Motown/soul only. NO NORTHERN SOUL!!

[Grantham]

Are there any venues that play only mowtown, stax, chess, atlantic soul music of the sixties? and not northern soul!!

 

Every function that we have been to in the last 2 years has been  dominated  by northern soul, we want to know if there is anywhere that plays all the old classics, known by millions and not obscure records only known by a few?

 

If you know, then please tell us.

Thanks

Think you need a motown night ?

[Woodbutcher]

A very quick search threw up this one so I'm sure you can find others ....

i'm not sure how far you may want to travel. but Denton Labour Club ( M/Cr) do a Motown/Soul night. They also do a Northern night (separatly)

I've never been to the former...but i have to the later, and it's v.g.

 

hope this helps. good luck

[Mr Fred]

Without sounding to be talking down at you all these record labels are covered by the term Northern soul, and Northern soul is not obscure but known by millions. . Can you be specific in your choice of records so that I can possibly help you and recommend some venues, Albeit they will be in yorkshire as I'm a yorkshire lad.

Regards Fred Ward.

I have been to both and the MOTOWN/SOUL night is once a month on a saturday night , has mainly motown and soul but although the sixties do feature its not exclusively 60`s, plus some "northern" gets played if its popular or crossover , but they leave the grittier Northen soul for the first friday of the month "Northern Soul" night

 

so mainly sixties and seventies soul and motown, mainly more well known tunes too, so is possibly what the OP is after

 

both events are in the soul source planner and so are easily found

[Grantham]

we were around in the day's of the Mojo: Shefield, Twisted wheel/Manchester, Night owl/Leicester and Beachcomber./Nottingham. we just like to go somewhere where they play the Aretha Franklin,Temptations, Four tops, James Brown, Otis Redding etc.,  But all we hear is Northern soul stuff.

 

We want to go somewhere where we can dance to some classic sounds. I hope someone knows of a venue that plays the above sounds!

Northern Soul is Motown, Stax, Chess, Atlantic soul music from the 60's!   

Northern Soul takes/plays the best tracks to dance to, from all those labels!

A local promoter is just starting this, hopes it will be a weekly thing if there's enough interest. https://www.facebook.com/pages/category/Performance---Event-Venue/The-Bosted-Wheel-Motown-Club-2067603456606137/

Great result!

 

As others have said there are many events that are biased towards the sounds you are looking for, most will specify the Motown/Soul angle if they are more geared toward that than the more full-on Northern soul, in the SS events section, most promoters will specify if their event is that way inclined, well worth looking into, there are many events posted here in various areas up and down the country.
