Smiths Guitarist Discovers Northern Soul Shock

[Mike Lofthouse]

in the 'Best thing I've Heard all Year' lookback in this months Mojo, Johnny Marr reckons he's been going to a few Northern allnighters - The Palace in Manchester and a 'couple of good ones' at the Blackpool Winter Gardens where he heard the Contours 'Just A Little Misunderstanding'. it's all about the 'energy and feeling' apparently

Not played it yet but the the cover cd is a specially commissioned CD cover of the Stones 'Sticky Fingers' album by Soul artists including Daptone artists sharon Jones and the likes of Lee Fields.

and finally a good mention for Dave Rimmers's 'Soulful Kinda Music' web site in the 'Surf's Up' column.

The CD sounds like something cool, will definitely have to keep an eye out for that.
