The Allergies (live) + DJ Sam Redmore + club night after
Maryam Snape posted a soul guide event in Live Artists / Misc
Saturday 24th June The Night Owl & Diplomats of Sound present playing live THE ALLERGIES The duo of DJ Moneyshot and Rackabeat have been delighting dance floors and lighting up the radio airwaves since forming The Allergies in 2012. Year in, year out, they've sharpened their skills on the turntables and in the studio, dropping one dynamite record after another. Clocking up 'Album of The Day' gongs, national ad campaign spots, and Radio 6 Music A-list status, the pair show no sign of stopping the fun. They're about to cut the ribbon on their fifth album, Promised Land. Another showcase for their feel good funk, soul sampling savvy, and party-starting hip-hop. As usual, the Bristol-based beatmakers have assembled a crack team to help bring their loops to life. LA rap legend, Andy Cooper is back on board, alongside the mighty pipes of Marietta Smith - Both staples of The Allergies live show act. Plus, guest spots from some super special MCs from both sides of The Pond, and quite possibly the most explosive sample-heavy tracks of their career, so far. Over the last year they found some light amongst the darkness, seeking out solace and release by making beautiful music, dug from old record stacks. And they can't wait to get back on the road, letting everyone back into their world, once more. "The Allergies music is big, bouncy and fat! Just how I like my funk" - Craig Charles, BBC Radio 6 Music + SAM REDMORE (DJ) Doors open 8pm, Tickets from £12 entry here https://bit.ly/allergies23 or £16 on the door includes club night after. -

Town Hall and The Night Owl come together to bring The Big Birmingham Soul Night! Saturday 12th February (rescheduled from November) Town Hall is one of the city's most renowned and prestigious music venues, and has joined forces with a relative newcomer which has already made its mark on the UK soul scene and voted Best New Venue by the Birmingham Mail readers last year, The Night Owl. The two venues are working together to bring back The Big Birmingham Soul Night this April. The event, which harks back to soul nights of the 60's and 70's, will be programmed by The Night Owl and held at Birmingham Town Hall. This beautiful listed building boasts a giant wooden floor, perfect for Northern Soul and Mod style dancing, with an elegant balcony for those who would prefer to just relax and enjoy the dancing below. There will also a smaller second room of music, with its own bar and seating, record buying and selling and more. Confirmed to head up this evening is legendary DJ Colin Curtis, who began DJing in the late 1960s at the Crystal Lake Ballroom and the infamous Golden Torch in Stoke and later Blackpool Mecca. He is often cited as being one of the most important tastemakers of black music in the UK. Colin will be playing music from his Torch days, so you can expect the Northern Soul classics that Colin broke and much more, all on original vinyl. DJs Colin Curtis (Golden Torch/Blackpool Mecca) Sonny & Spare (The Boogaloo/The Night Owl) PEP (Catacombs) Mazzy Snape (The Night Owl) Adrian Hawkins (AWOL) 9pm till 4am £12 advance tickets available here- https://bit.ly/BhamSoulFeb from £14 on the door
