There is no formal scene as such, northern is really in it's infancy here.

What there is mainly centered around the Neeman brothers (Soul of the Net), who love all things soulfull. They have recently been 'shaken up' by a bunch of very dedicated younger guy's who want to put northern on the map over here, hence our now monthly gatherings.

Tel Aviv itself has a very rich nightclub scene and seems to be highly regarded on the dance/house scene worldwide.

Oh and then there's me, the token Brit expat. I must seem like a dinosaur to these people.......the old man of the (soul) mountain !!!

Currently we're looking for a bigger venue and to widen the musical format (maybe a funk spot?!!).

All in all maybe a hard core of 50+ soulies, not many but a start.

And it does my jaded cynical heart good when a young guy comes running up to me after hearing The Chandlers and tells me what ''an amazing tune, great, fantastic''

Yoni Neeman's spot

Jimmy Robbins ''I just cant please you'' (Jerhart)

Chuck Jackson ''Hand it over'' (Wand)

Royal Jokers ''Love games from A to Z'' (Wingate)

Art Freeman ''Slippin around' (Fame)

James Barnett ''Keep on Talking'' (Fame)

JJ Barnes ''Our love is in the pocket'' (Revilot)

Darrell Banks ''I'm the one who loves you'' (Volt)

Fascinations ''Girls are out to get you'' (Mayfield)

The Jades ''I'm where it's at'' (Nightlife)

And remember nearly everything over here is a ''newie''
