Guest Polyvelts Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Can't believe I'm asking this, it's definitely a 'coals to Newcastle' moment ! I will be in Philadelphia last 2 weeks of May, does anyone know of any soul nights, meets etc ? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
nrc Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Only thing I can suggest is when you get there check the local papers, or log on to Philly.com what's on page. Anyway have a great time its a great city. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Tsu Tomatoes Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 (edited) Last time I was there, I found a small club/bar on Logan Square (Just off Benjamin Franklin) that played more new R&B and the odd old Soul track, but nothing much else. Anyhow, you'll be too busy taking in that fine City to worry about Soul do's. Take a walk along the Delaware early in the morning, head south and eat Philly cheesesteak and look out for Isaiah Zager's mosaics while record hunting, head to Tommy Dinics at Reading Terminal, look at where Sigma Studios and Philadelphia Int records once stood and do some more record hunting and go North near Fishtown to the Milk Crate cafe and more sure you get a 'Soul' table while eating an Ike and Tina Tuna sandwich before going downstairs to look for more vinyl Edited May 4, 2016 by tsu tomatoes 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Tsu Tomatoes Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 .....oh and one thing NOT to do is, if you take a tour of the Liberty Bell and the annoying American woman starts blathering on about America's 'history' don't shout out "My house is older than your Country, Love" They don't like it up 'em 13 hours ago, Flanny said: You just love Philly mate your description makes me want to get on the plane virtue locating ...cos you can't beat a bit o' Philly! 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
25miles Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 you could get to New York on the greyhound bus in 2 hours.............about 40 dollars return fare bound to find somet' there gud luck Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
nrc Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Buy a cheap rail ticket. New York just over an hour, or Washington around 2h. But plenty for you to do in Philly. Went to NY , just to crowded, I was glad to get back to Philly,far more relaxing. Go across the river to Camden NJ different kettle of fish there.

Djr Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 (edited) Years ago Silk City did have something soul-related fairly regularly, but I haven't heard of anything recently. Actually, just went on the Silk City site, and looks like there is a Sunday Motown night near the end of the month: https://www.silkcityphilly.com/events/456/special-memorial-weekend-edition-motown-on-sunday-w-junior-and-lil-dave Edited May 6, 2016 by djr Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
