If, like me, you have memories of your formative years in one of these places then chances are you’ll remember some of the tunes that were played there. I realise many youth clubs did not play soul related items but I was fortunate in that respect.
The two main youth clubs-disco’s where I lived were;
• St Mary’s Hall, this was really the in place and where I heard many of early soul sounds,
• Comprehensive school discos. The DJ was one of the sports teachers who fancied himself as a top DJ but wasn’t but in fairness he did play a few tunes.
I realise naming these clubs will mean nothing to people who did not live near or attend but the music they played would be relative to all. So, looking for soul tracks you heard in your youth club
Starting with this joyous anthem
I was 13 when i went to my first youth club which was at the Holy Trinity Church in Wallington SM6. It had a Dance-hall and one Record Player... Remembered music, Isley Brothers - This Old Heart Of Mine / Judy Street - What / Mr Bloe - Grooving with Mr Blow / Soft Cell- Tainted Love / Patrice Rushen Forget Me Not's and this which i still love.
