Sean
Chapman launched a weekly night this week, 23rd July, at the Night Owl in
Digbeth, Birmingham. So a great opportunity to warm up for the Manchester
weekender by popping over for some of Sean’s vinyl charms.
The Night
Owl has been set up recently to play Northern Soul/Motown based music and
Sean’s Club-A-Go-Go night fits in nicely to the Night Owls retro décor and
music policy. We found the Night Owl easy to find and with ample parking
opposite. Opening at 8pm, we arrived near to 9pm to find a number already on
the dance-floor.
£3 on the
door and a decent sized dance-floor with upstairs seating overlooking the
dance-floor and a welcome outdoor area with tables directly off the bar area.
Nice neat fresh club, well laid out, bright environment, good decor and a
reasonable compact size for a Thursday night out.
Sean knows
how to play for the crowd, looking as sharp as ever mixing up a range of Mod
classics, Latin, Ska, a sprinkling of Northern and Reggae and some of the
latest R'n'B tunes.
A mix of
people there covering the spectrum of the scene, many taking to the dance-floor
as the night went on and we had worked up a dance-floor sweat before bidding
farewell to Sean at about 11.45pm (be warned car park shuts at midnight!)
Overall a
great midweek night out, laid back enough to enjoy the classics and latest
tunes but sharp enough that a suit doesn't look out of place. Nice to meet
Chris Leslie in his suit!
Great
night Sean and I hope it goes from strength to strength.
