 rob c took time to put together his view on the nite - read on....

After along day in the city, it was time to walk over tower bridge to "To biggest little soul club" called "these old shoes" (if anyone did not know is run by the world famous (and loveable) Jo Wallace -Paul t-martin thomson. After a pleasant walk to the club thinking about what was going to be played tonight (and how hot its was going to be) after meeting up with a few friends we headed down into the cellar, the first think that hits you as you go down the stairs is the heat, then the music ..... first up was Jo herself playing the type off music that has made her one of the most sort after DJs in the county (and Europe) already the dance floor was busy (as it would be allnight), as in must off the soul clubs in London there is a very "up for it crowd" and different age groups but it makes no difference everybody is there for a great time to listen to type of music that this club is getting famous for.

After Jo came a guy that I did not know all the way from germany, but as with all the guess DJs at "These Old Shoes" he played a very good set over the next hour and half, by this time the dance floor was packed, and as for me and the rest off the crew, very very hot and sweaty (ask the cab driver !!!) by know for me and my mates the beer was starting to cut in so I cannot remember his set but it was a good mixture off classics and rare sounds .by 11pm Jo had returned to the decks which again would keep the dance floor packed till closing time, as Jo kept trying too say to everybody "this the last one" the crowd just cried out for more (me included) so we managed to keep the music going for at lease half hour later then normal.

As I walked down Tooley St hot and very sweaty, to get a cab back home I thought to myself "well thats a great start to the weekend" but its only thursday and was right it was going to be a weekend to remember.

If you are in London town on a Thursday night when "These old shoes" is on get yourself down to the "River bar"........

i know you will enjoy a great night
