Roburt Posted June 11, 2023 Author Posted June 11, 2023 It seems strange now but lots of UK pop groups had a soul song as their signature 'live show' tune ... Some are well known, others not so .... GENO WASHINGTON -- Michael ALAN BOWN SET -- Headline News JIMMY JAMES & VAGS -- Hi Diddley Dee Dum Dum & Ain't Love Good, Ain't Love Proud The MOVE -- Open The Door To Your Heart & Zing went the Strings Of My Heart AMEN CORNER -- Our Love Is (In The Pocket) & I Don't Want To Discuss It And Amen HOLLIES -- Stay & Just One Look THE ACTION -- I'll Keep Holding On & Baby You've Got It Zoot Money BRB -- Stubborn Kind Of Fellow & Please Stay The Artwoods -- I Take What I Want & I Feel Good (Benny Spellman song) Herbie Goins & The Night-Timers – No. 1 In Your Heart Ronnie Jones & BJ's -- You're Looking Good Chris Farlowe -- In The Midnight Hour ETC. ETC.
Roburt Posted June 15, 2023 Author Posted June 15, 2023 (edited) An extra bit of info, connected to my last post ... The Foundations manager ran his own record label (TREND) -- after first running his own chain of record shops. The Foundations live act was always filled with cover versions of obscure soul tracks. They said it was coz they had a large record collection -- really it was their manager (who's chain of shops imported US 45's to sell) who had the large stock of soul records. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TZABCzz7ac Edited June 15, 2023 by Roburt

Sophie Cottle Posted February 15 Posted February 15 Im on a mission to track down my second cousin, Sandra, who worked at the Scene Club back in the 1960s. She was a key part of the Wednesday night event called Off the Record with Sandra. Ive heard so many stories about those nights and Id love to connect with her again, to hear more about that legendary time. If anyone has information on how to reach her, Id really appreciate it! 1
Dimples Posted February 15 Posted February 15 According to the book King Mod by Steve Turner, Sandra Lane—later known as Sandra Blackstone—disappeared without a trace in 1966, soon after the closure of The Scene Club, presumably moving to America to start a new life. I know it's not much help, but it's a start. You can also see two pictures of Sandra in the book. https://www.amazon.co.uk/King-Mod-Meaden-Making-Subculture/dp/191273351X/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=9EIAUOAO2IJJ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.pwsUApVwSkVb74ix8D6wLQ.MGGkpjX_egfbqayL1gYh6Yiyxw3PXNz2KH6hoLKGOvY&dib_tag=se&keywords=king+mod+peter+meaden&qid=1739642650&sprefix=king+mod%2Caps%2C120&sr=8-1
Ady Croasdell Posted February 15 Posted February 15 Brian Peters used to DJ there at the same time but I'm pretty sure he had lost touch; I'll ask
Dimples Posted February 15 Posted February 15 A few of the dances Mods will knock their socks off in London as shown by the late great Patrick Kerr on Mirabelle magazine in 1964.
