Organiser Roman Korol said: "The Muni is a magnificent Edwardian Hall with a sprung dancefloor and three-sided balcony, dubbed a mini Wigan Casino. The soul nights started 20 years ago and as well as the old Burnley Mecca and Imperial Ballroom crowd we have the younger end keen to try the sound of young America as it was called, Motown and club soul from the Twisted Wheel, Torch, and Highland Room etc."

Tickets are £5 or pay on the door.
