Thanks for the support from you all, be assured I am not out, just looking at a venue outside of Newark where quality OV can be played without the political crap.
The new venue will be totally 100% OV with a massive helping of lost and forgotten gems, this is in the planning stage at the moment but I hope to have news soon.
To dj's I have offered a start to I have today had a chat with my good friend Kev Such at the cracker and I have some good news for you, and I will be sending you all a pm soon, and to that end thanks Kev.
The new venue will still offer the same start for new dj's playing OV.
Once again thanks for the kind words and support.

It is with a heavy heart that I report the close of Smooth Soul; I once said that if any event I promote becomes political I will close it down. Over the past few months there have been more and more political whispers and mumbles over my choice to play only original vinyl after 10pm,so rather then see my hard work and the hard work of the other resident dj's dragged through the dirt I have closed.
I want to thank everyone who has been involved with the club over the past 7 years especially my good friend Gus with out who the club would not have been as much fun as it was, thanks mate.
To all who would have been attending our next night I am sorry.

I always rated 'long time between kisses' by bob brady but never heard it played ! Good spin caveman !!
It's a cracking tune well worth playing out as are plenty of b sides if only more dj's would have the nerve to give them a try, there are far to many play it safe bods out there.

In November Soul for Heroes will once again host the poppy dayer but that's not what this thread is about.
The concept behind this thread is to produce the biggest charity drive the scene has ever made, and it's so simple.
First I am not asking you to send money to Soul for Heroes this is something you as a club promoter or dj can do and all you have to do is put your venue or club on this thread and commit to do this one thing and you can make a difference.
What's the catch you say? no catch just a commitment, and this is it.
In November we a Soul for Heroes will host a dayer and a SfH "lite" night in aid of the poppy appeal, will you do the same.
More now then ever they need help to help the families and brave members of our armed forces.
Well that it all you do is hold a night in November in there aid and send them the cash, it that simple.
Who will join us at Soul for Heroes and commit to the drive
Thanks
Caveman

On the 15th of March I popped in to Boundary sound Radio in Newark to chat about Soul for Heroes, I also offered two tickets to Soul for Heroes as a competition prize.
If you wish to entre the completion and be in with a chance of winning these great tickets just answer this simple question.
What members of the Soul for Heroes organising team served in the armed forces and what regiment or coups did they serve.
Once you have the answer email it to studio@boundarysound.co.uk make sure you start the email with Soul for Heroes completion.
You will find all the information to answer the question on www.soulforheroes.webs.com.
Good luck
Caveman

Thanks for the suport for Rosie she is not a member of this forum but i will pass on all you kind word.

To you who think she's just a flash in the pan, let's chat in 10 years when she's still out there spining the tunes and your looking back wishing you had the gut's at her age to give it a try.

Fret thanks for the comments firstly I would love to see any comments on face book because none have ever been posted from me, when the rumours first started I contacted you on the matter as is my way and I put them down to Chinese whispers. Now I seem to have had the same thing said about me as you believe I have said about you, It sticks me as strange that when I ask people about this they have been told by some one else.
I have never wish you any thing but well with your venue and I have even offered to help in any way as you know.
If you look back over any of my posts I have not named any dj's or promoters I just said closed due to people not liking my OV music policy with them believing it to be political, and after receiving post's say my OV policy was putting Newark soul down, I believed this to be the case.
I still wish you well with your ventures and I hope they work out for you I have no animosity toward you.
As for face book I have deleted lots of Newark people from mine due to the amount of crap being posted from people trying to get a rise from me, I don't play politics.
I feel when you have attended any Smooth Soul events you have felt welcomed because you have been and I have always had a chat with you and passed time with you as friends do, and I have always found it nice that you have asked my advice and I have feely given it.
If you had known about problems you could have come to me and it could have been sorted.
As for my attitude to people do I have a bad attitude, or is it what people say I have as they may have the attitude.
I still wish you well in your ventures.
