I first started getting involved with the soul scene back in 1976, Cleethorpes being my first soul night and my spiritual home of northern soul.

Since that first night I have attended some of the best soul clubs in the last 30 years: Yate, Stafford, 100 Club, St Ives, Wigan Casino, Wakefield Unity, Stoke Kings Hall, Sheffield KGB and Samantha’s, Whitchurch, Warrington Parr Hall, more recently superb weekenders at Cleethorpes, Prestatyn, Torquay, Fleetwood and fortunate enough to visit the brilliant LA and New York soul festival. I DJ every weekend and co-promote the Talk Of The South Soul Club at the Rugby club in Luton, running soul nights.

I also write a regular column for Manifesto and N Soul. I have been involved in vinyl since 1994 and now buy and sell CDs, and memorabilia. I pride myself on honesty and a very quick and efficient service.

I now work full time after 31 years in the Royal Air Force. Always looking to buy either single items or collections and offer good prices. I stock US originals, Reissues, Tamla Motown, 70s/Crossover, UK soul in all formats 45s’LPs and CDs plus some Memorabilia. I work very hard, all this, just to feed my DJ box, but I love it.
