Cotb With Jay Blades Doc Brown

Having been scuppered by the England squad making the final of the Euros, Color One Tear Black is back on Sunday 11th August with Jay Blades MBE and Calvin 'Doc B’ Brown as our guests.

In the last few years, Jay Blades has become a fixture of prime-time UK TV, with his The Repair Shop series, David (Jason) & Jay’s Touring Toolshed, and a string of other shows. What you may not know is that Jay is a huge fan and keen collector of soul and reggae 45s, which is what he’ll be digging into for his COTB debut. Calvin Brown has a long history with soul music, from helping to source Stateside vinyl for early record fairs back in the day, to frequent US buying trips – he has a deep knowledge and serious history. Persuaded to dust-off his record box in 2015 for JM’s Soul Connoisseurs Collective at Brilliant Corners, Doc B has since become a regular fixture at Carib Soul, the Doncaster Sunday Chill Out, as well as Color One Tear Black.

COTB residents Claire Kalvis, Jim Edwards, David Hill and JM will also be spinning alongside Jay and Calvin on 11th August.

Set up in February 2016 by Thierry Cochet, AKA Dr. Kruger (nts radio), Color One Tear Black celebrates group harmony, mellow steppers, sweet and deep soul music, all played on original issue 45s by resident DJs Dr Kruger, Claire Kalvis, Jim Edwards, David Hill, JM and monthly guests.

COTB runs on the second Sunday of each month at The Paradise, 19 Kilburn Lane, London. W10 4AE.
