Unfortunately, Soul Brew were told at our June event at The George that - during a very recent change of management - our bookings for July & August seem to have got lost during the handover & the new manager now has a couple of weddings booked in for the dates that we thought were ours, so it's left us with no other option than to cancel our July & August events.😭
So sorry to anyone who was looking forward to it - we're all feeling pretty gutted about it too - but our regular events at Jeremy's in Brighouse will all be going ahead as usual & we will be back at The George on Saturday 16th Sept, when Stuart Arber will be joining us for a guest spot on the Soul Brew decks. Hope to see you then!

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.🙂

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
🍻 🍷 🍸🍺

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

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.
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! ❤️❤️

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.

So sorry to disappoint everyone, but we have just taken the decision to cancel tonight's event due to the bad weather - tonight's forecast is for the temperature to drop to -7 in this area so the icy roads will be absolutely lethal! 😰
Take care & hope you will be able to join Soul Brew at one of our future events!

We had a full house for our first event at The George in February with so much great feedback, both on the night & also afterwards! I just couldn't resist sharing some of it so here goes:-
"Thank you for asking me to guest DJ, what a brilliant night and it felt so homely good luck for future events"
"Was a top night."
"Great night guys as always xx"
"Thankyou for a great night Kath,had a blast.xx"
"Good night "
"Lovely stuff ta. It was seriously one of the best nights I have had in a long time. You all should be very proud - it was electric. Can’t wait for the next one."
Every bit of feedback is always very much appreciated - glad to see that we got it right!

I've spent all day thinking just what to write about last night at The George - it was such an absolute blast that I don't even know where to begin!
We were supposed to be opening the doors at 8pm, but by 7.30 people were already beginning to arrive - by 8pm we had just over 30 in & people were stepping onto the dance floor! Clearly we were in for a very busy night..... By around 9.30 we had a full house & I was a bit worried that we might have to turn people away, but happily we managed to fit everybody in.......just.
The atmosphere was absolutely BUZZING - busy dance floor all night & feedback was all very positive from the get-go - everyone said how great the venue is - music spot on - bar prices good etc.👍👍
We initially had a slight problem with seating - we'd warned the venue that we were in for a busy night & would need lots of seating, but even then they underestimated just HOW busy! The staff soon realized & found more chairs etc. Teething problems that will all be sorted for our next event at The George!
Last - but by no means least - Soul Brew want to say thanks to everyone who came to support us at our first event - all very much appreciated. Thanks also to guest DJ Jonah - you played a storming spot & every tune went down really well with the dancers.
Looking forward now to our next event at The George - we'd hoped to book the 3rd Saturday of the month again, but the only date available to us in March was Friday 10th March so we've booked that & then hopefully we'll be back to the 3rd Saturday of every month.😀

Soul Brew at The George
Thanks to the hardy folk who braved that torrential downpour to support Soul Brew on Friday night. I thought when I saw the rain lashing down & all the deserted streets on my way to The George that we would have nobody there at all, but considering the weather - plus the weekender in Scarborough - we had a reasonably good turn-out in the end! It was great to hear people saying what a good night they'd had.
Thanks too to all the DJs - Soul Brew's Marc Silverside, Steve Yendley & Stuart Eastwood - plus Eccleshill Mechanics' Ade Rushworth. You all played cracking tunes from the get-go - well done guys. 👍
Thanks again to everyone who chose to join us last night - thanks for coming - thanks for dancing - we couldn't do it without you! Hope you can all make it to our next FREE event at The George - watch this space for more info.
Kath xx 🥰
