We are very pleased to announce that we are back once more at Brilliant Corners in Dalston. Our Guest will be the interminable collector, Brett Franklin of Sheffield. He has agreed to stick to the program and dig deep into his deep and mid-tempo soul, group harmonies, and ballads for some very fine selections . . . Also playing records on the day, a late addition to the fun is Mark Allbones sharing some of his gems, so we're very much looking forward to that!! The venue is fantastic, providing a nice range of food and drinks, and importantly an audiophile sound system that is one of the best in London, to hear these records in a way that does them the justice they deserve.

It’s been a while… we fully intend to kick-off where we left off, and what better way to do that than to have Carib Soul in the house! With Del, Michael & Mandie sharing gems from their collections, we await this nailed-on musical treat for the long anticipated return of COTB. As those of you who made it to our last event all that time ago will know, the venue is fantastic, providing a nice range or food and drinks, and importantly an audiophile sound system that is one of the best in London, to hear these records in a way that does them the justice they deserve. Be aware that booking is advised to secure a table through https://brilliantcorners.dinesuperb.com/, as it will be sitting only - but you can also turn up on the day, and there is plenty of room to accommodate.
