Blinkers Off! Used to be my favourite phrase when talking to people about Nu Soul. Having first been inspired by Northern Soul in the 70s, like almost everyone, I always wanted to hear something different, new, soulfull. From then until now I have searched out the latest soul offerings from around the world and never been scared to drop an unheard track into my set. Many many years of djing and presenting both live and on the radio have given me the opportunity to introduce listeners and dancers to something they won't have heard before. There are more Soul DJs now than there has ever been but very few pay attention to the large space in front of them and the people sat around it. In my world that is the wrong way round. There should be no space and many empty seats. As I can't bear to be without my Soul during the week I host two radio shows on www.jfsr.co.uk. Infiniti (Sundays 8-10pm) and Groove On (Wednesdays 2-4pm) both shows have totally opposing playlists with Infiniti concentrating on the best of the new releases and Groove On spanning the decades and genres from 60s to Y2K.
In 2017 I am mostly busy playing Jazz Funk, Nu Soul, Modern Soul and Soulful House up and down the UK. Resident at the massive Margate Soul Festival, Bridlington Weekend Modern Room, Long Eaton Boogie Room, Costa Del Soul, Sheffield City Hall and Bless The Funk Weekend I get to share my love of Soul with many different people. My favorite phrase now is You Can't Say Modern Soul without saying MMMMM :-)
phew !!!! And having caught Andy at a recent gig leaving them begging for for and then dashing off up the M1 to City Hall I'm glad we pinned him down to date last year !!!
All it leaves me to say is .....Steve and I guarantee you a very warm Soul II Sole welcome !! And we look forward to seeing you on the dance floor at ....
