Guest Phoenix8049 Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 I have just recently got back on the northern soul scene after a 7 year absence. And only been a member of this site a few weeks. What i wanted help with,is if somebody can suggest a couple of venues where i can hear some of the 30 titles i have listed below. These are only examples,and i dont expect even all of them are played now. Something in a similar sounding vein would do,as long as they are danceable. I have been to a few oldies venues and met a lot of old friends,and made a few new ones as well. But just for a change i would like to hear something a bit different now and again. This is not a WIND UP i have really lost touch with the scene but not the music. I love oldies,Rnb,Modern Soul and mid tempo sounds + some crossover. I listen to all that here at home,i just want to go out and dance to either something i have not heard for many years plus a FEW newies with the same danceable sound. I live in Greater Manchester but i dont drive,but i am willing to travel anywhere and even stop overnight in a hotel if the venue is what i am looking for. All the titles listed below i have heard at least once at one venue or another since the 70s. I have no idea if they are 5 quid records or 5000 pound records. Well here goes. 1 - Barbara West - Congratulations Baby 2 - Bernard Williams - It's Needless To Say 3 - Big Maybelle - Quittin' Time 4 - Bobby Lester - Hang Up Your Hang Ups 5 - C.O.D.s - I'm A Good Guy 6 - Cajun Heart - Got To Find A Way 7 - Cindy Lynn & The In Sounds - Meet Me At Midnight 8 - Clay Hunt - In The City Square 9 - Connie Questel - Give Up Girl 10 - DC Blossoms - Hey Boy 11 - Del Counts - With Another Guy 12 - Dorothy Parker - Shindig City 13 - Drapers - I Know Your Love Has Gone Away 14 - Edie Walker - Good Guys 15 - Emanuel Laskey - Don't Lead Me On 16 - Embers - Just Crazy About You Baby 17 - Eugene Jefferson - Pretty Girl Dressed In Brown 18 - Magnetics - Lady In Green 19 - Marie Knight - You Lie So Well 20 - Pat Powdrill & the Powerdrills - Together Forever 21 - Patti LaBelle & The Bluebelles - Loving Rules 22 - Persianettes - Call On Me 23 - Promatics - Sugar Pie Honey 24 - Prophets - Talk Dont Bother Me 25 - Showmen - The Wrong Girl 26 - Squires - Don't Accuse Me 27 - Tee Fletcher - Happy Loving You 28 - Village Sounds - These Windows 29 - Vivian Reed - The Shape of Things To Come 30 - Young Brothers - What's Your Game Like i said these are an example off the top of my head,there are dozens more,that have been played i could have listed,but i don't think Mike would have appreciated me taking up so much room. Many Thanks in advance to anybody that replies with something constructive. Stu.
