Vinyl-only afternoon of R&B, 60s soul, Motown, Mod, Ska and Northern Soul from DJs Ronnie Brown and Dave Hamer at Chew's Yard.
Shake Yer Hips is back at Chew's Yard on Sunday 1 November, with Ronnie Brown and Dave Hamer on the decks. It's a vinyl-only afternoon, and the two of them will be working from 100% vinyl throughout the session. The music is built around R&B, 60s soul, Motown, Mod, Ska and Northern Soul, so it's a broad stretch of dancefloor classics from across those styles rather than sticking to just one.
If you haven't been, Chew's Yard is a Preston venue named after an 18th-century artisans' yard and historic alleyway that links Friargate and Market Street West. The site was a disused warehouse and joinery workshop converted into three interconnected spaces: a food and drinks hall with five independent traders, a versatile events room for live music, DJs, markets and arts events, and a leafy, walled garden. The raw surfaces of the original working buildings have been left intact, so it still feels like the warehouse it once was.

Ronnie Brown has thanked supporters for their musical and fashion choices and announced that the pair will be taking December off for Christmas, returning on Sunday 31 January to celebrate the first birthday of Shake Yer Hips. That makes this one of the last sessions of the year before the winter break, so it's a good time to catch it if you're around. It starts at 14:00 on Sunday 1 November at Chew's Yard, 103-111 Market Street West, PR1 2HB Preston.
