I wouldnt class wally francis as a northern soul dj with his lap top / tapes & lp`s I think a lot of people get him confused with WALLY BLACK a northern soul Dj since 1970 and is most proberbly responsable for bringing northern soul to the north east in the 70`s ( wally francis used to go to listen to wally black play in the youth clubs in the late 70`s / early 80`s when he was just a young pup ) A lot of people do get wally francis mixed up with wally black But the name is where it ends i`m afraid , wally black has one of the finest record collection`s i have ever seen with some 5000 + 7" record`s and his knowledge of the music is second to none ! No disrespect to wally francis but the people here in middlesbrough do not rant / rave about him as they do about wally black ...............

I for one am dissapointed that I can't get to this due to the beacholme being on the same night. I heared about it through a friend who works with a Middlesborough lad ( working near Grimsby)who highly recommends this event. Is it a monthly event as I've been told ? this is one of my must visit venues for this year. I hope the night is good.

You won't be dissapionted as this venue is second to non as it's an old music hall that's been refurbished to it's former glory.
We plan to run event's every few month's the next being in July and we are also in talk's about bringing some other great live act's over from the USA, it look's like we have the great Melvin Davis already pencilled in for September.
I will post more dtails nearer the date and you can also find event details on Soul Source.
Regards
Wally Francis
