List of them all follows, will try and keep the listings tidy but as from a wide era, it may get messy!
(note - orignals had photos etc, so may be dead links and so on)

floor dont let the tempo out you off this is soul.
as said great stuff, heres a few words from alan on where hes from and what hes up to:
"ive been dj-ing and running clubs since the early 80s my first dj stint being at the beat route soul a go go nite in 1980, started to collect soul as well as my first musical love reggae and ska. Dj-ed at most london mod clubs thru that period as well as running the successful reggae and ska nites at the penny black, sols arms and dublin castle in camden.
Irish greg and i got together to put on a do where we could have a good dance and enjoy great music and the capitol soul club was born, unfortunately we lost the bar shoreditch after eight great months, we then teamed up with mr jahans our fantastic promoter to start up the cap soul at
the dome which is going from strength to strength. MY love for r&b shows in my sets but im not averse to a stomper or 2.
You can catch me dj-ing at the dome every 6 weeks and down in brighton for the soul dayer on sunday 10th december see ya there.
best alan h.

thanks also to mr flynn for supplying the in match commentary......never guess football seasons just started
click the image to hear/stream the following sounds
You Can Say - Gary Dean - Young
It sweeps along on a tinkling piano with added beefy brass chords, but still
manages to cram in an instrumental break and crucial key change within its
one minute fifty five seconds.
Your Future - Robert "Redtop" Young - Soulsations
This Washington disc fair crunches along, on its heavy bass line and ever
present brass stabs. It did get a few spins by Keb and Gary Spencer many
moons ago, and is worthy of more me thinks
My Proposal - Soul inc - Coconut Groove
The best record Ive heard in the last decade or so without a doubt. It
features Cecil Washington (who also penned it) and the label shares the same
address details as Prophonics! An uptempo mover with several breaks and a
key change, but the vocals really steal the show - pure magic. Yes, its
bloody rare - thats life!?
This Ones For You My Love - Benny Spellman - Alon
This is my favourite spin at present, and very reminiscent of the early 80s
over played but much loved "Fortune Teller". This track rattles along and
features many fine piano breaks from New Orleans hero Allen Toussaint. It
took me many years to track down a copy (actually bought it for the other
side, which is also great Northern!), but I have no doubt that more copies
will eventually surface. When this happens the record could become a monster
tune across the land.
Just Cant Let It Ride - Dexter Manley - cover up
Ady Croasdell gave this one six months of 100 Club turntable action a few
years back, before it "disappeared" into my collection! Its the same song
as John DAndrea on MGM, but "Dexters" version is more menacing, with its
good strong brass work and organ breathing away. I must start playing this
at the Dome....remind me someone!
The Greatest Story Ever Told - Billy Arnell - cover up
A real grower that may take a couple of plays before it grabs you, put give
it a chance! Some have said that its the best thing theyve heard in years,
with its nagging beat, "tree chopping" guitar and swirling organ. Never
seen another copy apart from my one.
6 Throbbing tracks courtesy of the hitman
heres a full strength brew from the hitman with a selection of classy
movers, just hit the stream to hear
theres a new thing-dean and damons cover
getting things off to a flying start - uptempo time
get off my back - marvin l sims -revue
from a flyer to a gritty mover, with a plea from the porch
black is beautifull - trinikas
keeping the pace, the trinikas with a great piece of uptempo anthem
i need a man - precious three
time for a change nah.. more in the same vein, as the precious three tell us what they want
little john-just wait and see-gogate
once covered as jimmy raye at stafford, more grit in a stop start fly style
use it before you lose it- bobby valentin fania
another stafford sound with a soul meets latin thumper to end the show
Irish Greg from Dec 99
dont let it down-duke baxter- cover up
another of irish gregs current floor fillers - tremendous throbbing sound, one to die for
{stream}

incredible irish gregs newest spin enjoyed above ? check out next cap soul event

Pete C Soul session
Pete Coulson DJ and mag editor from up there in the northwest is this issues featured player, hitting us with a session featuring 6 of hottest r+b tracks around, plus notes and a brief bio on where hes coming from and wheres he going. Also responsible for fanzine "northern essence". All I say is
What a way to start the new year!
Hit {here} to stream the first session,
1) joe tex - i wanna be free - dial got this courtesy of steve thomson, blew me away first time of hearing, i played it for shifty at lowton and he tells me he has now got one, typical joe tex with plenty of breaks and changes, i am always getting asked for this, a great dancer.
2) contract on love - stevie wonder - tamla i have been after a copy of this for about two years but nobody would sell me one, i eventually settled for the album which i bought of bob hinsley, about a month later i was found a copy by simon, so if anyone wants stevie wonders greatest hits i have one for sale.
3) lois blain - here i am - open-g-records this great dancer chugs along with the breaks coming via the catch in loiss voice, out of new york just wonderful soul music.
4) richard berry - have love will travel - flip i am getting lots of requests for this top dancer, out of California i suppose it could be classed as doo wop if you wanted to pigeon hole it, got this of carl willingham when he acquired the demo, he wont have an issue in the house if he can get the demo, and the bugger has most things on demo, mostly white of course.
5) carol fran - knock knock - excello i first heard this about six months ago on a tape and had to have one, trouble was nobody had heard of it. i mentioned it to ian cunliffe and lo and behold he turned on up within a couple of months, we are not worthy ian, brilliant r&b with a distinctive start.
6) barbara lynn - second fiddle girl - jamie this was an unknown barbara lynn track to me, my good mate hoss played this to me at my house after a niter and it blew me away. always one of my favourite artists due to the diversity of her music. i had the privilege of meeting her and interviewing her for my magazine northern essence (plug) at last years cala gran and the lady is just that, one of the nicest most unassuming people i have ever met.
about me i started on the northern soul scene about 1968 when i first went to the twisted wheel in manchester, i was a regular there until it finished and then went to the blackpool mecca until i was married and then all things have to change. i was off the scene then until about seven years ago, now with my second wife viv we found that the scene was thriving more than when i left it. after our fist soul night we were hooked and have not looked back since, i think we have made up for those lost years a hundred times over since we started back, in fact it has virtualy taken over our lives. i have been involved in most aspects of the scene, as a promoter, dj and editor of my own fanzine northern essence, the mag has been great for me, i have met so many of the artists i have admired over the years, , to name a few, barbara lynn, eddie holman, jerry williams, terry callier and dean courtney and they have all been such nice people,just like most people on the scene. the great thing about the scene IS the people, we have made so many real friends from all over the country and making new ones every week, yes the music is important but if you are progressive thinking and you go out every weekend then you are going to have a lot of dissapointing nights if you do not put the company you are with first, then if you get a good night s music as well its a bonus. if you like the tunes mike has put on his site you can hear them and more like them every month at lowton civic hall where i am resident in the r&b room along with regulars carl willingham, roger banks and malc worsley plus guests. the next one is friday 8th december, by the way i will also be djing in the main room that night, my next few dates this month are at the savoy hotel in blackpool on saturday december 22nd, bolton anglers club on boxing night, the white hart in farnworth december 27th and again at lowton on new years eve.
ok thats that, know cynics will say recycling but as always reply is **** em, just looking at dates and the notes and of course the sounds, and what Isee make it worthwhile to me, so if wanna hear any of them again just let us know which and will dig deep.
