About The Event

Our aim is a proper old school soul do in the Bournemouth/Poole area again. In the "Spirit of the Uni' is a nod towards Dave's old club nights at Bournemouth Uni - so if you went to them and were disappointed when the venue was re-developed and they ended, come and lend us a hand in building upon (and improving) the foundations laid a few years back.  Loads of things going on locally, but none really bring in out of area DJ's to keep it fresh and lift the bar musically to the levels we all deserve.

The only music policy is Original Vinyl Only - other than that the DJ's (residents Dave Morris; Steve Malpass; & Stuart Ross - plus carefully selected guests) can play what they like across the broad Soul Spectrum. I'm very much of the view "if you don't clear the floor at least once in every set... you're not trying hard enough". BUT of course it's not about us - it's all about YOU. So if you're planning on coming along to get SOULcial with us and have any sensible requests - please let us know in advance.

Venue is The Newtown (Cons), and we will be using the smaller room (best of the two rooms) so self contained with our own bar & facilities. The dance floor will be 100% drinks fee and only used for what it is intended for... Loads of free parking round the back, and our own outside area for catching fresh air, smokey air, or just a cool down.

Here's looking forward to 2024 and growing our little south coast gathering together with you. La Familia.

Other dates for 2024 (guests to be confirmed) are:

  • Saturday 11 May 2024
  • Saturday 10 August 2024
  • Saturday 14 December 2024

All the best & see you soon.

Get SOULcial. Get 8-Ball. Get in the SPIRIT OF THE UNI.

Stu.

A refreshing night. It offered something different to dance and listen too. Well supported which hopefully will continue.  Many thanks to all involved and to guest dj Danny North (2 good sets) . 

Response from the promoter:

Many thanks for your kind words. We don't want to compete or be compared to all the other "local" soul nights that play the same old.... well you know. Glad we seem to have managed to do something right and bring a little watered down taste of the rare soul niters to the unwitting "normal" folk. Thanks again - your words and your support are very much appreciated.

Bit late with this review. Got to say a big thank you to all involved especially our guest DJ Danny North for playing 2 fantastic sets. Danny was my partner/resident when we ran the Uni soul nights & was great to having him back on the south coast. A big thank you for everyone that attended & we hope to see you all again in May when our next guest DJ is the ever popular Matt from Trowbridge.
