GBMC have put together a program that will be sure to thrill you over the Whitsun weekend at Olby's Soul Cafe
This annual Whitsun event started in 2015 under the Great British Music Culture banner.
After a decade or more in decline, the fortunes of Margate were starting to turn around thanks to people like Eli Thompson from the Westcoast CIC/Olby’s who teamed up with renowned Modernist promoters the New Untouchables to deliver this exciting event.
The old town is where the weekend’s festivities take place.
Like Brighton, Margate has a long association with the Mod scene starting way before the headline grabbing days of the 60s. Continuing into and beyond the end of the last century thanks to the Mod revival of the late seventies and early eighties Margate has a strong local scene with clubs and scooter runs.
Local shops Thanet Area scooters and Rat Race clothing service the local scene.
Over three evenings and two daytime events there is a stellar program of live acts, DJ’s, scooter run and show, market & record fair.
The welcome DJ party MARGATE GOT SOUL kicks off the weekend on Friday night.
Saturday night features GALILEO 7 from Medway including Allan Crockford from The Prisoners who will perform tracks from new album YOU, ME & REALITY.
The superb Baron Four will also perform songs from their brand-new album OUTLYING late afternoon.
Sunday’s all-dayer features Medway legend WILD BILLY CHILDISH & CTMF with his son’s band THE SHADRACKS supporting.
A DJ team from all over the UK will be spinning the hottest Mod and Sixties club sounds on original 45’s for your dancing pleasure.
All events are at Olby’s Music Room.
Olby's delicious kitchen is open all weekend and serves one of the best Sunday roasts in East Kent.
