Soul at the Man Resident DJ's Span and Mike Coburn welcome you to the 4th of our Soul nights at the Winking Man Pub in 2022. Come and join us at the most stunning of locations, a venue with an unrivalled dancefloor and sound system! Soul at the Man began 7 or 8 years ago and at first we relied on a loyal, local following. We now have Soul fans travelling from Stoke-on-Trent, Cheshire, Derbyshire, South Yorkshire, Greater Manchester, South Wales and further afield. We will be playing everything on vinyl as usual, Northern Soul Classics, Motown dancers, Sixties and Seventies Soul and of course some rarer and underplayed tunes thrown in! The Winking Man has absolutely everything a Soul fan needs. It is a gem in the Peak District on the main Leek to Buxton Road A53. It has beautiful surroundings and a large free car park. Overnight camper vans are more than welcome, however please contact the venue first to book your spot. If you don't wish to drive, there are plenty of superb local taxi services including minibuses. For those travelling from further afield, there is a great selection of local accommodation. Inside, the large bar opposite the stage sells a great range of refreshments at very reasonable prices. There is ample seating throughout the venue when you need to take a breather from dancing. In between the stage and the bar is the pride and joy of the room... the huge dancefloor. It will be polished to perfection and a pleasure to dance on. We must insist on NO TALC, DRINKS OR HANDBAGS on the dancefloor please. Tickets are just £4 each and are available from the venue itself, 'The Winking Man', 'The Fountain Inn' and 'Benks Public House' (both in Leek) or by getting in touch with myself on 07972675873 or emailing me at robspender@gmail.com. You can of course message me on here too. You can also pay £5 OTD. Any more information please call me on 07972675873 or the venue 01538 300361 or post on here.
