Dekka

A proper Modern Soul Room playing proper Modern Soul, the reason I say that is because over the last few years I've heard some shite played in modern soul rooms, why oh why do these fookin idiot so called DJ's think they are playing at, infact thats exactly what they are doing, fookin playing at it, I hope everyone reads this playlist, takes me back to a time many years ago when this music made even me stand up and listen. Well done Mark R

Cheers Mark

Hi Mark You originally said it was never released, so does the unique issue make it the original issue?, just asking as I would sell my unique issue if the poster wanted to make me an offer cheers dekka

Hi Mate We held the events at Haven in the Vale in-between Grantham and Nottingham, although these were quite successful we pulled out cos they were charging too much for the room. We looked around for another venue but nothing suitable was found. cheers

Hi mate, glad you liked it, actually only 3 are recentish purchases all the others I have played out at either 'Dogs Bollocks' events near Belvoir castle some years ago or early Roots Room events last year, must admit was nice to play them out again cheers dekka

I would personally like to thank all the DJ's and people who have attended the Roots Room this last year. Everyone contributing their time and money to help this noble cause. With the Roots Room myself and Andy Bellwood feel we are honouring the Mod scene by keeping to it's true ethos of original vinyl, original Mod DJ's and the Mod tunes from the last 30 - 40 years, alongside these DJ's there are those of us who are a little late to the party but nevertheless are now at the party. Hope to see you all July 23rd at Harrogate for what will truly be a Mod Special atb dekka

Thankyou Sammy, it's always a worry playing to a non Mod crowd so to speak and I don't mean that disrespectfully, tried to tone things down a little and keep it quite soulfull but having said that I had to keep it Mod and play the variety, I must say though I loved playing the british at the end and I thank everyone for dancing and appreciating what I tried to do, atb dekka

Weekend just gone I travelled 240 miles round trip, weekend prior to this one I travelled 180 miles round trip, some great events out there and no they don't have to be allnighters, obviously you only travel to ones that will float your boat, point is, people like myself still travel cos it's the only way you can hear different sounds played by different DJ's, instead of the tired old faces with their tired old tunes

Surely the apathetic are the handbaggers and bootleggers, so why on earth would you not want to travel, why on earth would you not want to hear new sounds and see different people play their various takes on black American music, the apathy astounds me
