Tuesday 27th December - SO SOULFUL 70's returns to the The RAF Club in Leyland. Steve Plumb & Eddy Edmondson will be joined by two quality guest DJ's - Flanny & Pete Mason. It's going to be a cracking night slotting nicely in between Xmas & New Year. The night runs from 8pm til 12.30am. Two great guests, loads of great music and a mighty sound system. What's not too like? Tickets are going well and we think it's going to be a superb night. You can pay on the door OR tickets can still be purchased from http://www.soulmusic.co.uk/tickets.htm We hope to see you there x

***STOP PRESS*** Tonight we are starting at 7.30pm with Butch's first set starting at 9pm. Before that we have three 'back of the box' sets from Steve Plumb, Barry Maleedy & Flanny to set the tone for the night. No pressure on the dance floor but if you fancy a mid-tempo merengue, please be our guest Everyone who has bought tickets can pick them up on the door. Everyone who has reserved tickets can pay for them on the door. We always hold back a few tickets, so we can offer a limited PAY ON THE DOOR service too. If you haven't made your mind up to come yet, there's still time! Last minute tickets can still be bought from www.soulmusic.co.uk/tickets.htm When you get here, please give your details to our lovely receptionist (Barry's daughter) and she will get you into the venue as smooth as one of Flanny's Group Soul Supremacy 45's Looking forward to seeing everyone later. Don't forget to bring a few extra quid as Fish will be here with his stall, not to mention Soul Sam with his box of goodies and probably a few other killer sales boxes too? See y'all later Cheers Steve x PS - Directions - Sat Nav's should sort you out but remember when come off at M6 J23 and head towards Manchester on the A580 you will need to whizz round the first roundabout you come to and head back on the A580 for a few 100 yeards before turning left. That's caught a few out over the years The Golf Club is on your left after a couple of hundred yards, be careful not to whizz past it!

Let's face it, the world's No 1 Rare Soul DJ never normally does an 'early doors, back of the box' set anywhere! The world's No 1 Rare Soul DJ always does the Main set, naturally! Makes sense! But at our 'Spirit of The Orwell' night at Haydock Golf Club on Saturday 26th November 2022, the world's No 1 Rare Soul DJ will do BOTH. On the night BUTCH will be playing an 'early doors, back of the box' set of mid-tempo soulful madness mainly for the listeners and connoisseurs (although dancing will be allowed LOL) FOLLOWED BY a later Main set for the dancers. The first set will be kind of like 'The last hour of The Mecca in reverse' LOL Imagine the tunes that BUTCH has that you never EVER hear him play? Well on the night of SAT 26th NOV you can hear tunes that will be outstanding and probably unknown to all of us in the room? The prospect is mouth-watering. So along with our annual BUTCH fest of killer 60's, 70's & 80's dancers at Haydock, we will get to witness mid-tempo/down-tempo tunes early on that will put goosebumps on your goosebumps! Spread the word because as far as we know, this is another first and another 'I was there' night in the making? So that's the return of BUTCH to our 'Spirit of The Orwell' night on Saturday 26th November 2022 at Haydock Golf Club. Tickets can be bought from http://www.soulmusic.co.uk/tickets.htm OR you can message me to reserve tickets and pay on the night. Please feel free to share. Cheers Steve x

Totally honoured and fully looking forward to playing at the 6T's 100 Club all-niter on Saturday 5th November 2022. A massive tick on the bucket list for me and so looking forward to sharing the experience with my good friend and ace DJ Bob Cosby, along with the legendary resident 100 Club DJ's. I hope it's possible for anyone who fancies it to get down to London for the night and fingers crossed the trains are running? Cheers Steve

This will be getting an airing on Saturday. Not 70's as such, as it was only made in 2021 but sounds like it came right out of 1973 - killer tune due out in October x

Wow! What a night at Haydock Golf Club on Saturday! Lived up to all our expectations and then some! Soul Sam & Arthur Fenn were both just simply wonderful. The format of the night seemed to be right too and I know Sam & Arthur both loved the opportunity of looking back at their past glories, along with playing many of their current spins and finally finishing with lots of their favourite ever tunes. Three hours of bliss that will live long in the memory. Massive thanks to both these legends of our scene and also thanks to everyone who supported us on Saturday too. A really healthy crowd for an Easter Saturday who came from all corners of the UK ready for a good night and that's what they helped create! It nearly went horribly wrong. Steve Connor had to pull out in the week due to covid and on the last moment we nearly had no sound system as Barry Maleady went down with gastric flu and literally had to get out of his sick bed to get the equipment installed. After setting up Barry went back to bed only to return at 1.30am to pick it up again. In Barry's words there was no way he was letting anyone down'. Of course he couldn't DJ either, so myself and Flanny had to fill in the gaps between Sam & Arthur's themed sets. Best moment of the night for me was at 9pm on the dot. Me and Flanny had been double decking out the back of our boxes with the lights on when we handed over to Sam. His first tune was the first of his lookback set with 'Daybreak - I Need Love'; the record started, the lights went off and instantly the dance floor was rammed and that's pretty much how it stayed until 1.30am on Sunday. Loads of brilliant records played all night, loads of brilliant people having a ball, just how we like it. Thank you once again to everyone who supported us. I think it goes without question that we MUST do this again next April. Sam & Arthur were adamant about it too, so watch this space! In the meantime we start to prepare for the return of the mighty Butch on Saturday 26th November. Thanks again. Steve Plumb - April 2022

Please feel free to share and spread the word for THIS Saturday 16th April - Sam & Arthur 'BACK TOGETHER AGAIN'

THIS Saturday 16th April is shaping up to be another 'I WAS THERE' night at Haydock Golf Club. We always look at doing something a little different and this Saturday we offer you a THREE HOUR set from two legends of the Modern Soul Scene SOUL SAM and ARTHUR FENN. Themed in such a way as to cover their past glories and monster tunes from legendary venues PLUS their current spins which are still way ahead of most normal DJ's PLUS random selections of both of their personal faves from five decades of Modern Soul. Soul Music does not get any better! Orwell regulars Steve Plumb, Barry Maleady, Flanny & Steve Connor will also be there to fill in the gaps! Tickets can be bought from from www.soulmusic.co.uk/tickets.htm OR you can 'Pay On The Door', as we haven't got the same restrictions as last time. Please feel free to share and spread the word for THIS Saturday 16th April - Sam & Arthur 'BACK TOGETHER AGAIN'

STOP PRESS - Soul Sam & Arthur Fenn will be spinning for THREE HOURS on Saturday 16th April at Haydock with Lookbacks, Current Spins and Personal Faves to feature heavily.... Who's up for it? Tickets from http://www.soulmusic.co.uk/tickets.htm although we now have a limited 'Pay On The Door' policy, as we haven't got the same restrictions as last time. Please feel free to share and spread the word

As the flyer says, Soul Sam & Arthur Fenn have been pushing the boundaries of Modern Soul for over four decades now. Proper trailblazers who have set the tone for the rest of us too follow (but yet we never catch up, as 'whoosh' they continually move onto to higher plains). Certainly two of the scenes most popular DJ's together again for one great night, celebrating the early days of the Modern Soul scene right up to today's floor filling monsters and beyond. Easter Saturday 16th April 2022 will be another memorable night at Haydock Golf Club. Tickets on sales now from www.soulmusic.co.uk/tickets.htm There will be a 'pay on the door' option but best to secure your ticket now to see two legends in action! See you there x

All tickets now - SOLD OUT - See everyone later xxxxxxx

Still a couple left due to storm fooking arwen Please drop me an email on sales@soulmusic.co.uk Cheers Steve

Sod's Law, we all stay well and steer clear from covid and a fooking storm comes in and tries to stop folks from Scotland, North East, The Lake District and Yorkshire from attending tonight. Hopefully most will still be able to get here, as once here the weather is OK and improving throughout the night in those areas for getting back. However, we've had a couple of casualities BUT 'every cloud' and all that means we now have a few spare tickets. Anyone fancying coming tonight, we may be able to fit you in? Please drop me a PM thru Facebook or email sales@soulmusic.co.uk and we can hopefully arrange a 'pay on the door' thang? Please don't turn up 'on spec' though as it's likey these spare tickets will be taken? Cheers Steve

Sooooooo looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow. I think the mouth-watering thought of listening and dancing to BUTCH playing a TWO HOUR set full of 60's, 70's & 80's Rare Soul goodies is such an attraction, that we are now SOLD OUT. I just wanted to point out a few things for tomorrow- Start time is 8pm (not earlier as our original flyer stated) End time is 1.30am with 1am being last orders at the bar. Directions - Sat Nav's should sort you out but remember when come off at M6 J23 and head towards Manchester on the A580 you will need to whizz round the first roundabout you come to and head back on the A580 for a few 100 yeards before turning left. That's caught a few out over the years Covid - PLEASE could we politely ask everyone to take a test before coming tomorrow. No need for any sermons, we all know it makes sense to protect us all. We will have santiser everywhere and please respect anyone who has a mask on, or anyone who wants to fist pump you, rather than french kiss you LOL Anyone want any other info - please shout up? See you on the dance floor for our next installment of 'Spirit of The Orwell' xxxxx
