The Gathering @ the Basement, Hanley
And finally Dean Read; Dean was one of our first choices when we set up the night, playing at our first event almost 12 months ago. Dean's played just about everywhere on the upfront circuit over the years as well as being involved in the sadly missed go go children all-nighter in Bristol. Expect quality rhythm, soul and funk from a guy who always has something decidily original to play.

Would Soul Sam have dropped this?
Just remembered I saw him do this live at trentham all-nighter.

Quality! Those off kilter stabs work so well, his voice that ominous rumble of bass. Yes! More like it.

I'm not sure yet, going to play this more, before I decide if I like it. I was buying stuff similar to this 10 years ago as new releases, I do like the production and there definitely soul in there.

Steve Cato; Steve's nights in Manchester ' nothing but soul' and 'different strokes' for me and many others introduced a new world of music people and possibilities. Since then he's gone on to be heavily involved in the much loved Manchester international soul weekender. He's a one off, and sadly don't play out enough anymore, but you can here him in a certain dark basement this weekend.

Gaye kidson Gaye has been a mainstay of the west midlands rare soul scene for many years and played nationally as a guest at many events. Also a resident at the most wonderful dark horses nighter in Tamworth she has been a trailblazer showing the girls can do what the guys do, but better!

A little information on our guest DJs; Rob Powner- (aka twangy) Rob has always been I DJ I look up to, literally! Lanky git. 😁 It's fair to say Rob has garnered a massive reputation over the last 20 years as one of the finest mod dj's not only in the UK but also in Europe. DJing extensively at a rare of weekender event on the continent and in the UK, including promoting his own events, wang dang doodle and his most excellent Sunday sermon. Your going to hear some top class tunes your ears have never been near.

It was the delays track indeed that got me looking at the label, thanks for that. So a vanity label of sorts?

Just over a week away from our first anniversary event. Expect a mixture of underplayed northern, R and B, funky soul, garage and who knows.... The whole point of the event is to bring folk together, hence the name, Gathering. Different people djs and scenes together under one roof. Many come to hear something genuinely different and we encourage djs to play the what they want. The dancefloor and atmosphere determine what goes down. That doesn't mean you won't hear classics or great northern. Come and see for the sen's!

Thanks for the contribution so far, seems quite obscure for a label that put out so many releases, that's what peaked my interest. Lots are garage, but a lot don't have clips on discogs and many seems rare, any ideas why?

Came across this above label, from Florida? I think. While digging online, never heard of before but is does seem to have a lot of very rare releases. Many are garage but are there any good soul, funk or R &B sides on it? Anyone collect it or any insight?

Just where is NS heading in the future?
Mate when as the media ever portrayed the scene in nuanced and balanced way? if they call again tell them to funk right off. Whatever this scene needs or has ever needed it's not media attention. One thing old and young should agree on is the intention to keep it underground and not part of mainstream culture, that is the the defining element that's kept it alive so far.

Did James Fountain seven day lover change the scene?
Seems also to be a shift in tempo, or time signatures between the earlier period at the wheel and what was being played at the end of the wheel/ begining of the torch nighters. A good example is the okeh stuff, early wheel- the beat, rhythm ect opposed I do t want you more and sani Sheldon
