I’ve had a few LP’s out today, I enjoyed them so much I thought I’d share a few. Nothing insanely rare, that's not my style, but all great soul music. One from the late 60’s and the rest are 70’s and 80’s releases. Happy New Year to everyone, I hope 2015 brings you good health and hopefully prosperity.

I was kindly asked to play a few records at The Boomerang Soul Night at the Canal Tavern in Thorne. Rather pleased as well as it is my favourite soul night. Got the chance to play a few different records to what I tend to play at all-nighters and I really enjoyed it, so much I decided to make a podcast of what I played. Totally across the board with tracks 60’s throughout to the 80’s, some nice cheapies in there as well for you to seek out. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Cliff Steele's Lifeline of Soul


23705_1276109712049_1509174250_30733719_2138249_n

Ok it’s been a while and I’ve finally persuaded Lifeline Resident DJ Cliff Steele to put together a few tracks for your listening pleasure. Cliff in my opinion one of the best across the board DJ’s on the scene, can play the lot, 60’s 70’s, 80’s right up to today’s new releases.

In this podcast there are tracks from the last couple of years right up to the more current plays of Cliff. Hope you enjoy Cliff’s selection.
All I need now is for someone to show Mick how to do one of these

Come On With It

Final found time to dip into the box and pull a few 70’s dancers and Crossover tracks out for your listening pleasure. Unlike the (mainly) rarities in the previous podcasts, all these are pretty easy to obtain and in most cases cost less than £50 with many cheaper.

The podcasts kicks off with four of those funk tinged dancers that are all the rage at many venues before moving into strictly 70’s Soul, Crossover and dancers alike and finishing with a great 70’s ballad by Lew Kirton, one of my favourite 70’s tracks.

Enjoy :-)
