We are beyond excited to announce our first SOUL AT THE RITZY on a Saturdaynight.
To mark out these nights as special we are christening them SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE RITZY – and we are looking forward to bringing you a fantastic late night of dancing to rare 60s and 70s soul, all played on original vinyl by a top selection of DJs.
The SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE RITZY events will be ticketed in advance and will probably sell out as capacity is limited.

GUEST DJs
MICK H– we are so excited to have the legend himself coming down from Nottingham to blow up the dance floor (and the microphone)! Mick was one of the key players behind the era-defining LIFELINE nights, runs the amazing Boat House club in Nottingham and the city’s (in)famous soul weekenders. But more than that, Mick has been buying records since the year dot and has broken more massive soul sounds than you’ve had hot dinners. A massive presence on the scene, expect a HUGE set from a big personality – and we should be extra thrilled because none of us can remember when Mick last played London. (Was it the 100 Club? Capitol Soul???) Not to be missed.
JOEL MASLIN– You know Joel, 100 Club resident and general cheeky South London urchin – back again at the Ritzy by popular demand. A regular on the decks all over the country, Joel has superb hard to find tunes – and then will surprise you by reactivating a classic. The dance floor’s always full and we are employing extra security to handle his legions of fans. Expect soul, funk, rhythm and soul/R&B and all points in between.
AMANDA SULLIVAN – the first woman (we are told) to play at the 100 Club allnighters back in the 80s (we’re told). The Brighton Belle will no doubt be leading her crew to the dancefloor with the very first record. Three words – loads of fun. Getting hot under the collar already!
And of course, your hosts, JAKE, DONNA, LISA and DOUGIE will be there too making the party swing...
We hope you agree this sounds like a brilliant night.
