Midweek Soul Is Dancing Back to Golcar: Weavers Shed’s Wednesday Sessions Return

There is something rather brilliant about a Huddersfield pub deciding Wednesday afternoon is exactly the right time to clear a bit of floor and get people dancing.

Soul on Wednesday returns to The Weavers Shed in Golcar on Wednesday 23 September, with the session running from 2pm until 7pm. The event listing says the previous three Wednesday afternoons have been very well attended — which makes this less of a one-off curiosity and more of a little midweek tradition beginning to take root.

And because The Weavers Shed is one of the venues helping to keep Monkey GigsList going as a paying Supporter, this is exactly the sort of grassroots event we want to put a bit of extra light on.

Five hours of soul in Golcar

The format is wonderfully uncomplicated: an afternoon of Northern Soul and Motown, a welcoming bar, seating, on-site parking and — most importantly — somewhere to have a dance.

The published event details list Soul on Wednesday at The Weavers Shed, Knowl Road, Golcar, Huddersfield HD7 4AN, on Wednesday 23 September. The promotional description gives the public session as 2pm–7pm.

For anyone who automatically associates live music and music events with Friday and Saturday nights, it is also a reminder that the local scene is broader than that. Afternoon sessions matter: they give people who may not want a late night somewhere sociable to go, while keeping music turning over through the week rather than concentrating everything into two evenings.

🐒 Monkey Supporter Spotlight: The Weavers Shed

The Weavers Shed is one of Monkey GigsList’s paying Supporter venues, and events like this demonstrate exactly why local venues deserve support in return.

A five-hour midweek soul session is not an arena tour or a giant festival announcement. It is arguably something more important to a local listings site: a community venue putting something on, people turning up, having a drink, meeting each other and dancing on a Wednesday afternoon in Golcar.

That is grassroots music culture doing its job.

So if Northern Soul and Motown are your thing — or you simply fancy doing something considerably more interesting next Wednesday than watching daytime television — you know where to be.
