March - London Stoke Hamburg Wigan Photos Mods Site...

Not sure when the first day of spring is officially but it certainly feels that the winter is long gone here in freedomsville 2011. And so as on this pleasant spring morning, I do have some time on my hands and a spring in my step it means its time for a quick look at this weekends allnighters and also some soul source site news and highlights

Allnighter wise this weekend sees three up in the event guide

100 Club Allnighter is first up, with its first niter since word that the future of the venue is firm was announced, which along with the recent discussion in msm that it is a contendor for the title oflongest running uk club night, does fit in with the feel good everything is as it should be vibe.

A few words from Ady c on what is in store..

" ...we're gonna be playing the world debut of Marva Holiday's sensational 'Rising Higher'; written by Sherlie Matthews, it was cut at the same legendary 1968 LA session as 'It's Written All Over My Face'.

Also a first time out at the 100 Club for Candi Staton's unissued 70s Fame gem 'One More Hurt'.Catch those and many more at: 100 Oxford St W1DJs Butch, Mick Smith, Joel, Ady Croasdell and guest spinners Nick & Dawn Brown"

 

more info and talk here

The first Kings Hall Stoke Allnighter of 2011 is underway tonight.

Kev r highlights in the pre-match build up that its 15 years long running for this major venue and has asked for any early flyers (if anyone can help). There's as usual a fair old buzz on the forum event thread and no doubt there will be just as much a buzz on the thread afterwards...

Can read it all via the link below

The third All nighter is For Dancers Only @Hamburg

Hamburg has to be close to the top of the list of the top cities that I have ever visited, and would say that if a city was ever purpose made for allnighers then Hamburg has to be a contender.

Offering 2 floors of Northern Soul, R&B, Modern Soul, Sixties Beat, Garage Punk, Psych, it sounds like its going to be worth missing the fischmarkt for.

Site Highlights

Things here at Soul Source do seem vibrant and healthy, over the last month the site is as busy and active as it has ever been, have had some great discussion, some great sounds, and have to say hats off to all the members who have made it that way..

A few off the cuff highlites

We have had a Wigan mystery finally solved by Derek P - the elusive photograph

A seller that restores faith in the whole internet sales thing

Over $2000 raised for a memorial to a legend

Along with the usual soul source stuff...

Exclusive and not so exclusive news and previews of forth coming releases, talk, clips and all sort on todays plays and events

Covers uncovered, new fresh info on artists background and history etc etc

On the geek side

Various geek improvements have been occurring over the last month

A lot in the background but other stuff thats visible includes...

Dave Rimmer has started his stand alone European Event Forecast, which deserves a mention

Always have had a strong active mainland european side to the site and sure this will be useful

Facebook/Twitter login intergration has worked well and now gone firm

Various Frontpage and Article improvements have occured

Mod Moves

A few changes to the team

Stevie Cato (member Little Stevie ) is now moving from forum mod (in aats) to joining the forum staff and is now looking after the freebasing section along with Karen

Roger (member 45cellar) is also making the move from forum mod to forum staff and him and ken will be shortly getting stuck into looking after the refosoul feature

Near Future

 

A main feature has had a major upgrade, work is still ongoing so won't say too much till work is 100% finished but will say its a big step forward both ease of use and the way it works

March should see a fair few final final improvements to most features along with a new major feature added all being well

Will post more as it occurs on those

That's about it, a bit lengthier than planned but hopefully of interest

Hope all having a good a day as myself

thumbs up
