New Motown and Classic 60's / 70's Soul night

Lifestyle | Article

The City club is pleased to announce a new monthly night commencing on Friday 11 May with the emphasis firmly on the classic sound of 60's Detroit.

Tamla Motown featuring bands/artistes such as The Supremes,  The Temptations, The Four Tops, Marvin Gaye, Edwin Starr etc.

These will be played alongside a deluge of 60's Soul tracks from artistes such as Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett and 70's classics from bands/artistes such as Johnny Bristol, Sister Sledge,  Chic, Candi Staton and many more.

The night will be hosted by Classic Gold FM radio DJ Pete Revell with able help and assistance from Malcolm James.

The monthly event is aimed directly at those people who want to remind themselves of the 'golden era' of soul music in surroundings that will make them feel immediately at home.

"Pete Revell came up with the idea of promoting such a night after appearing at a Capital Gold weekend event in front of some 2000 people a months ago," said City Club co-owner Steve Jason,

"We already run a highly successful Northern Soul night in conjunction with the East Anglian Soul Club but this night won't compete with that at all - this night is more for the 'Hit single' end of Tamla Motown music followers whereas the Northern scene is more aimed at the underground/more obscure end of the 60's soul scene."

The first night starts on Friday 11 May from 8pm onwards.

Advance tickets are on sale priced at just £5 from The City Club. - or you can book over the phone by calling 01733 562101.

There's a special happy hour in the main bar from 8pm until 9pm with various special offers on spirits and bottled beers. Age policy is 21+ and the dress codes is casual but smart with no sportswear or trainers being allowed into the club.

The next Motown and Classic 60's and 70's night will be held on Friday 8 June at The City Club.
