Souled Out.......


...to the rhythms of ska, Northern Soul, sixties beat music and the neoMods of the eighties and beyond?

Looking to find a suitable place to lay your hat; perhaps the Original Soul Rebels HQ can fill a void. When I visited the floor was heaving in celebratation of a Mod birthday, for an SL face and scooter creator. The music was sounding awesome a wide range of beat bands with the odd soul track thrown into the mix to spice it up.

The art work on the club is wonderful, but the architecture and general feel is more airport lounge than thrusting club, bit of a dissapointment. Ignoring the insipid structural flaws the sounds were stunning the DJ really knew how to string a set of tunes together and the enthusiastuic dancers bayed and hooed for more and he served up a cracking set on a platter. I thoroughly enjoyed it as did everyone else there.

So should you add the venue to your Modernist list?

Well the night I asttended was a party, but the DJ is a regular and it was worth going to hear his set. Give it a whirl. I'll be trying it out again soon.
