The 100 Club is back!
I hope I am putting this into the right place, my first thoughts where to add to the look backs section but in the light of the 100 Club thread some time ago with Ady having concerns at numbers dropping and the real fear of the club closing down, I thought it appropriate to let people know what it's the real state of play as far as this wonderful and very important club.

As some people will be aware (those who were at Rugby last saturday nite for example) my son and his film school mates are doing a short student film on N/S. It's in a documentary format, and amongst the themes they're looking at are what are the changes between the scene in the 70's/80's & now, and what it is that keeps people coming back for more. Another one was about how you connect with the music ( for example how some tunes lift you up and others are great for listening to when you're

A place for live music since 1942, last September's announcement that West End rock'n'roll omphalos the 100 Club was closing was grave indeed. And in December, it seemed the game really was up when a public campaign to buy it fell short of the £500,000 required. Even pleas by Macca, Mick Jagger and Beady Eye fell on deaf ears.

Ady passed on a brief pre-match interview
Over the years on soul source when reading the posts you sometimes notice certain long gone events being spoke of in respected tones, perhaps they may not be the most mentioned or indeed the most name checked, but does seem a few which when they do get a mention there does seem to be a sort of revered almost hushed tone when discussing the event.
One such event is Parkers - Manchester...

As Northern Soul was an underground scene in the UK, it has remained so in Australia. Moving over here from the UK as most of us did, it could take a while to settle in and many weren't aware there was a scene here. Particularly before the internet became part of our daily routine. I think there are lots here in Sydney who don't know yet!
Maybe we'll find them this year.

When it comes to feisty femme funk or sassy sock-it-to-em soul, mighty Marva Whitney has no equal. Blessed with a lithe yet powerful church-raised voice, she first made her mark with the James Brown Revue in the late-1960s. Such was her impact during that time that she earned the titles "Marvellous Marva" and "Miss Excitement" for her dynamic stage performances. James Brown even went so far as to proclaim her "Soul Sister ..1".
See her perform her classic dynamite soul
