Back in October 2016, Tadcaster’s Dale Byers (record collector, Northern Soul promoter and dj) popped into the Hospedia studio as guest presenter on ‘Andy Bellwood’s A Cellar Full of Soul’. The upshot being a fabulous choice of original vinyl from Dale’s collection and simply two hours wasn’t enough. The solution, to invite Dale back and here’s just some of the tracks Dale played on his return, including the old Seven Soul c/u and his unreleased Carole Moore acetate only – one of only two in existence I understand.
