That's ace, love it Brilliant -
I've played it out a couple of times in recent years, few folk asked me about it.
-
From the roots of the scene, played at the wheel, maybe not garage as it perhaps pre dates it, but it's guitar driven and closer to genuine garage than some of the blue eyed soul posted.

You can't understate this guy's relevance . Highly influential in the the development of western pop music, particularly in Europe. Both 'I've got a woman' and 'what I say' certainly had a big impact on rhythm and blues and in terms of musical structure and vocal stylings. Ok Ray may never had the best voice but in terms of impact.... Can't believe how contemporary this still sounds, dating from 1959. Other contenders may have had an influence on singing styles but musically Ray was way ahead.

Fair point, however I think it's also fair to say those examples are usually disputed.
-
You would get a similar debate with so many other genre's. The point about the overlap is very valid and I'd agree this is impossible to define. So When did R n B start? 😁

It wasn't knicked by dance music, 90's 'dance' garage developed entirely independently and the garage in that stems from the branch of soulful dance music played at the paradise 'garage' in new York in the early 80's. It coincidentally has the same name.

Easy in hindsight, but when you could only get at nighters once or twice a month and perhaps on searling's radio show perhaps not so obvious

Another from the play box

After years of playing the other side out, I'm finally appreciating this side! 😄 Perfect for a Sunday afternoon https://youtu.be/QJFQyP5IsJY?si=AgtxfQmwX7Y52v_f

Well worth the effort if Ethan's on! One of the most passionate and knowledgeable people on the scene.

Something I've spun a fair bit in the last year, might get an outing Sunday
-
Looking forward to a great session of underplayed music
-
Second anniversary event is lining up to be a very busy one indeed Get in touch if you want your name putting on the door to assure entrance
-
Great venue and crowd, looking forward to this event
-
What a live up, sensational new nighter!
-
Really enjoyed this event last time I was down.
-
Agree with sidra's and liberty on BASF, vocal is dire.
-
Not a fan of browner either way, but it certainly had it's place the other two are definitely exceptions to my rule! 😁
-
I'll be honest I adore instrumentals but I'm not keen on backing tracks, especially of Motown stuff, particularly when played out. Anyone agree, or beg to differ?

A massive thank you to everyone who attended the Masonic last night. We could feel a buzz building about this one on a fine summer's evening and we weren't disappointed with well over 100 in and a busy dancefloor all-night. Both our guests; Amy and Nigel played blinding sets offered variety and quality whilst staying focused of the dancers. It's great as a promotor and resident to see this venue rise again to be just a great quality night out. Hope you can make our next event in July.

But does this apply to 12's that play at 45 rpm?

Looking forward to another great night at the Massonic. People really do look forward to this event, the venue, dancefloor and dancers help make it something special. Welcoming Amy Hodkin as a guest new to the venue this time, we're really looking forward to hearing her play tunes that I know will be aimed at the dancefloor. Amy is an amazing dancer and her passion for our music comes through in her dancing. I know she's also set the floor alright around the region with some impressive DJ sets over the last year.
