This is a “typical” playlist for a 60’S SOUL TIME evening all played on vintage vinyl. This one is from a private 60 th birthday party held in February 2011. The evening was not “pre-empted” other than a request to play 60’s soul, from someone who attended one of my evenings, and the vast majority of tunes were requests on the night, hence the slight motown slant. The majority of tunes however are “better known” and not too obscure, and very similar to my original 60’s club sets.
This session has been tried out at several locations on the outskirts of Reading, on a sporadic basis and we are hoping to make it more regular at a central location in Reading.
The first two hour set below was basically background music allowing for chatting, eating and drinking.The second three hour set is the full on “dancer”, with dropdowns every so often to “smootchies”.
If you are interested in either a private party or the regular sessions proper if they recommence contact jim at jimz@freenetname.co.uk
I also undertake another private party evening called ALLSORTS, where I play basically more top 40 music across the board from the 50’s to the 90’s. I recently undertook a 40’s evening , so anything is possible, either across the decades or decade specific/ particular musical styles.
Thanks for reading this, and keep on keepin’ on-
Jim.
