Just to let you know that Ive just found out that Hoagy is yet again in hospital, but this time it is something to do with his legs. Just got a CD of Hoagys performance along with Sids from Cleethorpes and they are thinking of putting it out on CD after it has been edited. The sound quality is superb as the recording was made through the mixing desk at the venue.

Quick Word on Broughton Wings Soul Nite. First time visit to this venue and a great nite. Held in the British Aerospace social club at Broughton near Chester, nite was a well welcomed change from the normal format of events. The club itself is a very plush venue that the words social club just doesnt do justice. Because of world events, there was a tightening of security but this was hardly noticable. Sounds wise, well few plays below but were talking about across the board feel here with all eras covered and not just the token 60s 45 as some "open minded " venues do, which fitted in perfectly with the venue and the crowd. As said just a quick word, but if youre after a classy nite out with some well classy soul this well could be your thing. Most definitely be returning and recommended. Couple of top plays from the nite from DJs Steve Thomas (Holyhead) first main spot Charles Johnson - Never had a love so good - Alston Soul Communicators - Those Lonely Nights - Fee Bee Jive Fyfe - If I had a Chance - Decca Dells - Thinking About You - Cadet Bob Hinsley Top 3 plays from the nite Bobby Rich - Theres A Girl Somewhere For me- Sambea Charisma Band - Aint Nothing Like Your Love- Buddah Vivian Carrol - Oh Yeah Yeah Yeah - Merleen Brian Ellis was on next but by that time was well in to enjoyment mood and forgot to ask plus memory let me down Soul Sam finished the nite with as always some great stuff Played a couple of Detroit 60s one offs - which sounded good on first hear one dodgy recollection was - Had a quick visual at one and tried comitting it to memory ! result was Marget Lettin - love will find a way - genloro but even now looking at it doesnt seem right at all, still its as good as it gets, treat it as a anagram challenge the other which after a determined effort to remember all 3 of us could come up with was errr.. it had the word angel in. Friday saw monthly local soul nite at Llandudno Rugby Club, Djs inc Mark Mac, Mark Morgan, Chico, Tash +, As always a good social nite, Sounds wise Oldies, Current , R n B and 70s Managed to grab top 3 from nite of Chico whos guesting at next Broughton Viola Edwards - love Me Baby TSU Tornados - Please Heart Dont Break - rampart st Jerry and Capreez - Shes Gone - c/up Sunday saw Soul Sam at The Carlton Pub Llandudno for a top local casual laid back pub quality soul nite.

The place to be for rare soul this weekend in the north west is the Greatstone Hotel, Stretford, Manchester. This weekends guest DJs are Phil Wainwright and Alex Jones, both of whom have superb collections - be prepared for some awesome seldom heard toons. For those of you who havent been its a cosy little cellar bar, not unlike the Beehive in Bradford, but this place is suited more toward the chin rubbers amongst us as there isnt that much room to dance. Another attraction is that you get a supper included with the admission.

Reviews - Lowton - North and South and More On Weekend Story so far ..... Lowton - North and South - Top Nite - Full ish review on happenings and plays plus can hear last 30 mins of final spot - Wilton - Reports say great nite as usual with classy music from the residents and guests. 100 Club - Been told Saturdays niter had great atmosphere and as always great sounds Weekend - As said before there were three top drawer events on this weekend, 100 club niter, Wilton Niter and Lowton mini-niter, which must have made it a hard call for lovers of quality rare soul , to decide where to go. Myself, well as Lowton was the closest and as it was a one off featuring 4 of CSC djs guesting it had to be that one. Well my view looking back on it all is .............an outstanding nite! One of the most enjoyable nites have had in a long while, everything seemed to come together, Djs seemed to be on a mission, lot of only see once in a while faces made the trip, an appreciative dancefloor, yeah for me all things combined and made it a great nite. Format of the nite was North And South, with 4 of Capitol Soul Club DJs making journey up from the Dome and five from the North playing at home DJS Line up went something like Paul Baldwin & Dave Holt Ian Cunliffe Missed these spots as didnt get in to late, anyone fill in details? Stuart Tyler - Though made determined effort to get there early enough to catch a full set from Stuart T, as missed his last 2 at dome, failed miserably! Managed to catch last 20 mins or so, which included Gladys Tyler - A Little Bitty Girl - Decca Exits - I Dont Want To Hear It - Gemini Deadbeats -No Second Chance-strata Arthur Fenn - First time caught him for years, started off with Black Wings Have My Angel and continued with a well strong mix of rare 60s and classy 70s Terry Davis - Havent heard him for a while as last two events went to he didnt show . Didnt catch a lot as was record barring and R+B-ing , but did catch Soul Sounds and Gotta Have Money -Exits Irish Greg- A Storming set, carried on in same style as at Nantwich niter- top sounds coming at you from every angle Heres playlist (not in order) Mayfield Singers - Dont stop Now - Unissued Vocal Version Districts - One lover (just wont do) - Nile TC Lee & The Bricklayers - Up & down the hill - King Nat Hall - Why - Loop Virgina Blakley - Let nobody love you - Mojo OC Tolbert - You got me turned around - Unissued Gene Toones - What more do you want - Simco New Wanderers - Let me render my service - Ready Sonattas - Going on down the road - Hotline Gerri Hall - Who can I run to - Hotline Bobby Adams & Betty Lou - Dr Truelove - Tarx Four Tops - Lonely lover - Unissued Johnnie Mae Matthews - Dont mess with my man - Big D Bobby Treetop - Wait till I get to know ya - Tuff Judy Freeman - Hold On - Unissued lp version Counts - Our love going to get stronger etc - Yes Brand New faces - Brand New Faces - Lujuna Curly Moore - You dont mean - Sansu Tim Brown - Dug out many rarities and some classy revivals from ones you dont just hear cause of rarity such as CODs - Shes On Fire to classy revivals such as Eddie Parker -Love You Baby David Flynn - What was Mr Flynn up to, was expecting a fairly balanced set, you know like a few safe plays thrown in...... But werent to be. It was like he was on a mission, spent the whole spot under a constant attack of top quality one offs, rarities and stormers. And all worked and went down well Full playlist below Kenny Bernard & The Chapter Five - One in a million - CBS unissued Del Chaisonettes -Dont let him hurt you - shrine September Jones - Give me all of your loving - pied piped unissued Benny Spellman - This ones for you - Alon Sidney Barnes -Safety Zone- Jobette Acetate Rodd Keith and Raindrops - Like the lord Said-Preview Del Larks - Out of the "In-crowd" - Jet Helen Troy - Bring Me That Man-Cover up Fran Oliver- Searching for my man- cover up September Jones - Im with you- pied piped unissued Donna Loren - Blowing out the candle - Capitol Oxford Nights-Im Such A lonely One- Delphi Soul Inc- My Proposal- Coconut Groove Tyrone Ashley -I want my baby back -Phil LA of Soul alt.take Precious Three - I need a man - Ref-O-Ree Jay Bee - Praying for an answer - Thunderbolt Bernard Harper - Im not gonna lose it - Action Ozz and the Sperlings - Can You Qualify - Goldenway Doris Smith - No Good Guy - Limelight Harvey and Jokers- Soul sound - Sko-Field Toni Basil - Breakaway - A&M Peter Hamilton - Hey Girl (instru)- Jamie Johnny Maestro and Crests - Im Stepping out of the picture - Specter Bobby Reed - The Time is Right For Love Alan H- Had last spot and kept it going, always get a strong R+B taste when hes on but also get mixed in quality stormers, touch of 70s and down tempo soulful stuff Threw at us loads of highlites, the headturning old wigan spin Isonics- Sugar, that sounded awesome, CSC anthem almost - Im In With The Downtown Crowd,Chick, Chick never sick of hearing that 30 sec chick chick break, and finishing with great ender for the nite - let me down easy, Save me typing as sick of it - check out link for chance to hear last 35 mins of his set, more from nite in pipeline R&B room - Paid it a fair few visits (hence blanks above) and caught Alan H, Pete Coulson, Mark Morgan, Barry J and others in action in the room. with loads of current popular R+B floor fillers being dished out, along with some good quality first hears, dont think ever seen so many excello 45s , Modern room- A few visits and seemed to be doing the business with some bang up to date examples of quality soul, DJs included Colin Curtis & Bary Maleedy etc Spotted a set of bongos up next to decks, didnt see them getting used, though guy was behind them, so still wondering what that was all about? Anyone? Crowd - Crowd wise - was told about 350 in, bit lower than normal but as other quality events such as Wilton and 100 on at weekend must had an effect, plus noticed a bit of a difference in crowd make up compared to last time I went. Dancefloor - Never saw it rampacked but was used through out, and during the early hours when normally a big drop off in numbers there was still plenty of action on a par with last time Overall - Well have said what I thought, all of lot was with, agreed in it being a great nite. Dont get chance much to hear a lot of the Domes spins elsewhere but all sounded just as strong. Future - Well after tonite and also recent Nantwich niter, well seems like things are looking good, have heard so many soul fans recently moan about tired old oldies, lazy "top" djs, well will just say the answer is out there! Hit here to listen to last 35 mins of Alan h who did the finishing hour Hit here to stream or go to soul sounds/live sessions to download Hopefully 3 x more sessions from this nite soon!
