The country's longest running soul night continues into its 26th year with new promoters & a few changes. Having made many memories in the previous 25 years with Kenny & the crew, in which we are proud to have played a part, the new era begins. Whilst we make no promises to be here for another 25 years, we absolutely want you to join us at Goodyears to make tomorrow's memories today. With quality at the forefront of our events, we are delighted to present as April's Guest DJ the incomparable TED MASSEY, ably supported on the night by Allan Day, Mick Perrins, Michael 'Juggy' Jones & Gary Belcher. The Guest DJ's booked for 2023, & already into 2024, will underpin our philosophy of a QUALITY MUSIC POLICY. We look forward to you joining us at Goodyears.

UPDATE As has been well documented over the past few days, our beloved Friend, Soul Brother & Darlaston Lad Kev ‘Louie’ Burden was tragically & suddenly taken from us at 3.30am Friday 06th May, 2022. Kev has, & will continue to be, part of the foundation & fabric of SITH. Rarely missing an event as a fan with his lovely wife Jane, but also as part of the regular DJ roster. It is with DJ duties in mind, that this week’s event would normally be cancelled as a mark of respect as Kev was the Guest DJ for May. However, when this issue was proposed with Jane & family, the response was a resounding ‘No – Kev would want the event to continue’. The result is that a Burden will be Guest DJ at May’s event with all of the family in attendance. MRS JANE BURDEN HAS AGREED TO PLAY THE SET OF RECORDS THAT KEV HAD SELECTED TO SPIN. She will be accompanied on stage by Gary but this is very much Kev & Jane’s set as there is no doubt Kev will be guiding her all the way. Whilst not attending in body, Kev’s spirit will drive the night &, in discussions with a number of Soul fans & DJs, friends of Kev & Jane plus regular SITH attendees, they will be extremely well supported. Another regular Guest DJ at SITH, Johnny Jinks, a lifelong friend to many of us, will also be playing a short tribute set alongside residents Juggy, Bunny & Silky. In this unique way, Kev’s Soul lives on & SITH is privileged to honour the memory of one of the Black Country’s last few characters in the Soul Family. We look forward to your company on Friday 13th May 2022 from 7.30pm at Soul In The Hole, Darlaston Conservative Club, 3 Little Cross Street, Darlaston WS10 8ET, but please be early to guarantee a seat.
