We had a wonderful time at Dublin's D8 Soul Weekender last Saturday, and our ears were treated to some incredible sounds. The afternoon venue, Fidelity Bar, in the heart of Smithfields, Dublin, had a great sound system and Lisa, Tony, William and Darren treated us to some outstanding tunes. Moved on the Rowing Club, D8, in the evening, which had a superb dancefloor, as well as a beautiful outside decking area to enjoy the last rays of sunshine. Anyway, this was my small contribution to that evening: Glen Miller- Where is The Love (Doctor Bird) Otis Lee- Hard Row To Hoe- (Quaint) John Bowie- At The End Of The Day (Merben) Frankie & The Damons – Man From Soul (JCP) Bobby Kilne- Say Something Nice To Me (MB) Silky Hargraves- Keep Loving Me (Dearborn) Jesse Johnson- Left Out (Old Town) The Blue Jays- Point of View (Jay) Betty Lloyd – I’m Catching on (BSC) Little Anthony & The Imperials-Better use Your Head (Veep) Tommy & The Derby’s- Don’t Play The Role (Swing) Eddie Daye- Guess Who Loves You (Shrine) Luther Ingram- If It’s All The Same To You (Hib) Roscoe Thomas- American Girl (World) John Andrews- It’s Just Love – Parlaphone Willie Hutch- When Love Runs Out (RCA Victor, France) The Harvey Averne Dozen- Never Learned To Dance (Uptite) Tony Galla- In Love (Swan) Tan Geers – Let My Heart & Soul Be Free (Okeh)

Awful News. I never met Timmy, but we exchanged messages last year as he was after a record I had previously listed, and he came across as a really decent, kind, genuine and passionate person. Condolences to his family.

Thanks pal, much appreciated.

Morning. I did ask around and we don't think there are any Soul nights coming up in Cork, unfortunately. However, if you check out Munster Scooter Club Ireland on FB, then a few of the lads from Cork, might know of something. Hope this helps and enjoy your trip over. Regards, Shane Thanks Roburt, I'll check out those shops next time I am there. ATB, Shane

Hi Wally, no worries at all. Cork is a lively spot, and I'm sure you'll get a warm welcome. Not sure about events, but leave it with me and I'll try and find out. Cheers, Shane

My pleasure Steve. I guess the Twilight Zone on the 19th October in Inchicore, Dublin would be your best bet. If you are travelling around the country, there are some lovely spots such as Galway, Clifden, Westport, Leitrim, etc. Think about flying into Shannon as well. Enjoy your trip and give me a shout if you need anything else. ATB, Shane

Hi Stephen, There are various soul nights happening over the next few months, with the vast majority in Dublin. D8 Soul Club, Sleepless Nights, Twilight Zone and Bubbles Mod club run fairly regular events around Dublin, but depends when you are over. There might also be events elsewhere but if you can let me know dates you are over, I'll see what I can find out. There are also regular record fairs most weekends, so again, if you can let me know which areas you are visiting, I'll try and source ones closest to you. Finally, you can leave the factor 50 at home, but just ensure you bring your rain jacket! Hope this helps. ATB, Shane
