Loose Ends at Revival 3 + classic Jazz Funk & Soul

Most bands return to cities every 3 to 4 years, however UK Soul pioneers Loose Ends have left it a little longer to return to the club where they made their one and only Peterborough appearance in November 1986 – Sunday 23rd Nov to be precise!

Now some 39 years or some 14,063 days to be precise the band are returning to the exact venue that put them on back in 1986.

Although the name of the venue may have changed its a fair bet that a lot of the people attending on the night may well have been in the audience when the band – at the time, the hottest UK soul act played Steve Jasons Sunday night Soul Night at Canters as it was known then.

‘it was by far the busiest night we ever had in the club’ said Steve ‘The band were appearing at much bigger venues than Canters but we were lucky as because it was a Sunday we managed to book them on the way back from a big gig in the North. I remember vividly the queue stretching right across the recently pedestrianised Bridge Street to Woolworths and then turn at right angles towards Marks and Spencers!

However, this return visit on the 25th May will be just as highly anticipated for the classic 80’s Soul Crowd in the area as the band are celebrating the 40th Anniversary of their biggest hit single ‘Hanging on a Street’. ‘I’ve worked with the band over the past 4 years and are promoting them in the Summer with the SOS Band and I mentioned to Carl McIngtosh, ( Lead singer) about coming back to Peterborough and he said ‘why not’!!

The date is Bank Holiday Sunday 25th May and its part of the ‘Jazz Funk & Soul Revival’ events that Steve hosts alongside fellow DJ Steve Allen when the music is completely based on the Peterborough clubs if the 80’s that really led the way for the Soul & Funk scene that was happening nationally.
