VIGSY’S CLUB TIP: The Surgery at East Village
It may seem like I’m on the payroll for East Village, so often have they appeared in this slot of late, but their line ups are just so damn fine, and they ain’t letting up any. This week it’s a fave of mine, Dr Bob Jones, not an MD or MBBS, but a “doctor of soul music”. Jonesy was one of the first DJs ever to bring jazz to a dance floor – way back in 1971 – and he’s spent 40 years in the game championing soul and funk, both as a DJ and by co-founding Chilli Funk Records. I have seen him in action and the man’s record bag is mostly packed with gems and stormers. Elsewhere on the bill here – from 2pm to 6pm it’s pure Soul Food, which will feature a superb mix of eclectic black music, and there’ll be real food too, which quality roasts served up until 8pm. The second sitting, between 6pm and 11pm, sees The Surgery kick in to full effect, where I am sure soulful house will be order of the day. Mark Webster will be assisting with some of the finest quality black gold too, and to top it all off, it’s free entry, to what I am sure will be London’s most soulful party this Sunday.
Sunday 29 Mar, 2pm-11pm, East Village, 89 Great Eastern Street, London, EC2A, free, www.eastvillageclub.com, press info from Rosalia at Ferrara PR
