Amazing Stories of Blues and Soul

If you are looking for plans for late May, there is a music event coming up at The Brunswick that focuses on the history of soul music. On May 23, 2026, the venue will host Amazing Stories of Blues and Soul, a show performed by the eight-piece band Ken Wood and the Mixers. The performance is structured around the narrative of soul music, featuring a repertoire that includes tracks from artists like James Brown, Otis Redding, and Aretha Franklin.

The event takes place at 1 Holland Rd, Hove, and it is worth noting that the venue has an age restriction of 18 and over. The show includes an interval, which breaks up the performance. If you are planning to attend, tickets are priced at £15 for standard entry, while concessions are available for £10. It is worth checking the specific booking details, as prices can sometimes be higher if you purchase them at the door.

For those who might want to make an evening of it, The Brunswick offers a dining option in the main bar before the show. If you hold a ticket for the event, you can get a 20% discount on food during the two hours leading up to the doors opening. It is generally recommended to book a table in advance if you intend to eat there, as it ensures you have a spot before the music starts.
