HALLOWEEN GOT SOUL

Halloween Got Soul is at The Blues Kitchen Brixton on Saturday 31 October, part of the 'Halloween at The Blues Kitchen London' series that runs across the group's venues all weekend. The night is billed as the only club night in town that pairs live performances with DJs, so it's a bit more than a standard gig — the live sets and the decks run together rather than one following the other.

Every Saturday, the venue brings in London musicians for two sets of soulful bangers, and this one falls on Halloween, so it's the Saturday night of the weekend's wider run. The music they're pulling from covers soul, funk, hip-hop and R&B, and the whole thing runs from 9pm straight through to 3am, which is a long stretch if you're planning to stay for the lot.

It's presented by The Blues Kitchen Brixton, located at 40 Acre Lane, Brixton, London SW2 5SP. Entry is restricted to over-18s, and you'll need photo ID to get in. Tickets are £6 for early birds, though those are limited, and £10 online or on the door. It's free before 9pm, so if you want to get in early and save a few quid, that's the way to do it. The live music kicks off at 9pm and carries on until 3am.
