We're getting back on track with site updates after various interruptions, including a new club focus, this time on London's Rock 'n' Roll Soul. Martin Horsfield talks us through the club, which has been around since 2001, offering vintage tracks that rock and tracks with soul. Hence the name. The […]

Boutique London by Richard Lester
This is something of an advance heads-up as I have just encountered Boutique London A History: King's Road to Carnaby Street by Richard Lester, but details are scarce – as is a cover image. One thing to note though, this has nothing to do with Marnie Fogg's Boutique. Probably no […]
Carnaby Street 60s weekender
Not exactly something to make a huge effort to go to, but if you happen to be in the vicinity of Carnaby Street, Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th June 2010 hosts a 60s weekender there, celebrating 50 years since the dawn of that decade (give or take 6 months). Live […]
London Calling book by Barry Miles
Big thanks to Ed for flagging up a book that has passed us by – London Calling by Barry Miles. Described as 'a major and definitive history of the counterculture' by a 'pre-eminent chronicler of the cultural underground' (the author was indeed a leading light on the 60s underground scene), […]

Club focus: Hidden Charms (London)
Not just a club, Hidden Charms is more of a monthly R&B event. Taking in R&B in a wider, more original sense (as far back as the late 40s, through to the early 60s), the club mixes DJs with live R&B house bands and some 'exotic' dancing at the Cock […]
BFI to release The Pleasure Girls (1965)
A film that has passed me by this far, The Pleasure Girls will be released by the BFI and Flipside in the coming weeks on a dual-format disc (DVD and Blu-ray on the same disc). When Sally (Francesca Annis) moves to London to pursue a modelling career, she moves in […]
