MOTOWN, NORTHERN SOUL & retro events
The LORD HILL HOTEL enjoyed its golden years as Shrewsbury’s most iconic ‘Saturday Night Dance Venue’ between 1970 and 1978. SOLID GOLD had the pleasure to present the evenings, where the music, the dancefloor and the people, combined to produce an incredible atmosphere.
Since those great days SOLID GOLD has organised many REVIVAL events in Shropshire, featuring the music from that era, including MOTOWN & NORTHERN SOUL, bringing those well know classics together with the occasional rare gem!
The very last LORD HILL REVIVAL EVENT took place on 23rd November 2019 and it was great evening, tinged with some sadness as the hotel’s fate was already secured and they closed their doors for the last time in January 2020.
The event was such a success we were able to make a donation to the Shropshire Cat Rescue. Paul Cowdroy took the opportunity to present them with a giant cheque for £1,210.00, at their annual volunteers night. The amount also included the proceeds of a raffle held on the night.
The Shropshire Cat Rescue came along to our event at STFC, on 20th November 2021 and held a raffle which raised over £400.00. A big thanks to the ladies who also manned the door for us.
…and again on 26th November 2022, another ‘Great Night’ at STFC. Another £250.00 raised for Shropshire Cat Rescue and an even greater Christmas for someone, looking at the contents of that hamper!
…and our most recent event held on 18th November 2023, thank you to everyone that came along and contributed to yet another ‘Fabulous Revival Night’, at STFC. Shropshire Cat Rescue managed to raise £160.00 and manned the door for us like true professionals
