Note: Venue change from Albert Hall to Gorilla.
Due to unforeseen circumstances Soul Town featuring Martha Reeves & the Vandellas that’s taking place this Saturday 22nd July is having to move from Albert Hall to Gorilla.
All tickets remain valid for the new venue, opening times remain the same, and Gorilla is only few minutes walk from Albert Hall too!
Soul Town launches at Albert Hall (Manchester) this July with American vocal group Martha Reeves and the Vandellas headlining the event. When looking for the perfect presentation of the Motown sound and style, few fit the bill as well as Martha Reeves & The Vandellas. Martha is Motown’s ultimate diva and one of the biggest names in Motown history. They’ve produced timeless hits such as ‘Dancing in the Street’, ‘(Love is like) A Heatwave’ and ‘Jimmy Mack’ amongst many others. We are honoured to have them fly into the UK just for the occasion.
Next up, Norman Jay is unquestionably one of the most respected and popular DJs around today. He is the cofounder of London’s KISS FM and has been pushing the boundaries of the UK club culture for decades. His legendary Good Times parties have travelled around the UK causing ripples and bringing amazing vibes. He will be doing special Northern Soul + mod classics set!
Joining Martha + the Vandellas is DJ Russ Winstanley, northern soul DJ + founder of ‘Soul All Nighters’ at Wigan Casino; a party that won a plethora of awards during its prime. He was at the centre of the Northern Soul movement and we are extremely excited for him to bring a slice of that spirit to Manchester!
Long time friend of Russ Winstanley, Alan King is coming down to play too! Having been on the scene since the 60s, expect knowledge like no other. Completing the line up is Manchester’s own Black Bee Soul Club who has been bringing Northern Soul to Manchester’s young, and forever young, souls for many years! They’ll be opening the evening alongside a troupe of professional Northern Soul dancers who will be stepping and spinning on our traditional raised bouncy dance-floor. This is sure to resurrect some classic golden memories!
At Soul Town expect classic Northern Soul, Motown, 60’s club classics plus 2 live performances from Martha Reeves & The Vandellas. This is going to be one party you are not going to want to miss!
DOORS 8PM – 3AM.
