The Very Best Northern Soul

A message from the organiser: 

Well, as expected following intense media speculation, the government, following advice from the scientists, have pushed back the final stage of complete unlocking from June 21st to July 19th.

This 4-week delay now makes it impossible for us to hold highly-anticipated 'lockdown lifter' event on Saturday July 10th.

I realise this will come as a huge disappointment to everyone who had made plans to be with us for this 3-room celebration of freedom.

I want to let you know that I have worked with the venue to ensure that we do not let you down.

The response to the event, which we are running in conjunction with the local NHS Blue Skies Charity, has been nothing short of incredible with 2,000 'free' and advance tickets being snapped up.

Therefore, we are now rescheduling the event to Sunday, September 19th, with a major 3-room All-Dayer running from 2pm -11pm.

I have also added in more DJs to the original line-up : Colin Curtis and Pete Haigh for a Blackpool Mecca 70s matinee session and BBC Radio Sheffield's John Kane.

ALL tickets are now automatically transferred to Sunday September 19th, by which time we are confident that we will be able to operate with no further restrictions.

As always, we thank you for your continued patience and understanding and support. We look forward now to an amazing All-Day event in September, and further updates will foillow in the coming days

I hope this update clarifies the situation as it stands this evening, and answers many of the questions that you are asking.
Yours faithfully

Richard Searling and the Blackpool International Soul Festival team.
