Soulboyslim Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Saturday night been and gone and another good night at the Rafa Club Aycliffe. Without the dedication of the dj’s and the support from the soul fans it wouldn’t happen so thanks to all of you. It was good to see some returning faces, namely the Peterlee crowd, thanks for the support Dave, Pauline, Gibby and friend etc. There was quite a few new faces in the club but unfortunately I didn’t get to chat so I don’t know where you’re all from, again thanks for the support.
