Soul Up North Oct 2006 Review
As usual the 'fans fanzine' is packed with record reviews, interviews, events stuff, CD release's and a whole host of every thing else to do with soul. The October 2006 issue features as usual on the opening pages 'Good Tunes Great Grooves' from Dave Halsall with the likes of The Gems on Riverside, Carol Jones on Mutt which is one I've picked up myself recently, The Four Tees on Vee-Jay amongst others as always alittle background on each disc and values.
You've got part 2 of the Jimmy Raye interview with a great pic of him accepting the Key to the city of Niagra from Mayor O'Laughlin. Howard give us some vinyl hot of the presses with the latest offerings from grapevine and Timmion.
One article that did stand out for me was the A-Z of soul from Steve Copeman giving us a B for this issue with lables like Bright Star, Baby luv, Blue Rock, one of my fav labels Big Top! don't you just think the white demos are gorgeous? Bullet and Big Smokey, each record gets a review with scans. I've picked out Othello Robertson as an example and its one that I've been playing too, but unfortunately not on the baby luv label.
Baby Luv - Othello Robertson - So in luv
As soon as the stylus hit's the wax and the music hits you in the sensory sections - you knowthis is THE BUSINESS. The backing track has everything for today's discerning (60's rare soul dancer or listener).you'll have to buy the mag to see the rest 😛
Our own toodarnsoulful (Liam Quinn) from these pages presents us with a in-depth interview with Larry (mo) Jackson, one question that was put forward to him with a little snippet of the answer was. what was it like as an up and coming group living in America and trying to break into musical stardom, at a time of civil rights movements ect. "Like Charles Dickens would say - Its was the best of times, it was the worst of times".
Shane Cox gives us his wonderful Chicago Soul, properly my favourite city for producing soul music..shock horror above Detroit I hear you muttering! With reviews of Chuck Bernard on New Breed and Johnny Moore on Bright Star, also as an added extra you've got a Chicago special from Shane that features the excellent Syl Johnson who was over earlier in the year performing live at Lowton I think? with complete discography and background on his efforts of giving us many a good record if you aint got one in your collection you cant go wrong with 'I've got to get over'.
More record reviews for the funk crowd, Mark Hansons reviews, early soul & R&B from Craig Butler and of course Ted & Linda's excellent R 'n' B scene, with the likes of The Demons, Connie Questell and Luther Thomas (always wondered how long that would take to get the attention it deserves from the r&b crowd)
Chalkys La-beat CD review is a great read and can be found in the articles section of this very site, Sean O'Connor's Modern happenings in the north west, and news and grooves from the modern side with Mark Randle
More Interviews with Pat Powdrill, spanning three pages, with background info, and complete solo discography, the latest CD's from Kent, Ace, Soul brother and grapevine get a quick once over from Howard, and finally Mike Finbrow give's the deep collectors some soulful words and reviews to get their teeth stuck into.
All in all a mighty fine read, go and grab your self a copy.later my fellow soul fans, need a beer after writing that lot!
If you want to contact howard to get a copy.

Another Northern Soul related thing - Theatre Time - York
does say shown before and do have a faint memory of reading something round then.
However if do have more info or news feel free to add using the comments feature (link above)
Here's a clip form the website this is york
have to laugh dont cha?
can read full article via link below

Soul Source - Up and at em
After posting last week an "almost sorted" post...
no prizes for guessing that something had to happen, this time it was the main hard disk on server it went down at a bad time, causing all sorts of grief and hassle.
And so a week later; after doing again a lot of what did week before am back here again tempting fate by posting "sorted" style posts.
News is finally at a place where can say have got over the hassle and site and server is back on the road and 99% solid.
site:
the hassle has meant that everything has had a sort out and so far seems to be running smooth and solid
due to this has been a fair bit of news
most can be found in the site section of forum
but have done a quick summary below
forums:
intro section now more prominent
if having problems with any part of site please check site section
mods:
changes on the mods team
farewell to Mandy and Dan who have both stood down due to real world kicking in
four new mods be shouted up tonight
still hunting high and low for another freebasing one
members:
approx 6000+ members since 2003
have just had a series of clear outs and kept only accounts that have logged in since Jan 01st 2006
so now current members - 2400+ "active" members
while 6000+ may be more impressive to some, using a "active" only should be better for members/site
all new members now get pm'd a welcome and are asked to post a intro
still get people trying to use joke accounts for posting, sorry but those days are gone
terms of use/action by site
what the site is run on, all agree to follow them
vast vast majority do respect them, site hasn't time running around after people who don't
normally action goes like this
warnings, suspension, closure
no wish to do such, so ask all to follow them
can be found at foot of every page
backroom
see the site q and a bit if wanna know about what some ****s think is some sort of big "secret"
"wise up" is a term that springs to mind
photos:
members photo albums are now all back up less 3 recent onesthat were lost during hassle
flyers:
flyer gallery - sorted and uptodate
note all flyers posted before june 2006 have been moved to past flyers
as there were some that wasn't sure if were still valid/uptodate
from now once any flyer is over 3 months old it will be moved
and so will need reposting
that way while a bit of a pain for early ones, it should ensure that all flyers are more valid and so flyer gallery more worthwhile
sounds:
up and at them
the built in forum player will be replaced shortly by a pop up player,
this is so that can navigate away from the article and the counter will also reflect a true count
still work in progress more improvements to follow shortly
news/articles
still trying to find best solution for the 1000s of articles on site
changes here in the very near future
banners
do get many requests for banners for charity events
due to this a better policy for such charity events will be annouced shortly
that's all for now, hopefully the last two/three weeks will now just fade away and I can get to the travel agents...

Soul Source - Trouble At The Disco
Thought that push out a few words so if have been wondering just why the sites has been up and down or where the sounds have gone then at least if do happen to stumble on these words will hopefully have a better idea.
First though, just like to pass on thanks to all those who posted both on site and by email/pm/face thoughts concerning my post regarding standing down a week or so ago.
Did make me look at my decision again, and while events afterwards has meant that my plan to step back fell apart from day one, the comments did bring the postive things about site to front.
Of course after, having a good think, some reflection and a bit of decision making, the site itself did its usual thing...
... when ever feel an urge to post an onwards and upwards sort of post sure the site takes it as a challenge to throw something at me and mess things up
It cetainly did it this time, an attack by hackers on server, led to a few days of background work, after the usual chase around was thinking have solved closed and cleaned up things and can get on with things.
Of course once thought this and began to get back to the usual stuff, noticed another hack which was done in such a way, that the only thing to do was completely reload everything and start again.
Cut it short, this then ended up taking more than a week to do, and while not out of the woods completely, the worse bits are sorted and hopefully come monday be ready for the next thing.
Of course these going ons punched a big hole in my "step back" plans.
But on the postive side, rebuild etc should have benefits all round on site both up front and in the background. And as now back in postion where can move on with plans made, then things are now back on track
As said thanks to all who passed on views, words, suggestions etc and many thanks to all the mods who to be honest if it wasnt for them the site would be no where near what it is today
best foot and all that

Wigan Casino May 1980 Review
From Blackbeat Issue 4
Wigan Casino May 1980 Review
My first visit to Wigan for over a year (it costs over 25 on the train for us). Firstly we sussed MP Cyril Smith on the train scoffing sandwiches (is this the Liberals solution to the problem of the EEC food mountains I ask?). By the time we reached Warrington I realized that things ain't what they used to be. In the old days we would have seen about 50 folk board the train complete with baggie trousers, bags covered in patches etc. Today however the soulies wear conventional clothes, just the same as you would see anywhere in the south. This was to be borne out by the fact that in the Casino itself there were only about three people in baggies. Most were wearing jeans, some straight, some zoots.
The next surprise was to be getting in. In the old days it was tightly packed pushing for about an hour and murder. The Casino still opens at 12.30, and there are still two doors open. However the attendance has dropped somewhat and that makes the getting in very easy it took me about five minutes.
They say things don't change and the Casino's atmosphere certainly doesn't. Of course Russ Winstanley was the first spinner. Russ seemed to be playing several pop cover versions of Motown numbers. Worse though was an instrumental of "Sweet talking guy". Unfortunately he played a couple of sounds that resembled Helen Shapiro. I thought we had got over all of that.
One of the most popular stompers for Russ was The Seeds "Pushing too hard" released in this country on Vocallion; it is a rock collectors classic and as such not fit for Wigan. With the upsurge in popularity for 70's dancers, Russ had to play some as well. Included in his spot were The O'Jays "I love music", Isaac Hayes "Disco Connection" and 21st Creation's "Tailgate" a sound I remember Colin Curtis playing back in 1977. "Disco Connection" is a monster at the Casino now. Also big for him were Barnaby Bye, and Johnny Williams "You're something kind of mellow", a Levine sound of a couple of years ago.
At 2.15 Richard Searling took over and the music changed to rare soul. Kick off sound was Frankie Karl and the Chevrons, a very popular record from the 60's, followed by the Delgado(?) cover up, and the now immortal Eddie Holman "Where I'm not wanted". We swung into the 80's with the very popular Skip Mahoney "Janice" and then back into the 70's with what surely is the best sound on the scene at the moment James Mack and The Chicago Gangsters "You're love pushed me over the top" cover up. That really packed the floor as did the Brainstormers c/u. After Al Johnson & The Hit Men's "Just ask me" came Oscar Perry and the very funky Lee More and the Resourceful Ones "You're love keeps me dancing. It was then back to the 60's for more covered sounds, (and non covered sounds) Frank Wilson, Bobby Kennedy, the Nomads incredible "Something's bad" and a great midtempo sound called "Dancing a hole in the world" by the suspect sounding Tony Hestor and the Detroit Delights Orchestra. The spot also included Vicky Baines "Country girl" which has been massive for two years now and the Joe Matthews c/u "I don't like to lose" rumoured to be the Orchid's on Kool Kat. Before retiring to the record bar I heard the other version of "Love slipped through my fingers" which gives Sam Williams a run for it's money. "He's so fine" the Judy Street cover up I didn't like.
Pat Brady was on next playing a mix of 60s and 70s sounds. Included in which were Eddie Jacobs Exchange "Can't seem to get you out of my mind" covered up as Ronnie McNeir, and the same as the 4 Tops, but judging by the ZTSC number it wasn't released until the 70s. The Frank Dell Band cover up, and the Volcanoes "Showstopper cover up; both went down well as did the slowest record of the night the Lou Brown c/u.
At about 4.45 Gary Rushbrooke took over playing The Sweet, which he insists on still calling "Chester Pipkin", Frankie Karl & The Chevrons again, The Salvadors pacey "Come on and love me" cover up and the very popular Velvet Hammer's "Happy" (not a cover up). From the 70's we had James Mack and the CG's again, and Wil Collins and Willpower from 1976 (again not a cover up).
I could not help noticing though how empty the place looked after about 4.00 with Mr M's open and the sleepers asleep parts of the hall were near on deserted with the dancefloor having fewer than 35 people on it at times a very saddening sight as one who can remember the Casino when it used to be packed. Anyway after a while Sam appears on the stage with his box (just about the only thing he has not got covered up), but then goes away again without having done a DJ spot.
Brian Rea then took over with some oldies. Popular were the real James (Jimmy) Mack and "My world is on fire" (which originally came out of a soul pack would you believe!), Billy Arnell, The Appollas "Mr Creator" and of course Billy Prophet. Old father Evison finished off "Burning spear" still proving popular along with the Fife Piper.
The Record bar, a shadow of it's former self, was quite bustling which surprised me. On sale were three E J Chandler's for a fiver each and three copies of Eddie Jacobs Exchange, as well as George Kirby for 5.
Having been round to a friend's that afternoon I heard how some guy had found a UK Hickory demo of "Queen of fools" at a record fair that morning. Well sure enough the same guy was at Wigan that night with the record on sale guess who he sold it too? Yes Keith Minshull for a tidy sum (for a sum reputed to be around 50).
All in all an enjoyable night to be had at the Casino still. The numbers are down on what they used to be, though one guy told me that they were up on what they had been (which makes we wonder the place must have been really empty).
There are spaces on the dancefloor where there never used to be and at times there are mighty big spaces too. With the exception of about five pop records from the oldies jocks and a few from Russ, I am glad to say that the musical content was 100% soul, being split about 65% from the 60s and 35% from the 70s / 80's. The most popular dancefloor packers seemed on the whole to be the newer sounds from the 70's.
The only thing that spoilt my enjoyment was the sadness reflected at how the place had lost so many regulars. Ironic really isn't it, the place is now more soulful than it's ever been, and the sounds played have never been better (nearly all soul), that the attendance is also at it's lowest ever.
Thanks to all my mates.
First day back was the Without Boundaries Summer Ball, donned in dinner jackets 'n' posh frocks it was great fun, specially when we got back home and it was my turn to wear the dress!
Net week it was Lowton then on Sat Tony Dawbors 50th followed by a first visit to Middleton. How refreshing to do a nighter that felt like they used to, lots of people all really going for it, and even better it finished at the proper time in the morning...congrats. Andy and crew, i'll be back.
The next weekend saw Jonno come down Friday from Wigan, they did Goodyears while i did my parental bit, and Togetherness on the Saturday.
The next was a local do, Max's Broad Lane on Friday, with Neil Rushtons modern Boiler Room nighter on Sat. with a brief 2 hour visit to the Kings Norton nighter after, apologies to all those we did the heads of , we were a bit manic i,m afraid.
We finished with Prestwich followed by the Marrs'y Bar the last week.
Quite a heavy schedule for me these days, but with the aid of Lord Scratchy we managed it with only brif periods of hating one another, and with my head thats very good, i can tell you.
So thanks to you all , from me and in her abscence Cheryl, cant mention everyone but heres a few:
Tess, Smokey johnny Kearsley, Phil and Jane, Colin C, Dave 'n' june, Sane and partner, Sam and Roger, Lucy and Mick, Jan, Frenchy and Johnny Sammy Jo and the rest.
She's gone till Prestatyn, but not me i'm still here to keep you all on your toes.........don't forget Burslem on 30th Sept. this ones gonna be massive, specially in my modern room
See ya Harpo.
Milestone Soul Albums
For all those 80’s soul connoisseurs out there only a handful of British soul artists that stood out, in comparison to their US counterparts. Keni Stevens is one of those British soul artists who could have succeeded where other UK soul artists failed, as his unique voice and production could compete with some of Americans finest at the time. However Keni Stevens came and went without getting the full recognition he deserved even with top UK Soul DJ’s like Robbie Vincent, Andy Peebles and Jeff Young backing him.
There was no mistaking the honey-toned voice at the other end of the phone. The same voice that has enraptured UK Soul fans in the classic soul decade that was the 1980’s. Keni Stevens is one of a kind, an artist who has stood the test of time, who has established a unique place in the pantheon of 80’s soul music.
History
British born singer Keni Stevens is the son of a U.S. serviceman and began his career working in a record shop selling deleted catalogues of classic soul and lovers rock/reggae. Keni first move into music came in the mid 70’s when he joined as lead singer for the group “Raw Energy”. “Raw Energy” members included Alan Cooke (now a British actor starring in “London Bridge”) and Peter Hinds (who went on to play keyboards for 80’s Brit funk band ‘Light of the World’) on keyboards. “Raw Energy” were signed to Conflict Records but disbanded after 18 months of playing gigs up and down the country.
Keni was taken on as A&R man for Conflict Records and being responsible for releasing lovers rock/ rock steady/ reggae classics by artists such as Gregory Isaacs in the UK. Keni also worked as a session singer with artists including Eddy Grant before signing to the Elite label as a solo artist in 1985.
“Blue Moods” period
Keni released initially two singles on Elite Records “Night Moves” and “All Day All Night” in 1985 which were well received by the soul crowd and getting picked up by specialist UK radio. This led to much interest in Keni Stevens, who was initially mistaken for being a new US artist. A few majors showed interest at the time, and Polygram Records offered Keni a 2.5 million pound record deal. Keni tells that he declined the offer as he felt he would be restricted by the major and would have to compromise his sound and style to fit the record label, as well as losing his self production.
Keni sticking with Elite started recording his debut album “Blue Moods”. Keni described the sessions as being long stretches in the studio and even doing a full 30 hour recording sessions some days. The initial thoughts of the record label were that the album sounded to mellow for the UK market as at the time UK soul was a more upbeat affair with acts like Loose Ends and Junior breaking the UK charts. Keni states at the time he was determined to release the album with or without the label’s backing. To test the water “Too much too Soon” and “Cannot Live Without Your Love” were released as 12inch singles (Too much too soon” on white label and “Cannot Live Without Your Love” on the Jam Today label). To the label’s surprise Keni was proven right, and so paved the way for the release of the classic “Blue Moods” album on the Jam Today label in 1987.
The songs on the “Blue Moods” album were a very passionate affair and soon found its way on top of most DJ playlists. “Cannot live without your love” was featured on many top soul compilations at the time i.e. “Upfront 6” (out on Serious Records), and “Spend the Night” on “Slow Jams 3” (out on Street Sounds).
The “Blue Moods” albums sold over 150,000 copies in the UK alone and over a million worldwide. Which was not bad start for a UK Indie Soul album at the time. The album established Keni Stevens on the soul scene in the UK and the loyal European soul market. Keni also appeared on a few television shows to promote the album such as the now infamous UK 80’s show “Solid Soul”.
Keni Stevens did go on to release two other albums “You” and “Living on the Edge” on the Debut Records label before disappearing in soul history.
"I am often asked if I write songs for anyone in particular. The reaction to my answer tells me whether or not the questioner understands my work. The answer is no. My songs are about adult relationships and situations.
I don't expect you to change anything in your life or relationship because of these songs, I can only hope they might shed some light on some of the things that often go unsaid in relationships. Therefore enjoy the songs and take from them anything you might find applicable to your own situation.
That's what this recording is about and after all, if you've reading this you've probably paid for it!!!"
Taken from Keni Stevens 'You' album sleeve.
Keni seems to be positive and in good spirits about the current revival of quality soul music from the neo-soul from the US to the new breed of UK soul talent. Keni like other musicians has found that new ways of working and promoting his work via the Internet and the Myspace revolution.
Keni has also just recently setup his own label and recording studio “Jam Today”, the original name for the studio/label he recorded his debut “Blue Moods” album. Keni states he and Andy (original Jam Today Studio/Label owner) were good friends, until his untimely death in 2000. Keni is also keen carry on Jam Today’s history and to work and collaborate and develop new artists, and share his knowledge of the music business. Keni is currently working on new tracks which may develop into an album in the future. He is also working with new UK talent Teish O' Day, Chanel Zane Fusco, Suza, 2Planets and Dragon Fly which Keni is very enthusiastic about working with.

6Ts / Valatone 100 Club Extravaganza! Saturday 12th Aug
6Ts / Valatone 100 Club Extravaganza
Due to an unexpected cancellation of the live jazz act for the early evening session at the 100 Club, the 6TS Rhythm 'n' Soul Society has negotiated with the Valatone org. to produce a whomper, stomper, bomper, xhomper soul session from 10pm to 8 am at the legendary Oxford Street club.
The massed ranks of Valatone DJs and show-girls will run their night at the 100 Club from 10pm-1.30am when the 6TS jocks will seamlessly take over and continue the night right through to 8am. So there won't be any queueing, or kicking out of jazzers or getting rickshaws from Euston up West. Jon Buck will be hosting his own little 50th party down there too and anyone with his tickets will be sorted amicably.
It will be £12 to get in before 1.30 and the usual tenner after 1.30. If anyone was just coming for the early session, we'll sort them accordingly. So if you were going to both, you save money, or if you were just doing the 100 Club it's the same; unless you splash out £2 and get in up to 3 ½ hours earlier.
So from 10pm-1.30 am it will be Johnny Timlin, Andy BB, Gareth Donovan and Adam Torel, then from 1.30 Mick Smith, Ginger, Ady Croasdell and Jumping Joan. Jon Buck will be cropping up all over the place throughout the night.
It's going to be one hell of a night, See you there!

Hitsville USA Will Debut in Detroit in 2007 - Musical Play
Seems there is also another musical play in the pipeline for 2007 as well, written by Berry Gordy
Authentic "Jersey Boy" Names Al Abrams, Motown Records Founding Publicist, to Create Original Motown Musical Play
Hitsville USA Will Debut in Detroit in 2007 Prior to Broadway, London Openings
t
Detroit, MI (PRWEB via PR Web Direct) July 27, 2006 -- The compelling untold true story of the early days of Motown Records as seen through the eyes of Al Abrams, the founding publicist of Motown and the first employee of Berry Gordy's Tamla-Motown music empire, is poised to become the basis of a theatrical musical.
Abrams, author of 11 published books and a journalist and publicist, has been named to write the book for the play, titled Hitsville USA.
Abrams was hired by Gordy on Memorial Day 1959 before there was even a Motown label. Although he had absolutely no experience, it was Abrams' job to get the fledgling company's records played on the air by disk jockeys, and especially white disk jockeys on Top 40 radio stations. And he succeeded, often using unorthodox but now legendary methods.
Abrams also became the company's first publicist, serving in that role through 1966, arguably the label's most productive years before Motown abandoned its Detroit roots for Los Angeles.
The legendary Hitsville USA studio at 2648 West Grand Boulevard in Detroit is where such Motown musical icons as Diana Ross and the Supremes, the Temptations, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, the Four Tops, the Marvelettes, Martha and the Vandellas and Stevie Wonder recorded their breakthrough hit records. Many of their songs are today anthems of pop culture. Now the site of the Motown Museum, the Hitsville USA address is known worldwide as a must-see destination for fans that make their musical pilgrimage to the building where Abrams once occupied the attic as his office.
The show's primary angel and organizer of the investor group is successful New Jersey businessman and musician Michael C. Haber. He says the musical will debut in Detroit. Among the potential venues are the Fox Theatre, which hosted the legendary Motortown Revues, and the Fisher Theatre in the landmark Fisher Building on West Grand Boulevard.
Haber, the son of Janet and Lenny Haber, is a musical prodigy who began playing the drums at the age of eight and began his professional musical career at 15. The Newark-born Haber performed with many contemporaries of the Jersey Boys' including the Belmonts and the Angels of My Boyfriend's Back fame. "I've been on stage 10,000 times," says Haber. Jersey Boys is the Tony Award winning musical on Broadway chronicling the career of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.
Berry Gordy announced his own plans for a Motown musical in 2003 and is scheduled to open his production in 2007 as well. "But the similarities end there," says Abrams. "I will be telling the Motown story through the eyes of an 18-year-old white Jewish boy in an all black environment, where I was surrounded by musical genius on a daily basis. My experiences at Motown were a microcosm of the then-contemporary rise of the civil rights movement in the United States. I am sure Berry will bring his unique perspective to his story."
Abrams is the featured essayist on Universal's Hip-O Select 166-song The Complete Motown Singles Volume Five - 1965 CD compilation, to be released August 4. He is currently completing Hype! a book on how he sold the Motown Sound to the media and the masses.
So how did the Jersey/Philly sound of Haber and the Motown Sound of Abrams get on the same play list? Haber explains, "I had the good fortune to meet Al Abrams through a mutual friend of a friend. There is no doubt that God has brought us together so amongst other things Al Abrams can receive the long awaited recognition and respect he undeniably deserves.
"This project stirs a passion in me to bring not only the wonderful songs that the great Berry Gordy has produced and delivered to us (thank you Mr. Gordy), but also the wonderful stories of the backgrounds and lives of the Motown artists. Most of all, it will introduce to the public the Al Abrams Motown story that has been overlooked by such productions as the Motown 40 television show. Motown and Gordy have left Abrams standing in the shadows long enough. Like the Funk Brothers before him, it is time for him to step into the spotlight."
Haber says he expects Hitsville USA to reach Broadway as well as London where many Motown/Northern Soul aficionados can have an opportunity to see the show.
