Rooted in Newcastle

Brought together
by a love of soul.

A gathering for the songs we carry with us, and the people we share them with.

Our story

It starts with music.
It becomes a memory.

RnB & Soulful Groove Gathering was started by Boxer Ngwenya and Sphe Dlamini, popularly known as Sphe D, in Newcastle, KwaZulu-Natal. At its heart is a simple idea: good music feels even better when it’s shared.

It’s a place to sing along to familiar songs, catch up with friends and make new memories. The music brings us together, but it’s the people who give each gathering its own story.

The next chapter is the Summer Edition at Majuba College Stadium on 13 December 2026. We’d love you to be part of it.
