A lovely review Dave; sounds like you'll be going back

Nice review of your weekend Dave, sounds a great place to visit.

Nice One. Enjoyed reading that.

Regards,

Dave

Well Dave, thanks for the great review of the club & hope you come back soon & maybe we can talk a bit more on Man United!!! cheers Pete 45.

A very good write-up, Dave. I have to say it really was a top night. Quality tunes all round and a crowd that lapped it all up.

As one of the 'expats on a bicycle', I have to tell you that the first leg of the 16 mile round trip was a rather foggy experience. On the way back home however, and cycling through the woods of Amsterdam at 4:30 in the morning, the fog was so thick you could cut it with a knife. Visibility was down to about 10-20 metres. Mind you, the ride back home is always an experience after a good few beers!

From what you say, it's apparent that you really enjoyed it 'over here'. That's great, as we're already lobbying Jos to bring you back again soon.

The punters demand it!

seems you had a top time Dave,good review.

good review of what sounded a good night...although been to 'the dam' 3 times and always had a good time!!...next time gonna have to take in the soul club....and the 19th may 2012 is the weekend after my 45th so sounds as good a time as any !!

Thanks Dave,

It was an absolute pleasure having you.

Jos

Nice review Dave.

Jos comes over to the Twisted Wheel Sunday sessions fairly often where the results of his editing jigery pokery are absolutely outstanding - as Dave said there is some fantastic footage from the sublime (Impressions) to the ridiculous ( Flaming Ember ) and a clip of a Head and Shoulders Shampoo ad with the Patti Young over the top that had some of speculating whether they were actually an item.

I suppose somebody will tell me they were !

Trust you'll bring some 70s sounds next time Dave

Cheers Paul

And yes those so called "budget " airlines ........aren't ..... anymore

Cheers Paul

Nice one Dave!

Did my first trip to Amsterdam last year (tip, coincide your trip when the Dutch national team are playing for extra excitement) and have vowed to go back one day to do the soul night and your review has made me more determined not to leave it too long. Great write up, thanks Dave.

Sounds great Dave and yes the bycicles can be a bugger been nearly vlipped a dozen or so times myself :-)

i had the pleasure of living and working near waterlooplein for 18 months back in the late 80's great city great people

Nice article! I am from Amsterdam and it is good to see that there are more soul and funk lovers from my home town on this website

Wow, sounds very enticing, Might pop to one. Great review and 8% Alcohol beer! Takes me back to the "Belgium Monk" Bar days, shame they went bust. Great to see you got away with out playing cheese as well.

Hi Jos

How far is the club from the centre of Amsterdam? Would it be too far to get a taxi?

Mick

It's right on the edge of the citycentre

Just a 5 minute walk from the Heineken Brewery Museum

On the corner of Albert Cuyp- & 1e Sweelinckstraat.

Its only a short ride by taxi but you might take public transport as well. (you'd need the Dutch equivalent of the "Oyster Card")

Tram: From Central Station tram 4 (exit at stop: Stadhouderskade) and tram 16, 24 en 25 (exit at stop Albert Cuyp).

In the event gallery is the flyer with google maps information:

Mick

You could always rent a bike Mick

Cheers Paul

I must say, it's got to be the best Soul Club in Holland!

KEEP THE FAITH

Great write up Dave. I went to the Amsterdam soul club a couple of years ago, really good night out!

been to the dam maybe a dozen times including new year, amazing, and queens day, not a gay pride event, a royal celebration when the whole town goes orange! cetainly one of the most exciting and cultured city's I've visited, hope to take in the soul club next year, Im well overdue a return visit. Also a great place to dig, I found soul great 33's on the rembrantsplein market.

would love to go myself..

hi dave, good, good article. if you'd taken john weston with you

he could've demonstrated how easy it is to get your face slapped

by the "working" girls in the red-light district! (beats having to

watch him bugger about with elevators)
