RAFA CLUB NEWTON AYCLIFFE – SERIOUS SHADES OF SOUL

 

SOUL NIGHT – 4th JUNE 2016 – SPECIAL GUEST DJ:

 

JOHN PHILLIPS FROM THE GOLD COAST (AUSTRALIA) FORMER Doncaster Soul boy...

 

 

 

This was a poignant soul night as it was exactly one year ago when our dear friend and Northern Soul fan Phil Joss was last with us. Last June we had a great soul night at the Rafa Club with “Jossy” being first in the club and last out as usual and loving every minute of it. Sadly 12 hours later he had died due to a motorcycle accident. We all paid our respects to Phil at the Big Club in Newton Aycliffe where an All-Dayer had been organised by his wife Lydia, family and friends with a sell out 275 ticket only celebration of Phil’s life. We never forget Phil at the Rafa Club as he was such an avid supporter and every soul night at the Rafa Club is a celebration to him. R.I.P. Phil Joss.

 

On with show as the saying goes:

 

Our special guest DJ was John Phillips formerly from Doncaster and more from him later. First in the club as usual when they’re here were Peter, Jackie and friends from Wolverhampton followed by Geoff, Margaret, Helen and Tom from Clitheroe / Burnley plus the gang from Carlisle – who apparently are all called George??? A bit of a slow burner due to the All-Dayer one mile down the road but the placed filled up respectfully for all dj’s at the club. First up playing “the background music” from 7.30pm for 60 minutes was yours truly with:

 

Volumes – Same old feeling – Impact

Deon Jackson – Can’t go on – Carla

The Ascots – Another day – Mir-A-Don

Eula Cooper – Try – Tragar

Admiral Ice – My Carolina Girl – Ocean-Side

Almetta Lattimore – These Memories  - Mainstream

Bobby Hutton – Come see what’s left of me – Phillips

Wendy Rene  - Young and Foolish – Stax

The Jades  - Lucky Fellow – Mode

Juan Williams  - I check my mailbox – Blue Soul

The Topics  - Hey Girl (where are you going) – Chadwick

Jo Ann Garrett – Stay By My Side – Chess

E.J. & The Echoes  - Put a smile on my face – Diamond Jim

Hesitations  - Soul Superman – Kapp

Next up for the start up sets is Ian Shoulder with:

Larry Wright  - Sweet Kisses – A Go Go

Little Johnnie Hamilton – Oh how I love you  - Dore

Theola Kilgore  - It’s gonna be me allright – Mercury

Now then – John Phillips played the most brilliant funky “New Northern” set but never wrote the tracks down so – I await his list. An amazing set of upfront, hard edged music you’ll hear in a long time and no doubt will be chasing the stuff over the next 12 months – I’ll put the list up when John sends it to me – told you you should have been there....

 

Paul Shoulder filled in for 30 minutes with a few dancers to get the shoes busy whetting the appetites for the next 2 big sets from Paul Ackley and John Phillips  - here’s what happened....

26 fantastic tunes from John Phillips – the whole spectrum of rare Northern, RNB, Funk – “New Northern” call it what you like it was all great. Thanks very much for your efforts John and for the kind comments to keep the club going as you said “There’s not many clubs in the world let alone the UK allowing DJ’s to play what they like rather than the top 500”. No doubt John will keep you or me posted regarding his earlier Funk / New Northern set as it needs listing to show where we are all heading.....

Final few records played by Ian to close the night for the last 15 minutes:

Dusty Wilson - Gonna be a tragedy - Mutt

Freddie Butler  - Save your love for me  - Wheelsville

Bobby James   I really love  you  - Karol

Tommy Tate - Are you from heaven - Okeh

Kell Osbourne - Quicksand - Titanic

Thanks again to John Phillips and Paul Ackley for the first class entertainment.

Regards Paul and Ian.....
