EVENTS

North Devon Soul - Exeter Inn - Barnstaple - 1 March 2002

It's been a while since I commented on this but this goes out on the first Friday of the month and goes from strength under the new 'management of John Murch, Vic and Paul O'Brien. I've been here as a DJ and a punter and always is it a most enjoyable night. The following is a comment by Paul O'Brien followed by my playlist.

Thanks to all who were able to make it on Friday ! another excellent night !

DJs were Dave with a reggae/ska set that took all back to their youth club days.....Kev Goldsworthy played a
popular mix of 60s/70s.....next up Phil merrell with an ideal set....Brian Price with his farewell bid on the decks......John/Vic with their solid double act...finally, Mike Ashley with the highlight of the night.

A special thank you to Brian Price for his sterling support via the North Devon Journal. We wish him every
success in Bristol although he has threatened to call in when he can.

Nice to meet Eric Hall & his lady Liz...hope to see you both again on April 5th at our Anniversery bash.

Which leads in nicely for a few details...........

NORTH DEVON SOUL 2 November by Paul O'Brien

JUST A QUICK THANK YOU TO ALL WHO MADE IT ANOTHER IDEAL NIGHT !

A special shout to those who travelled a fair way to be with us including;

Mark & the Plymouth Crew
Martin from Liskeard
Mike & Domanique from Weston
Andy from Exmouth
Paul & Nicky from Exeter

Still a very busy night for a November when I understand the rest of Barnstaple was DEAD.

Nice to meet Howie and his mate from Braunton. Howie was the first to respond to our new email address when
published in the North Devon Journal (thank you Brian, nice to see you and you lovely lady)

Please use the email for postings/enquiries/feedback as often as you wish. If it justifies it, we could
even start our own North Devon Soul email group !

A quick word of thanks to Andy, John, Vic & Kevin (I can't really thank myself) for laying down some
excellent tunes. A good variety played....any comments welcomed.

John & Vic have not finalised the DJ line up for Decemeber yet, I will let you know as soon as I do
(although I have a sneaky feeling from seeing them deep inconversation with John that Phil Merrell (ex
Twisted Wheel DJ) & Mike Ashley (Life & Soul) may well be doing another double act in December).

Other does coming up include Cheltenham Saracens on the 9th November with special guest Ginger Taylor and
then the following Friday, 16th November its, Life & Soul Anniversary bash at Route 66 in Weston.

Finally, keep your eyes open for news of a NEW WEBSITE devoted to the soul scene in the south west...details
will be made available as soon as its completed.

Thats all folks, for the moment, keep in touch

Paul
