GT Residents:
Ian Williams (Bristol);
Mike Shawe (Hot Buttered Soul, Bristol);
Rocker (localunderground, dandelionradio.com, Bristol);
Additionally most of our gigs feature guest DJs, in case you get bored of our record collections! (unlikely as they amount to something over 10,000 discs).
We encourage vinyl sellers to attend our nights - this is where any profits will go - we think of it as recycling...
We are a group of Soul fans based in Bristol, England - We promote soul nights at various venues - we want to prove for once and for all that our hometown of Bristol is no longer the soul-free desert it has been made out to be in the past!
We play classic 60s Northern Soul, as well as venturing into Crossover and "Modern" (i.e. 70s) Soul.
Wherever possible we play original vinyl copies - we give thanks for god's great surface noise!
If you have a Facebook account you can join our group here.
We also like to venture out beyond the Avon ring road so let us know if you'd like us to play at your soul night / venue / party!
