A new night for the Jazz Bar and it is a soul night brought together by two of the best loved DJs in Edinburgh.

Togther with a live percussionist, expect the very best in rare soul, funk, and boogie taking us into the wee small hours from the vast collections of Toni McVey and Simon Hodge.

TONI MCVEY

Toni McVey is a young Glaswegian DJ with a big flex for funk, soul and disco. This passion is presented by the unearthing of old school wax in renowned clubs and speakeasy bars. A love and knowledge of 7" rare finds has also been forged from road trips around the world as a touring session musician. Her enthusiasm for all things soulful knows no bounds and she brings that to all her sets which has seen her supporting world famous DJs such as DJ Paulette (https://djpaulette.co.uk/), Aroop Roy (https://www.instagram.com/arooproy/?hl=en), DJ Format (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DJ_Format) & Jazzy B (Soul II Soul) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay_Norman). Toni has also performed at festivals such as Sziget Boat Party (https://szigetfestival.com/en/boatparty) in Budapest and Kelburn Garden Party (https://www.kelburngardenparty.com/).

SIMON HODGE

Simon Hodge has been on the scene for decades, first arriving with his club night "Big Beat", followed by "The Funk Room" in the Arches in Glasgow and "Four Corners" back in Edinburgh

It has seen him realise his dream of providing DJ support for some of the greats including Roy Ayers, Terry Callier, Marlena Shaw, Reuben Wilson, Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, Weldon Irvine, and The Blackbyrds some of which he brought up to Scotland for the very first time.

Currently he is the producer of the Craig Charles Funk And Soul Show on BBC 6Music. So he knows his onions!
