Mickyfinn April 26Apr 26 (edited)   6 of 6 members say helpful 6 / 6 members I’ve been meaning to get to this venue for some time. A great sounding name that lived up to it. Friendly atmosphere, a top dance floor with great tunes. Just what you need on a Friday night. It was quiet early doors; Alan Massey had the warmup set. The lesser played side of the Commands twofer ‘No Time for You’. Next a backing singers delight with Bobby Patterson’s ‘What a wonderful Life. His selection included lesser played and some tunes unknown to me.  Jackie Ross ‘Dynamite Lovin’ I thought it was one of the Holloway sisters at first, excellent. The venue was filling nicely as Tony P introduced a real eclectic mix: The Ballads, A Brothers Guiding Light and Irene & The Scotts.  Including The Sheppard’s version of ‘Stubborn Heart’. And the soulful harmonies ‘I Need, I Need Your Love’ by the Philharmonics. Bob Spendlove mixed things up with the Phonetics, Larry Huston and the incredible Maxine Brown ‘Just Give Me One Good Reason’. Bob also gave us some classic oldies, Garnet Mimms, Sam Willams and the dictionary definition of Northern Soul, The Professionals. A few technical issues with the sound system, didn’t detract from Jumpin Joan’s brilliant offering: Bobby Guitar Wood, the magical Dynells and the melody roller coaster that is The Accents ‘Who You Gonna Love’. The smooth sound of the Vee Gees ‘Talkin’, the wistful notes of The Four Voices and finally the bluesy horns of Monique ‘If You Love Me’ Alan’s second offering started with the most familiar of The Falcons tracks, yet rarely played nowadays ‘I’m a Fool I Must love You’. Followed by the classic John Bowie. Then the staccato vocals riding a percussive xylophone wave, the unmistakable The Invitations ‘Watch Out Little Girl’. Concluding with the silky sound of Almeta Lattimore. Tony P took last set with the stellar voices of Ann Peebles and Bobby Womack. And bringing things to a close with some up-beat Philly magic; Harold Melvin and the Blue Note’s gospel and disco classic ‘Prayin’. Thanks to all at 45 revolutions for your hospitality and a great night.  Edited April 26Apr 26 by Mickyfinn

It was pure selfishness that prompted me to revive 45 Revolutions, thankfully it would appear there are a few that share my desire for something a little different to the tried and tested... Thank you all again 😄Â
