Popular Post Soulboyslim Posted July 6, 2015 Popular Post Posted July 6, 2015 RAFA SOUL CLUB – JULY 4th 2015 SERIOUS SHADES OF SOUL SPECIAL GUEST DJ’S, Geoff Buckley (Clitheroe), Pete Fowler (Perth Australia), John Phillips (Gold Coast Australia).Had to get there early as we knew the dj’s would be there bang on time to hear what was played to prevent hearing the same thing twice. Promoter Ian Shoulder kicking off the night.IAN SHOULDER 7.15 – 8.00pmRON HARRINGTON – IT HAPPENED TO ME - HILLSIDEWHISPERS – YOU CAN’T FIGHT WHAT’S RIGHT – DORESOLITAIRES – FOOL THAT I AM – MGMLARRY WRIGHT – IT’S OK WITH ME – A-GO-GOLES MACK & THE IMPACTS – SO BLUE – JOKERS 3KELL OSBOURNE – QUICK SAND – TITANICLOUIS PAUL – THE CHANGE WILL DO YOU GOOD – INTRORAY POLLARD – WANDERLUST – DECCACHALFONTES – CONFESSING MY LOVE – MERCURYJOHNNY McRae – I LIKE THAT GIRL – DCINSIGHTS – I NEED YOUR LONELINESS – PALMETTOKRIS PETERSEN – JUST AS MUCH – TOP DOGLARRY ATKINS – LIGHTEN UP – HIGHLANDTHEOLA KILGORE – IT’S GONNA BE ALRIGHT – MERCURYMAJOR HARRIS – CALL ME TOMORROW - OKEHSUGAR & THE SPICES – HAVE FAITH – SWANA great start by Ian playing something different which reinforces his attitude in making people listen to great soul records that you never really hear anywhere else. Pete Fowler from Perth Australia (former Chorley resident) was first up as guest dj and playing a quick half hour set to get things moving along. No introductions really necessary for this imposing soul DJ – here’s what happened.PETE FOWLER – 8.00 – 8.30pmBUSTER AND EDDIE – CAN’T BE STILL – CLASS WDPERIGENTS – LOVE ON A RAMPAGE - MALTESEBILLY GEE – THE NAME OF THE BAG - JOYE ELLUSIONS – YOU DIDN’T HAVE TO LEAVE – LAMONMAC STATEN – THERE SHE GOES – PRELUDEROTATIONS - PUT A NICKEL ON D9 – FRANTIC DEMOSPYDER TURNER – ALIVE WITH A LOVING FEELING – MGM (FRENCH EP)KATIE BRIGGS – LAST TIME AROUND - MOS-RAYWILLIE HUTCH – LOVE RUNS OUT – DUNHILLJOHN AND THE WIERDEST – NO TIME – TIE (the best side)KEITH CURTISS – I GOT TO KEEP YOU BABY – SMOKEWADE FLEMONS – JEANETTE – RAMSELERNEST MOSELY - STUBBORN HEART – LA-CINDYPeter and wife Maxine were the second couple in the place after Geoff and Margaret and we kept them busy from the start. First guest dj spot went to Peter and he started and finished as he meant to go on with classics from Buster and Eddie and Ernest Mosely with hard edged soul in between – more from him later.Geoff Buckley from Clitheroe was our main guest DJ and he arrived mega early with wife Margaret as Ian was playing the 4th record of his set and Geoff explained he wanted to hear everything that got played so that no repetitions took place. A nicer couple you could not wish to meet anywhere, great people, mega soul fans and a hidden DJ (for the North East) for sure.GEOFF BUCKLEY – 8.30 – 9.00pmTERRY SINCLAIR – WHAT HAVE YOU HEARD – D.P.G.BARRINO BROTHERS – JUST A MISTAKE – T.C.B.SIR GEORGE (GINO WASHINGTON) – I LOST YOU GIRL – G&GJAMES HAVIOR – GIRL, GIRL, GIRL - CROWJOE TOWNS – TAKE MAMA OUT OF THAT SHACK – TOP DOGELSIE STRONG - ASK THE LONELY – SOUNDS INTERNATIONALBABY WASHINGTON – GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF – UNITED ARTISTSCAROL ANDERSON – TAKING MY MIND OFF LOVE – WHIPPSAM FLETCHER – I’D THINK IT OVER TWICE – TOLLIEHARRY STARR – ANOTHER TIME ANOTHER PLACE – ENDEDITH BROWN – YOU THINK LOVE IS SOMETHING TO PLAY WITH – 4 BROTHERSGIL BLANDING - RULES – READYFantastic early set from Geoff and introducing 4 records from the night’s free cd which he compiled. We were at Bridlington last week (27th June) and by chance I met up with John Phillips from Australia and reminisced about him dj’ing at The Cumby Soul nights (a previous venture of ours) about 10 / 11 years ago and mentioned that we were running the RAFA CLUB soul nights – “I’ve heard about that place and watched the play lists – might come up for a listen”. Never mind come for a listen – bring a play box and get on the decks I said.

Thank you for your support Geoff and for the 2 sets you did plus the free cd listing which was most of Geoff’s 2 sets plus a bit more…. Just book the guy.Final set from Pete Fowler and he’s got the bit between his teeth – GO Go Go…..PETER FOWLER 10.45 – 11.30pmPRIMERS - HOW DOES IT GRAB YOU – HALE (big allnighter monster for the firat time at the Rafa Club)LILLIE BRYANT - MEET ME HALF WAY - TAY-STER DEMO (mega Northern Soul)CAVALIERS - WITHOUT SOMEONE TO TELL ME – UNISSUEDJIMMY BURNS - I REALLY LOVE YOU – ERICADON GARDNER - CHEATIN KIND - SEDGRICKCANDI STATON - NOW YOU'VE GOT THE UPPER HAND – UNITY (how good does this sound now!)HAYES COTTON - I'LL BE WAITING – CLAIRETOMMY BUSH - I DON'T LIKE IT (BUT I LOVE YOU) - RIKAREE FLORES - LOOK INTO MY HEART - M&HDE-LITES - LOVER – CUPPYJAY WALKERS - CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT YOU – SHIOSILHOUETTES - NOT ME BABY - GOODWAY DEMOLES FEMMES – POWER PACKFOUR PERFECTIONS - I'M NOT STRONG ENOUGH - PARTY TIMEGWEN OWENS - JUST SAY YOU'RE WANTED (AND NEEDED) - VELGO DEMO (drool)SIDNEY BARNES - I HURT ON THE OTHER SIDE - BLUE CAT DEMOLARRY CLINTON – SHE’S WANTED IN THREE STATES – DYNAMO DEMO (still drooling)BILLY ARNELL & THE SPARKLES - TOUGH GIRL - HOLLYJIMMY THOMAS - THE BEAUTIFUL NIGHT - UK PARLOPHONE DEMOSome BIG GUNS from Peter in his last set for sure.

If you haven’t been to the club – give it a try, I’ll guarantee you’ll not be disappointed. Special thanks go to Geoff Buckley (and Margaret) for everything they do for us and to the OZ Connection – Pete Fowler (and Maxine) plus an impromptu appearance from John Phillips for delivering a spectacular soul sizzler at The Rafa club.Next month is the summer sabbatical so there will be no soul night in August; next one is 5th September with very special guest Pat Bleasdale.See you then folks…Regards Paul. 9
Dsoulie Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Excellent night right from the start. Missed the last hour due to work the next day.Great sets from all those that graced the decks
NEV Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Brilliant sets all night ,but we are used to it aren't we Was a nice surprise to bump into John Phillips again ,always good craic and a top bloke he is too ! Not a full house but as i said on the night .. the right people turn up ,who appreciate the music on offer and to be honest , the balance on offer of mid tempo and uptempo dancers ,is enough to please any soul fan ,so you have to give credit to the promoters for always striving to keep to the programme of high quality and attention to the dancer !Nuff said .. seeya all in September for another quality installment from the residents and the lovely lady dj and good friend Pat Bleasdale ,she will not disappoint !
johnnyfromdonny Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Great venue only topped by the people in the venue..friendly welcoming, real deal soul fans..blow out soul music all night...so glad I made the effort to get up there and spinning a few was the icing on the cake.
