Towngate Soul Collective

Looking forward to Leyland Towngate Collective - a great start to a busy soul weekend. 

Hi everyone,

 yet again we had a great night at the Collective last night, John Meridith set the mood with his usual great selection from 8pm till 9pm. Then we had our Ken from 9 till10 with his usual mix of unknown b sides and old floor fillers. Steve followed Ken with a great mix of rare crossover and then our regular guest, Derek Smith, came along with a great mix of everything filling the dance floor. I brought up the rear with the following play list.

A really busy night - full of collectors, dj’s and appreciative listeners and dancers. I still continue to come away every time with some new tunes. For once I managed to catch the first spot by John Meredith and wasn’t disappointed. A cosy venue but so friendly with dj’s that are always pushing to broaden our rare soul knowledge across all genres. A little gem of a night.
