The Soul Federation play a Christmas party of soul, funk, disco and covers at The Continental.
The Soul Federation are taking over The Continental on Saturday 12 December for their Christmas Soul Party, a night they're billing as their own party rather than just another gig. It's a Preston date, and they're the only name on the bill, so the whole evening is built around them.
The set is rooted in soul, funk and disco, with a good deal of it coming from covers. They've described the music as classic soul, northern soul and Blues Brothers, which gives you a fair idea of the territory they're working in: the old-school soul that keeps people on the dancefloor, the northern soul side of things, and the brassy, high-energy feel of the Blues Brothers. It's a broad enough spread that you'll recognise a lot of it, but with enough variety to keep it from feeling like a one-note night.
Because they're framing it as their own Christmas party, it's less of a formal concert and more of a night out. The music is the main thing, but the whole thing is set up as a party, so it's as much about the dancing as it is about the band. If you're after a night of soul and funk to get you into the festive mood, this is a straightforward way to find it.

It runs from 8:00pm to 11:00pm at The Continental, on South Meadow Lane in Preston (PR1), so it's a Saturday night that doesn't go too late. The Soul Federation are the only act on the bill, and the music is soul, funk, disco and covers.
