Amsterdam Russ

Must be a generational thing, but I find the dancing somewhat weird. It doesn't fit the music. Well, not in my world it doesn't.

And I love how, if you click through to YouTube, loads of people have asked what the song is without scanning the comments. If they did, they'd see the song/artist has been mentioned loads of times.

Ooh, interesting - and a series that completely passed me by. Will enjoy watching. 

Yet more fantastic tunes from Alberto and his Cannonball/Tesla labels!

anybody know the second track?

Neal

I do! 

Oh, my God! What have they done?

<Added>Just wondering - have they added a drum machine over the track to emphasise the 4/4 beat, or is it a remixed version?

Hello.

Is this a new club? Are there many Northern Soul venues in Holland? I had heard of the Amsterdam Soul Club but thought that was the only one. What is the soul scene like over there?

Yes, Northern Soul Amsterdam is a new club. It's been set up to replace the monthly Amsterdam Soul Club (ASC) nights, which are no longer happening. Instead they're holding "mini alldayers" to coincide with the "Soul Cruise" ferries that come over from the UK three or four times a year (the next one is Thurs 26th Nov).

Northern Soul Amsterdam consists of myself and Pete45 (resident DJ at ASC) and the event on 12th December will be our first one. If that goes well, we'll look at making it monthly. 

The Northern Soul scene over here is pretty small, but expanding. As well as our Northern Soul Amsterdam event there's another new one called Soulful Sunday (an afternoon/early evening session). The second of those events takes place this Sunday at Checkpoint Charlie.

There's also a monthly night in Rotterdam (at Rotown), and Pete45 and myself have a night organised in Den Haag on 28th Nov at O'Casey's Irish bar. So, there are a few events to choose from. We've a Facebook page here https://www.facebook.com/northernsoulamsterdam/ so you can keep up to date with what's going on.

Great - the beer selection alone should keep you and everyone else well happy!
