to be honest djs like tony dellar are one of the reasons i stopped going to local soul nights if your happy hearing the same 50 records played over and over and want to live in a time warp of 30 years ago thats fine but to me the rare /northern soul scene as always been about progressing and wanting to hear something differrent. there are literally thousands of good 60s and 70s records that have only recieved minimul plays .
in my opinion the one dj who has been the mainstay over the last 20 years is without a doubt mark dobson (butch) his ability to find and play good quality soul records is head and shoulders above the rest
