Regs blog from 2005
Posted by Reg 01 August 2005
Had a last wheel out before the imminent arrival of baby Reg at Steve's new night Soul or Nothing. Wow, what a turn out and, without any hint of bias, I have to say it was one of the best nights I've been at for a good while (with the possible exception of the launch night ).
Thing is he's got it just right for the kind of people he wants to attract. A plush venue with plenty of sofas ( for those of us who need to take the weight off out feet for whatever reason) , a fantastic dj list mainly consisting of collectors with the odd big name guest thrown in , a great location in City centre Manchester and a good age range of customers, not just from the soul scene. I invited a group of friends down who aren't soul scene regulars by stretch of the imagination and they had a fantastic time and are coming again next month. Also, there were a few young girls sitting near me on the door who danced all night and were asking me about other venues they could go to.
Steve's enthusiasm for the scene we love is infectious and this kind of night is perfect for introducing new people to rare soul -people who've maybe been to Matt Bolton's Move on Up in Leeds or Northern Funk in Manchester and want to hear more in a non intimidating, modern atmosphere -rather than be scared off by Oxford bags, chin strokers and wide eyed men old enough to be your father
I'd encourage any of you reading this (if there is anybody reading this....) to come down and try it out. The next one is August 27th....I'll be there in spirit

A word on the artists appearing at Northampton Weekender
Their 'replacements' are no slouches however, and in The Adorables, Barbara Mercer and Betty Boo fans will gain a unique opportunity to witness three of Detroit's finest. The Adorables originally consisted of the two Lewis sisters, Pat and Diane, and Betty and Jackie Winston. Although Jackie sadly passed away several years ago, the remaining trio will be performing, not only as a group but in their individual personas. Lead singer Jackie Winston will be of particular interest to the 'northern' crowd in her 'Betty Boo' role. Many will remember what a massive record 'Say it isn't so' became at Wigan and beyond. Pat and Diane Lewis will perform individually too. Barbara Mercer's career at both Golden World and Sidra has been closely monitored for years in the UK, and it is a great privilege to finally see her performing on our shores. In concert with her husband George McGregor, Barbara has produced some of the most memorable songs to ever come out of Detroit, and she will not disappoint.
The Masqueraders have been together as a group for over 40 years, and are only eclipsed by The Dells for longevity. Their recording career began in Dallas in 1965 with the mega rare "That's the same thing" and progressed through a spell in Detroit with LaBeat Records, stints with Tommy Cogbill at American, Isaac Hayes for ABC, Bell, Hi in Memphis and numerous independent and self produced projects. Their residency at the Blues CafÃÆ’© on Beale Street in Memphis has allowed the lucky few to witness their live act. Now everyone else will get a chance. With master showman Chuck Jackson on hand to climax the show, everything looks set for this event to become one of the most memorable shows ever.

Willie Hutch Article in the Dallas Observer
Willie Hutch wrote one of the greatest songs ever, but he ain't done yet
By Robert Wilonsky
Published: Thursday, October 29, 1998
.....Willie Hutch's studio sits along a desolate stretch of Highway 67 in Cedar Hill. It is just off the highway, not far from an exit no one seems to use very much--unless, perhaps, they are in need of used tires, which are sold at the establishment sitting next to the brown box that houses Hutch's recording facility. The building itself isn't so much run-down as it is forgotten; above the two-story facility hangs a sign advertising space for rent, and it looks as though it has been hanging there forever, ignored. Hutch's studio isn't even marked on its exterior. There is only the address and a single, struggling light bulb over the doorway. To call it modest would be overstating the point. You only rent here when you're out of options, or on the run.....
..............in 1964 or '65--Hutch isn't exactly sure of the date--Smokey Robinson went to L.A. to ask Hutch about coming to Motown as both a writer and producer. Back then, no aspiring songwriter could have asked for more; it was heaven on a stick, the chance to work with Marvin Gaye and the Supremes and the Four Tops when they were at the top of their games. Hutch told Marc Gordon about Robinson's impending visit, to which Gordon responded that if he didn't sign with Johnny Rivers immediately, then Rivers wouldn't sign the Fifth Dimension or singer Al Wilson to Soul City. "I kinda felt rained on a little bit," Hutch says. But he stuck with the Fifth, if only out of loyalty. "I got a heart." He smiles. Hutch called producer Hal Davis at Motown and told him to extend his thanks--and his regrets--to Smokey.............

3rd September 2005 Groovy Grooves at the Top Deck Club, Huddersfield.
Cheers,
Colin.
3rd September 2005 Groovy Grooves at the Top Deck Club, Huddersfield.
It was the 3rd of September, that day I.ll always remember …“cos that was the day we started our new soul night. ;-))) Guy & Col had decided to start their latest foray into the fickle world of soul night promoting following the success of the …"Real Wigan soul night" held after the last night of the play …"Once upon a time in Wigan" back in April. The music policy was to be on the same lines as venues Col had previously promoted just simply northern soul music with a capital N & a capital S. It was to be a venue where astute soulies could come along to hear audacious DJs earning their fee by rummaging in their boxes and playing something a bit different, something new, the previously played mid-tempo toons that were dismissed twenty years ago but are the hidden gems of today. So we knew the Top Deck Club was just the right size for the kind of forward thinking, discerning soulie prepared to travel to get their fix of …"sweet soul music" ;-))
With adequate parking in the surrounding streets, the club is across the road from the bus station and relatively close to the railway station. It's far enough away from the town centre Saturday night pub crawl all pros so far now for the only con the room itself is at the top of two flights of stairs but even this con depends on how fit you are; Karen, Eileen, Bev, my lips are sealed and for an amazingly small fee I will destroy the CCTV tape I bought from the club l;-))))) (funny how its just the ladies, I myself had no problem with the stairs ;-)) The room itself is on the bijou side and the dance floor although small is beautifully formed, with four mirrored pillars surrounding it; so thereÃ's no need to be half cut up before making that first tentative move on to the floor as the mirrors give the illusion that there are at least four other dancers on the floor with you;-)))))
So back to the night how did it go, well just about as good as it could, a great atmosphere, a full room, cheap beer, dance floor action, great toons played by DJs whom had the presence of mind to play to think about what this travelling crowd of soulies had paid to hear consistent good quality Northern Soul.

Needless to say he did play a great set many of which were unknown to me.
All in all great music appreciated by a great crowd, next one is Saturday 1st October followed by Saturday 3rd December so come along to the Top Deck Club for some Groovy Grooves.
Soulfully yours,
Shirley.

Soul Auctions - a reaction to the New Orleans disaster
There are two auctions currently running to try and raise money for the city that produced so much music we all love. One is being run on http://www.soulstrut.com and another on the http://www.fryer-mantis.co.uk board.
The rules are collectors dig out a record, offer it up to the community of collectors and whatever $$ is raised finds its way to the needy.
The www.soulstrut.com auction has raised over 20,000$ in the past week, and the www.fryer-mantis.co.uk auction, though only two days old, is going great guns too. All kinds of records, studio tapes, acetates, issues, some NOLA some not, are on offer.
The www.fryer-mantis.co.uk board money is going to an artists and musicians' fund, the www.soulstrut.com auction is going more towards more general relief. Both can be seen in action here ...

Lookback Monkey Friday 26 Aug 2005
Started as a just quick off the cuff view and thanks on last nite, expanded now to include plays, info and more to be added as recieved
Second one at the new venue Old Hall at Llandudno, so here's my usual quick lookback on it. As always its from my viewpoint involved in organising it, so always gonna be slightly different view than others.
Night was another succesfull one, good sized crowd in, good buzz got going as nite moved on, and going by feedback recieved online and out and about mostgave it a thumbs up!
After move 40 miles of event deeper into the homeland, night it self never gonna be completely like the Springfield, while run with the same original attitude and commentment, time, changes and stuff do mean the event is always gonna be evolving, as we said at begining its all about dishing out exciting quality nites of rare soul, doing things right way and will continue as long as doing it is enjoyable!
Now have right old handy team of regulars, all with own taste and styles, which when mix in usual 1 or 2 top of the tree quality guests then add the local guy get it going spot to mix, reckon have tools to dish out a right old varied mix of quality stuff.
Playlists and info hopefully from all to follow, Got some plays in and added at end, along with some misc info from some
Hartley got things going with a great put together selection of quality interesting tunes
Steve Thomas did a early spot with a mix that shows why so busy at other events, doing his usual trick of dedicating most have asked if he wants to flog to me. Andy Killock on next for a 45 min voyage of quality, some great stuff from the only non-welsh dj in line up and watch out for his plays and info as be some interesting stuff, Chico next and after Andys voyage of discovery, went for a good time oldies spot which worked great, Phil Blacknell next and as was dragged off doing organising stuff and that didnt catch that much from his or Ritchie Andrew following spot was told good stuff, main guest up next and as said on blurb it was first time appearance as a dj at Monkey for Soul Sam and a welcome return to Llandudno as well. Was a well overdue appearance by North Wales very own legendary DJ and he certainly made the most of it, dishing out a great set proving that he is on fire at the moment. After that was up to Mark Speakman to stand up and follow the man and that he did, i got knocked down by stampede for margret little. Your man me finished the nite off with last 30 mins . Nite finshed to strains of come to me softly, and that was that
Crowd wise - good to see many familar faces make journey, few random memory based dodgy name checks, the man who many call the spirit of the monkey Joe Dunlop and all wxm gang, Karl and Debbie who brought Robbo and Stevie Catto with them, The Big Lock team, believe was some Greatstone rogues that missed (blame Steve), Chester duo reappearing, Jimmy and co from other side of river, Steve and Julie, Kit, Colin, Cel, Jean all the usual local and close by soul heads that make this event possible, and all rest must have missed
Vinyl wise - fair amount of boxes, Roger Banks rapidly turning into Monkey regular vinyl vendor, Sam had some very tempting vinyl, a lot of small boxes, was happy to get a lp been after for a bit
Thanks to all the djs and if can email plays and throw in any interestiong info or stories or such sure be appreciated. Playlists, info and highlights being added as recieved at end. Thanks to the door team, Sue and Dave, the bar staff, security and manager. Thanks to all who while may not showed do support the event in many ways, spreading the word, and so on. And most importantly thanks as always to all those who parted with hard cash on the door.
End view
Myself thought well up to last one, second one here, nite still evolving after the move of location, so maybe some tweaking, but own view is that now firm in new location and can crack on with enjoying soul music!
Reckon great that have a need to mention, the amount of co-operation, help and support shown from many similar events was as always appreciated, and great to see
Next one at old hall, planned for Oct and believe it or not it this should be the start of a more frequent regular run of events at this venue
Thanks Again
Drunken Monkey Team
Mike Steve Chico

Andy Killick plays and info
a regular "guest" since early days, and has joined us on past monkey dj trips out. Banged on about him a fair bit in pre-match programme here's why......
In true monkey style, last night pushed out a newies feast!!
Six of the best were...
1. The Cliffhangers - Since You Been Away - C-Gea
First play anywhere. This chilling 60s midtempo monster has finally arrived and caused quite a stir. Set at a beautiful gliding pace, the echoing harmonies and lyrics make this an instant favoraite.
2. The Royal Imerials - My Heart is Hurting - Mellow Town
Where has this been! Once again a total unknown on a small label with a couple of other semi known releases. But wait, this is a northern soul cut of the highest quality mid-uptempo group dancer. Could this indeed be the Servicemen, certainly the arrangements and vocal suggest they just might be!
3. The Sheepherders - If Ever You Need Me - Sounds International
An incredibly obscure release on the label comes this uptempo track which is a very close comparison to The Nomads on Mogroove. Fronted by stunning vocals from Bubba Baily, with a consuming backing track that delivers seamless breaks. The thing about this track is that you hear it once and it just sticks with you!
4. Maurice Jackson - Its to Late Baby - Soulville
Yes, this is Maurice Jackson, but on a totally unrelated Soulville label it would appear! A simple yellow designed label simillar to that of the Deltours on Starville. This is a superb dead centre northern dancer that has it all. Why has it not been played before, probably rarity, but who cares its arrived now courtesy of The Monkey!
5. The Inconquerables - For Your Love - Flodavieur
From the same stable as The Antellects comes probably the rarest release on the label feauturing the Inconquerables, and a right northern belter it is. Gritty soulful lead vocalist, deep backing harmony, with a tight arrangement and the adrenaline just drips from your fingertips. There somthing about this track that sends echos of The Mello Souls to your spine, with more exposure this track could well be massive.
6. The Grey Imprint - Do You Get The Message - Clearhill
This last featured track in Andy Killicks set has received airplay from Shifty at the 100 club covered-up as Lou Pride. But with both Andy and Butch now playing it, this masterpiece could be set for the wide recognition it deserves. An unbelievable track and lyrics which really does capture the soul and feel of 60s black America. If you haven't heard this, you need to.
Part of an indulgent raresoul attack that among others included the likes of;
Saints - I'll Let You Slide - Wig Wam
Bobby Wisdom - Handwriting on The Wall - Out A Site
Eddie Daye - Guess Whos Loving You - Shrine
Celebrities - I Choose You - Boss
Deltours - Sweet and Lovely - Starville
Utopias - Girls Are Against Me - LaSalle
Soul Sam 3 top of the trees
Belitta Woods - Foolish Girl Cover
Margret Little - Love Finds A Way -Genebro
Eric Lomax - Girl you so good to me - cover

Dynamics - I'm a lonely man - picked up from Rob Thomas recently
Tyrone Edwards - You Did it - Detroit 45 ( later seen it listed on Olam) from Dave Thorley -Sam said shades of Ray Evans's This Time with feeling

Sad news: Ernie Johnson RIP An obituary
They then had the great double sider 'I Believe She Will' / 'We Try Harder' released on Shazam and picked up nationally by Chess. A one off recording session with Columbia included the ballad 'Falling Tears (Indian Drums)' which came out on a single, and a terrific uptempo mover 'The Groove She Put Me In' that was unreleased until Kent licensed it for the duo's only solo CD; CDKEND 214 "Lost Friends". At this point the two singers cut solo singles for Phoenix's Artco label. Ernie's 'I Can't Stand The Pain' is now valued at ¡ò1500 and Eddie's 'Contagious Love' isn't far short of that. Back as a duo and with Hadley Murrell, their original producer, who could almost have been described as their guardian, they released two singles on LA's Revue label, including the great 'Thanks For Yesterday'. Their final single, still with Hadley, showed they could still produce wonderful performances. 'Hiding In Shadows' on the Buddah label was good enough to be featured on "Dave Godin's Deep Soul Treasures" series of CDs for Kent. In fact they were the only act to feature on each of the prestigous four volumes. Dave's championing of the group over the years meant he had access to some excellent material they had recorded as The Phoenix Express in 1971 and six tracks, back as the duo, cut in 1972. Most of these were featured on the 'Lost Friends' CD including the excellent ballads 'A Man To Love A Woman' and 'You Make My Life A Sunny Day'. The duo wrote most of their own material and also provided songs for acts such as Jackie Wilson, Jean Stanback, Dee Clark, Jacqueline Jones and James Carr. By the time the idea of the CD came into being, Eddie was dead (we have subsequently found out that he died in 1994 not in the 70s as stated in the sleeve notes) and Ernie was living rough in Phoenix. "Discovered" by local DJ and musicologist John Dixon, he was made aware of the appreciation of his work, in the UK in particular, and was so happy to read Dave Godin's "Treasures" sleevenotes. The subsequent financial dealings from the CD eased his plight to an extent, but he remained troubled. Always dreaming of finding another Eddie and getting his inspired act together again, his hopes were ended on a dark Phoenix street.

An article (2004) on Ernie "Sweetwater" Johnson was on AZ Buzz but seems no longer there
“I’ll need to get a ride with you,” said Ernie out of the middle of nowhere. We were waiting for his turn to sing Karaoke at the AmVet Post #15 at 7th St. and Broadway in South Phoenix Wednesday night. “I live at 13th and Pima on the west side,” he followed. “I wish I would have known you were going to need a ride, Ernie,” I said. “I have to leave early, before you sing the last time, sorry.”
Transcripts of recent interviews with Ernie "Sweetwater" Johnson can be found in the soul people section via the link below

Sad News - Lynn Davis
Lynn a close friend of many of us on this site and an integral part of the London soul scene died on Wednesday.
Lynn DJed for us at the 100 Club and in the upstairs room at Cleethorpes on several occasions usually appearing as “That Girl Lynn”. She was one of London’s soul scene’s most avid and passionate supporters and was a close friend to many of us.
There is a tribute to Lynn on the 6TS website and a Book of Condolences is available via the following link

Monkey: Fri 26 Aug plus more news
latest updated news can be found here
https://www.soul-source.co.uk/content/view/12393/
Ok everything is 100% solid now with the upcoming Monkey at the Old Hall Llandudno, after way the last one went ( read review here )and with the line up on offer for this reckon that Friday Aug 26th should be a good one
Latest DMSC news - Once summer out of the way watch out for news on forthcoming dmsc events
monkey @ old hall landudno
friday 26 august
8pm - 2am £ 5 in
venue :
The venue is a large listed 16th century manor hall here, and while on the outside it looks just like that, once inside the building there is a bit of a tardis effect. The dance complex part is purpose made for such an event, dj booth, a unusual floor and layout, all a bit different from the usual but sort of tailor made if know what I mean,
djs:
main guest is Soul Sam, though been at the monkey before, as this was as a punter, this event is a long over due visit as monkey guest dj.
our other guest is Andy Killock, who last time at monkey proved that he is one of the best "unknown/should be known" djs around with what he pushed out
Along with usual bunch of regular reprobates dishing out a wide varied mic of current floorfillers, rarites, and quality revivals
Ritchie Andrew, Chico, Mark Speakman, Phil Blacknell, Hartley, Steve Thomas , Mike H
sales:
Roger Banks will be attending and bring his sales, plus usual sellers and boxes

Soul Source: Many Thanks to Kolla
Just like to pass on personal thanks to Kolla who has decided to step down from moderating on Soul Source.
Long time members will be more than aware of the part she has played in making Soul Source what it is over the years. Both on the contributing side and also the rarely seen moderating side.
No doubt that without Kolla's efforts this site would have never grown and developed the way it has. Many a time it was purely down to her calmness and positive thinking that ensured this site got thru some of the bumpy times we have had along the way.
Many thanks Kolla

Lowton - Lookback at Aug 2005
dunno what's going on nowadays but feels like doing something wrong if
can't get to an event that always enjoy as often as like. Always enjoy
Lowton, the layout, three rooms, dj policy, record bar, cost and
location all work together with result always have a enjoyable night
there.
The nite was a mini-niter, as in was open till 4am, fairly sure was
told this was the last one open till 4am to be held, which at a guess
is something to do with new licensing laws coming in.... maybe but as
always best bet is to wait for official word. As said this trip to
Lowton was long overdue, and was looking forward to it, sometimes with
events if a bit of a gap between visits then do notice differences, but
everything was as it was last time, turned up to a full car park busy
inside and good buzz, like the layout of lowton cause you're free
to roam and can do stuff like play tip on high or corridor sprints if
have a need.
Main hall was busy, not much chance of reading worthwhile
informative reporting here as was after having a most enjoyable nite,
grabbed some alcohol made a trip down corridor to check RnB room
was still RnB-ing and yep it was certainly doing that with some good
sounds as we relaxed down that end of event. Good to catch up with Pete
Coulson.
A early visit to modern room, still warming up and while can
recall every tune pushed out whilst in there just to make sure no
mistakes will add Baz M's highlight list that he posted up here other
day, a nice mix of everyday people made a impression, quite switched on
at this moment as asked Dave L to recommend a good time to get back in
later where will catch a couple of good sessions, he made the effort
and passed on recommendations, I then made a strong mental note of the
timings and after a good dose of what was on offer modern wise moved
on, of course these timings were wiped away when later doing some
bartering, so anyone reading this who can pass on a better view of the
modern room going ons help us out and post up. (sorry bout that but as
said was on a nite out nite)
Record room was as busy as always and lots of vinyl on offer, always a
wide range on offer, bargains, musthaves and so on , lot of catch ups,
and fair bits of info
Here's just some bits, think 100%
Neil Jones gave a heads up on Bury says going strong still packing them
in each month and next weeks one should be yet another good one.
Point made on night by someone, was how events like Bury and Lowton and
others just crack on with no fuss dishing out what they say they will,
regular soul events with large crowds month in and month out their own
way with no fuss, no politics or no controversy.
Interesting point that and caused some discussion
Roger Banks was flogging his wares along with dj-ing and passed on that
he be bringing his vinyl wares again to the next Monkey at end of month.
Soul Sam was doing the vinyl sales thing and took time to pass on his
current top plays along with a few of his "on the up" plays which be on
site later in monkey section, which of course the next one features Sam
as the main guest making a long overdue appearance at Monkey and an
overdue return to Llandudno. Of course if cant wait till then can catch
him at his own event at Broughton next week.
Guy called Ian from Carlise (apologies if name wrong) asked me to pass
on info about the Castle Soul Club in London on Friday 26th August with
Roger Stewart as guest
8.30-1.30
Main Room was still going strong, caught Dean Anderson dishing
out his disks Rob Thomas was strutting his stuff, Steve Thomas was
spinning his spins, Andy M and Molly were throwing their tunes John
Poole was pushing his plays
Districts - One lover, Mac Staton & Nomads - There she goes, Alt
version of Upper Hand by Candi Statons dad or uncle, Jimmy Raye -
Philly dog around the world, Kenny Lewis - Not the marrying kind,
Parsiains - Twinkle little star
being a brief varied grab of sounds from night
Steve had work in morning so left round 3 ish, well as said was a nite
out nite out and as such this lookback is a bit brief on plays and
highlights and heavy on rubbish, so feel free to add if there!
Overall was yet another enjoyable night at Lowton Civic, as said at
beginning its been a while since last visit but to be honest it could
have been last month as everything was as it is always, full credit to
the promoters for last night and the continuity of this event.

Henry Stone Interview
Henry Stone has long been known around the world as one of the pioneers of the record industry. After working with vinyl, cassettes and CDs, Henry is now moving into music's digital era with worldwide digital distribution of his product on The Legendary Henry Stone label to all of the most popular digital services in the world.
In his almost six decades in the business, Henry has discovered talents that have sold millions of records and become international stars. He has formed record companies with hits so big and meaningful that they created new categories in music. Henry was born in the Bronx, N.Y. He played the trumpet, and after a stint in the Army he moved to Los Angeles where, in 1946, he started his career by selling records to jukebox operators from the trunk of his car. In 1948 he moved to Miami, Fla. and started to record and distribute the abundance of Miami doo-wop, blues, gospel and R&B artists. Henry says he "wanted to funk up the world," and he started doing just that via his own Chart, Rockin' and Glory...
