		News:  Marvin Gaye Play Set To Open in Northampton May 2016
		
		If indeed "All about his Life and Death" should be a harrowing experience, sadly Marvins life was a cornucopia of ;drugs, sex,sado masochism , mental illness, depression,patricide,religous etremism, transexualism,homophobia and sadness.As a taster try some excellent reads ;David Ritz= "Divided Soul", Jan gaye ="After The dance", Frankie gaye "= "My Brother".On A lighter note checkout Soul Source ;" Soul Media .page; "Aint No Mountain high Enough" a video posted by the excellent Sunnysoul ,Performed by Dusty Springfield and ,wait for it Engleburt Humperdink, Dont laugh it aint that bad .LOL johnny Hart.

		I'm surprised a promoter has capitalised on her attendance :) For some reason I wouldn't imagine that would happen at Rugby or the 100 Club.

		Well said Nev and by the way she is a genuine sweetheart, she may not be the most knowledgable but is keen find out more and hear new (to her) sounds. Check out her Soul Mates series of interviews on You Tube with the likes of Eddie Hubbard, Ben Summers and Paul Thrower all well worth a watch

		Irrespective of personal ethics or etiquette ,underground v commercial etc ...Levanna ,(who I have yet to meet or even see at a venue ,so no bias here ) comes across as a real soul fan ,expresses herself with her dance moves ,like she's feeling the sound and not just trying to slot in moves learned from YouTube clips of wigan dancers . The tracks on this mix show that she is open to experimenting and embracing new sounds ,so for me ,whether you like or don't like her choices ,she is a good ambassador for those of us who like alternative from the top 500 and the nostalgia trip retro scene . I'm seeing a good amount of posts on forums from young soul fans ,expressing their thirst for hearing different sounds ,not just listening but also wanting to venture into the smaller rooms too . Active young soul fans ,who wanna hear and dance to my kinda soul sounds ,get my vote !

		News:  Sad News: Allen Toussaint R I P
		
		I grew up on the western edge of the delta south usa... a few hours from New Orleans When we were young, back in the 70s, we'd head over to New Orleans to check out the record stores, and go to clubs such as Tip's or other live music venues. I got to witness Professor Longhair, The Funky Meters, lots of Jazz at Snug Harbor and legends such as Allen T, Irma Thomas or Lee Dorsey. We lost a legend. We lost a benchmark. Brickyard Blues, indeed...

		not surprising considering the saturation of events on the other two nights of every w/end , where theres an opportunity people will milk it , know its sounds a tad cynical but theres loads of wannabee dj,s and promoters who want to do their own thing and sunday is the only time to do it ,
