Jazzy D's Soul Notes

Hi folks,
Just to remind you that if you are in Brighton tonight I shall be spinning the vinyl at the Northern Lights from 9pm till late -

Jazzy D is in the house!

That was my tagline for the Feb 11,2012 gig.

Peter King – Ajo



Bishop Norman Williams – Hip Funk



Thelma Houston – Baby Mine



Tamiko Jones – Pearl



Patrice Holoway – Stolen Hours




Had to play some northern soul as some lads and lassie came in wanting to hear it. Luckily I had a small box of twenty such rare gems. Takes me back to my Northern Soul Days back in the 70s!!

Next up Bobby Bland, and a rare item called Showa.



Complete with original vinyl scratch.


Enjoy.

A comment from ba1126 has prompted me to view the Culture Show special "Keeping The Faith" on Northern Soul, a genre of soul i was deeply into in the early to mid seventies and as a fan of the music I use to travel far on weekends to dance the night away. Wigan, Blackpool, Manchester, Birmingham (which was the closest at about 30 miles from Rugby) and Stoke.I was never an energetic dancer like some of the guys and gals but i could do a few moves and the backflip.

Here is a very old Granada TV doc on the Wigan Casino, so i apologize for the poor quality video from You Tube.



Here is a more recent documentary on the club and the scene from a BBC documentary this year.




Keep the faith!
