The Listening Booth


Dave D.
“As a 70’s child, I grew up listening to Motown via yoof club culture. I’m not a massive soul collector however, owning 60’s and 70’s original soul vinyl, you realise you’re the safe guardian of them before handing them over to the next generation; their historic cultural significance is priceless.

“ I was mainly into new wave and punk until I was about 16 when living in Birmingham. I got into the whole two-tone/mod revival thing in 1979 so really got into ska and Motown, but in 1980 started going to Wigan and that was it, I caught the last 18 months. Not only northern but then modern soul, funk, seventies, gospel, etc and always been rooting around looking for new stuff to hear
