The Last Monthly Subway Soul Club -Saturday 21st May

A personal note from Lady Dawn

Hello Soul Friends
Its with very mixed feelings that I announce that this month's Subway Soul Club will be our last. Due to proposed cost increases, It looks like we cannot afford to keep our venue and after nine and a half years and six regular locations, instead of going in search of yet another elusive new space, I've decided we've earned time off for good behavior ( or is it bad behavior?!)

We will no longer be doing the monthly club and, at present, have no other events planned.

Subway Soul Club has been such a big part of mine and Phast Phreddie's life over the past decade. From a cramped back room in the LES in 2001 to our six hundred strong New Year's Eve Parties at The Bell House, from the debut of The Dansettes ( later to evolve into The Sweet Divines and Nouvellas ) on a minuscule stage at Rififi to spectacular shows featuring Eli Reed and the True Loves and Lala Brooks, we've had some grand old times, and I've got through more sparkly 60's cocktail frocks than I can count!

Some of you have been with us from the start and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support. I've met some of my best friends at Subway Soul and I know its spawned several love matches, marriages and even babies! ( Disclaimer-To our knowledge neither myself or Freddie are personally responsible for any pregnancies. )

Thankyou to all our awesome DJs who have played their extremely expensive vinyl for mere pocket money. And how could we sign off with out a 'Cheers!' to my co-founders Jeff and Dr Scott, without whom the idea would never have been born. Its ironic that our friends at 'Smashed! Blocked!' have made the same decision this month. I guess it must be the 'nine and a half year itch'!

Who knows, maybe we will still do occasional events or collaborations in the future so I urge everyone to make sure they are on the mailing list in case anything comes up or we have a change of heart.

I really hope you can join us for our last fling on May 21st. We're gonna miss you all!

PS As we are discontinuing the club I will no longer be maintaining the 'NYC Scene' listings, and I don't have time to answer the volume of individual inquiries we receive every week asking about other nightlife in NYC. Sorry!
