Solid Groove Social Club @ DB Social


Our first party of the year kicks off on 27th March at DB Social in Newcastle. We had our last party of the year last year at DB and had a cracking night, this one promises to be even better.

Well people, its been a while since our last shindig and we thought it was about time we sorted out our first party of the year. After our huge success last year we kick things off from where we left off, at DB Social in Newcastle. We had a cracking night at DB Social last December and its going to be even better come the 27th.

We have a great lineup for this party, including all the residents and some special guests. Kev, Jimmy, and Stu will be playing the usual across the board grooves from beatdown and boogie, to house and disco (and plenty of treats thrown in for good measure). We've also invited Chris Foster to play and, making his first Solid Groove appearance, is Tommy Rocksteady.

Chris played for us last August at The Other Rooms and played a superb set warming up for Craig Smith and Paul Stuart, so expect him to be dropping similar disco, boogie, and house treats.
Tommy Rocksteady runs a host of nights throughout Newcastle which vary musically but are some of the most popular nights in the town, and with him making his debut for us, we can't wait to hear what he brings to the decks.

Make sure the dancing brogues are polished and the disco taches are combed for this one because its going to be a quaity night to kick off our first party of the year. We hope to see you there...
