The Sugarmill's first soul club night, with DJ Lydia Tara spinning Northern Soul from deep cuts to the classics, for over-18s.
The Sugarmill is hosting its first soul club night on Friday 5 February, with DJ Lydia Tara on the decks. It's called Sugarmill Soul Club, and the whole night is built around Northern Soul, from the deep cuts that rarely get played to the classics everyone knows. If you've never heard the term, Northern Soul is a dance music culture that grew out of the 1960s, centred on fast, upbeat soul records that were often overlooked in their time. Tara's set will pull from both ends of that spectrum, so you'll get the big, recognisable floor-fillers alongside the rarer finds.
It's billed as beginner-friendly, so you don't need to know your way around a record collection to fit in. If you've never been to a soul night before, this is a good place to start. It's strictly over-18s, and the music is the only thing on the bill.
The Sugarmill is one of Stoke-on-Trent's most iconic live music venues, sitting in the heart of Hanley's Cultural Quarter. It's been open since the mid-1990s and has built a reputation for showcasing emerging talent alongside established acts, playing a part in the early careers of several internationally successful artists. Over the years it's hosted live gigs, DJ club nights and special events across indie, rock, electronic, alternative and hip hop, and this is its first foray into a dedicated soul club night.
