Guest thierry Posted February 3, 2008 Posted February 3, 2008 Hello not so much of a regular poster on the forum. But i need your help. I've been interested since more than a quarter of a century now in collecting and listening to black music , mainly from the 60s . My main interests are R&B, Blues, Club Soul and deep funk . I never really collected Northern soul 45s and most of that part of the music is on reissues/cds in my collection, since it's impossible to buy everything . Anyway from time to time i visit some relatives in the midlands and have been to several soul nighters, met some nice people ... Musicwise i was expecting to hear some of the latest discoveries by some of the djs, but it seemed that 95% of the punters were only looking forward to hear some stuff that is listed in Kev Roberts's guide, so this was also what most of the djs had on offer. So i must say that i was a little bit dissapointed . So this is the point were i need your help . What night / nighter in the midlands would you be able to recommend to hear some great discoveries with a good mix of classics and rarities (i'm not really keen on modern soul) . looking forward to hear from you . best regards and thanking you in advance for your help . Thierry (mod , not the modern from Brussels ... to avoid the confusion)

Sharon Cooper Posted February 3, 2008 Posted February 3, 2008 Hi, if you are in our part of the midlands (North Derbyshire) on the 3rd Saturday of each month I reckon you may find what you are looking for at Pilsley. Website will give basic `how to find us` details or you can PM us for more information. Anyway, Hope you are succesful in your quest!!

Thierry (mod , not the modern from Brussels ... to avoid the confusion) Willington in Derby....I think Denmac's on this site so he'd be able to advise. Go for Den's set alone - and there's always an excellent selection and variety of tunes played by Rob Kay and Austen. The guest is always interesting as well - so Willington it is Jo
