Just to let you know that Ive just found out that Hoagy is yet again in hospital, but this time it is something to do with his legs. Just got a CD of Hoagys performance along with Sids from Cleethorpes and they are thinking of putting it out on CD after it has been edited. The sound quality is superb as the recording was made through the mixing desk at the venue.

Building up to a big Nite at the end of the month, more stuff from those CSC people. With a look back at some of the sounds plus freebie news Tunes from the Capitol - 2nd Anniversary on the 30th Nov. In our opinion, The tunes listed below have done the business and had the biggest dance floor reaction consistently over the last 2 years. We decided to compile this list as a cheap advertisement ploy!! Cheers Mike,Right that explains that then. The D.J.s at the Capitol have provided the Scene with many great New Discoveries and have revived some of the Stafford Monsters (some are listed below) we seldom hear these days.

Quick Word on Broughton Wings Soul Nite. First time visit to this venue and a great nite. Held in the British Aerospace social club at Broughton near Chester, nite was a well welcomed change from the normal format of events. The club itself is a very plush venue that the words social club just doesnt do justice. Because of world events, there was a tightening of security but this was hardly noticable. Sounds wise, well few plays below but were talking about across the board feel here with all eras covered and not just the token 60s 45 as some "open minded " venues do, which fitted in perfectly with the venue and the crowd. As said just a quick word, but if youre after a classy nite out with some well classy soul this well could be your thing. Most definitely be returning and recommended. Couple of top plays from the nite from DJs Steve Thomas (Holyhead) first main spot Charles Johnson - Never had a love so good - Alston Soul Communicators - Those Lonely Nights - Fee Bee Jive Fyfe - If I had a Chance - Decca Dells - Thinking About You - Cadet Bob Hinsley Top 3 plays from the nite Bobby Rich - Theres A Girl Somewhere For me- Sambea Charisma Band - Aint Nothing Like Your Love- Buddah Vivian Carrol - Oh Yeah Yeah Yeah - Merleen Brian Ellis was on next but by that time was well in to enjoyment mood and forgot to ask plus memory let me down Soul Sam finished the nite with as always some great stuff Played a couple of Detroit 60s one offs - which sounded good on first hear one dodgy recollection was - Had a quick visual at one and tried comitting it to memory ! result was Marget Lettin - love will find a way - genloro but even now looking at it doesnt seem right at all, still its as good as it gets, treat it as a anagram challenge the other which after a determined effort to remember all 3 of us could come up with was errr.. it had the word angel in. Friday saw monthly local soul nite at Llandudno Rugby Club, Djs inc Mark Mac, Mark Morgan, Chico, Tash +, As always a good social nite, Sounds wise Oldies, Current , R n B and 70s Managed to grab top 3 from nite of Chico whos guesting at next Broughton Viola Edwards - love Me Baby TSU Tornados - Please Heart Dont Break - rampart st Jerry and Capreez - Shes Gone - c/up Sunday saw Soul Sam at The Carlton Pub Llandudno for a top local casual laid back pub quality soul nite.

The place to be for rare soul this weekend in the north west is the Greatstone Hotel, Stretford, Manchester. This weekends guest DJs are Phil Wainwright and Alex Jones, both of whom have superb collections - be prepared for some awesome seldom heard toons. For those of you who havent been its a cosy little cellar bar, not unlike the Beehive in Bradford, but this place is suited more toward the chin rubbers amongst us as there isnt that much room to dance. Another attraction is that you get a supper included with the admission.

Review: Wilton Niter Last Friday by Mark H Well seems like was a definite weekend and a half if quality rare soul is your bag. Onwards and Upwards! Mouse and Andy Dyson started things off with some class tunes, like Love Stormy Weather, that thing on Transitional "It Dont matter baby" that is the dogs danglies, Clarence Hill and some new discoveries that I didnt know. John Hosler was on next with things like "man from soul" and the great [need a copy] Tootsie Rollers "Give Me Love". John Britton played some great Modern tunes and Richard Caiton. Roger Banks played the great Charmaines "Standing in the need of love" and Soul Bros. Inc "Pyramid". Also must mention the mega Creations track he played. No idea what it is though, but it sounded like a Motown acetate? Chicago Shane Cox treated us to some mega Chi-soul like, Ernest Mosley, Attractions [June Bug], Del-Tours, Vel-vets [Number One], Perk Lee on Boss [need one of these too.]. Then over to the west coast for Ty Karim "you really made it good to me" Romark Saus was up to his great self and what a pity he hasnt the inspiration he once had to d.j. more, as the Wilton is really the only place you can see him now. Dittis of distinction included, Johnnie mae Matthews "Mamas gonna stop you", Lonnie Lester "you cant go", Demetrice Faire "young girl", Spidells "Dream girl" plus a few Motown goodies like, Marvellettes "only your love can save me" and Four Tops "I cant escape your memory" and staying with Detroit, Shades of blue "A way to love you". That left Bob Hinsley to finish off proceedings. Highlights from the three quarters of an hour we heard before myself and Chalky left were, Trends "Not too old to cry", Bobby Rich and Don & Ron. Great night as usual. 2002 dates are as follows: all Fridays 11 - 6 JAN. 18 MARCH 15 MAY 17 JULY 19 SEPT. 20 NOV. 15 Mark H

Review - 100 Club Saturday by Irish Greg The 100 Club All-nighter was one of the best Ive attended over the last year or so. The music was of a very high standard (even higher than normal) with Mick Smith spinning the newly discovered (Unreleased) version of Trick bag by CP LOVE and not Tommy Tate as some people are saying. Mick also spun the likes of The Inmates, Bobby Rich, Classics on Yang-G, Eric Lomax C/up, True-Image, Magnetics plus many more top raritys. Shifty was also on top form and spun some great new 6ts stuff that I have not heard before plus many one offs. Adey C. spun the record of the night though, unreleased track by The Charmaines (stomping Soul/RnB in real Dr.Truelove style). Adey also spun an unreleased version of the Classic Doris Troy track ILL DO ANYTHING by DEE DEE SHARP. Carl Willingham did his bit but I just didnt rate his so called RnB tracks (much to Early for my ears! Some sounding like 5ts blues) but when called upon he spun some nice rare tunes. Butch? Well nothing needs saying-The DJs D.J. really delivered a rarest of the rare set with Mello Souls, Tranells, Mayfield Singers, Nat Hall & many of his current c/ups. The night was also helped as many of the London crowd pissed it upearly on at The Pleasure Unit in Bethnal Green (Soul/Mod pub in East London). The 100 Club Atmosphere was great and that certainly added to the night, long may that continue. Remember I usually leave The 100 All-nighter at around 6am but this one was so good that at 8am I was still dancing to The Impressions while my mates were playing with paper Aeroplanes on the stage!!!. TOP NIGHT
