Hello fellow soul searchers. First Soul night this year is our 2nd anniversary in the Belmot club..For this reason we have an all Aberdeen DJ line up for that night. Early doors fall to Steve "cobblers"Riddell as per usual then. "Spinnin" Steve Willox and Harry "Bleezin" Bowman grace the decks for a bit of nostalgia and some tempting toonz. Followed by Alan "soft lemons" Paterson.(personal joke) Then the DYNAMIC DUO..Fatman and Dobbin(me and Tubbs).The Dobbin name has nothing to do with Tubbs being hung like a horse.HONEST..more like a Shetland pony.Playing any old pish that takes our fancy which we are allowed as the RESIDENT DJ,s..Any complaints please submit them to me in writing and you will be told to F**K off accordingly..

Soul Source - Policy Yet again we publish some news that we think will be of interest to soul fans, in this case the sacking of a dj. Yet again we have hysteric reaction from a certain person and his followers claiming conspiracies, campaigns, false postings and so on All we do is try and let you know whats happening, and that is what we will continue to do, the attempts by others to influence this site with their threats will just give us more determination to let you know what is going on End of day we will continue posting all news. Well every time we publish true accounts of going ons concerning levine, its the same old game, hysteria and lies to undermine the fact that it is true. Lies this time were as follows Claims all postings were by myself and someone else - well the system records each IP of every post on this site. If need be we can prove that comments are genuine. Moderation - a certain Neil Page is claiming comments that all pro -levine statements were modedrated with a minus 1 rating.- Please note as said on intro ALL abusive posts, were given this rating, as they could not be deleted without the whole thread being removed. Instead they were moderated . Anyone can see and check this in 5 seconds, however Neil Page it seems is just another one to add to the list of those who just dont care about the truth. Site Operation - This site is run by one person, and thats me - mike h. Attempts to make out others are involved are false. Majority of stuff is knocked out by myself and hence if have a problem with any of it contact me, not try and make out it is a global conspiracy

Seems like Levine has been given the Heave Ho from the Ritz and Togetherness updated 08 Jan 02 "Well seems after initial reports a fuller picture is now quickly emerging - he has indeed been sacked from the Ritz line up and also will not be asked back onto Jazz FM - but is still on at Togetherness. Updated 09 Jan 02 More news: threats against "a former friend", planning a new event in North West, £1000 rewards, etc etc

Original post edited Will just say those 12 + adverts featured on Jazz FM cellar of soul were... ...sheer hell. First time quite funny listening to a certain persons claims, but that very quickly wore off as they continued repeating them through the show.

A brand new Northern event, in a brand new venue. Many people in the Yorkshire area will remember the old Brooklands motel just of the M1 at Barnsley. That has now been replaced by a superb multimillion pound hotel complex with its very own nightclub designed specifically for the over 30s. The Scarletts club hosts its first Northern night on February 23rd with resident DJs Snowy and Derek Pearson. For those that have never been to Barnsley before the Brooklands complex is situated less than 5 minutes from junction 37 of the M1 motorway, which makes it less than 30 minutes away from Leeds, Sheffield, Wakefield, Rotherham, Chesterfield and East Manchester. Tickets purchased in advance cost £4:00, or pay on the door £5:00 before 10pm, £7:00 thereafter. Doors open to the club at 9pm through till 2am. There are also special deals for admission plus bed and breakfast. More details can be obtained from the hotel on 01226 299571 or http://www.brooklandshotel.com

Heard Jazz Fms guest this weekend is Jo Wallace, resident dj at these Old Shoes and guesting all over the place. As been told she was a right old laugh on recent Wire FM show sounds like this be one not to miss! http://www.theseoldshoes.com
