Pete and EVO from Wolverhampton plus:

Sure to be a packed night supporting these great DJ's plus promoters in support.

£3.00 on the door as usual and starts from 7.30pm till 12.30am. Big car park (Free) to rear of club. More details to follow:

 

Message from Dickie last week and George last week , Dickie thought a few tunes he,d play would be as a tribute to the late John Powney who was the most prolific collector of rare soul over the last 40 years in the North East, a nice thought and George will bring over some heavyweights ,like his lovely w/demo only known copy of Magnetics on Sable and the file demo copy on Bonnie of Magnetics that he brought over here over 20 years ago from Detroit and of course a few rockets for bonfire night . It's gonna be a mega night of rare Northern Soul for sure.

Support your Rare Soul night as there's not many about in the UK let alone the North East -

I really enjoyed the evening, great records all the way!

All the DJ's played great sets.  Knowledgeable crowd in attendance.

First time at the Rafa for me, the venue was friendly and had a good atmosphere!

Ivan.

RAFA CLUB – Aycliffe – SERIOUS SHADES OF SOUL

 

Playlists from guest dj’s – Pete Ratcliffe, EVO (Wolverhampton), Dickie Watts, George Hunt (Carlisle)

Our rare soul nights are still regularly attended which goes to prove that discerning soul fans want “Something New To Do” from a soul night and it was good to see so many faces last Saturday night, especially the supporters from Wolverhampton and Carlisle.

8.00pm and Pete Ratcliffe kicked off the start of the guest dj spots, Pete was a bit nervous but after 5 minutes was in his element playing…….

 

Ethics – I want my baby back

Tommie Young - Hit and run lover

Out – of – sights – Tears don’t care who cries

Enchanted Five – Have you ever

Jive Five (feat’ Eugene Pitt) – If I had a chance to love you

Magnificent 7 – Never will I make my baby cry

Voice Masters – Dance right into my heart

Compliments – Beware, Beware

Ujima – I’m getting hip to your ways and actions

Cash McCall – You can’t take love

The Stoppers – Come back baby

11 cool sounds from Pete getting the night off to a great start and following Pete was Evo…..

Quite a lot of Pete and Evo’s plays were on the free cd which runs through beautifully and each track blends with the next one perfectly. Next up is George Hunt from Carlisle with some big hitters….

Paulette - Love you babe – Contact

The 30 minute sets go past quickly and work well for delivering different styles of Northern soul and next up is the legendary Dickie Watts who’s had nearly every rare soul record through his hands at point or another and it was great to let Dickie loose on the decks playing just what he wanted to… We await Dickie’s playlist as he never listed the records – they will be posted soon but some I remember were

 

Tommy Turner  - Lazy – Elbam

Perfections – Lonely – Big B

It’s 10pm now and time for Pete’s second set and Pete started just where he left off with….

Internationals  - Beautiful Philosophy

Fidels  - Boys will be boys

Wilson Love  - Funny money

The Commands  - Don’t be afraid to love me

Many thanks to Pete for his first time on the decks at the rafa club, Evo following on with something a bit more uptempo – kicking off his second set with ……

Tommy Frontera – You’re my leading lady

The Spidells – Pushed out of the picture

The Mayberry Movement – I think I’m in love

Clara Wood – You’re after my guy

Belita Woods – Magic Corner

Billy Keene – Wishing and hoping

Gino Washington – I’ll be around

Colette Kelly – City of fools

The Wolverhampton boys were applauded for their efforts and to keep things rolling along for the dancers, many thanks to Pete and Evo plus all of their friends for travelling so far to the Rafa Club, (Pete, Jackie, Evo, Jane, Mike, Jan, Mac and Lynne) they mainly come to listen and dance but this time contributed – many thanks guys and we’ll see you next year.

All records played are OVO..... get along to the next rafa soul club 3/12/2016 - you'll love it.
