Cafe That Played Northern In The 1970's

I was playing "Best thing for you Baby" Gloria Parker the other night , It reminded me of a little Café in my home Town of Clitheroe . The café was called "The Clock Café" which had a duke box which had a few mainly northern pressings..Alot of the older lads & Girls (who were going to Wigan) hung out there on Saturdays..Suppose it started my interest into soul music.. Made Great hamburgers as well  ..Paul

I know it's a bit late being the end of the holiday season but a heads up for anyone planning a visit next year.I was in Dubrovnik a month ago and came across The Soul Cafe at the end of one of the streets in the Old Town.Quite hard to find as it is only advertised with a small chalked blackboard which you can easily miss.No food just a great place to sit with a beer or coffee away from the crowds ,the owner was a nice guy ,music played ranged from bluesy big band to funk while I was there .Checked it out on Trip Advisor later and it's a matter of luck what's playing as other reviewer's heard a range of Classic soul.Probably no Northern but nice to find quality music where you'd least expect it.
