Goldsoul

Yep....great days. Show me a photo from 2007 and you'll see about 40-50 in. Sadly times have changed and Northern and Modern are not the best combination at a niter anymore.

Bob- Lovely to hear from you. Nail that guy down. I need him in Florida! PM me or email kev@kevroberts.com

Dave- Found 2 real corkers for Soultrip. Both Females and never ever been found by anyone. Hopefully they stay off the Internet allowing us an exclusive until at least April 6th! Apologies for the Soulboy interuptus!

Paul. I found the producer of Detroit Soul some 33 years ago. He mentioned the group were from Hartford, Ct. A fun song I used to play at the Casino in 74. Do we know anything about it, apart from they are White and Shimmy likes it?

Now there's a thought. I think Florida will generate quite a few artists that are pretty hidden.

George Clooney sounds good, however a probable Shameless cast member might be more fitting! Lol

It's seems as far back as I worked at Wigan since Shimmy Marcus the Director met me in Stoke to discuss the potential of this film. I took him to the Kings Hall and from that moment, the seeds were planted. Several years later Soulboy is almost upon us. I sincerely hope it keeps the movement going for many a year. Kev Roberts

I can assure you, plenty of great surprises. We never give the game away at this early stage. In fact we spoke to one female act only tonight who has one of the biggest tracks ever and hasn't been seen by anyone! That's the kind of thing that makes Soultrip special and, it will be again. Totally unique and always surprising! Get booking.

Good to see Luther Ingram's If Its All The Sane To You Babe and Jimmy Soul Clark's Cmon and Be My Sweet Darlin added to the movie soundtrack. Universal as usual screwed up and had no information on Julian Covey. They eventually took my word for it, in terms of ownership!

Aye...Seconded...with Holly St James not far behind

The public have demanded somewhere nice. Detroit isn't, regardless of it's history. And we were there last year as part of the Chicago trip.

The Kings Hall has increased in numbers over the last year since the Modern room closed. They work reasonably well at Weekenders and up to around 3am. It's just not a good fit at a nighter. Not our personal choice but the general consensus among customers and regular niter attendees.

Guys- Can't understand anyone wanting to boot it. I discovered it in 1981, the year of release. Its a small label from North Carolina. A failed Beach music release.

July 2-4 Whitby Soul Weekender. We have 2 newly allocated stalls available for Non Clothing traders. Vinyl/CD traders welcome. First come, first served. Nov 12-14 Blackpool Tower Weekender- Stalls SOLD OUT. E- sales@goldsoul.co.uk or PM.

Thanks for the push Ally. I have known Gary for an age. He's one of a few who remains fairly modest about his abilities. I will definitely be using him. He's a 'stand up guy' as De Niro would say! As I said before, this exercise is to make me aware of collectors with DJ ability who can offer a different type of entertainment to All Singing All Dancing Weekenders etc. Cheers Ally.

Get Cally to pm me.

I host a Dinner type do on the first Thursday of the month. That particular clientele is looking for Hits and laidback stuff, hence the audience have no interest in whether its on vinyl or not. The Bank Holiday planned event is a different one. I have suggested a full vinyl only freestylin' gig. Liverpool is a cosmopolitan city with no real Northern Soul history(as in there are not 100's of do's there week in week out). Hopefully it opens up a fairly dormant territory.

Good call. I'll get right on it.

Aye...I know what you mean. Thankfully a few really interesting fellas have put themselves forward, so it looks as if the fresh ideas and new venue, might generate interest in one of the UK's legendary city's.

Wanted Collectors and DJ's of all kinds to help with a Vinyl Freestyling session at a prestigious venue in LIVERPOOL. The owners are friends, so I am helping generate interest in the area. This is not a typical Goldsoul gig full of 'bells n whistles', I am looking for enthusiasts to get on stage and give us a 1 hour mix of interesting stuff. We are not looking for Kings Hall floor filling. If you fancy a day out at the Albert Dock and think you could entertain with Northern, Modern, Latin, R&B and any other sub genre that takes your fancy, either PM me or email. The date is; AUGUST 29th(Sunday) 3-11pm. Looking for around 6 spinners. Cheers, Kev

A couple of promos landed on my doorstep and they're pretty good. 1. I had a fight with love- Greta Bondesson 2. Valarie- Marino Valle The latter being a male version of Amy's hit. Real good! www.wime.se I think they are something to do with Sven Zetterburg.
