Club Velvet: Halloween

Club Velvet: Halloween is a themed club night in London, presented as a Halloween edition of a series that brings together R&B, soul, funk, gospel and reggae. It takes place at Ridley Road Market Bar.

Club Velvet is listed here under the genres R&B, soul, funk, gospel and reggae, a mix that places the night in the tradition of dance-floor music built on American soul and funk alongside Caribbean reggae rhythms. The Halloween edition gives the series a seasonal theme, and the programme is built around that mix of styles rather than around a single performing act.

Ridley Road Market Bar hosts concerts and shows in London, and this night is staged there as a club-style event. Ridley Road is a street market in Dalston, in the north-east of the city, and the bar takes its name from it.

The night suits anyone who enjoys soul, funk and reggae played for dancing, and those who prefer a themed party to a conventional concert. Further details of the line-up and the running order are announced by the organisers.
