Color One Tear Black welcomes Paul McKay and Dominic Owen as guest selectors at The Paradise on Sunday 13th November
Paul has been in this for the long-haul, having first started collecting soul 45s back in 1968. From being a regular at Terry Davis’ Wheatsheaf in the Kings Road, and running a mobile disco in the early 70s, he and a couple of soul-loving friends set up Soul in the City in 2001. This ran for six years and led to guest spots at the 100 Club, venues across the country, and internationally. More recently Paul has been spinning at Soul Prescription at the Betsy.
As well as being the man behind HERESY clothing, Dominic is a committed collector of sweet, mid-tempo and crossover, and has recently spun tunes at Spiritland, Ducie Street Warehouse and the Chelsea Arts Club.
Both Paul and Dominic have a broad approach to soul music, so we’re very much looking forward to their sweet and deep selections as it’s bound to be an education.
COTB residents Claire Kalvis, Jim Edwards and David Hill will also be spinning alongside Paul and Dominic on the 13th.
The second instalment in our Cost of Living mix series is now up on Mixcloud, and can be heard here. Tunes in this mix were chosen by COTB's Claire Kalvis and Dr. Kruger, the criteria being that all selections must be available today for £10 of less, in at least VG+ condition.
Set up in February 2016 by Thierry Cochet, AKA Dr. Kruger (NTS), Color One Tear Black celebrates group harmony, sweet and deep soul music, played on original issue 45s by resident DJs Dr Kruger, Claire Kalvis, Jim Edwards, David Hill plus guests. The night runs on the second Sunday of each month at The Paradise, 19 Kilburn Lane, London. W10 4AE.
