Our guide to upcoming live soul in the UK

Total Soul loves live soul music - so here's a guide to the best gigs coming up in the UK over the next few months.

At Camden's Jazz Café in north London, there's a packed line-up of concerts between now and Christmas.  Highlights include Mica Paris performing back-to-back gigs on 7th and 8th December, while Soul II Soul's Jazzie B is fronting a club night on 17th December.

At The O2 in Greenwich, The Temptations and The Four Tops were due to perform together in mid-October but the show has been rescheduled to 2022.  Next door, at Indigo at the O2, Melba Moore, Loose Ends and Odyssey are all part of the Soultown Festival on 10th December.

Earlier in the year, Hideaway in Streatham announced it had closed indefinitely as it seeks new premises, but Band on The Wall in Manchester is open once again after renovation work was completed - and is taking bookings all the way into 2022, when Mario Biondi is due to perform.

There's also good news at Zeffirellis in Cumbria - which is welcoming back audiences after a lengthy COVID-19 closure.
