It's a new club, this was its second night and I thought it was the best soul night I've been to for ages. The resident DJs are Tony Poff and Alan M, guests were Derek Watmough and Gamekeeper Jones. The club has a decent sized dance floor, and a bar, prices pretty good too. A reasonable number in but I expect it to increase over the next few months. Only downside is finding it, took a while, could write a paragraph about that but who'd be interested? It's worth making the effort to find it. Music was excellent, no top 100, just good soul music, definitely much on the rare and underplayed side of our music. Records played included: Think Nothing About It (Gene Chandler); Lonely One (Steptones); Tell Me You're Mine (Four Sonics Plus One); Ain't That Just Like A Woman (Doug Banks); Dance Senorita (Hollywood Flames); Lonely Boy Song (Kell Osborne); You Better Watch Out (Dorothy Berry); Up And Down The Hill (T C Lee & The Bricklayers); Push Away From The Table (Herbert Hunter); Until (Billy Barnes, played as a tribute to the late Carl Willingham); Without My Girl (Chasers); All Alone With No Love (Contemplations/Rock Candy); I Love My Baby (International GTOs); You Got To Look Up (Drapers); Under The Moon (Rufus Wonder) and loads more. The consensus among our friends was that it had been an excellent night with good music, what you want at a soul night. We left at midnight hoping to return to the next one. Highly recommended. Response from the promoter: Many thanks, I'll work on sorting directions out 😄

Proper old school authentic WMC. no fancy nonsense here but 24 carat authenticity! decent floor, nicely polished well maintained parquet. Cheapest bar we’ve seen for many years, friendly crew & friendly venue staff too! but it’s the tunes that matter - and we were treated to some of the very best you’ll ever hear! Not just that, but a thoughtful selection of residents & guests whose enthusiastic passion for rare soul shines through. there’s lots of competition in this neck of the woods on every day we found, but those who aren’t prepared to settle for ‘the same old’ will find their journeys amply rewarded by giving this event your time. we’ll be back. Tim & Katie west wilts soul club Response from the promoter: Thanks for coming, and thanks for the kind words.
