Speedlimit 754 Posted July 19, 2019 Looking forward to spinning some tunes at the iconic club where I first started out back in the summer of 1978 as warm up man for John Poole and Andy Lee. They gave me my first break as a dj. I stayed as a resident until the nights finished in late 1982. Two years later I returned with Derek Allen. Rob Smith. Rich Broughton. Myself and Andy Shaw. And have guested for several other promoters over the last 40years since I first ventured down. So I'm looking forward to spinning in the Batcave one last time. Let's make this a night to remember.

Mick Boyle 407 Posted August 12, 2019 (edited) Good to have you back Steve The Brit - This iconic house of soul will close its doors forever and be pulled down in January 2020 for the expansion of the NFFC. We have secured 6 nights July - December (Dates listed above) to celebrate Nottingham's most loved soul venue. Even the Palais or Dungeon couldn't compare to this place and it still looks like it did back in the day. We have secured many Brit DJs to assist in these final nights, Richard Broughton has agreed to come out of retirement for one last time. John Poole - Rob Thomas - Glyn Sisson - Steve Frost - Rob Smith - Mick H - Nev Shooter - Steve Phillis - Also SITP regulars Alex Gallagher and myself will be behind the decks. Also we're giving a few sets to Brit newbies for those who have a serious record collection but not had the chance to put the legendary Brit club on their CV. Only original vinyl will be used by all our DJs. Soul In The Park has been running for nearly 2 years and is well known for not playing same old same old. We play quality Northern, 60s, 70s, R&B, Motown. ballads, rare and yes some top 500. Now we are at the Brit, we will continue to do this and I know that our booked DJs will also play with passion. Hope to see you there - Mick Edited August 15, 2019 by Mick Boyle Link to comment
Mick Boyle 407 Posted September 4, 2019 No Brit newbies on tonight. Steve Phyllis was warm up man before me and has dj'd there more times than we can remember. Steve Frost became a very regular guest for John and Andy and was practically a regular. He certainly help take it to the next level music wise. Link to comment
Vadnochka 311 Posted September 8, 2019 Frostie will be there on Oct18th with that 120 count box to die for - Don't miss this one it may be your only chance to hear some of his Brit killers from 25 yrs ago and of course his current playlist will take some beating - bringing the 'bride as well' - keeps him in check 1 Link to comment
Speedlimit 754 Posted September 10, 2019 Two brit veterans with records to die for this will be another top night down trentside and I'm sure one not to be missed. Steve p Link to comment
Poullet 5 Posted October 8, 2019 It’s going to be another great night at The Brit. Remarkable venue it’s going to be such a loss to the Northern Soul scene. 1 Link to comment

Speedlimit 754 Posted October 17, 2019 Box of goodies sorted ready for tomorrow night can't wait. Feeling nostalgic, pity the decks aren't still in the little cupboard.
