The 45 Revolutions soul club has only been in existence for a few months but for many of us who enjoy getting away from the tried and tested playlists this club is manna from heaven. Knowledgeable hosts and guest DJs and a gathering of like minded folk who enjoy digging a little deeper for their listening pleasure.

The latest night was no exception. Regular DJs Tony Poff and Alan Massey were joined by guests Mark I'Anson and Dave Baggaley ensuring an evening of quality soul.

As usual a wide variety of styles was played, even some R&B (Oh Lady Luck by Lloyd Price). I'd say there was slightly more Crossover and medium tempo tunes played rather then Northern stompers. Tunes played included:

Blackmail (Bobby Taylor); Only Inside (TSU Toronadoes); Put A Smile On Your Face (EJ & The Echoes); I Bet'cha Couldn't Love Me (Manhattans); Holding On (Detroit Emeralds); Let Me Prove That I Love You/Call On Me (Dynells); On And On (Artistics); The Man That I Am (Ohio Players); Not Only The Girl Knows (Victors); Who's It Gonna Be (Dee & Joe); I Can't Get Over Losing Your Love (Incredibles); Yes Sir Brother (Shirley Brown); 39-21-46 Shape (Jimmy Jones); Let My Baby Go (Embraceables); The Change (Ernestine Eady); Hello Stranger (Capitols); This Kind Of Love (Special Delivery); and many more. I hope this illustrates the range of music played.

A good number in, including some new faces. Good to see plenty of my friends there.

Thanks to the DJs for entertaining us and to the lady behind the bar, she was kept busy.

Response from the promoter:

Thanks once again for those kind words Geoff, we try to mix it up a bit, every guest plays what they think will work so far it seems to pass muster. I like 'em a bit noisy and uptempo but we aim to please.

Once again, thanks for coming and taking the time to review
