Mick Boyle 409 Posted January 26, 2019 (edited) 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 had already booked DJ Kev Such to do Soul In The Park so now he will be our first guest DJ at the Brit. I will be the Brit DJ for this night as I have been for 26 year now. 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 - 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. Karen and Jason Roberts will do the warm up set at this one and are well worth turning up early for. 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 July 3, 2019 by Mick Boyle 2 Link to comment
Soul Man 0 Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) Can’t wait! Love Soul in the Park DJ lineups and the BRIT is just legendary venue. What a combination Edited May 31, 2019 by Soul Man Link to comment
Mick Boyle 409 Posted July 19, 2019 Flag reply Speedlimit Posted 1 hour ago 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. Hi Steve I have moved your comments to this latest thread for the Brit (Mick) Hope to see you before Oct 18th when your on. Link to comment
Mick Boyle 409 Posted July 19, 2019 Steve (Speedlimit) was on the decks at the Brit first time I ever attended. Andy Lee asked me to be the warmup dj about 26 years ago and i had to quickly up my game record wise. Nev Shooter joined about the same time, Glyn Sisson, Andy Lee and John Poole were the regulars + guests every month. Dont get any better. Link to comment
