Bridgesoceity Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Just recently finished reading ‘Looking for Romance ( with Steve Davis ) and wondered if anybody enjoyed it as much as I did?. From the opening few pages and reading of the demise of Soul Sam through to northern Soul vicars I was hooked !. Not your usual talcum powder enduced book about Northern Soul but a real life account of the trials and tribulations that fuel our Romance of Rare Soul 45 brotherhood. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Frankie Crocker Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Strange title for the book causes confusion... Kissing The Black might have been better... Ben is a top lad and erudite to boot, so I would certainly advocate checking out this volume. Don’t recall Sam’s demise, he’s always been ahead of the game. I’ve always said the next best thing to listening to the music is reading about the music, so I will certainly be picking up the book. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Coolnotes Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 I really wanted to like it and struggled through three quarters of it. I had some sympathy with some of his characters .. might even imagine it as a TV drama. but the plot wasn't;t strong enough for me to see it through to the end .

Whosthatlailey Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Well, I thouroghly enjoyed it! Ben brilliantly captures the ecentricty of some characters you meet on the scene. Some good laughs along the way too. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Bridgesoceity Posted October 27, 2018 Author Share Posted October 27, 2018 spot on, also leaves your imagination to colour in the characters you don’t know! Hope Ben has a part 2 in his locker?! 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Whosthatlailey Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Follow up - Bumped into a freind of mine who was on the London/Brighton scene inthe late 90/00's and she told me she'd read it it and loved it - maybe she said, a bit close to home (in a good way) - I would just like to say that if you like contempary fiction and old soul records - this is the book for you x 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
