just curious if they've ever been to anyones soul night over the years or back in the late 70's/early 80's. Paul Weller talks about loving soul and i just saw the video for "A Solid Bond In Your Heart" by The Style Council and they had a northern soul type event going on in it. Marc covers northern soul and says he collects, do either of these guys make it out to the floor?

Shane Mcgowan used to regularly turn up at the 100 club in the 80s..

Ady didnt always let him in though.

Especially the night he turned up with sick all down his front.

Think he was there for a late drink really....

Shane even did the cloakroom at the 100 Club when I first started going (81-82). He used to work in Rocks Off Records in Hanway Street pre-Pogues and put me onto quite a bit of decent Rare Soul, so I think he was probably there for the music as well as the drink.

I met steve Davies in a Sheffield record shop during the World Championships in the Eighties. He bought so many records he had a guy with him called "Botley" to carry them all. He didn't say much to anybody, but his purchasing did the talking for him !

Apologies for doing this , but Paul Weller is the " subject " of this coming Sunday's " Desert Island Discs " , on Radio 4 at 11.15 AM ....

I caught the trailer whilst driving this morning , which featured a snippet of one of his choices , Sarah Vaughan's

" September In The Rain " ......

It will be interesting to hear what his other choices are .....
