Another year of Soulsville draws to a close as Bongo heads toward the annual August hiatus. Consequently there’s no better way to mark the occasion other than keeping it a strictly residents affair supplemented with an array of belters, bangers and melters played out at Soulsville over the past 12 months…  Dress light…shoes optional.  Music of many colours since 2010.   Strictly party vibes.  FACEBOOK

Sound system and crew, part of a music and art collective specializing in BASS music. Custom built and comprised of the finest audio components, it operates at a huge 26KW and provides as much deep bass, punchy mids and clear highs as any party could require.  Garage / House / Bass / Drum and Bass / Dubstep / Future / 2step / Jungle / Bassline / Juke 

As usual, the Bongo will be closed for the rest of the summer, due to the Underbelly taking over the lease of the building for the rest of July and August (for the Fringe).

This predicament puts a strain on the Bongo, as the Fringe used to be a very busy time of year for us, the Underbelly is a totally separate business and we make nothing from the enforced hiatus, while still having bills to pay (permanent staff wages etc).

This date will be our (now annual) big Bongo Summer Closing Party, with a slew of regulars from the local scene all clubbing together to help keep the wolf from our door while we’re closed.  Please come down and show your support.

Mumbo Jumbo mixes it up a whole heap.  Resident DJs Trendy Wendy, Steve Austin and Eva Crystaltips play everything from disco, funk and soul to electro and house: Saturday night party music all night long.

But Mumbo is very much a LIVE dance party, as ‘Bongo’ David Bernard gets busy on the live percussion alongside Erb & Ting (alias Al Roberts and Groove Armada’s MC MAD), also jamming live (guitar & vox).

AND upstairs it’s the LUCKY 7 SKA N REGGAE CLUB, with Tall Paul (The GoGo) and friends playing vintage ska, early reggae, calypso, 2-Tone, & Jamaican Sounds!

Two clubs for the price of one?! You bet!
