I'd been looking forward to seeing them in the UK since I preordered their first single. I wasn't disappointed.

Great set from Toronto's Queens of the Surf - The Surfrajettes at the Night Owl in Birmingham. Fab small venue with a good selection of gigs and music nights.

The Night Owl venue information

Based on Lower Trinity Street in Digbeth, The Night Owl is the perfect club for any fan of music from days gone by. Taking its name from the Northern Soul song of the same name by Bobby Paris, The Night Owl was the first ever purpose built Northern Soul and Motown club, opening its doors in 2015.

Birmingham and the West Midlands holds an association with Northern Soul which pre-dates the very term ‘Northern Soul’, right from when local bands such as Spencer Davis Group and early Robert Plant soul songs (way before Led Zeppelin) graced venues such as the Eagle on Hill Street in the mid 60s, they were imitating the soul sounds of America. The Night Owl champions this, being independently ran by avid music fans and loved by many local and further afield.

Since its opening , The Night Owl has gone from strength the strength, expanding its music genres to include much loved retro genres spanning decades (as well as record collections!) Soul is and always will be at The Night Owl’s core, but music fans can expect Motown, ska, funk, disco, garage, psychedelia, rock and roll, Britpop, indie and more coming from tribute and live bands and respectful Birmingham DJs every week, both in the day and night.
