback from last night. I found a few nice comments on facebook today - thought I would copy & paste some of them so here goes:- "Good tunes as always π" "Just got back home from a great evening at soulbrew, low moor,was made to feel very welcome,great tunes from all the DJs,will be back for the next one .πππΊπ" "Fab night of tunes,danced my socks 𧦠off, will pay for it tommorow ππ" I would also like to say a huge thanks to all those who chose to support us last night - thanks for coming & thanks for dancing! As always your support is very much appreciated. Thanks & well done too to all the DJs - you played some amazing tunes guys! Our next event at Low Moor Club is on Saturday 17th December & sadly we think that by then the club's fate will be signed, sealed & delivered, so it will more than likely be the last ever soul night at the club. It would have been good to have a few more feet through the door last night, but then we were up against the footie! Hope you can all make it to the club on the 17th Dec - let's make LMC's last ever soul night an absolute blast!π

Looking at travelling for 6 months
I think that's good advice - I'd consider renting out short term too. I wouldn't want to come back & be faced with starting from scratch all over again either. Good luck & safe travels wherever you go! π

Soul Brew at The Low Moor
Soul Brew have been told recently that Low Moor Club is definitely closing & that the new owners won't be carrying on as a club, but we're still not sure of the exact date - it all depends on how long the sale takes to go through. My guess is that the club will go on up until the end of this year & then won't open up again in the New Year, so we only have our November event on Friday the 25th & then our Christmas do on Saturday the 17th December. Let's make both of them an absolute BLAST! π ππΊπ»π· It will be a sad day for all of us to see the club close, π’ but watch this space.........Soul Brew have plans..........ππ

Lost Worlds with Ben Fogle (City of Detroit)
I'd recorded it & watched it last night - I knew that Detroit was very run-down & deprived, but even then I was shocked to see just how bad it all was. Spread over such a vast area - abandoned homes & factories made it all look like some post-apocalyptic film set! I feel so sorry for the people who have no option other than to carry on living there, but also full of admiration for those who are working so hard to improve the area. Hats off to you all! Just by coincidence I have a few friends over in Detroit at the mo - looking forward to hearing all their stories when they're back here in the UK.

Soul Brew at The Low Moor
Hi all - Kath here with a bit of feedback from last night - BOOOOOM!!π§¨π₯π§¨π₯ People started to trickle in before we'd even opened up & it wasn't very long before we had a good turnout. Soul Brew DJs Marc Silverside & Stuart Eastwood - plus guest DJ Steve Sowerbutts - played a selection of storming tunes that kept the dance floor very busy - well done guys! The atmosphere was great - we had some brilliant feedback from around the room & everyone said what a great night they'd had. Well done too to the bar staff - the room-full of thirsty dancers kept them very busy all night! Last but by no means least, a huge thanks to all who chose to join Soul Brew at The Low Moor last night - your support is as always very much appreciated - we couldn't do it without you! π₯°π₯° Looking forward now to Friday the 25th November, when our guest DJ for the night will be Stuart Arber (Crigg Soul Club) - hope you will all be able to join us & we can do it all again! πΆ π΅ π§ ππΊπ»π·π

Soul Brew at The Low Moor
Now for some sad news! We at Soul Brew have known since we set up our soul nights at The Low Moor that the club was up for sale, so we were all very much aware that our events there would probably only be for a limited amount of time. Now there is a big, red SOLD sign above the door & as yet we have no idea of the fate of the club once the sale goes through. π’π’ So many of us - including me - have lots of very happy memories of the storming soul nights at The Low Moor, dating right back to when Paul Mitchell originally set up his beloved Black Cat Soul Nights at the club all those years ago. Soul Brew have a couple more events booked at The Low Moor - Friday 25th November & then our Christmas bash on Saturday 17th December - but after that - who knows? Let's all make the most of the club (and that oh-so-cheap bar!!) while we still can & enjoy some nights to remember! π§ πΊππΆ π·ππ»
