Woolie2003

If you were into Northern Soul in the mid-to-late 1980s here in the South, then you may remember the fabulous Night Owl Soul Club in Brighton. Founded by Jok Evans in 1985 and soon joined by the much missed and truly wonderful Andy Crane, these two spun magic Soul sounds every month at various venues. I remember Soulies, Mods and Scooter Boys all packing the floor and just loving the top sounds! So many records we'd never heard before. Other DJ's joined the Night Owl train giving us more great music: Paul Garoghan, Simon Penfold, David Nimmo and Lloyd Attrill. By 1993, Night Owl was on the last Saturday of every month at the Madeira Hotel, Marine Parade (later the Funky Fish) and had a membership of over 800 with folk travelling from all over the South, London and beyond. Night Owl wound down in the early 2000's, but it was an important part in keeping Soul music alive on the South Coast during those years. Well, it's been almost 20 years, folks, but for your pleasure, Night Owl Soul Club is back! A few of us decided to have a reunion, so here it is, with original DJ's Jok Evans, Paula Crane, Paul Garoghan, David Nimmo, Steve Woolston and Colin Baldock. Save the date, and we look forward to seeing you! KOKO Entry: £6 (in adv.) / £7 (on the door) Online Tickets (in advance) available here: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/south-coast-soul-club/t-rpxngqy ADDRESS: Brighton Railway Club, The Belmont, Dyke Road, Brighton, BN1 3TF

We hope you are able to join us at The Grove Theatre, under the Central Library right in the heart of Eastbourne town, for a full evening of across the board Northern Soul. This is a brand new venue for us and we think you're going to love it. There is a great wooden dancefloor and separate break-out area with licensed bar. The location is fantastic, and literally only 2-minutes walk from Eastbourne Railway Station (and main town centre bus stops). Special guest DJ for the evening will be Anton Ludwig (Hastings Soul Club) and he will be joined by residents Stu & Steve. As we don't quite know what the best capacity for this venue will be yet, this first event will be tickets IN ADVANCE ONLY and limited in numbers to around 80, so head over to the following link to grab yours before they (hopefully) sell out !! https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/south-coast-soul.../t-qjqxqyd ACCESSIBILITY At the present time we regret there isn't an access point to and from the venue that a mobility impaired person can use unaided. Sadly, no thought was given to such provision when buildings like the Central Library, in which the theatre is located, were designed. Northern Soul at The Grove Theatre Sep 24.pdf
