After the massive success of last year's huge 40th anniversary tour,  legendary soul band Stax Of Soul will be rolling back into Uppermill in November as part of this year's series of tour dates. The band have spent over four decades playing sold out gigs, celebrating some of the greatest music of all time with their huge army of fans, along with the pure longevity and huge popularity of the band which started in Manchester back in 1983. 

The nine-piece band features arguably the most loved and respected soul frontman in the UK, Stuart Widdall, who's been with the band since 1988, and remains joined by other long serving members Don Parfitt, Peter Lee, Paul Phillips, Pete Clark, Steve Valentine, Rick Halliwell, Darren Roberts and Paul Rigby. The band have forever been known for constantly selling out venues around the UK and continue to do so, playing the best in Soul, Motown, Northern Soul, and much of the classic music and hits the genres launched. 

Covering all the great hits from bands and artists such as The Temptations, Smokey Robinson and The Miracles, Edwin Starr, Sam and Dave, The Four Tops, Otis Redding, James Brown, Curtis Mayfield and many more, Stax Of Soul have always provided a night to remember. The bands fully live show features around two hours of hits, floor fillers and anthems, and musically Stax Of Soul continue to be one of the most faultless bands around. 

The concert at Uppermill Civic Hall is promoted by Pop Up Music With Attitude events, who are known for putting a series of sell out gigs on at the venue throughout the year. I'll be DJing and hosting on the night and can promise a night with Stax Of Soul is one to remember. Don't miss this chance to see one of the finest bands around live on the run up to Christmas. Stax Of Soul play live at Uppermill Civic Hall on Friday November 29th, tickets are available on ticketline and in person from Uppermill's Post Office, Inner Space Records, and Suki's Wardrobe. Doors on the night open at 7pm, hope to see you there, at what is undoubtably the area's best Soul and Motown night.
