I’m 68 and still ‘’Living for the Weekend’’ I’m doing as many events now than when I was 17. Am I the oldest on Soul Source? Paul AKA Mod66

Terry Heath’s and Wheel classic Let the Good Times Roll Thanks Bunny RIP

Try the Wheel Plenty of 60s Soul Motown, Stax, Atlantic and Bell etc etc with the odd bit of Nothern from the 70s Wheel

Back in the 60s we used to go to soul nights at Lichfield House in Stafford. Not really a venue just an empty large house, Good tunes and lots of scooters Anyone remedmber it.

Sorry when I started this post I should have said mid 60s The building was the same in the 70s but branding was different. I would presume there was a smattering of Motown together with chart music of the day during that period. To be fair Mecca on a Saturday night in the 60s would be the same. Sunday night was the Soul Night, playing fantastic tunes from the Stax, Atlantic, Direction and Bell labels to name a few. Pete Roberts at 'today's ' Wheel in Manchester still creates a fantastic atmosphere playing this sort of music. I love Northern. However, if anyone knows of any venues still playing this wonderful 60s Soul, I would love to hear from you.

Sorry when I started the post I should have said mid 60s. Building is the same as 70s but obviously different branding . We never went then but I would imagine that apart from a smattering of Motown it would play a lot chart music of the day. But to be far so would Mecca on Saturday night in the 60s. Sunday nights were soul nights playing Motown, Stax, Atlantic, Direction and Bell, just to name a few labels. The nearest thing these days is 'today's Wheel in Manchester where Pete Roberts still captures the atmosphere of the day and still plays this incredible music. I love Northern but if anyone out there can point me in the direction of clubs still playing the this 60s soul, I would be very interested to hear. Paul -
After further discussion we have come up with Lynn Duckworth's friends - Gill Sharpe and Kay Brown Apologies if you girls are out there and we haven't got the names quite right. Roburt, you know your clubs. We knew Manchester and Blackpool but being from the Midlands generally frequented less well know clubs in our own area. I did visit the Jacaranda in Liverpool as a teenager back in my 'pre soul days', where many top groups played live on their way up.

We have just been talking and remember Lynn Duckworth (from Higham nr Padiham) and her friends. Paul
-
Everyone talks about Blackpool Mecca but can anyone remember Burnley Mecca Fantastic soul sessions Boogaloo Party etc - exceptional tunes Traveled up on the scooters from the Midlands Paul, Ray, Richard and occasionally Ron
-
Met my wife Diane at the Heartbeat on a trip up from the Midlands Went most weekends in 1971 Happy days Paul

Discovered Daryl's House whilst looking for a non Northern act - Cheap trick a few months ago. Didnt know what to expect with the O'Jays but they were tremendous What I love about Daryl and his band is that they are so versatile whatever the gendre

I'm on my way - Dean Parish

Pete You play great tunes yourself You and Ginger at Brighouse last year was one of the best events I have ever been to Wheel excepted of course!! Come back to Brighouse soon - Please
-
I could list lots of fantastic Soul events at every level. Teddington down south - very small but as good as any major venue But It's as the starter of the forum asked' do these DJs need day jobs?'
-
Kev Roberts Event Promoter and Radio DJ Most 'name' DJs from the Kings Hall, Blackpool and the like don't have to worry Probably next division - Rugby and Nuneaton etc do OK DJs doing Northern nights at the local clubs (even if they're regular) I would guess is a different story.
-
Ginger probably makes enough but also has building firm anyway
-
Bobby Wells Lets cop a groove You must check it out guys . Unfortunately, I can't get my you tube link to work
-
Only a few seconds but pure atmospheric 60s soul Moses and Joshua Dillard - My Elusive Dream
-
Staying up North over Easter Doing Skipton on Saturday and the Brighouse Alldayer on the Sunday. Never done Skipton - Is it up to Yorkshire's usual high standards found at the Harold and The Ritz
-
Thanks MB Hopefully I will be getting back to you
-
Yes remember them Just one more thing for now Will it be an All Dayer, All Nighter or Evening event Thanks
-
Thanks Not sure of my plans but might be very interested Will be in touch if I want tickets. Yes the old Seeburg what memories! Is Cyril Wood still about
-
Well said Andy ''''Club acts' playing 'Northern & Motown' covers have little appeal for us - just doesn't stack up against the genuine article .''' I said as much re: Motown the Musical in a previous forum
-
All events on Soul Source and Gold Soul represent excellent value, whether they are £5 or £40. When you think what you can pay to see an artist or band ( non Northern) and come away unfulfilled. Northern prices can't be beaten.

Thanks for the information
