And I used to like Nottingham so much back in the day.

I used to pal about with the Nottingham soul crowd in 66/67/68. We'd meet up at the Mojo in Sheffield till that closed in September 67. I'd also call in at Nottingham on my way to the Nite Owl (Leicester) from mid to late 67. Some of their soul crowd drifted into going to the Wheel when both the Owl & Mojo had gone by November 67 (as did I).

They had some great clubs back in their hometown in the 60's (Dungeon, Beachcomber, Boat Club, Britannia Rowing Club, etc.) but I never attended any of them. Notts Palais also had a good reputation.

Later on (when I was living in Worksop -- 80's) we used to attend the soul do's / live shows @ Rock City. Had some great nights there. Also went along to a couple of nights at the Boat Club around then.

Yep, a real hot bed of soul music was/is Nottingham. The Boat Club, at the side of the Trent, and next to the Forest ground is still going great guns. Sells out.

I hope you're well Roburt.
