Dome last nite, ok did say more details but will keep it a bit brief as going over old ground here as it was a case of yet another Quality Top Nite, Top Sounds, Top Crowd - if youve read the reviews over the last 2 years...well its still going strong. One of the UKs TOP events, its as simple as that. Playlists should follow soon hopefully. Great crowd there from all over the place, UK and beyond, good to catch up with stacks of people there and as always good to see all from all Londons quality events there, from the big ones to the small. Showing just how good and healthy the scene is down there. Way to do it! News: Prestayn weekender looks like going to be a right old shindig, read 700 plus tickets already sold so get over to http://www.soulweekenders.com Second week in March, great venue, great line up, low prices. Jo Wallace passed on word of forthcoming CD comp Soul Satisfaction - The Motown Connection Vol 3, the classy Vol 2 has already been lauded as one of the cd releases of last year. She ran off the listing and it sounds to me like its a going to be a sure fire winner. More details and hopefully a review closer to release date. Good to hear that some top North West Djs know the score with current going ons. If out and about and at any quality events, get your views in, use submit newslink on left, comments or just email them

Originally posted a week a go, bit out of sync due to crash but seems still valid news as seems that one top Northern Dj has returned his copy, as wants his money back!!! Four Vandals Well mentioned this a fair while back, but now it seems its official. The next Goldmine all-nighter cd, will feature both tracks by the Four Vandals. Apparently it seems that the source where they licensed the tracks from wishes to remain anonymous Comments are owned by the poster. We arent responsible for their content.

BTW, i have to say, that IF both tracks are levine made he did well compared to the below average shite he put out in the past.

Well after seeing there was much going on last Saturday night in London, myself and Louise decided to travel a few miles the small town in Desborough in Northamptonshire to see what the soul night at the Ritz was like. we travelled up late on Saturday afternoon, after booking ourselves into the local travel lodge at weekend special rate (£25.00 if you book on a Saturday not bad) so we would not have to drive back and both could have a drink. After having a few beers with the locals in this small town with only one cash point (glad it was working) and then thinking had we done the right thing travelling and booking a hotel but both off us were surprised at the venue, very nice place to have a soul night, much like a small Wigan casino, fair size dance floor, balcony going all the way round, large area to sit and a small bit for record dealers, the bar bit on the small side but did not take to long to get served and very good prices also, small modern room upstairs. As the night went on the music was right across the board playing modern right though to classic northern soul which makes a nice change. few face had also come up from the London area Johnny , Michelle, Reg and Dave Townsend, Ross . I think all in all it was a good night even 100 club dj and promoter ady crosdale was djing (must have been like coming home for him) so for a off the cuff night and with a small out lay very enjoyable night, we will go again later in the year .the only small think i would have said about the whole night was the sound system, music was not that load which was a bit off a shame, but still a very good venue and well worth a visit. by robbo (?) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Re: Desborough (the Ritz) Review by IanG on Jan 21, 2002 - 04:52 PM We also travelled down to Desborough again (from Langley, Derbyshire ) on Saturday night. We had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thought that Simon ? (sorry dont know second name) did a brilliant spot - playing a lot of my favourites mostly from the Stafford era I guess (somebody no doubt will put me right). Have to agree about the sound system - it wasnt quite loud enough with the conversation in the larger seated area sometimes getting in the way of the music. That aside, I think the Ritz is a great venue with a buzzing atmosphrere and worth travelling for, heres looking forward to the next one. Ian and Roz Gregory

Into the third year and still doing the business. A great nite at the Dome in Tufnall Park London with the CSC at full steam ahead, great spots by the residents, top drawer stuff by guest Andy Dyson, and Ady Lupton, crowd somewhere around 375-400 (a guess), dancefloor packed solid most of nite, normal top atmosphere, normal top sounds, a most enjoyable nite at one of the UKs top venues. More details, news, odds and sods to follow later Re: Dome Last Nite - Top Nite(Score: 1) by Soulgirl on Jan 26, 2002 - 06:19 PM (User info | Send a Message) It sure was... and for me it was my first visit! I was hugely surprised at the quality of the music most of which I had not really heard before let alone danced my socks off to so It was a real treat for me and I shall certainly be a regular now! It was lovely to meet you Mike even though you probably thought I should be in an Institute instead of a Soul night *grin*. Steve Scordas made me laugh by speaking into his dictaphone every time a record came on... thats dedication for you. It was truely a stomping night... I think I died and went to heaven
