After our wedding do at THE DRILL, we’ve had loads of people pushing us to put something on there. So here it is - get this one in your diary because it’s going to be a banger. SOUNDS AND PRESSURE is holding a special edition of the BAMBOO CLUB at the magnificent DRILL in Lincoln on Nov 29 2025. Two rooms showcasing 60's reggae/soul and killer 50's/60's R&B, plus a Friday night warm-up and Sunday wind-down at the Victoria, Union Rd. The line up in the R&B room is pretty much complete with Bill Kealy, Mace, Craig Simpson, Charles Whitehouse and Ed Bush. So no punches pulled - a super strong line up guaranteed to keep any dance-floor full, whatever style of 50s/60s R&B you’re into.
The reggae & soul room is, with Brian Kelson’s blessing and DJing skills, being run under the CLUB SCORCHER banner. After 25 years, the curtains finally come down on the big Scorcher weekends. But Brian the promoter is up for occasional club style nights, as a part of bigger events, and this one of them. Many of the “big” tunes on the 60s reggae scene, were originally played, pushed and became popular at Scorcher; expect more of the same.
We also plan a daytime meet and greet session in the venue with DJs on Saturday afternoon. Anyone who wants to sell any records or vintage clothes is welcome to with prior arrangement with Phil or Ed.
The big differentiator at any Sounds and Pressure / Bamboo night of course is the sound system. The quality of the sound is everything to us and we accept no compromise. The sound is big, in-your-face, you can feel it, but it doesn’t hurt you. Just like it should be. Both rooms will have big Sounds and Pressure sound systems in the engine room and both rooms will have wooden dance floors and bars.
The venue itself is a beautiful and historic, grade 2 listed gig venue, which famously hosted the Rolling Stones in their R&B heyday. It’s located within 5 mins of the city centre and there is a huge Premier Inn 2 minutes walk away. You are also within 15 minutes walk of the historic Castle, Cathedral and Bailgate area, so if you want to make a weekend of it, Lincoln is an underrated jewel of a city to visit. If enough people are interested in making a weekend of it, we may do a small do somewhere Friday night.
Tickets now available on-line via The Drill.
