Soul At The Church

Love attending this venue, and we've such good friends here too...and its great to get behind the decks here as well!.

Attendances over the last 5 to 6 months have been superb, always busy and always an appreciative and knowledgeable crowd, deffo not hard to please!.

Hope to the local gang out in force plus plenty of people from further afield

Russ and Mark do such a fantastic job in making this probably Shropshire's most popular soul night, almost 16 years now, cant be bad!!, the playlists constantly change so you're always guaranteed to hear things that may be new, or just not heard out for a long time, ill endeavour to make sure i do just the same.

Its SHREWSBURY'S BEST KEPT SECRET....The Masonic Hall, in CREWE STREET, just off Ellesmere Road, a lovely dancefloor, atmospheric room with a low ceiling which allows great accoustics....the venue is inside a decomissioned church!

Just to add once again:

If anyone at all considers a stopover in and arojnd the beautiful and histiric town kf Shrewsbury, there are plenty of air bnbs, Hotels both chain and independant...including, 2 x travelodges, Premier Inn and Holiday Inn.

There is a fabulous indoor market in the centre of town, pleasure cruises on the river, historical exploration of Shrewsbury Abbey and the many elegant churches, great cafes and restaurants, bars in abundance.

Its all easily reachable from M54, A49, A53, A5 & M6. Postcode is in the Freemasons Hall satnav details above.

This is a night covering all the bases, Soul music wise, 60's & 70's club classics, modern xover, Motown, rnb, Northern Soul, latino, beat ballads etc....something for everyone..theres no pre-ordained playlist, its just go with the flow.

After that mega night at Madeley, we move forward the classy Church....evening service begins at 8...Amen to that!️️️️️

Always looking to play different things and mostly underplayed or forgotten tunes, in the mix with current spins, new releases, classic oldies and modern crossover...just a small selection of 60's above!

Some great crossover options/suggestions as well, known and less so.

A few nice album tracks even?

A few non american oldies!

A quick calendar check reveals, there's nothing else on in Shropshire this Saturday night so, unless youre thinking of travelling further afield, then Shrewsbury has to be a very good decision!, fast coming up to holiday time as well and this is the last function before summer recess, get your shoes polished, and be prepared for a night of quality tuneage!....hopefully see a few more new faces/visitors alongside the regular crew.

Soul at the Chirch is for dancers only!️️️️️

Rob you're looking very smart in this pic, have you been visiting uncle Teds shirt designer?

Ah....thats hung in the wardrobe still....i couldnt match  Ted's stunning attire, let alone his records i do occasionally try to look half decent...hope the music's not too bad either 

Packed and ready, records sorted, fuelled up, 120 miles to cover but passes very quickly.

Always worth a stopover in Shrewsbury, and deffo after a long drive but, so much to see and do there as well as attending this fabulous venue.

Ive mentioned before there are lots of hotel, bnbs etc and at pretty much market prices. Shrewsbury train station is a junction from where you can reach any destination, and the m54 motorway network is close by as well as main arteries, the A49 and A52.

Please try and arrive early if you require seating and this tends to go quick.

The start of a great May Day bank holiday weekend begins, right here at the Madonic Hall, or Soul @ The Church as we know it.

Be safe travelling and looking forward to seeing you all there.
