Yep, Soul @ The Ship in Leigh has a very friendly crowd despite their heretical devotion to the devil's musak . I also hear that there is a Soulful R&B / Modern Soul event at Ashwells Country Club, Brentwood, this Saturday 26th April, 2pm to 2am with live appearances from Nicole Jane and Nathan Watson who I am sure are renowned virtuosos of their genre. Contact number for this one is,07775 835901. The link below may give more info.

If all that fails, I'm told a certain shed at the bottom of a garden in South Woodham is a Modern Soul shrine on the occassions when Mr Stubbs lets it all hang out
