Playing the best in soul music - all on vinyl with resident DJs and our guest DJ for the afternoon will be the very popular Tony Ollier. Tony was brought up with soul music in his early teens and went to Wigan Casino in 1975. He then moved on to the Ritz Manchester & Whitchurch all-dayers. Tony began to DJ in 2008 having become disillusioned with the oldies scene. He collects and plays predominantly 70's/ modern/crossover, but can still play his rare 60's ie Poets, Imperial C's, etc. Tony does not mind playing some group soul at the right venue, and will always keep his eye on the punters to see what makes them dance.

Well, after the episode of having to cancel our Christmas & New Year event, which was canceled due to high outbreaks of the Omicron variant of Covid-19, we are now able to move forward once again. We still feel it was the right decision to cancel and apologize for any inconvenience caused to anyone - we always have our member's safety as the highest priority! We have two dates planned at the moment, the first being Sunday, 20th March, and the next one after that on Sunday, 15th May. We are really hoping that now the Covid-19 situation is a lot less problematic, we can have a busy event similar to how it was before the pandemic started in early 2020. Dave, Mike, and myself along with the Ivory Bar management hope you can attend for a great afternoon soul music. If anyone needs any more info about the event please get in touch.

He also runs a Cellar Full of Soul Eclectic radio show and deejayed at the Whitby and Perpignan Weekenders. VERY reluctantly this event has been cancelled due to the increasing uncertainty about Covid & we thought in the light of the alarming growing numbers, trying to keep everyone safe was our over riding concern for everyone. 2pm - 10pm *** FREE ADMISSION ALL-DAY *** Playing the best in soul music - all on vinyl with resident DJs and our guest DJ for the afternoon will be York's very own Andy Bellwood.
