About The Event

Saturday September 24th 2022 we celebrate the life of our great friend Paul Harris, known to many on here as an avid collector of Rare Soul 45s. If you're reading this you have more than likely bought records from Paul, he used to carry an amazing sales box to venues around the UK. Paul also promoted some quality events under " The Bradford Rare and underplayed soul nights" Some great memories from his various events around Bradford, particularly Morley Carr and Mill Lane. 

We have gathered together 18 rare soul DJs to entertain you, who have DJ'd for Paul over the years for the all day event at Rochdale Ukrainian Club Mere Street OL11 1HJ  which runs 3pm until midnight. Admission is a very reasonable £5 which when you look at the line up we think it's a snip!! The Club has it's own free car park and there is also on street parking surrounding the club

All proceeds will be donated to The Rochdale Branch of RSPCA  a very worthy cause!! If you knew Paul from various niters, weekenders and soul nights, please come and join us in what is sure to be a memorable event!!

Be good to see you ...it was you who put me forward to play some tunes to Paul  ...Thankyou .....and i'm ever thankful he gave me my first ever dj spot ........so am honoured to play some at his event !!!!

 It was a great night and you played some great tunes I remember it well!!! We had some great nights both at that venue and at the bigger place where you went down the ramp!!  The one up on the tops was fairly interesting  nearly got blown into Grant (RIP) and his girlfriend when I opened my mate John's car door mind we were almost in the clouds but a real posh venue when you got in there!!

Can only echo what many have already said I feel very honoured to be playing a few records in remembrance of such a well loved truly nice Kind warm hearted gentleman always honest and truthful told it how it was but oh so funny at times , made me laugh so many times one regarding a rubber suit , I’ll say no more apart from he never batted an eye lid when telling me , I was nearly on the floor in bits , It will be a great day remembering a very genuine guy and also a big thanks for the  people who have organised all this truly inspirational you have really done both paul and yourselves proud very well done bless you !! 👍

Hats off to Janette for putting this all together. Happy to play a small part in the proceedings. I think we all have our recollections of Paul and his wicked sense of humour. Still hard to believe and miss our phone calls, he would have me in stitches. Still have a few of my purchases from Paul in my collection, pretty certain one or two will get a spin on this momentous occasion, see you there!!
