Endlessly memories, made for this occasion!

Nice to see this new Leeds Soulful Shack venture with a music policy that will bring the memories back of those 7ts youth club 'dance floor' favs . 

In the larger scale of things Andy, its nothing new really, other than this neck of the woods ( where we happen to live, dosnt have anything going on or, any history for that matter.....unless you count the historical stand point, which tells you it was a roman/viking/saxon/norman settlent in that order and that its street names reference the crusader/knights Templar period.

The nearest other soul night is Kippax, which is now hosted at Garforth WMC.

" Back To The Future" 60's n 70's Soul style!, clothing is optional, but its all about the music that got our attention, a different way of life and an alternative from the run of the mill pop market...this scene had its roots firmly in the 60's but it took til the 70's for it to explode on the nation...and there were certainly a mass of youth clubs where people wanted to hear these tunes, when the mobile dj had s night of entertainment.

I witnessed that, first hand at St Giles ( Sammies ) in Willenhall, west mids, where i originate from...thr mobile djs were punters theirselves, exploring the world of soul music, at the Torch, Twisted Wheel, Chateau Impney, Va Vas, Dungeon, Mojo, Noght Oel, Pendulum. UP The Junction...all points North, South, East and West.....the mobile jocks did their best to buy the tunes of the time and blend them in with the current soul music coming out of the States.....And they began their own soul night in local pubs, alongside their youth club bookings.

So you see....this is starting at the beginning again, reappraising how it all began for us.

Just come along, enjoy the nostalgia, feel the vibes, have a good time...its FRIDAY....THE WEEKEND STARTS RIGHT HERE!️️️️️
