With more staying power than ‘Ever Ready’ or ‘Duracell’ batteries Fatback Band’s funky ‘Get Your Head Out The Phone’, Leroy Burgess’s ‘Heaven’, and Beggar & Co’s covered Kool & The Gang’s classic ‘Open Sesame’, make their debut on this CD. The absolute album exclusive, is Louise Pollock’s amazing vocal cover of Aquarian Dream’s ‘You’re A Star’. Shalamar collaborate on Steve Silk Hurley, DJ, Skip and Shane D’s disco house remix ‘Don’t Go’. Representing the UK is Yam Who’s ‘bassically” undeniably jazz funky, remix of Incognito feat Carleen Anderson’s ‘Show Me Love’ and The Pasadenas lesser known but exquisite ‘Round & Round’. Worth checking is Soul People’s awesome version of Roy Ayers’s ‘Our Time Is Coming’ and the albums only instrumental Nu Era’s ‘Beta Days’. Dome Record’s Angela Johnson and Eric Roberson contribute to the USA jazz funk fusion elements and wait until you hear some amazing Macedonian jazz fusion soul from Vladimir Cetkar. These alluring tunes were handpicked for you fellow soul survivors so please ‘Grab It’ like The Olympic Runners (Bad Tune!) whilst you can.

Celebrating 10 years like The Soul Survivors Magazine this summer Margate Soul Festival Weekender had the best weather for the annual celebrations. In conjunct with Mi Soul Radio, Eli Thompson and Mick Bradley has tirelessly made sure they put the soul into Kent’s soulful seaside town pulling out a few stops. With the aid of my longtime fellow Knight Of The Cameo Sound Table, Perivalian neighbour and friend Cleveland Anderson supplying some of the creme de al creme performing artists, Jean Carne, Shirley Jones and CC Pensiton, the weekend was most certainly a festive one. Well done to all who contributed Dj’s, performers and audience participators alike. I had turntable duties at my resident Lighthouse Bar Friday & Saturday and a Sunday night slot in more intimate The Black Cat club. I certainly enjoyed digging in the crates on all three occasions and you can revisit or enjoy what you missed via my Mixcloud posts. here are some Slave “Snap Shot” moments with some of the artist backstage as I was working harder than Dolly Parton’s “9-5” catching up on the goss!! I gotta say a big thanks to Jean Carne who shamelessly plugged The soul Survivors Magazine on stage during her set when she spotted me in the audience. I was beaming like a Cheshire but was also slightly embarrassed, however grateful that Jean did that selfless act during her set. lets see if the subscriptions rise due to that kind of endorsement. I think I’d look at booking ya tickets now before it’s a case of a Jackson’s “Heartbreak Hotel” trying to find accommodation as it goes quicker than Usain Bolt !!
Jean Carn @ The Winter Gardens Saturday evening. Catching up with Kathy Sledge after her great showcase & hanging with the very gifted vocal songstress CC Peniston!!
“Don’t Be A Fool” to miss this one gig of BGT at Jazz Cafe. This will be the first of hopefully many a return to my old stomping ground of dj-ing since 1991 at the Camden home of live music. With a history gong back 35 years Loose Ends has a catalogue of rhythms that have always had just “A Little Spice” of a “Magic Touch” to it. Make sure you reach because “Johnny Broadhead” will be “Watching You” and please “Don’t Worry” it’s guaranteed to be a “Night Of Pleasure” 25th August 2016!
