Soul Brew at Jeremy's on Sunday 11th Jan 2024......My first time at the northern soul run by the Soul Brew team. I'd heard several reports about this regular monthly event and a pretty mixed bag so thought it's time I try it for myself. Why oh why didn't I go sooner ?? The whole place was buzzing when I arrived, packed to the gills & a big crowd of folk filled the dancefloor strutting their stuff as only a soulie π₯« can. Lots of friends both old & new, brilliant music, a really happy, feel good evening and I even got my No 1 track played (The Bottle Gil Scott Heron ) so cheers Stuart !! Overall marks out of 10? A pretty easy 15 I π€ think. Thank you guys for a really good soul session, KTF β β β Back again last night π This event gets better every time if that's possible!!! Really classic tracks, Motown, Stax etc etc, I even spotted a new friend from the Hifi in Leeds the minute I got close to my group of friends π§‘ The best part of all ? Because I'm a bit of a chatter box as well as the folk I grew up with in The Vic Lounge back in the 70s, underage naturally π but who wasn't back then !!! There lots of new folk I've now met in local clubs that I can also call friends & guess where a lot of us are getting together this Friday?? You'll have to wait & see but I'll give a bit of a hint.... It's a pub in Shelf that's having an opening night & my old buddySmokin Joe's from Halifax Free Soul is the DJ so it'll be π xx Think it's fair to say that we slightly rocked the house on Sunday night & anyone who's not given this excellent Northern venue a try well you need your bumps felt π ππΌ or in more modern language your head tested , cheers to the wonderful DJs who make this possible & their amazing music xx Awesome, brilliant & pretty amazing Northern gig. Why so many local soulers don't go I'm not sure but they're certainly missing a treat π Perhaps I should be better at keeping secrets but words spreading about the quality of the music and all their regulars. Seriously Keeping the Faith Due to a mix up the date this month was changed but I went to the Thursday session instead π WOW!! Not everyone who usually goes but a lot of friends and a gorgeous wedding had had their reception there. Nothing nicer than seeing a new bride and groom, looking really pleased with themselves but just a little bit coy about their new status !! π We had a quick word as they were leaving as she looked beautiful so I said just that. Stunning long dark hair and beautiful dress, not much different to my Mum and Dad NOT that I was there at the time but I have seen the pictures πΈ πΌ !! Another excellent set from the lads behind the decks & friends from allover so well worth a visit, there was even a bit of space on the dancefloor but I didn't take any pictures because with Smartphones and folk Bluetooth'ing everywhere they often turn out as nothing but blurs and nobody wants a pic of my feet I promise π π π Second Sunday of the month. Any chance I'd be back at Jeremy's?? Too right β οΈ π π Sending very best wishes to Stuart Eastwood for a speedy recovery π I think I'm safe to say that comes from all your mates here and many more throughout the UK π¬π§ Filling the gap and doing an amazing job were Joe Burnside, Halifax Free Soul and Mark Rice from Halifax Soul Club and both lads really know their Northern so 2 excellent DJ sets and a very full dancefloor with a sit down outside because of the hot weather, great for holidays but not the best at a Northern!! Awesome π night with brilliant people π ππΌ Yet another top notch Northern at Jeremy's and again sadly with 2 of our regular DJs unavailable we'd got some really good stand ins who played extremely good sets yet another wonderful night at Jeremy's. It's getting busier every month so top marks to all the bar staff who keep things moving even when in this hot weather we've run out ice occasionally but anyone with a Northern background knows about heating up on dancefloors ! Thankfully the dress code is far less rigid than it was in the early days so some...
Β Β Β Read moreJeremyβs is a lovely place to go and eat on an evening with the family and the staff are all lovely , unfortunately last night I went to a birthday meal there and things just didnβt go to plan , which I appreciate sometimes can happen when catering for a large group of people , we were due to be seated at seven and our orders had been placed three weeks prior to us arriving last night , we were waiting an hour for food to start coming to the table and some of the food was lovely but other dishes were very cold and the chilli was inedible , some people had finished eating as other peopleβs dishes were only just leaving the kitchen, more staff were definitely needed to cater for the amount of people, only three members of staff is not correct for so many , seen as they had another large party in the venue also , itβs such a shame, so we wouldnβt use Jeremyβs for a large party but would go back in a smaller group as we have done before and on these occasions have received good food and great service, and I have to say the staff were all lovely just not enough of them so they were doing the best with a bad...
Β Β Β Read morewe had arranged to go to Jeremyβs for a tapas for my friends bday.
We ordered two dishes each and some hand cut chips and French fries in between. The waitress did come to order our food fine and explained that the garlic mushrooms was not available that evening. So I ordered the chorizo.
When all the food came, the French fries looked and tasted so undercooked- so I asked to sort this out please. The hand cut chunky ones were so much better. I got one of my dishes- baked feta with olives and waited for the chorizo. Minutes later I said- βwhereβs my chorizo?β She said Iβll find out- and came back saying βoh thereβs none leftβ - I piped up and said you are telling me this now when all the foods arrived??? Not really acceptable when 20-30 mins later after we had ordered.
Donβt expect anything special with the tapas, it was dry, more bread than food and I had my olives In a really tiny bowl, some chips, one onion ring- going Dutch and spent Β£12.50 that I wonβt get back.
Iβve been for drinks before and itβs a nice atmosphere, just donβt bother with the tapas and...
