Bill Withers RIP
such sad news. A softly spoken soul, with a beautiful unique voice. He reminds me of the other great talent Terry Callier in musical style. A great songwriter and a lovely voice. Harlem was always a fave, b side to Ain't no Sunshine which is a beautifully crafted piece of music produced by Booker T Jones. RIP Bill Withers a true troubadour.

News: The 100 Club Allnighter - 40 Years on by Butch & Co
A really nice article. So many memories, I was there at all those early venues pre 100 club, and then the first 10 or so years.all those years ago. Met so many people danced so much, heard so many records and sought out so many. A huge thank you to Sir Adey you are a true gent, and I agree the 100 club allnighters will have a place in the hall of fame as a soul club and for the records broken and played by some fantastic DJ's. Thanks to Eddie Hubbard I did feel like it was a Soul music world cup final, when Adey allowed me a DJ spot. Happy Birthday 6ts 100 club allnighters.

Ian Clark-top Man Or What
Top bloke. I first met Ian at various venues pre 100 club. I also went a couple of times to Yate but never chatted, but I also met him many times at various Record Tape & Exchange shops and we exchanged record talk he was helpful & friendly.. I don't know what he bought, but 45's- & 12"- both imports & the soul funk UK promos were in abundance. A funny story one night at 100 club allnighter Adey let a load of non DJ's have a spot, me included, as I went up to Ian to say hello he said " there's a right bunch DJing tonight. "I know" I replied "I've a spot." He was right but I enjoyed myself and even early doors a few danced. I've also bought quite a few sales of him in recent years always excellent condition and packaged. A true gent.

London soul nights in the 80s
A rich period of growth in life and soul. Many nights mentioned already, how could I forget the pre 100 club scene. Friday nights sixties rhythm & soul at West Hampstead a pub with a history of our music and great people like Adey, Randy, Tony Rounce, at the helm supported by numerous soul lovers so many drunken nights feet aching from dancing all evening. Ah memories. Simon Dunmore behind a couple of do's the already mentioned Jools winebar Edgware Rd great mix of deep and new release soul, but this was like many do's not supported too well. I remember seeing Sam Dee's at Dingwalls what a great night think Lou Kirton played there also. Dr BOB Jones was key influencing DJ. Dingwalls also hosted Talking Loud jazz sessions, brilliant dancers a good mix of jazz with a touch of soul went to nearly every one. Biggest regret never went to Village soul.

The Conclusion - Wilton's Soulful Sessions
Sorry to hear this. I travelled up from Sussex, it was a memorable event. The venue nice dancefloor, DJ's and Mr Richard Caiton, a true performance. We thought the attendance was disappointing, specially for you and all the hard work done.Too many nites? I don't know quality usually stands out. The DJ lineup I have not seen Arthur or Mike DJ and Sam since way back when, but following playlists perhaps expected selections were chosen. However brilliant to hear The Differences never heard played out one of my favourite tunes ever . Thanks again for a great night. Keep the faith. K.
