Speaking about the new event, LUU’s Equality and Liberation Officer Natasha Fowler-Ekar said: “As a Black student in Leeds, there has been a handful of nights where I’ve felt like I’ve seen people like me and that it’s been a real Black space – that’s exactly what we want SOUL to be.” She added that “We just want it to be a Black space where we can boogie and shake our arses!”
Tickets are priced at £6 and the event will take place in Pyramid in LUU between 11pm-3am on Wednesday 1st December.
