Plenty of weekenders on this weekend & if you're going to one here's hoping you have a great time, but if you've decided to stay local to Yorkshire you're more than welcome to come & join us at The Lightcliffe - we are always happy to see new faces!   

All our DJs are spinning the tunes simply for the love of music - not out to make money & no egos to boost - just the pleasure of seeing a floor full of happy dancers!   Hope to see you on the dance floor.

Thanks to all who came to support Soul Brew at their first event at Lightcliffe. I heard lots of good feedback from around the room........"The music was spot-on"............."nice friendly atmosphere......."......."The dance floor's great - no need for talc!"....."Thanks - we've had a really good night & we'll be back." One couple left with a thumbs up & said "Impressed - see you next month!"

So.....thanks & well done to all the Soul Brew DJs - it looks like you nailed it guys!

So glad that Northern Soul is back at this venue. 
We can’t make it to the first one but we look forward to future dates. 

We're all really pleased to see the Lightcliffe soul nights back up & running again too scubadog! Different DJ line-up, but still the same great atmosphere & fab tunes - hope you can make it there at some point in the future  

There seems to be some confusion as to the identity of Soul Brew - it's just four guys - Marc Silverside, Steve Yendley, Stuart Eastwood & his son Carl Eastwood - who make up Soul Brew. They have been around for the last five years or so & at the moment they run Sunday afternoon events at Jeremy's The Boat House in Brighouse, where the regulars prefer more popular, commercial soul. Now the guys are all really looking forward to playing some of the less well-known tunes that go down so well at Lightcliffe.

There appears to be an incorrect rumour doing the rounds that it's Halifax Soul Crew taking over the soul nights at Lightcliffe, but HSC & Soul Brew are totally separate groups with no connection whatsoever. I really wish people would get their facts straight before they try to spread rumours!!

First visit to Jeremy's for me - really looking forward to a good catch-up with all the Soul Brew guys! 

It's all shaping up to be a cracking night Gary! Hope you raise a massive pile of cash for Ukraine - please be generous folks 

PS - The venue looks fab  xx

First visit to The Tempest - looking forward to a good night! 

Just want to echo Laura's words above - I'm gutted but we had no other option  

Hi all - Kath here.

Just want to say - what a cracking night we had on Saturday! Our DJs Steve Dalton & Mick Elsworth - plus guest DJ Steve Luigi - played some storming tunes right from the get-go & kept the dance floor busy all night. Well done guys - you nailed it!

Thanks too to all those who came to support us - as always it's great to see the usual, regular faces, but also good to see people who had travelled from a bit further afield. We heard Barnsley - Burnley - Todmorden & Bristol mentioned to name just a few! Thanks for coming - thanks for dancing - we couldn't have done it without you.

Oooh & one last thought - well done to DJ Mick Elsworth for gritting your teeth to play your most hated tune EVER - The Snake! I guess it must have been a request Mick - I really can't think of another reason for you to play it - I'm surprised you even had it in your box!!

After a storming night on New Year's Eve at Soul at The Lightcliffe, we are now looking forward to our next event on the 29th January. Our DJs Mick Elsworth & Stephen Dalton will be joined on the decks by guest DJ Steve Luigi, where they will be playing a cracking selection of fab oldies for us all to dance away those January blues!  

Now for a bit of sad news - our Dj Stuart Eddie Woodhead has made the decision that he needs to take a break from DJing, so he will no longer be a part of our team of regular Lightcliffe DJs. You will be sadly missed Stuart - fingers crossed you will be able to join us for a guest spot at some point in the future.

Stay safe everyone - avoid the dreaded lurgy & hope to see you all on the 29th! xx

Well where do I even start! What a fabulous NYE event, thank you so much to each of you for supporting us

A big thank you to the DJs, Stuart Eddie Woodhead, Mick Elsworth & our special guest DJ Stuart Arber! Each of them carefully selected OUTSTANDING tunes to keep the dance floor buzzing all night & challenge achieved I must say

We counted down to welcome in 2022 (note to self choose a longer version of Auld Lang Syne next time ) and it was so lovely to see you all come together to celebrate

Get well wishes to those that had to miss out but we do hope to see you soon. Can I take this opportunity to once again wish you all a Happy New Year from all of us at S@L!

Best Wishes,

Laura x

If you feel more comfortable wearing a mask, please feel free to do so.

Sorry but there will be no pay on the door available on New Year's Eve & tickets are now sold out.

Well - that's the boring bit done - now roll on NYE! xxx

Thanks & well done to all those hardy souls who chose to brave last night's Arctic weather to join us at The Lightcliffe!

Hi all - Kath here. First of all Laura & I would like to say a huge thanks to all who came to join us at Soul at The Lightcliffe last night.

All the DJs - guests Stuart Arber & Mike Eastwood - plus our resident Stuart Eddie Woodhead - worked their socks off all night, playing us some cracking tunes from the get-go.

The atmosphere was great - the music was fab & it was really good to see quite a few new faces joining us for the first time! They all seemed to enjoy themselves & everyone left at the end of the night with big smiles on their faces & saying "We'll be back!"

Once again - thanks for supporting us - thanks for dancing & thanks also for all the great feedback! Hope to see you all next month when our resident DJs Steve Dalton & Mick Elsworth will be back with us & our guest DJ will be Dianne France.

Well.....tonight's the night - bring it on!   

We've had a few people asking about Steve Dalton (one of our resident DJs) as he has been missing from our Lightcliffe events recently. Steve has had health problems over the last few weeks (not covid related) but he has assured us that he will be back with us & in the peak of fitness at our next event on the 27th November. Get well soon Steve!  

Looking forward to yet another cracking night at Soul at The Lightcliffe!

Thanks to all who came to join us at Soul at The Lightcliffe last night - everyone seemed to be having a great night - we had lots of good feedback from around the room. Thanks too & well done to regular DJs Mick Elsworth & Stuart Eddie Woodhead, plus guest DJ Jeff Robinson - you all played some cracking tunes guys!  

Roll on our next event on the 30th October!

PS - Covid is still very much with us all! We  are hoping - not a condition of entry, just a polite request - that everyone will do a covid test before attending. Last month we had 2 last-minute cancellations as some had done a precautionary test & found to their surprise that they were covid-positive, but didn't feel in the least bit ill until a couple of days later - well done guys & thanks for doing that test!

if anyone feels more comfortable wearing a mask, please feel free to do so.

Roll on the days when we can all look forward to a packed house with no worries!

Hi all - Kath here.

Laura & I would like to say a massive thanks to everyone who came to our event at The Lightcliffe last night - you all helped to make it a great night. Hope everybody had a good time - we certainly did!

Big thanks too to the DJs for playing all those fab tunes - Mick Elsworth ; Stuart Eddie Woodhead & Stephen Dalton - the music was spot-on - you nailed it guys! Laura & I both heard lots of good feedback from around the room.

We had deliberately kept the numbers fairly low - enough to give a good atmosphere, but low enough so that nobody felt too crowded. Roll on the days when this covid thing is over & we can look forward to seeing all the dance floors packed to the rafters again!

Once again - thanks everyone for your support. It's you - the dancers - who make the night what it is!

Well folks - tonight's the night - the sound system is all set up now - ready for action & sounding great!

No guest DJ for our first event post-lockdown - while our regular DJs have been kicking their heels during the pandemic, they have all been splashing the cash on lots new tunes & they want the decks all to themselves!

 Here are the DJ times:-

8.30 - 9.15 Steve Dalton

9.15 - 10.00 Stuart Eddie Woodhead

10.00 - 10.45 Mick Elsworth
