Episode 20 - Ady Croasdell

The latest episode of the Ace podcast keeps it in the family, with Kent label boss, Ace’s Head of A&R and Northern Soul royalty, Ady Croasdell. 

Ady’s “For Dancers Only” was the beginning of a beautiful partnership with Ace, being his first - and yet somehow simultaneously one of the most definitive - compilations of the genre. Ady also has the longest running Northern Soul night ever and yet he remains staggeringly modest.

Listen in to Ady and Pete talk about the joys of dancing on your own without having to worry about a partner, and how selling records for a few bob’s profit as a kid led to buying whole catalogues with exciting tape hauls.

That was really good. A few of the other Ace Records podcasts also look interesting although not that many appear to be soul related particularly.

Been exploring the others too, most are not of that much interest to soul fans but the Motown one episode 19 is very good too. "Roger Armstrong & Kevin Howlett discuss their re-vamping of the original Sound Of The R&B Hits compilation." https://acerecords.co.uk/features/the-ace-records-podcast/the-ace-records-podcast
