Ask Gayle at Tolgas, i gave her all my Northern Soul collection off of my itunes, some great stuff on there, you wouldn't be able to keep your feet from moving.





Keep the faith.

Listen to my radio show every Wednesday night on ada radio from 6pm until 7pm. Its called Thumb a Ride with Max. If you live west of Girne its on 96.2 and east of Girne 93.8. Unfortunately I go back to UK for 6 weeks on Friday, but my fellow British DJ's on the radio (Terry Brown & Mike Schofield) will step in for me. I have 22 Northern Soul CD's and many other Motown & Soul compilations.

How about someone organising a Soul Cruise day or evening trip / Northern/Soul/Modern/Motown.

Are there any boats to hire that have music equipment to use ?

Had a brilliant northern soul/tamla night at the chateau last year. Shame we can't repeat it.

Anyone go to the Soul Togetherness Weekenders where Frank Wilson signed a copy of Do I Love you and sang live on stage, I think it was 2000. The event was filmed on Video, Snake Davis was part of the backing band.
