Hi all - It's Kath here with a bit of feedback from last night at The George. As expected, numbers were a tad down with regulars away enjoying themselves at the seaside and who can blame them in this weather? All the DJs played storming sets & the atmosphere was just electric! Massive thanks & well done to Soul Brew residents Marc Silverside, Steve Yendley & Stuart Eastwood, plus our fab guest DJ Mopsey. You nailed it guys! Thanks too to Chris Hill for helping to set up the sound system. The feedback that we heard from around the room last night was fantastic ...... "The music was absolutely mint..."........"Great dance floor..."......."Great, friendly atmosphere..."........."We both loved it & we'll be back next time..." Massive thanks to everyone who made the lovely comments - all very much appreciated! I've also spotted a few very positive comments on Facebook today, so overall we're chuffed with how things went. Unfortunately, due to the recent change in management at The George there’s been a mix up on bookings with a couple of weddings booked on the dates that we thought were ours, so we’re taking a break in July and August, although looking to be back in September. Meanwhile our Brighouse second Sunday sessions continue at Jeremy’s in Brighouse.. Thanks again to everyone who chose to join us at The George last night - as always your support is very much appreciated! Hope to see you at our next events - watch this space! Regards to all, Kath xx PS - Here's a bit of extra great feedback that I found on Facebook from our guest DJ Mopsey. Big thanks to Kathryn Magson for the invite to spin a few at the Soul Brew Soul Night . Like Kathryn and Chris Hill have said it was a Fabulous night . The Residents Marc Steve And Stuart all did Fabulous spots . Numbers was down but the Music was outstanding. Great to meet up with a few old friends who I haven't seen since covid and they all looking so well , I even made some new friends and this is what it's all about , going out and having a great time no matter what . Once again thanks for the invite, you've got a Smashing little club I loved it . Mopsey

I've had dogs all my life too - losing them never gets any easier, but you have to put your pet first. You'll know instinctively when the time comes that you need to make that difficult decision. I've always been there to hold my dogs right to the very end - it's so hard, but your pet needs the reassurance of you being there for them. My heart goes out to you Wilxy - I've been there so many times.

The management at The George has recently changed - we were all bit shocked at our March event when we found that the new guy had raised the bar prices quite steeply, but we've managed to sweet talk him into cutting us a bit of a deal for future soul nights. Here are a few examples of the new prices:- House Lager - 4.00 Madri - 4.75 Pale - 4.75 Hells - 4.75 Medium glass of house wine Red/White/Rose 5.00 House spirit with mixer 5.25

Such sad news - I saw Ike & Tina at The Wheel in the 1960s - one of my favourite acts - they just blew the roof off! Absolutely brilliant & so good that she survived the abusive relationship she had with Ike Turner to become the iconic singer that she was. We had no idea at the time how badly she was treated by him. R.I.P. Tina

Everybody that I spoke to last night said they'd had a great night. It would have been good to have a few more feet through the door, but we had some really nice feedback from those who came to support us. Great atmosphere - the music was good - the dancers were happy & the bar prices are good now that we've managed to strike a deal with the new manager, with some special offers on drinks promos. Big thanks to Soul Brew DJ Marc Silverside, plus guest DJs Sue (Steve Lawson's Legacy) & Joe Burnside for spinning the tunes for us. Thanks everyone for coming & thanks for dancing - your support is - as always - very much appreciated! All in all, it's a big thumbs up for The George! PS - Thanks to Chris Hill for the pics of our guest DJ Sue in action on the decks! xx

I counted up how much we had in the collection bucket for Maggie's Cancer Support at St James's Hospital - we made 122.49p. I've just paid it into Callum's Just Giving page. Huge thanks to all those who chose to donate - every single penny is very much appreciated by this worthy cause!
-
Well tonight's the night folks & I'll be rattling my bucket for this very worthy cause.! Please try to add a few bob to it if you can - remember every penny helps & is very much appreciated.

I think we could well be in for another busy night so please make sure to arrive early! This is Soul Brew's second event at The George - at our first event we had a full house by 9pm. Don't forget those dancing shoes.........

Do I Love You ? A brand new play by John Godber
Kathryn Magson commented on Mike's article in Event News
Think I might just give this one a miss......'fraid it's a no from me! -
One of our DJ friends (Steve Sowerbutts) is undergoing chemo at St James's hospital at the mo - his son-in-law Callum has set up a Just Giving page & is currently raising funds for Maggie's Cancer Care Centre at St James's - he is running 10k every day while Steve is receiving treatment. Steve has in the past raised money for cancer charities, but as he is unable to run while undergoing chemo, Callum is running for him. At Soul Brew's event at Headley Golf Club, Thornton, Bradford, we held a bucket collection & managed to raise 106.09 to add to the funds. I will have my bucket with me at The George on the 29th, so if anyone would like to donate - any amount large or small - it will be very much appreciated. Every single penny counts! Here is Callum's story:- I’ll be taking on 490k of running, starting Wednesday 5th April. See my Story below which is also on my Justgiving page; Stephen (Lois’s Dad) has recently been diagnosed with a stage 4 Head & Neck Cancer. He raised money himself for Maggie’s Leeds back in 2021, running 50 miles in 31 days, As he is unable to run himself to raise funds again for Maggies, I will run for him. On Wednesday 5th April, Stephen will start his 7 weeks of Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy. In that time I will run 10k every day, with the last day being 23rd May, when he will reach the last day of treatment. This is by far the biggest challenge that I have decided to do. A challenge I feel I need to do, for a charity that is very close to mine & Lois’s families hearts at the moment. Please help me raise as much as I possibly can to support this amazing Charity. GO CALLUM - YOU'LL SMASH IT LAD! After our event at The George I will do a final count up & pay the money collected into Callum's Just Giving page.

Glad you had a good night Chris - hope to see you on the 29th!

Good luck in the new venue guys - hope all goes well for you & fingers crossed for a busy night!

NB - THIS EVENT IS NOW CANCELLED Unfortunately, Soul Brew were told at our June event at The George that - during a very recent change of management - our bookings for the remaining months of this year seem to have got lost during the handover & the new manager now has other events booked in for the dates that we thought were ours, so it's left us with no other option than to cancel our next few events at the venue. HOWEVER - WATCH THIS SPACE - WE HAVE PLANS IN MIND!! Soul Brew have yet another storming night in store for us in The Mead Hall - the upstairs function room at The George, Cleckheaton - where the DJs will be playing their usual mix of Northern stompers, Motown dancers, 60s club soul & up-tempo R&B, along with a sprinkling of rare & underplayed tunes thrown in for good measure. All aimed to keep the dancers happy & the floor busy - bring your dancing shoes! The Mead Hall has bags of character; a warm & welcoming atmosphere, with seating around the decent-sized dance floor, plus some nice little nooks & crannies for seating. There is a car park & there will be menus available at the bar for food to order from the downstairs bistro. Record dealers are always welcome. The George is very easy to find - just up the road from Cleckheaton bus station & facing onto the park. Card payments are accepted at the bar, but cash only on the door please. OUR GUEST DJ FOR DECEMBER IS SOUL ON SUNDAY'S ADE RUSHWORTH

Hi all - Kath here with a bit of feedback from Soul Brew's first event at Headley Venue. There were some familiar faces in the room, plus lots of new ones which meant the DJs had to work hard to do the dance floor justice.. on top of the usual mix of Northern, Club Soul, R&B & rarer tunes, the DJs all dug a bit deeper into the record boxes - lo & behold - a bit more Motown, underplayed and popular- and the dance floor was packed! A massive shout out to guest on the night Vicky Darbyshire from Ripon City Soul Club who played a storming set- brilliant as ever . Glad to say that everybody said they'd had a good night & also that Headley say they would like Soul Brew to do more soul nights there in the future, so watch this space! As always - thanks everyone for coming and thanks for dancing - your support is very much appreciated! PS - The bucket collection that we did for Maggie's to support our DJ mate Steve Sowerbutts while he's undergoing treatment for cancer raised 106.09p - huge thanks to all who donated. I'll be rattling the bucket again at The Bistro at the end of the month & I'll update the total collected when I've had a final count up.
