Here
you will find a personal webpage dedicated to my taste in Soul
music. Mostly in the Northern / Modern genre.
I
came to know Northern Soul in the post wigan Era. Attending the
allnighter scene throughout the Eighties and early Nineties mainly
attending The Top of the World Stafford and the Nottingham Oddfellows
in Leicester.
These two nighters had the greatest effect on my musical taste
as well as being educated by a friend locally, the late Steve
Plimmer. Steve introduced me to more progressive soul, James Cobin,
Mavis Staples, Jesse James and the great Poet albums of Bobby
Womack being just a few...
Although
I will initially explore the past Nighter scene I will endeavor
to keep this up to date, with real audio from my personal collection
aswell as from one or two friends of mine. Any chance Chic?

great allnighters I attended were:

Rictic Review' and Chuck Jackson (who couldn't remember the
words to most of his songs )
Central
Pier Morecombe - Long trip but worth it!
The
