South West Soul have been bringing their passion for soul music to the Fly by Night Musicians Club since January 2006 and with it’s fantastic friendly atmosphere, great dance floor & sound system young & old alike are returning time after time captivated by this music phenomenon. Come and see for yourself & experience a night of music that will capture the nostalgia of a scene that has spanned 40 years and 12000 miles. South West Souls’ four resident DJ’s, TONY ‘TBONE’, ‘SUZIE CUE’, BARRY ‘MR MOTOWN’ and ‘DJ’ DENNY play original vinyl that will have you dancing your socks off all night with an across the board mix of Motown, Northern Soul & Modern Soul. WHAT IS MOTOWN? This is black American soul music - the “chart’ topping, easy listening sounds by groups such as The Temptations, Dianna Ross and the Supremes, The Four Tops, Edwin Starr etc. With its roots in Detroit City (Motor Town… hence Motown) which you know so well but… there is more to soul music than that… WHAT IS NORTHERN SOUL? The best dance music in the world…..? This is a music and dance scene that emerged from the British mod scene from the sounds imported into the UK from America and played in the clubs like the Golden Torch, Wigan Casino and Blackpool Mecca in the north of England in the late 1960’s. the scene came hand in hand with a dance movement which was usually athletic featuring spins, flips & backdrops, very synonymous with Break dancing and some ardent soulies (who are now in their 50’s) are still able to pull off a few of these moves today! WHATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MOTOWN AND NORTHERN SOUL? Northern Soul still has the same 4x4 beat of Motown but it can have a more stomping, raw, pounding beat which you just have to dance to on the mid-tempo. Tear your heart out voices, which can make your hair stand on end and bring tears to the eyes of grown men. These are obscure rare tunes on tiny labels by mostly unheard of artists trying to become the next “Motown” star. They are the sounds which Motown producer Berry Gordy didn’t think would make it…! Northern Soul is HUGE all over the world – Come and be a part of it!
