Well Derick is an international man of mystery but my addled brain seems to think that was a separate project for Shades...in The Britons Protection for those who know your Manchester pubs. dean

Mr. Searling and myself gave a lecture on northern at the Manchester Metro University back in the early 1990's. The audience did go rather pale when Richard jokingly proposed a dance contest! Anyway I did have a transcript of this, including the tunes played to illustrate the development of the scene, but I let some middle class t**t have it for his Phd...and of course never got it back. dean

In the early 80's I was working for a co-op who were the first people to produce fresh pasta and other Italian food products in the north [pesto? whats pesto? its green?] Anyway at one point I was doing food demos in the old food hall in Kendalls [House Of Fraser now] on Deansgate in Manchester trying not to get ragu on the fur coats. Being a rather old fashioned company they had a phone in the middle of the store....with a direct outside line! No more standing in phone boxes on Boundry Lane in Hulme trying to buy the latest front page indie soul 45. Little did I know I'd be working for John and Marrisa [and Richard] four years or so later but then that is the strange nature of a soul boys meandering road. dean

The Voyage Of The Dynamo: Crate Digging In Outer Space A humorous romp through the Galaxy in search of an elusive rare soul record; or it might be about Manchester clubland in the 1980's. I don't know I only wrote it. Hi Kittens, Well after 12 years I've finally finished the book and while trying to find an agent to get a paper type artifact published I've made it available on Amazon Kindle. This is not your typical soul book but those of you who remember my stuff from B+S, Echoes, Mixmag, Shades Of Soul etc. wouldn't expect that. hope you enjoy DEAN added by site Publisher: Dean Johnson; First edition (2 July 2013) Out now via kindle @ £2.03 To purchase use links below Note: Can also use the below to preview read in place -
