Ffairfach Soul Club

 

Ffairfach Soul Club: The small venue with the big heart ! Situated in deepest mid Wales on the edge of the Brecon Beacons the allnighters and Soul nights held here over the past twelve months have approached legendary status.

An immaculate sound system that supplies perfect sound (Recently completely re-vamped) straight to the heart of the tidy dancefloor. The seating around the edge of the floor provide perfectly adequate places to sit, relax, chill to the music, chat, or watch the DJ in action.

The bar area has more seating and an interesting mixture of beers, wines, and spirits available.

Usually starting around 1.00am the allnighters have been known to run through until 10.00am the following morning if the DJs want to carry on playing records.

Resident DJs, Jessica Wecker and Dave Rimmer, play an across the board selection of music which can range from Ska, Motown classics,    R & B, and Rare and not so rare Northern Soul. In the past guest DJs have been allowed to play whatever they wanted.
