Most Soul fans have heard of the near legendary soul sessions at the Canal Tavern, Thorne back in the day and I was no exception. So after picking up a flyer at the Upfront weekender I decided to check it out. What can I say other than Impressed. Despite the atrocious weather the place was rammed to the rafters, Fish and a couple of other record dealers seemed to be doing okay sales wise and the dance floor though fairly small in comparison to some locally to me was full to capacity most of the time. The music was simply spot on, its a mystery what the difference of around 45 miles can have on the types of music being played, but hey thats why soul music is still a passion for many of us. Resident DJ Maria O was supported by excellent guests Ady Pountain, Dave Ripolles and Arthur Fenn who all played belting sets, dont ask me to remember tracks played as there were just so many quality tunes dropped by all the jocks. Had to leave relatively early as my wife wasnt feeling to good but I will definitely making the trip over the border for the next one in May. I highly reccomend that others give it a try.

Maybe we can get a minibus or something together for the next one, It would be great to get a few of the Lincs crowd over there for a night out dont you think?
Of course we would need someone to drive the bloody bus.............................
