Still getting word back on the last one, seems defintely hit the spot No apoligies for below, just passing it on as made our day! Quote had last nite on the November one was "Can honestly say that since early 70s have never had such a nite of hearing so many quality and fresh soul sounds in just one place in one nite!!" (Avoid embarrasment have left guys name out, any cynics just email us and will send email of the person) Well gotta say full credit to all the last event djs Rob Thomas, Carl
Funny, dont know if Yorkshire was in some sort of time warp but heard a few thought Halifax and Sheridans was on this weekend, while regular followers of soul source event guide will know score on Halifax at least. Both on next week Very big buzz on Keele niter next week, seems word is that this revitalised venue is a must get to. Know went to the last one before it closed and the first one after it re-opened and the difference was massive - a complete different event to me. Was a 3 hour period

The whole nightmare started at 5:30, we had just loaded up the cars with all the gear (sound system, decks, lights, records etc.) and were about to set off to Euston when I get a call from Oonagh (who runs the venue) saying that theres an eighteen birthday party booked in for that night and not us!!!

Know Johnny tried many means to spread the word including posting info in event guide, using internet discussion list and all that and said was going to stand at enterance and explain.
Fellow soul enthusiasts,
Unfortunately our special guest DJ for the christmas C.S.C. at The Dome bash on Friday 13th December, Mr.Ginger Taylor, has had to pull out due to personal reasons...so Ginger wont be there as advertised on the posters/adverts...BUT...as a worthy replacement a young hopeful by the name
of Mr.Adrian Croasdell (of old Market Harboro Town), has stepped forward clutching a plastic carrier bag full of discsnacetates and will now cover for him....hurrah!
The North Herts Family are pleased to announce that the Soulgate Mob are having a Goodfellas Night on New Years Eve at the White Hart, Chase Road, Southgate N14 (thats right opposite the Asda store, 5 mins straight walk from the tube) and all for a mere £5 OTD.
Randy C. is joined by Ady Croasdale, Tony Smith and that broad from up town, Karen Bedford for a night of Motown starters then NEW YORK tunes all the way with 50s&60s SOUL, DOO WOP & MOB favourites. Nice dancefloor&bar a
