Next release "Voxpop45's... keep 'em coming" said a certain Craig Charles on BBC6music's The Funk Show, so that's what we intend to do.

Its our third anniversary- Hurrah! Based at the stunning Bar Vivo, 17 Watling Street, London EC4 where we have been holding our regular first Wednesday of the month night since January this year (we were previously based at Nylon, and at the Old Blue Last long before!) Nearest tube Mansion House, Bank, St Pauls etc. and convenient for Thameslink and Liverpool Street if you are coming from out of town. DJs: Dave Greenhill, Martin Thomson, Mac and Paul McKay playing top notch mid to uptempo northern soul dancers all night, (with the odd beat ballad and R&B dancer thrown in for good measure) all from original 45s only. Plenty of underplayed and forgotten gems amongst monster classics and current biggies. 6.30 pm - 12.30 am, FREE entry before 7pm, then £4. Drinks promos seem to have been dumped but we weren't told so apologies to anyone expecting cheapies at the November night&not getting them, happened to us as well. Wonderful surroundings, superb dance floor and great company guaranteed. www.soulitc.co.uk Dave G 0797 1876661
