Hi, Could anyone tell me where the South West International Soul Club was based? or anything about the club...I have a badge, (looks 1970's) from there, but can't find any further info...

Thanks

Just guessing,  but it may have been based in the South -West. 

 

In all seriousness,  I think there's an old topic on this somewhere. 

Way before my time, but guessing this was 'Kojak' who was also behind the Inter-City Soul Club stuff in the mid-70s as well. Probably way off the mark!!

Chris Burton Who ran the International Soul Club promoting events, after the Torch closed, just produced a load of different badges. Lancashire, Yorkshire etc. There was probably a South West one. Perhaps this is what you mean. There wasn't a club just a badge.

Badge is the clenched fist with South West International Soul Club text above it. I just assumed it was a regular club. Thanks for the info 

I've just dug this out. April 1975 Blues & Soul badge number 9. Sorry about the quality, scanner gone caput & had to take a photo. Always loved the Yogi Bear cub one!
