Penarth Soul Club was established in September 2014 by Shelley Barrett and Liam Curtin as a bi-monthly club night at Penarth Ex-Servicemen’s Club.

We play a mix of familiar and obscure records but always something to dance to.

Our well meaning but essentially ignorant host Will Vandyck chats to people about their connection to Penarth, what they do, that sort of thing, and plays the music they want to hear, so long as they answer a quiz question correctly.  There's also something about The Book of Penarth.  One reviewer called this show, “a … bit… okay… could be… off.”  Another review is still the subject of legal action and we cannot comment at this time.  And there's a lot of good music which is some way relevant to whatever the hell else is going on in the show, at least in the host's mind. Click on "READ MORE" to see the whole of Season 1, the guests in each show, and click on any show to listen to it.  If you don't do this in the next 5 seconds, you'll have longer.  

The Playlist is going to troll through Andrew's Playlist (funnily enough), what’s on his shelves at home and also what new gems he discovers.

Acoustic Club is a roots, folk/blues and Americana show, based on the sort of music featured at the live Penarth Acoustic Club, which normally runs on 3rd Friday of every month, with some poetry/spoken word thrown in for good measure. Phil and Ade have run the live club for the last 6 years featuring touring international and local guest musicians, and visiting poets who normally do two short sets each month to complement the music.Hopefully our shows, presented alternately by Phil one week and Ade the next, will represent a good cross-section of the acts who have performed for us over the years, and also music from the wider folk/roots community.Please let us know if you enjoy the show (or don't!), and send us feedback/requests/suggestions via email to acousticclub@penarthsounds.co.uk, or via the PenarthSounds website or social media.

Fun party vibes regardless of genre! Stacey wants to get you moving with music, projecting her passion through the airwaves.
