Soul Brew At The George

It'll be very sad to say goodbye to The George - we've had some cracking nights there, but all good things come to an end!

Can't really say too much at the mo, but we have plans so watch this space! 

Local author John Knight will be joining us for our last night at The George. He will be bringing with him a selection of signed copies of his Jimmy Mack novels - all based on the life of a young 1960s Mod. I can promise you an excellent read!

"The series celebrates the swinging Sixties, with a detailed look at life in 1960s Britain. Set in the fashion industry of the time, it explores the impact that it had on life. Multi-faceted themes explore societal change, politics, the power of the establishment, the class divide, the sexual revolution, religion, crime, and much more through an existentialist eye. As in all the previous novels, there is a soundtrack. Each chapter is prefaced with a recording that lends itself thematically to the written words and acts as a backdrop to the content."

Really disappointing to lose my local venue, with "easy" walking access, will now have to look further away..... enjoyed this through the pain of old age and post pandemic lethargy...

We were both there at the first ... hope we will be both there for the last night.

Just thought this was starting to take off ... shame!!!

We were very happy at the George & we'll all be very sad to say goodbye to it, but these things happen .  I can't really say too much just yet, but Soul Brew have plans........one door closes & another opens as they say..........all I can say is let's make our last night at The George a cracker & watch this space......

Well, there's only one more sleep until our last night at The George - have to say I've got mixed feelings! On the one hand all of us at Soul Brew will be very sad to say goodbye to the lovely Mead Hall, but also looking forward to setting up at our cracking new venue. 

On Saturday 18th May we have a one-off joint event planned with Motor City Soul Club at Halifax Irish Centre, when our guest DJ will be Lucy Brennan (from The Time Tunnel, Dublin). Have to say I'm really looking forward to that one!  

Then Friday 21st June will see Soul Brew setting up for our first event at our new venue - The Harold Club, Low Moor, Bradford! We've only very recently gone public with the news, but so far, we've had lots of very positive feedback from our friends on the soul scene about our new venture. I've been a regular at Harold soul nights for so long it'll feel a bit like going home for me! 

Soul Brew's regular at Jeremy's in Brighouse on the 2nd Sunday of the month will still carry on as normal.  

There's more info about our forthcoming events on Soul Source events page.

Onwards & upwards as they say! See you on the dance floor......

Tonight's the night folks - let's make it a night to remember! 

It’s gonna be a cracker Halifax Soul Club favourite as guest - plus the book signing with John- what’s not to like.

Hi all - it's Kath here with a bit of feedback from last night.

First of all, Soul Brew would like to say thanks to all those who came to support us at our final night at The George - all the DJs absolutely smashed it & kept the dance floor busy all night. Special thanks must go to our guest DJ Mark Rice from Halifax Soul Club for his storming set!

Thanks too to local author John Knight for bringing along a selection of his excellent novels for a book signing - all John's books make for a brilliant read!

Soul Brew have a joint event planned with Halifax Soul Club at Halifax Irish Centre on Saturday 18th May, when The Time Tunnel's (Dublin) Lucy Brennan will be doing a guest spot.

Friday June 21st will see the Soul Brew DJs setting up their sound system at The Harold Club in Low Moor, for their very first event there. 

Soul Brew's regular 2nd Sunday events at Jeremy's in Brighouse will still carry on as normal - for more info on all our events, please look us up on our Facebook page or find us on Soul Source.

Once again - thanks for supporting us - thanks for dancing - we couldn't do it without you!
