Colin Curtis joins Deptford Northern Soul Club at YES, Manchester - Influential British DJ Colin Curtis will play on the 13th July alongside Deptford Northern Soul Club and Poppy Turner. Known for his involvement in in the Northern Soul scene and his championing of black music, he's back with a bang!
Colin, who's booked to headline Gilles Peterson’s ‘We Out Here festival’ in Cambridge will return to Manchester where in the 1960’s he first started DJ’ing at the famed ‘Golden Torch’ all-nigh
This event started up in 1995 so it is one of the longest running, same venue Soul nites in the North. I started djing there in 1996 and I haven't missed one month of playing Motown , Soul and Northern Soul to really fantastic appreciative crowds over all of those years. Unfortunately Link4life who manage the Heywood Civic Centre on behalf of Rochdale Council have hiked the room hire price up way beyond an affordable amount. I have therefore had to give them notice that we cannot keep the event

With the 40th anniversary looming, I’ve considered the future of the 6TS all-nighters at the 100 Club. They have run very well (with the usual hiccups) over the last 12 months and I appreciate the two nighters off a year that Matt has run so successfully recently. With advancing years, I do find the whole nighter tiring though, particularly the start, so Matt and I have come up with a solution. I’ll continue to run the anniversary nighters and Xmas parties alone, but after this year’s anniversar

A recent announcement of changes to the long running weekender, a brief grab below from the 6Ts Rhythm and Soul Society Website follows
6ts Weekenders, but not as you know it
6TS Weekenders have been sold to Soul Partners aka Phil Dick and Neil Rushton.
After 25 years of blind panic and last minute fixes, I’ve decided to fully retire from organising the weekender, but will continue to DJ and aim to whoop it up a tad more. Phil and Neil will run everything though I will h
Los Angeles soul man Rudy Love (and his Love Family) has a fascinating story going back to the early 60s and incorporating many great producers and acts along the way. An independent film on his colourful musical life will be shown at the Raindance Music Documentary on Sept 29th, followed by an after-film gig at the 100 Club.
6TS supporter John Smith (aka member roburt) was instrumental in getting the film and gig together and we all have danced to Rudy's 'Suffering Wrath' down those fam

We had the pleasure of Matt Allwright and his crew from the BBC The One Show at our Northern Soul Charity Event last night at the Gardeners Retreat in Stoke. We had a great night with the crew filming our event and interviewing for the programme.
I don't know if many of you know that Matt is passionate with the Soul Scene and televised one 6 years ago which I still actually have on record. They had so much fun they stayed till the end.
We will be televised in 6 to 8 weeks
It is with great regret that we must announce that Darnall Horti’ Soul Club has spun its last record. What began as an experiment, nine and a half years ago, to see if there was a market for rarer and underplayed soul music, led to many, many brilliant nights with a regular, dedicated audience of knowledgeable soul fans.
Those same soul fans have also helped raise many hundreds of pounds for various charities over the years. You have all been so generous.
But all these things have a sh

In April 2015 our very good friend Paul Thrower was diagnosed with MND. This is a particularly random illness which strikes without warning and for no real reason.
