10 Years of Soul at the Man... WOW how did that happen?

We would like to take this opportunity to thank every single one of you for ever attending our Soul nights at The Winking Man over the past 10 years. Without you lovely, kind, enthusiastic people, none of it would have been possible.

We would like to thank Pete, Julie and staff for allowing us to hold these nights at their pub, their help and support has been invaluable and second to none.

Resident DJ's Span and Mike Coburn welcome you to the 3rd of our Soul nights at the Winking Man Pub in 2026. Come and join us at the most stunning of locations, a venue with an unrivalled dancefloor and sound system!

Soul at the Man began 10 years ago and at first we relied on a loyal, local following. We now have Soul fans travelling from Stoke-on-Trent, Cheshire, Derbyshire, South Yorkshire, Greater Manchester, South Wales and further afield.

We will be playing everything on vinyl as usual, Northern Soul Classics, Sixties R'n'B, Motown dancers, Sixties and Seventies Soul and of course some rarer and underplayed tunes thrown in!

The Winking Man has absolutely everything a Soul fan needs. It is a gem in the Peak District on the main Leek to Buxton Road A53. It has beautiful surroundings and a large free car park. Overnight camper vans are more than welcome, however please contact the venue first to book your spot. If you don't wish to drive, there are plenty of superb local taxi services including minibuses. For those travelling from further afield, there is a great selection of local accommodation.

Inside, the large bar opposite the stage sells a great range of refreshments at very reasonable prices. Could you please refrain from bringing in your own drinks too SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL VENUE.There is ample seating throughout the venue when you need to take a breather from dancing.

In between the stage and the bar is the pride and joy of the room... the huge dancefloor. It will be polished to perfection and a pleasure to dance on. We must insist on NO TALC, DRINKS OR HANDBAGS on the dancefloor please.

Tickets are just £5 each and are available from the venue itself, 'The Winking Man' and 'The Hideout' or by getting in touch with myself on 07972675873 or emailing me at robspender@gmail.com. You can of course message me on here too.
