Event information

Five years ago, we held the very first Great Big Kiss (then called the HDIF Soul And Sixties Special) on Friday 31st October at the Windmill in Brixton.

We thought we'd have a refined night of soul dancing. Little did we realise that Halloween has its own supernatural rules - and so the night turned out to be a chaotic mixture of sweet soul music and ghoulish costumes. We had vampires, zombies, dead Marilyn Monroes and masked creatures from the Mexican Day Of The Dead - all singing along to The Supremes, Nancy Sinatra, Jackie Wilson, Gloria Jones and their spooky friends.

Five years on and with the HDIF Soul And Sixties Special having turned into Great Big Kiss, we're back in Brixton for another night of unearthly delights. We'll be playing our usual mixture of northern soul, Motown, 60s girl groups and rock'n'roll, with some graveyard smashes thrown in for good measure. If you'd like to dress up, you're more than welcome. If you'd rather come in your usual stylish attire, that's fine too. Come one, come all!
