why what makes you think its in the wrong city ?
back in the 60s, liverpool was renowned for its soul music (before the mersey beat thing ) liverpool being the main port in which imported american soul music enterd the uk through , and was played here before most other places the sink club was running the same time as the wheel playing the same music and was just as populer by all acounts by those that went to both!! the wheel i believe went on longer ect', the beatles and the mersey sound completly took over and decimated the soul scene in liverpool . its always been a very cosmopolitan city and is a very cultured city always has been . many many diferent cultures and music thrive here side by side always have and always will , and before anyone starts to have a go .im a born and bread wiganer ...ie' greater manchester lad, who has lived on merseyside for many years , may not be as many northern fans (loads actually but not many clubs) in liverpool but sertainly loads of soul fans here !!
