The MkII: Halloween @ The Butler

The Butler · Reading

The full 8-piece band – horns , Hammond and everything – with a Saturday night of classic 60s soul from the vaults of Stax, Atlantic, Motown et al with a smattering of Northern Soul gems. All live. Glad rags on and dance like we're all doing it as well. DJs to carry on the flavour before and after the band, like a great club night with a live band in the middle. As an added extra, we'd like a proper old-school 7-inch live EP so, we're going to be recording this one! Hopefully, we end up with a cracking little piece of vinyl we can all point at later and say, "We were there!". The Butler is doing the full Halloween 'thing' across the rest of the pub. We've said 'Your side = fancy dress – our side = just dress fancy'. Feel free to get all Witches & the Warlock on your outfit if that's your thing but, you know… don't feel obliged. (I won't be - Rich)
