Hi Pete You can see what nights i have in Manchester on my website...www.cooloff.net..If others want to come along and play or just chill with a beer then let me know...Gene R..Brett..and the others on here..quality bunch...

Hi Pete you can have a spot at one of my nights in Manchester..I like to give lots of people the chance to play the stuff they collect...check out my website for details and get back to me...we play soul/funk/ska/reggae/blues/jazz etc...

Room full of tears..It got a play from Mr Smith at the 100 club on Sat and i had to go up on stage to give him a kiss..Had a chance to buy this for 20 quid in the 80s..oooooooooh that tune makes me go weak..Shane heard the tune for the first time on Sat..what a treat for a very very nice man...Does this tune do it for any of you other folk...

I got a cd from my mate at the Greystone soul club last week..Its a session from Carl Willingham when he was the guest there about 2/3 years ago..This includes Teardrops plus many other tunes..Carl Willingham is one of the best around in my book and i'm sure we will all miss him when he sells up next year...Email me and i can sort out a tape/cd...Carl Willingham rare soul...from the Greystone Soul Club,Manchester...A very good rare soul event indeed every month..Next date Sat 21st August...For more details contact Mark B on soul source(its not Mark Bicknell)...

Hi there..I have played tunes out there for God Save The 45 at club Razzmatazz..I also have mates who play soul and Reggae at Sugar bar..Not sure whats on this weekend but email my mate and i think they will help you..email...graeme@godsavethe45.co.uk..also check out is website for details of whats on in Barcelona..website title is also god save the 45...

Can anyone tell me the history behind the tune Teardrops..Soul Inc..who found it..when.how many copies.who apart from Carl Willingham plays it etc..cheers.. Its one of the greatest tunes i have heard in a long time..

Could be very tricky indeed...A lot of people have a different idea of what is up tempo,mid tempo or down tempo..Who is the referee...

To all coming over on Sat..Its gonna be very busy in the warm up..We will set up a table and sort out all the membership cards..I think we are gonna open up both bars,the upstairs bar as an overflow with the music piped up there from the djs downstairs..

Hi Dave All the lads are gonna do 2 half hour sets..Nick Hackett 7pm Gene R 7.30.John Weston 8pm..Then repeat with John playing the last spot..

Membership cards can be picked up from New Century warm up at the Ducie Bridge on Sat from 7pm to 10pm..No tickets on sale for all-niter ...£10 on the door with membership...Djs John Weston..Gene R...Nick Hackett.. Also we have a dj to play in the bar area after all niter with hot drinks..8am to 9am for all people with no homes to go to..We hope that dj Brett will be playing the tunes if he is still alive??? If you need anymore info contact me on mobile...07752084878

Just got an email from my mate in Barcelona..He is asking for Nat Hall.."why"..can you help...Email address.graeme@godsavethe45..cheers...

Is this for real or a cruel joke?????????and i don't mean the lady djs...

Hi Gareth Left you a love letter in the private mail box(email)..Don't tell the mrs..

Wendy..i love you sweetheart..If the tempo drops below 200 mph the mad Irish women thinks its time for bed....I want them all mixed up..fast..slow..midtempo..I can still shake it a bit for a man of my age... Talking about miss Phillips..Home is where the hatred is...Near the top of my list... And what is a pill monkey...

Drop them in anytime soulville for me and my lot...It don't have to be big uptempo stompers anymore with great deep slow enders..I think its getting to the point when a big uptempo number will be the ones to play at the end after lots of real quality deep dark midtempo heaven..oooooooooooooooooh yes please... Betty Moorer..Speed Up Aint no big thing..various artists Barbara Lynn..This is the thanks i get Betty Lavette..Let me down easy Johnny Gillium??...room full of tears Imperial Cs...somebody tell her Shep..I'm sitting in plus a thousand more... best thing to do is mix all these up with great underplayed big stompers and Little Stevie is in heaven..

Nice post Gareth..Is this the Gareth i know and respect from London????And yes teardrops..one of the greatest things to come to my ears...oooooooooh tear drops,falling from my eyes... If a thousand young ones come and have a look at the scene and 3 go on to make it part of their life then its a winner.. Respect...

Good... Music quality is better..You can now choose between jukebox oldies nights and rare soul events.. A good deal of deeper midtempo soul for the dancefloor.. More events than ever..We can now choose to go to the event of choice because there are nights every week... Internet...Its great to talk to like minded people from all over the world... Rebirth..A lot of people have come back onto the scene after years away and not all them want to hear the same old stuff.. 100 club... I still get the same old feeling when i walk through that door.. Bad.. Youth.. The lack of young faces coming through, it seems most of the young crowd who come through are from the mod scene only.Younger crowd for London soul nights only.. I take it upon myself to contact the younger crowd and bring them to soul events.. Politics..It seems that as some people get older they get more bitter and twisted.. Some people out there think they own the scene now and work against each other..I came into this scene to be part of a collective of like minded people but we know money can always get in the way of the heart for some... Speed dating..The media think its only just been invented... Records..Lots of people have come back onto the scene with large amounts of disposable income and will pay anything it seems to get the tune, prices through the roof..How can the younger crowd get really into collecting.. Djs..Too many living on past reputations and no forward thinking at all...thats not what i and my freinds got into the scene for.. Long live the rare soul scene and all who sail with it...

Hi Mike It was only a joke really...point taken...all the best..

This site is for the light hearted side of the soul scene and a thats the way it should stay..Mike can you set up another site for snipers and then we could name and shame people who have been taking money out of all our pockets for years and don't fight fair..Call the site up against the wall because thats the place for them, i would give them the option of a blindfold..Long live love..

Thanks to all for info.a really good bunch of people you are..Yes Matt its the soul of money cd...also got Keiths tape of the show on Jazz fm with mr Searling, very nice indeed with background on Spydells,Imperial Cs,Bobby Reed,JJBarnes etc..If any of you out there want a copy then drop me a line to..stevecato64@yahoo.co.uk..

Cheers Brett If you know where to get one let me know mate..And i will get back to you about the New Century sound check..John Weston and a couple of djs from London at the next warm up..Also Southern soul crowd and the boys from Sweden..should be good..Lets see if you can drink 20 pints and dance all night again...
