I have just recently got back on the northern soul scene after a 7 year absence.
And only been a member of this site a few weeks.
What i wanted help with,is if somebody can suggest a couple of venues where i can hear some of the 30 titles i have listed below.
These are only examples,and i dont expect even all of them are played now.
Something in a similar sounding vein would do,as long as they are danceable.
I have been to a few oldies venues and met a lot of old friends,and made a few new ones as well.
But just for a change i would like to hear something a bit different now and again.
This is not a WIND UP i have really lost touch with the scene but not the music.
I love oldies,Rnb,Modern Soul and mid tempo sounds + some crossover.
I listen to all that here at home,i just want to go out and dance to either something i have not heard for many years plus a FEW newies with the same danceable sound.
I live in Greater Manchester but i dont drive,but i am willing to travel anywhere and even stop overnight in a hotel if the venue is what i am looking for.
All the titles listed below i have heard at least once at one venue or another since the 70s.
I have no idea if they are 5 quid records or 5000 pound records.
Well here goes.

2 - Bernard Williams - It's Needless To Say
