The DJ'S
This is a very rare photograph - there are not many in existence - Al Kinsella with his mouth shut !!
Alec is happy - he must have just been paid (he can now afford to buy a razor)
Paul Bramhall
AKA Bram - no not Bram Breeze (although after a few Guiness he does blow a bit)
After being away from the scene for a while (like a lot of us !) Paul is now building up
a nice collection of records (which doesn't always impress his wife Janet !!
Alec Southern
Alec is making a name for himself as one of the
best DJs in the area
We recently received an email from Alec with his thoughts on Soul Music.Have a read -
SOUL Music @ The Mecca
GOOD SOUL times. like good Soul sounds. are difficult to convey and communicate in words without perhaps risking boring the reader with endless superlatives, and so when I reflect about the great visit I made to Blackpool's Mecca. I remember, when I come to try and set down all my impressions that a golden rule is just to "tell it like it is". So here goes. & fingers crossed I can do it justice
The highland room had a huge dance floor, dim lights as well as ultra violet (you know the sort that shows up all the dandruff on your shoulders, and the fillings in your teeth),and the music was loud with a predominant bass amplication to hook the dancers
Soul is more than just music it is a life style An easily identifiable one since more than in any comparable field there is far less rigid conformity but the Soul way is a definite way, and I think this is an element of our music that does bring us all closer together far more than non Soul people could ever realise or appreciate
Kind regards ALEC
Bit deep and profound for me Alec - what were you on at the time ?
Al Kinsella
The Dancing DJ - if you want to have a good time - Al's your man !
Who's box is this - Mr Magoo's ? I think they need to get their eyes tested - that writing couldn't be any bigger ! But fair play - the choice of music's not bad
