Riverside Soul Started off by using as its main venue the Riverside Sports and Social club in St. Oswalds Road, Gloucester. I am pleased to announce that I now have the use of Wotton Hall club, Barnwood Road, Gloucester which is a superb venue. One of the best around and a dance floor up there with the best. I will be running Allnighters there, as well as Motown and soul Nights there. I have the capability to run 2 room events if I wish and will be doing so at the Allnighters. It is my intention to run 4 Allnighters in 2011. The events page is being updated with all events taken place in both venues. The name 'Riverside Soul' is one that I see, as one, that can be taken to other locations throughout the area, either as one-off or a more permanent measure.
The music policy is Upfront 60's, indemand Northern and quality Motown especially o the Wotton Hall Soul and Motown events. We are an OVO. The resident DJ's are always looking to play new finds and not to keep playing the same oldies over and over again. Of course, the floor has to be catered for. Residents at the allnighters are: Sean Chapman, Pete Lyster, Des Parker, Leon Brown and Mike Eskins.I will be running 2 more events this year at Wotton Hall which are in addition to the allnighters. These will be Motown, Club Soul Classics and Northern. I will be using various DJ's for these events. I have lined up Pete French for the next event on July 15th.

I will do my best to get playlists from each DJ following Soul nights. However, a growing number of DJ's are reluctant to produce playlist for a variety of reasons. I respect their decision as to whether or not to do a playlist. Playlists can be found by going to the DJ's page and then clicking the 'playlist' link to the right of the page.
I believe that we have a friendly regular group of regulars and you will be made most welcome. So whether you like to dance or listen to good tunes come and give us a visit.
