Part 2 of Europe and beyond.. The rare soul scene guide to whats on over the water..

 

Oslo Soul Experience

 

Paid this place a visit in for the anniversary a few years back, another great time in a fantastic rooftop venue that overlooks the city, this venue is used for the Anniversary events.. A good mixed younger crowd, and a very healthy mix of sounds from 60s northern to modern soul.. The other guests on the night were James Trouble, Ian Wright and Marco, all gave the place a glowing report.. A quality overseas soul experience for me..

Here's one then. A very decent exercise in how to play an interesting variety of quality soul based music of varying genres in the same room with no hang ups or scene rules.

The more open minded of you should attend one of the annual birthday parties. Great weekend away.

Had a top time at this. Diverse and interesting music with no agenda, except it has to be good! Get along...

I second all of the comments above.

A superb club with an open-minded top notch music policy, run by some of the nicest people I have had the pleasure to meet through the soul scene.

I definitely recommend a visit! :thumbsup:
