Yet again we publish some news that we think will be of interest to soul fans, in this case the sacking of a dj.
Yet again we have hysteric reaction from a certain person and his followers claiming conspiracies, campaigns, false postings and so on
All we do is try and let you know whats happening, and that is what we will continue to do, the attempts by others to influence this site with their threats will just give us more determination
Seems like Levine has been given the Heave Ho from the Ritz and Togetherness

"Well seems after initial reports a fuller picture is now quickly emerging -
he has indeed been sacked from the Ritz line up and also will not be asked back onto Jazz FM - but is still on at Togetherness.

More news: threats against "a former friend", planning a new event in North West, £1000 rewards, etc etc

...sheer hell. First time quite funny listening to a certain persons claims, but that very quickly wore off as they continued repeating them through the show.
Well todays show was a good one. Richard Searlings show featured the crew from Londons biggest little soul club These Old Shoes. The radio stars were Jo Wallace, Paul Thomas Peter and Martin Thomason. And what a great show they gave us, a classy varied mix of some great soul tunes, covering all aspects and styles. With worthwhile background info and a fai few laughs.
Of course Jo W was very retiring and in the background for the m... in your dreams! Reckon by the end of the show she had reo

i really liked your site and would love to talk to you about the Northern scene. Were making a series for Channel 4 about UK soul and one of the programmes is focused on Northern Soul in the 70s and the its heyday at the Wigan Casino.

Legendary Soul singer, Betty Everett, passed away in her home in Beloit Wisconsin over the weekend. Her body was found by her family on Sunday.
Cause of death has yet to be determined.
Born in Greenwood Mississippi on November 23, 1939, Betty Everett is remembered primarily for one huge hit in the 60s, but she was also one of the very best soul singers and actually recorded many songs.
