I'm from Doncaster, started collecting in the 70's and went to Wigan once, the Empress Ballroom all-nighters, East Anglia Soul Club 3rd Anniversary at the Fleet. Dropped out for a bit then I got back into the scene through the Southport weekenders. Dropped out again and sold many of the rare records from my collection to get my daughters through school. Now I'm back into collecting and I'm dj'ing in and around Brighton again. Once soul music is within you it never goes away!
