Andi Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Hi, does anyone know of any soul venues in France that we could drop into on our voyages? What's the scene like there? Do you think that if I tried to organise an event (in a couple of years) there would be much support? I've seen loads of "blues" festivals which have major soul artists, such as those at Cognac and Cahors, so I'd have thought that there is a call, but it could be a different matter for a club-type event rather than a festival. All view appreciated, many thanks. Andi 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Amsterdam Russ Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Soul Invictus run occasional mixed genre (soul, ska, reggae, mod) nights in Nice. Not sure when the next one is, but you can find them on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/groups/1000103886704790/ There’s a club called “Back to the 60s” based in Amiens and plays soul, jazz, and just about anything considered “cool” from that decade. They also have a Facebook presence: https://www.facebook.com/60sclub/ In Lyon you have the Blue Cat 50s & 60s Rhythm and Blues Club. That does exactly what it says on the tin.
