From Bebops to Backdrops - Highlight magazine cover

Just a quick highlight of an article written by long time member Idell ( member name nubes) and mod of the mag: general forum that has just been featured in the online web magazine Pure Grooves

It's an article that was originally featured in Manifesto in the 90s and has been updated to the current day.

You can read it via the Pure Grooves Web Mag link below...

The article starts on page 6

"It has been generally accepted by all on the rare soul scene that the Twisted Wheel club in Manchester was the piviotal rare soul all nighter which shaped the whole northern soul sub culture.everything preceeding the Twisted Wheel..talked about those early London Clubs... scant mention is made of them..."

A solid attempt at capturing the atmosphere of those early days and the subsequent development of 'Black' music in the UK. :thumbsup:

A good editor is always useful in helping a writer to polish an article to a professional standard. With that help this one could sing even louder and clearer than it does. :thumbsup:

Fantastic article Dell. :thumbup:

I also think this bar never gets a mention it was opened in 1958 the downstairs bar was called the Sink Club and was Liverpools first black music bar. Take a look :)

I thought so too Dell I like the fact that the reason for the name was that they used to give over sink plugs as a membership :D I don't think there's any soul/rnb nights on there now, but I know there used to be :wink:
