About Me


" Days Like This " is the brainchild of Gary Ward & Charlie John and was born on Saturday 4th February 2006. After finding it difficult to hear the sort or music we love In Birmingham, we decided to do something about it and throw a little monthly party ourselves. The night is set on the first saturday of every month in the intimate surroundings of Red which has a capacity of 120, ideal size for the kinda party we want to create.
The thinking behind the night is quite simple " Music with Soul " and is inspired by events such as Southport Weekender, Soul Heaven, Garage City & Good Times. Parties were the vibe is great, the music is good and people let their hair down and enjoy themselves.Our influences include artists, acts and labels such as Stevie Wonder, George Benson, Motown, Masters at Work, Blaze, Salsoul, Kerri Chandler and of course, the great Dexies Midnight Runners. Musically expect to hear Deep, Groovy and Soulful House mixed with everything from Rare Groove, Disco, Funk, Broken Beat, Romanian Speed Jazz and whatever else we feel like.
If this sounds like the kinda night out that you like, we're always looking for people with friendly, smiling faces to come and join us...!
Days Like This @ Red, Temple Street, Birmingham. First Saturday of Every Month. 9pm-6am. Free before 10.30, £5 after.
