Events - Top Tips For Promoters Using The Event Guide
A recycle of some tips that may help both promoters and members get the best out of the soul source event guide...
1 - use the map feature - eg add event location
by using this your event will then show in members local event listing
eg everyone who has entered their location on soul map will see your event listed in that section if within 50/70 miles of it
2 - use and encourage the use of the rsvp feature
it gives a promoter a list of members who have said will be attended
this info can then be used say if any last minute event news by yourself - it can also be used to inform interested members of your next event via pms, the "friends" feature etc etc
3 - use and encourage the follow event feature
you and members who follow can then be informed when ever anyone has posted a comment instantly
4 - flyer
by adding a flyer as an attachment it will then be randomly shown on main forum pages - front - forum index etc
and provide a link to your event
size/format of image - max size 2mb
jpg - ideal, png and gif acceptable - other formats will not display in random shows
5 - use your signature to give brief subtle details of event and a link to event guide entry
6 - Avoid use of unusual characters in the title - this can affect display of event, comments and flyers elsewhere on site
Improved Contact Soul Source Feature
if you look at the bottom of every page you can see that the footer has been extended
have added a few links that may help navigation of the site
eg should help if you are at the bottom of a page and wish to shoot off somewhere else on site
one of the links is a link to a new feature
its a "contact us" feature which should allow both members and guests to get in touch with soul source quicker
please note that messages only go to myself and nick
so any moderation request/questions etc must go thru the "report " feature not this contact us fgeature
(which can be found on every item of content - forum post, event post, comment, pm, article, profile etc etc
it operates in a ticket style format and so should in theory help assist one area of site (support etc ) that was a bit lacking
Map Location also shows in profiles
After entering your location in the soul map, it will also show in your profile as well
Useful as lets people know where you are from plus may be handy for record deals, dj bookings etc
Northern Soul - The Film - Latest news - March 2012
The Manchester Evening news just featured in its business section an article titled
"The film-maker who wants to strike a note with Northern Soul fans"
Basically after the first read it seems the article informs of a opportunity for investors to play a part in supporting this project via an investment scheme....
The below clip gives a basic idea, but seems may be best to view the rest of the article for the full score...
"Northern Soul will be financed via an Enterprise Investment Scheme set up by Nyman Libson Paul Accountants. Interest in the film is already huge, with massive radio and international coverage, and Constantine believes the investment opportunity is an exciting and lucrative one. "The film will go into production this summer and has a planned cinema release for 2013," says Constantine. "We're in the final stages of financing and need investors. Investors will have the opportunity to visit the set and there are opportunities to participate as supporting cast members on a filming day. Then there's the social events such as gala screenings where they can meet cast members.""
"We've got roughly half the budget to date," she says. "We're looking to raise a further £300,000 and then we, as a company, will issue reports to each shareholder informing them of the film's progress and its financial position."

Also featured on the Northern Soul web site is the news that North West singer Lisa Stansfield will be involved
"Singer Lisa Stansfield is to make a return to the limelight on home turf - starring in a new movie about the Northern Soul scene. Lisa, from Rochdale, shot to fame in the 80s with her worldwide hit All Around The World and she continued to dominate the charts in the 90s. But in recent years she's moved away from the music world and concentrated on acting roles. Now, the 45-year-old is set to star in the new movie about two northern lads whose lives are changed forever by the Northern Soul music scene in the 70s. She will play the mum of one of the lads, while actor Christian McKay will play her husband"
the above clip from the rochdale observer, full article at
http://menmedia.co.u...hern-soul-film-
and also news out that there is now a North West dance school set up as well as the down south one...
"All levels are welcome to join our dance club hosted up North by Brent Howath, and down South by Paul Sadot and Franny Franklin. We currently have 350 members and have attracted participants from as far as Italy, France and Spain."
the full details of all above can be read via the links given and of course the actual northern soul film website, link below...

3 Kent Town Double Header Soul 45s Out Now - March 2012
The full details and clips of the Town releases follow below, and as this month also sees three 45s on the sister imprint "City" quick look at theses will be along shortly
Eddie Whitehead / Mary Saxton
JUST YOUR FOOL
Eddie Whitehead
LOSING CONTROL
Mary Saxton
The master tape to Eddie Whitehead's 'Just Your Fool' was a big bonus for Ace among the Fraternity tapes from Cincinnati. The sheer quality and building rhythm of the music, allied to Eddie's tormented vocals, made it another mega-bucks item. The flip is Mary Saxton's pounding 'Losing Control', a veritable Wigan monster of yore.

NAUGHTY BOY/GET TO STEPPIN'
Jackie Day has been a Kent staple since the very first "For Dancers Only" LP 30 years ago. We were very proud to produce a CD of all her recordings last year and we've chosen two highlights from her career for a 45. 'Naughty Boy' was one of the key records in reviving the Northern Soul scene in the 80s and has remained a £1000+ trophy ever since. 'Get To Steppin'' is another on-the-fours dancer that has only graced a 100 Club anniversary single prior to this release.

The Barrino Brothers
Dave Hamilton continues to influence the rare soul scene. Imaginative DJs have picked up on his rare TCB 45 'Pisces Pace' which brims with jazz, blues and funk but maintains a steady irresistible rhythm that has made it a dancefloor winner in recent years. We've included a similarly funkified gem from Detroit legends the Barrino Brothers which was the third track from their TCB waxing, not released until the third of Kent's Dave Hamilton CDs.

Soul Survivors and The New Wave - Farmer Carl Dene Returns at Newhampton
He will be guest DJ at the booming Newhampton Soul Club (a sampler of what has been offer at the club can be found here at the Newhampton Arts Centre, Dunkley Street, Whitmore Reans, Wolverhampton, on Friday May 11, 2012.
Carl (aka Carl Woodroffe - here being interviewed in 1999 by Bill Brewster - http://www.djhistory.com/interviews/farmer-carl-dene) - DJ'd at the The Catacombs, Temple Street, Wolverhampton, (represented here in a computer-generated walk through by the city's Central Youth Theatre), from the 1960s.
He had collected rare soul records since 1964 and helped to promote music charts success for Tami Lynn's I'm Gonna Run Away From You that reached No4 in the charts.
His championing of The Tams Hey Girl Don't Bother Me helped see it to No.1.
Tickets to see Carl's return at the regular monthly Northern Soul club with the club's regular DJ Colin Tolley are £5 and cost £5. Advanced booking is recommended with the arts centre on 01902 572090.
Farmer Carl down the pub (The Shakespeare, Lower Temple Street, Birmingham) with fellow veteran DJ Neil Rushton) February 2012.
Its always good to talk to people with a real passion for what they do and these veteran DJs are the business - and the best of mates despite Carl being an Aston Villa fan and Neil totally Birmingham City.
Carl, non-DJ name Carl Woodroffe, who now lives in Aldridge, Walsall, started out at Le Metro Club in his native Birmingham from early 1965 to 1968.
His route to soul was via clubbing at the The Twisted Wheel, then in Brazenose Street, Manchester, before its move to Whitworth Street, at the Whiskey-A-Go-Go in Birmingham, then the Mojo in Sheffield.
He also spun sounds at Chateau Impney, Droitwich, Worcestershire, from mid 1968 until closure of the 4-7 club (Sunday afternoons) at the end of 1969; Dudley Jazz Club (at The Gladstone Liberal Club) 1969-1970; The Queen Mary Ballroom, Dudley Zoo, from October 1970 to mid 1971 and 1973; The Catacombs, December 1968 to April 1969 and January-June 1973; The George Hotel, Walsall, 1969-1971; The 76 Club, Burton upon Trent 1972-1974.
He wasn't wearing the hat which earned him the first part of his DJ 'tag' - the Dene bit he thought was more pop star - but was still "Looking forward to looking back."
Neil, also originally from Birmingham but now living in Burntwood, Staffordshire, move to Walsall with his family when he was 10 and it was in Walsall, Dudley and Wolverhampton that he got his exposure to soul music.
Carl also introduced The Sharpees' Tired of Being Lonely, Gene Chandler and Barbara Acklin's From The Teacher to The Preacher and Doris Troy's I'll Do Anything.
In the book Last Night a DJ Saved My Life by Bill Brewster and Frank Broughton, DJ Ian Levine is quoted as saying"Farmer Carl was the one they all thought of as a God."
Talking records Carl said: "From 1967 people would pay £5 - a lot of money then - for a record but then it went to £100.
"That was Baby Reconsider by Leon Haywood and that was 'broken' by me."
Other records 'broken' - it means introduced, not smashed up - by Carl included Darkest Days by Jackie Lee, Hey Girl Don't Bother Me by The Tams (a UK No1 in 1971) and I'm Gonna Run Away From You by Tami Lynn (UK No 4 in 1971).
Was it all reverence for records? Carl said: "Actually when you were working as a DJ you were getting through all these rare and wonderful records then simply flinging them in the record box, not in their sleeves, as you moved on to the next one, and they would rub together causing damage.
"As well as not putting them in their sleeves other damage was caused as they would be marked by the stylus. They got rough treatment. They were just your property and you didn't think that in 30 or 40 years time they would be worth 500 or 2,500 times more than you paid for them.
Neil, who also specialised in searching for and importing records from the US, said: "You can't find records just lying around out there any more."
Carl: "They are certainly selling for big money on specialist websites but the real collectors can also look after them and keep them properly."
Neil: "We came after you and records were real objects of desire then."
Although the soul scene was welcoming competition between DJs could be fierce.
Carl: "If you had a rare record or had found a new one no-one else was playing you would cover-up. You would cut out the centre of an unused record and stick it over the label of the record you were actually playing. That was if anyone looked at the record it would have a different title and different artist on its label to what you were playing.
"There was also bootlegging and other kinds of rip-offs going on."
Carl, talking of the Northern Soul revival, said: "People are getting back to their roots. They are getting towards retirement and they are keeping the sound alive. There are also a fair number of younger people who see it as something different to what is on the radio or TV."
Neil: "There are a few young DJs and people doing R and B, rarities - a broad church really."
Carl: "It keeping traditions going. Colin Tolley (resident DJ at the Newhampton Soul Club, at the Newhampton Arts Centre, Dunkley Street, Whitmore Reans, Wolverhampton) says lots of Mods are also getting involved in the scene.
"There always was a mod scene that tended to keep seperate but perhaps they are coming back together."
Looking back Neil says: "I don't understand why it was so attractive to white kids here. I was astonished that tens of thousands would be besotted.
"A lot this music in America was being blanked by the radio stations and mainstream. However, small groups of people could get together, make a record and release it there - sometimes in only 500 units. That wasn't happening over here."
Carl: "In the 60s rhythm and soul music appealed - and they weren't big stars. I like them for not being big names. It was also very different.
"I put it down to being something special and something to really enjoy. However, I got married in 1971. You get to an age where you settle down but in this case it lasted three months.
"I got back at the Lafayette Club in Wolverhampton but didn't view all that much of a future in the clubs and got back to the scene in 72-76 but then started doing discos and lost close touch with what was going on. I was also getting into a career (as an insurance broker).
"At Chateau Impney you got paid £3 but spent £10 on records."
Neil: "Back then I would have 8,000 records stacked in my bedroom in this Walsall council house and I would DJ in Walsall and stand in for Carl."
Carl: "Northern Soul was never tribal. It was very welcoming and still is.
"After the 70s it was weddings and parties until I became aware of the revival in the late 90s." He pinpointed Blackburn, Lancashire, in 1999 as the moment when the boxed BHS set The Strange World of Northern Soul was launched there and he also met DJs Brian Phillips and Rob Bellars from the Twisted Wheel, and Ian Levine and Neil Rushton for the first time in decades.
That was after 24 years of doing bookings which included some soul and pop soul sessions at The Strathallen Hotel on the Hagley Road in Birmingham.
Now he will be back in Wolverhampton - home of The Catacombs - and back behind the decks on Friday May 11.
Information below is taken from the excellent Hinckley Soul Club website
The Catacombs Club
Location: Temple Street, Wolverhampton
Date: 1967 - 1974
The Catacombs was an upstairs venue, based in an old lead smelting works. It was a long, narrow venue, based around a long, bare-brick walled corridor, with arched alcoves where the furnaces used to be and a bar on the right, and the dance floor at the far end. It had a capacity of 500-600 and ran initially from 8-12, allnighters being introduced in the early seventies.
The significance of the Catacombs in the history of Northern Soul cannot be understated. It was the policy of the Catacombs to discover and popularise unknown soul rarities, and if it were not for the hours that it opened, it could have easily have surpassed the Twisted Wheel as the premier venue of the early 70s. As it was, the Catacombs discovered the sounds and the Wheel and the Torch exposed them to the masses. And as if to have the final say, the Catacombs outlasted both the Wheel and the Torch, finally closing in July 1974.
The venue started playing rare soul in 1967, and the DJ at the time was Alan S (Smith) who was relatively new to the scene. He was joined by "Farmer" Carl Dene (Carl Woodroffe). Farmer Carl had been a collector of rare soul since 1964, regularly visiting the soul haven of the time, The Diskery, on a regular basis; he was also credited as one of the first people to cover-up records. Farmer Carl was responsible for breaking many famous classics, one of note being "That Beating Rhythm" by Richard Temple. Nobody believed the record existed, assuming it to be a cover-up, due to the "Temple" link with the Temple Street venue. As well as "I'll Do Anything" by Doris Troy, perhaps Farmer Carl's biggest claim to fame is his ability to promote chart sucess. His exposure of "I'm Gonna Run Away From You" by Tami Lynn caused the record to be re-released, and it reached No.4 in the UK in May, 1971. And it didn't stop there... "Hey Girl Don't Bother Me", by the Tams was another record championed by Farmer Carl, which was picked up on by Peter Powell, the Radio One DJ, who brought it onto the radio. It eventually reached Number 1.
When Farmer Carl left the Catacombs, Alan S was joined by "Major" Robert Crocker, and together they formulated a very sucessful partnership, travelling far and wide to locate new sounds. Together they opened a record shop, and one day, on the way to Leicester to purchase new stock, the pair were involved in a car accident, and Bob Crocker was sadly killed. Alan S was confined to hospital for 3 months.
While Alan recuperated, Mick "Froggy" Taylor took over, as was soon joined by "Blue" Max Millward and Graham Warr. The club prospered, closing briefly in 1972 for refurbishment, but continuing on it's mission to discover bigger and better sounds. Consider the following list of records that are credited by various sources as having been launched at the Catacombs:
Swoop Down On You - Lorenzo Manley
Darkest Days - Jackie Lee
Blowing My Mind To Pieces - Bob Relf
Unsatisfied - Lou Johnson
Picture Me Gone - Evie Sands
Temptation Walk - Jackie Lee
Ski-ing In The Snow - The Invitations
Walk Like A Man - Johnny Moore
Gonna Be A Big Thing - The Yum Yums
It Ain't Necessary - Mamie Galore
I Got Something Good - Sam and Kitty
I'm Comun' Home In The Mornun' - Lou Pride
Panic - Reparata and the Delrons
It's always best to have a venue described by someone who was there. Here are some great memories from Graham "Mif" Smith from Wolverhampton:
I still have my last Pink membership card 1973-1974. It's dated July 1973 and I was member number 89. What a place this was, the bare walls of the corridors would become wet with the condensation as everyone packed in to enjoy Blue Max and Pep's latest 'finds'. I remember placing my new cassette tape recorder in the dance floor area to tape all the sounds. Still got those tapes too, you can hear the atmosphere. I would visit the Torch too, a much bigger venue, so for me it never held the same 'feelings' as the Cats. What I remember most was the rush for the floor when one of the 'tunes' of the day were played; "Ski-ing In The Snow". "Blowing My Mind To Pieces". Such brilliant tunes. Well, I have just had birthday number 50, but get that Northern Soul on the decks and I will dance yer pants off (much to the embarrassment of my kids). Wifey and I still visit NS clubs in our area but nothing, nothing can come anywhere near those Cats days.
In 1973, Alan S left the Catacombs, to be replaced by Ian "Pep" Pereira, and Alan Day joined the team briefly. Once the Torch closed, the Catacombs reigned supreme, until the impact of Wigan Casino was felt. In 1974, the Catacombs closed due to the redevelopment of the premises, going out with a bang with the hottest allnighter on record, with an attendance of over twice the legal fire limit!

Soul Junction - Hopkins Brothers 45 Out Now
The latest release from Soul Junction, press info follows below, you can read a more in depth look at the Hopkins brothers along with other artist bios via the Soul Junction website (link at end)
available now at all the regular sources
The Hopkins Brothers
Side A - Shake Cheri
Side B - Kiss of Fire
The Hopkins Brothers "Shake Cheri" can lay claim to be one of the most current in demand 45's within the UK and European Funk and Northern Soul scenes. With only a handful of DJ's being able to boast of ownership of a copy.
The Hopkins Brothers, Frank, Sylvester and the late Arthur (aka Count Hopkins) were part of a larger performing family dynasty from New Haven, Conneticut which began in the doo-wop era of the 1950's and early 60's. The brothers and at one point their father Lyman Hopkins Sr featured in the line up of two of New Haven's most notable R'n'b vocal groups the Chestnuts and the Scarlets who later became known as Fred Parris & the Five Satins.
Following the break up of the aforementioned groups during the early 60's brothers Frank, Sylvester and Arthur formed the family group known as the Hopkins Bros.
As the Hopkins Bros they recorded the solitary vanity release "Kiss Of Fire/Shake Cheri" in February 1970 which was released on the local custom Magnetik label. Although a popular record in the New Haven area it never gained any greater national attention.
The official A-side "Kiss Of Fire" later became a popular collector's item with Sweet Soul aficionado's but it is the more quirky flip side "Shake Cheri" that is currently more popular with Northern and Funk fans throughout the UK and Europe at this moment.
For this current release we have promoted "Shake Cheri" to the A-side with the B-side now featuring the original previously unissued full length version of "Kiss Of Fire" which we found upon receipt of the original master tapes.

Jimmy Ellis (Trammps) R.i.p.
Jimmy Ellis of the Trammps passed away in March.

ROCK HILL James T. "Jimmy" Ellis - who grew up in a shotgun shack on Pond Street in Rock Hill's Crawford Road neighborhood - died Thursday. He was 74...
...Jimmy Ellis, the oldest of six children whose father died when he was just a kid, got his start singing where all black kids did in those days - in church. He and brother Johnny and two other guys sang at dances at St. Mary Catholic Church and other places around Rock Hill and won every talent show in town as the "Four Knights."
Ellis formed a band called The Exceptions, then The Trammps in the late 1960s - both based in Philadelphia.
"They toured with James Brown; they were all over the place," said Johnny Ellis.
And all the while, when not on tour, Jimmy Ellis worked in a meat-packing plant or at a hospital or in a Navy supply depot to make extra money for his wife and two children, Erika and Jimmy II.
"It was nothing for my father to finish a tour and to stay busy, work two jobs," his daughter Erika said. "He was always humble. Just a country boy singing music."

Going Back - Memories of a Soul Boy - New Book
To all Northern Soul/Wigan Casino fans:
About 20 years ago I attempted to write a short book
It could have been the first out there-but is wasnt!
Now my mate Stuart Raith has helped finally get it to print
It is more about my personal passage on the scene and short stories - rather than records and facts
I have only self published as yet so you can only get them direct from me at the moment as detailed below:
If you want a copy please send a cheque payable to B Waterhouse for £15.00 (£13.00 + £2.00 p+p )
post to :
B Waterhouse
26 Riverlea Gardens , Clitheroe, Lancashire, BB7 1QQ
DONT FORGET TO PUT YOUR ADDRESS in with the cheque- THANKS
Or you can pay by paypal if you prefer @ £15.50-you just need this email address bwaterhouse@tiscali.co.uk
Please allow one week for postage-
Thanks again and hope you enjoy the book

Joint Campaign to save the Twisted Wheel - Legends Club - Petition
Your support would be invaluable for this campaign. There are currently 2,409 signatures on that campaign, but it's just not enough to convince the council and it's planners, we need to raise the profile and I couldn't think of a better way than for Soul Source to join in the promotion of the campaign.
Here is the petition site:

Thank You for your consideration and really hope you can help,
Best Regards

Greatstone Soul Club Has Finished
it is with a heavy heart that i have to let you know that after 13 years in it's present format the Greatstone Soul club has finished, the longest running soul night (in same venue) is finished due to a few things but primarily low attendances. I am very proud of what we achieved over the years, Myself,Tony Jackson, Budgie, Paul Havekin and not forgetting our best ever Resident Mr Stevie Z, as a club we brought many tunes to the fore, and had many guest Dj's both big names and fellow collectors as was the club's ethos to give collectors a place to play their prized tunes. i hope you all have some great memories of the nights we held i know we do. We have not decided what to do yet but will keep you informed, as a group of collectors we have so much music that it is a shame to let it just go away. see you all soon around and about Mark Baildon, Tony Jackson, Paul Havekin,and Budgie. Long live the Greatstone Soul Club

Thailand Weekender - Pattaya Soul Weekender -Nov 2012
After several years extensive travel through South East Asia, myself and Guy Hennigan have decided what the area really lacks despite the rich culture , landscape vistas, beaches, bars and salacious night life is a "Right Good Soul Weekender".
To date we have sourced an excellent dance venue in the city of Pattaya a resort destination south of Bangkok and are currently working with local hoteliers and flight companies to offer an all inclusive package.
Occurring between 7th and 14th November 2012, the format will be World Class DJs doing what we all love best over 3 nights (9/10/11 November) leaving ample time for various other activities, in this unique setting.
There is a large ex pat community here and a recent charity soul nite saw some 180 attendees.
An overwhelmingly positive response following dialogue with DJs, fellow promoters and soul devotees, seems certain that this will be one of the major happenings this year and we expect a rapid take up once the package is finalized.
We are very interested in what the community has to say........................

SouL Discography Volume Two G-M
It has been some time since I first posted details of Bob McGrath's new publication Soul Discography Volume One. Well I am pleased to say Bob has been in touch and Volume Two is now available. This Volume with 675 fact filled pages covers Artists G through to M.
A sample selection of pages can be viewed in the following PDF document....
SD1 sample pages.pdf
These are an invaluable addition to any collectors book case and sit very nicely and complement the now sold out R&B Indies.
The whole project has been a massive undertaking and has taken years of research but as you would expect there will almost certainly be errors and omissions. Many of the labels have been defunct for decades in some cases and many releases are extremely rare and tracking down some of the information can be next to impossible.
The first two Volumes of Soul Discography can be order at the following link: ORDER VOL 1 & 2 NOW

SunceBeat 2 - Souldynamic Movie Diary
a quick grab of some plays from the last one
1. Jackson 5 - It's Great To Be Here
Played by Martin Lodge.
Martin's afternoon set on the terrace was a blessing; his soulful selections nursing many disco casualties back to health.
2. Earth, Wind & Fire - Beijo (Brazilian Rhyme)
Played by Ronnie Herel.
Every one of Ronnie's sets caused a buzz throughout the festival site - he teased a quiet main stage to capacity before Quentin Harris' headline slot, he rocked the final boat with Kev Beadle in a back-to-back special, and he closed the festival beautifully in Barbarella's with a timely selection of well chosen classics. Ronnie is a pleasure to be around, his humbleness and warmth lighting up every gem in his box.
3. Earth, Wind & Fire - Runnin'
Played by Ashley Beedle.
In a moment of dance floor magic, Ashley diverted Barbarella's from its dominant house beat with Danny Krivit's subtle retouch of this Earth, Wind & Fire classic.
4. Red Astaire - Follow Me
Played by Gavin Kendrick.
I dropped this Latin rework of 'Left & Right' a couple of times over the weekend, and it was always met with a glowing response. (I'm listening to a news snippet on Ronnie Herel's blog as I type, and apparently D'Angelo's third album is finally on the way!)
5. Blundetto feat. Shawn Lee - Nautilus
Played by Dean 'Sunshine' Smith.
One of my favourite sets of the week was spinning back-to-back with Garden resident Dean 'Sunshine' Smith on Thursday evening. From a handful of movers digging classic hip hop from Guru, Jaylib and Jeru, to a capacity dance floor embracing all the jazz-funk, house and garage we dropped, it was a gig I'll never forget. In the aftermath of the week's hedonism, Dean brought us back to reality with his well-honed sun-kissed terrace set. These comedown sessions were so well received last year, Dean was invited to join the SuncÃÆ’©Beat residents for our second adventure, and his tunes this year were as deep and dependable as ever.

Jordie and David Kilby have long been fascinated with the diversity of what was released on vinyl recordings over the years. As a consequence, they have assiduously collected an appreciable number of discs that fellow browsers in charity and bric-a-brac shops ignore....mostly for very good reasons!
The Australian section of these form the major component of a series of podcast that the two have put together called Rarecollections. A pun that implies a combination of relative scarcity with a sense of looking back (it's all in the pronounciation!)

The Flamingo Club in Wardour Street
If the london in the 60s aspect of this article was of interest then you may be interested to know that Del's passed on words that a Flamingo Club related article can be found on the " Nickel In The Machine" Website which is titled
"The Flamingo Club in Wardour Street and the fight between Johnny Edgecombe and 'Lucky' Gordon"
Dels says she found it "fascinating reading" as it expands on part of her article which featured the club including Georgie Fames involvement and together with photos and words brings up the Profumo affair connections

Control Freaks UK - Won't Look Back - Release
The group's latest single features the immense vocal talents of Nicole Lawrence, who stole the heart of the nation when she fulfilled her dad's dying wish and performed on the X Factor back in 2009. Nicole received glowing praise from Cheryl Cole, Dannii Minogue and Louis Walsh to make it through to the boot camp stage of the competition, and following her exit from the show the 33 year old former care assistant went on to forge a successful musical career, having found herself in constant demand for PAs across the UK and Europe.
'Won't Look Back' came to fruition following a chance meeting between Nicole, James and Barry in their home town of Peterborough, and the pair soon invited Nicole to join them in the studio. The track's masterfully snappy, up-tempo beat is a perfect match for Nicole's soulful vocals, bringing the song to life whilst reviving those wonderful memories of a more soulful era of music. Heavily influenced by the revivalist movement currently enjoying a comeback, 'Won't Look Back' was written and produced entirely by CF-UK, highlighting the incredible talent and ear for melody which the pair possess.
The stunning debut single 'Won't Look Back' is released 22nd February.
