  2. November will be our last event of the year and we’ll be following on from September’s amazing night with Pat Bleasdale & Valentina Savio with two more outstanding guests, Italy’s Aldo Barbieri and Wigan’s Jordan Wilson! Aldo needs no introduction amongst the European soul community, the man from the stunningly scenic Vallecamonica in the Italian Alps has been host to some of the most memorable nights we’ve had the pleasure of playing, so we wanted to return the favour by bringing him to Home Run. A great guy with great records, what Home Run Soul Club is all about! Unless you’ve had your head buried in the sand for the past five years or so, then you know exactly what Jordan Wilson brings to the party. One of the scene’s shining young stars who as well as putting on his own nights here in Manchester (Room At The Top) and Wigan, he has played some of the biggest nights around the country (100 Club, Kings Hall, Rugby to name a few) November 4th, Home Run Soul Club, see you on the floor! £8 Online & OTD, drinks offers now in place Tickets - https://www.homerunsoulclub.com/events/home-run-soul-club-november-4th-2023/ For more info on Home Run Soul Club plus links to radio show and playlists, visit our website - www.homerunsoulclub.com
  3. Home Run Soul Club returns in September with a sensational guest line-up, plus a new resident DJ on the roster! If you don't know us by now, Home Run Soul Club is a traditional across-the-board soul night playing the very best in Northern, Crossover & Modern in the spectacular basement venue of Grade ll listed Kimpton Clock Tower (formerly Palace Hotel, Oxford Rd ) Our guests for Septembers event are two Queens of the soul scene, Pat Bleasdale (Liverpool) & Valentina Savio (Genova, Italy). Pat and Valentina are revered all over Europe as purveyors of progressive and cutting edge soul who have brought together collections and setlists that never fail to fill floors and have collectors taking notes. Both of these soul sisters have played some of the best soul clubs on the planet from the 100 Club in London to the Hamburg Soul Weekender and are sure to hit the spot at September’s Home Run Soul Club. In addition, Home Run Soul Club has also acquired another resident. Michael Taylor knocked so many out of the park as a guest DJ back in April that we had to have him in the line-up. Mike (Can You Dig It / Altrincham Soul Club) is one of the most eclectic, knowledgeable and down right good guys on the Soul Scene and it’s an absolute pleasure to have him onboard.

From that The Beat Boutique was born and since it’s beginning it has managed to establish itself as one of the city’s best loved nights playing host to the best DJ’s from across the worldwide soul scene!

  7. Home Run Soul Club - The Glamour of Manchester There was a time!!... …Gene Chandler enthusiastically announced, ‘when he used to dance’! Where that dancing took place was never specified, but it was probably Chicago, Illinois… Industrial cities are often alike. They’re usually cold and wet, characterful, and steeped in culture; culture that is often formed around the city’s residents, and, in a circular way, their own relationship to that environment. In this regard, Manchester and Chicago are very much alike. These are also cities of soul and dance! Manchester’s latest soulful city-centre offering is Home Run Soul Club. Launching on Saturday April 8th, Home Run Soul Club sits beneath the Grade II listed building of the Refuge Bar and Kimpton Clocktower Hotel on Oxford Street (M60 7HA). Entering through its own private entrance, you drop down into the belly of the 132-year old building into a newly refurbished basement club with low ceilings, wooden dance floor and an impeccable bespoke sound system. There is even a little nook for sales boxes! And if you want a little break, or somewhere to go beforehand, maybe try the public bar or winter garden. Formerly the Palace Hotel, the home of the original Manchester European Soul Weekender (that lineup, that ballroom!) co-organised by Home Run residents, Liam Quinn, Gary Bratchford, are just one small part of the soulful connections that makes Home Run Soul Club a product of the city. Over the past 15 years the Home Run Soul Club Resident DJ’s have all had a hand to play in what the Manchester soul scene has sounded and looked like. Beat Boutique founder Liam Quinn, along with two of its residents, Mangas and Evans, helped oversee the growth and development of the Beat Boutique from progressive rare soul night to the city’s premier up-tempo / modern soul party, hosting NYC’s John Morales, Red Greg and Dimitri from Paris to name but a few.   Not just a club night, the Home Run team will host a live, warm-up radio session with their guest Djs on the day of the main event from 1-3pm, broadcast via Reform Radio and archived for future listens and downloads. Photo credit: Hayley @readysetjet. Home Run Soul Club is the combination of all that of which has informed it. A quarterly soul night with companion radio show & website, Home Run Soul Club will mix the UK’s finest and Europe’s best in an offering that will keep the basement venue dancing from 8pm through till 2am. The Industries that give cities like Manchester (and Chicago) their identity, come and go, but they leave legacies. The same can be said for their respective music and club scenes. With a little touch of glamour and a lot of soul, Home Run Soul Club builds on these histories, and it all starts April 8th! Tickets are available online at www.homerunsoulclub.com and on the door.
