Ilkley Soul Club V Rolls Royce Barnoldswick Cancelled

Update 24 December 2021

Really sorry folks we regret to announce that this Monday's Ilkley v Rolls Royce Bank Holiday Soul Special has now been cancelled.

Just had a phone call from the steward at the club, to tell me that his last two bar staff had tested positive for Covid. He is the last man standing at the Club. He has been in contact with those colleagues and so may yet get it too. Finding relief staff at this late stage is not possible apparently, so we have been left with no alternative but to call it off.

Personally, I am gutted, as after the last snow cancellation I was very much looking forward to getting Ilkley Soul Club up and running again with this showpiece event.

We will try to re arrange both this and the Phil Dick event in the new year once this latest scare has calmed down.

In the meantime have a Happy Christmas

with best wishes

from all connected with Ilkley and Rolls Royce Soul Clubs!

Ilkley Soul Club is pleased to announce a special Christmas Soul Event. The Rolls Royce Club in Barnoldswick has been hosting soul events on 27 December for the last 24 years.

This year however the Rolls Royce Club is unable to host its normal day after Boxing Day event. Therefore, Ilkley Soul Club has got together with the DJ's at Rolls Royce to present a special 'Ilkley v Barnoldswick' Soul Spectacular at the Hollygarth Social Club - home of Ilkley Soul Club.

Seven hours of the finest Northern Soul, Motown, & Seventies tunes played on original vinyl by seven DJ's - from Rolls Royce we have Roman, Mike Kemp & Lodgie and from Ilkley Keith Hudson, Ian Smith & Daniel Steel plus Martin Bateson from Otley making his debut.

4.30 - 11.30pm. Wooden dancefloor, good sound system, comfortable lounge setting and reasonable bar prices.

PS This is a one off event as Rolls Royce Soul Club will be back home on Monday 27 December 2022 and we understand will return early in 2022 for a Saturday night date too.

Update 23 December 2021 - Ilkley Soul Club is scheduled to go ahead as planned on Monday 27 December. However, please bear with us as the situation is 'fluid'. At the time of writing the organisers, guests, and staff at the venue are all clear of Covid. However, none of us have been locked away in the build up to Christmas so it is still possible that one or more of us could go down with the new strain. We hope not and we are very committed to going ahead on Monday. We will continue to test ourselves and keep you updated but we are very optimistic. (If we are in any doubt between now and Monday we would cancel immediately).  

Thanks Ian

PS We would ask that all planning to come take a lateral flow test before coming and not to come if they have any doubts!
