Soul II Soul Headline Stuff on the Stage
Join us at the Cooper Associates County Ground for an incredible night of live music on Saturday September 12th for day two of Stuff on the Stage.
The evening is set to be the ultimate late-summer celebration of disco, soul and dance music as we bring you Soul II Soul, The Brand New Heavies, The Beatles Dub Club and Norman Jay MBE!
You can expect legendary sounds, feel-good energy and dancefloor classics from some of the most influential names in British and international music all staged within the unique setting of Somerset’s most iconic venue.
Groove pioneers Soul II Soul emerged from the London warehouse scene in the late 1980s and became pioneers for British R&B. Their smooth fusion of R&B, soul and dance transformed the sound of a generation, defined and era and saw them win two Grammy awards.
Formed in London in the mid-1980s, The Brand New Heavies achieved international recognition with their blend of funk, soul and jazz which produced a string of hit singles including Dream On Dreamer, Midnight at the Oasis and You Are the Universe. They helped bring acid jazz into the mainstream during the 1990s by selling millions of records worldwide and touring all over the globe.
The Beatles Dub Club is a unique DJ project created by Chris Arnold. A world-renowned festival act, it reimagines The Beatles’ classic discography through a vibrant blend of reggae, dub, ska, funk, and drum & bass, featuring rare covers, remixes, and mashups. Enjoy this magical mystery tour of John, Paul, George and Ringo like you’ve never heard them before!
Kicking things off on the night will be trailblazing DJ Norman Jay MBE, whose genre-defining sets have shaped British club culture for decades. Instrumental in shaping the UK’s underground and mainstream music scenes for over four decades, Norman Jay is widely considered to be one of the most significant figures in British dance and club culture.
Celebrate the end of summer in style with legendary disco anthems, laid-back soul and uplifting club classics.
Hospitality packages are also available!
It’s not just about the music!
The Stuff on the Stage weekend begins on Friday, September 11th, when comedy favourite John Bishop brings his hugely popular live show to Taunton for a night of laughs and razor-sharp storytelling.
Expect big laughs, brilliant crowd work and the kind of feel-good atmosphere that has made him one of the UK’s most-loved stand-ups.
Whether you’re joining us for the punchlines, the party, or both, Stuff on the Stage is shaping up to be the highlight of the Summer.
