Record Kicks have just pushed out news of their latest 45 from Marta Ren & the Groovelvets, full details below... Following on from her smashing tunes "2 Kinds Of Men" and "Summer's Gone" released in 2013 on Record Kicks, "I'm Not Your Regular Woman" - coming out dec 4th 2015 on limited edition 45 vinyl and digital download - is Marta's first single from the much awaited upcoming debut LP "Stop, Look, Listen" that will hit the streets at the beginning of February 2016. Watch the video directed by Marco Oliveira. "I'm Not Your Regular Woman" is a floorshaking cover up version of Lucille Mathis' sister funk classic and serves as a good introduction of what you'll have to expect from the debut full length: 60s pure dynamite sound! Marta Ren & the Groovelvets' 2013 appearance on Record Kicks has made a great impression on the funk scene, thanks also to the support of DJs such as Craig Charles, Dj Andy Smith and Dj Format and Marta is not a newcomer as she has been around in the Portuguese scene since the mid 90s lending her deep and powerful voice amongst the others to break-beat outfit The Bombazines, recording two albums and establishing her unique talent at clubs and festivals all around Portugal. But Marta's passion has always been for the deepest funk and rawest soul of the sixties and now, brilliantly supported by the super tight 8 pieces rhythm & soul combo The Groovelvets, the time has come for her to show the world her immense talent.

Reported that 'Soul' a new play all about Marvin Gaye's life and death will be having its world premiere in Northampton during May 2016. The press night is scheduled for May 24 and the play running from May 20 to June 11, James Dacre, the Royal & Derngate theatre's artistic director said to the BBC "It's a dramatic thriller, not a musical," and "It will have the spirit and energy of Motown and will include music from the time." Williams' play will be set within the confines of the Los Angeles home that Gaye bought for his extended family. "Whilst the piece looks at three generations of a post-war African American family, everything roots back to the home and what happened in the course of 18 days underneath that roof," Dacre told the BBC. More info can be read via the BBC and Guardian articles via the links below, with the Guardian being the more lengthy ...Williams says: “I wanted to avoid doing a standard biopic and play about with form a little – push myself as a writer and push the play. The play begins with his death and it works backwards, and it’s his two sisters and the ghost of his mother telling the story. It’s really about how they all dealt with having such an icon in their lives, and them trying to find their own identities and their own selves within the world of Marvin...” http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-34945808 http://www.theguardian.com/stage/2015/nov/30/roy-williams-play-marvin-gaye-soul-royal-derngate

Contained in this second various artists collection drawn from labels owned by producer Huey P Meaux are local hits, obscure releases that later became favourites an ocean away, artists whose careers spanned several decades without a national chart record and others whose time began and ended the day they cut their session for Meaux. Familiar names such as Jackie Paine and Warren Storm – both still working – feature alongside Tejano soul king Rocky Gil and veteran bluesman Joe “Papoose” Fritz.
