Two Can Have a Party - The Contacts - Live Studio Version (2021)

#northernsoul #keepthefaith #soul
At the height of the first Covid19 Lockdown, in 2020, Luke Allport & Gemma McDowell from The Contacts released an online version of Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell's 'Two Can Have a Party'
The Contacts are a Motown & Northern Soul band from Peterborough UK.
It was an instant online hit, quickly gaining over 12k views in the first couple of weeks. For most of us stuck at home with Covid19 restrictions, we couldn't go anywhere and the world needed reminding that two people can actually have a party, with a little help with some online music and LIVE streams from a Soul band in the UK.
This studio version was recorded for the charity fundraising 'It's All About The Music' from Mod Shoes Studios in March 2021. Its a bit more polished than the original online version but still holds the same meaning, bringing us together at difficult times.
