So after putting on the Music Machines gig last month I’ve got my next event coming up in Feb 2010. I’ve always been a fan of the UK alldayer’s so I’ve decided, with the help of some friends, to put the first NZ Soul Alldayer together for Feb 2010. You can head over to the NZ Soul Alldayer website for all the details including the killer lineup of DJ’s we’ve got on board for the gig.
This is the first NZ Soul alldayer and we’re giving the DJ’s a chance to play their interpretation of “Soul” music be it Soul classics, UK Soul, Boogie, Modern Soul, Disco, Northern Soul etc. For me Soul music has influenced and continues to impact on so many genres of music that we decide to let the DJ’s dig deep in to their crates and have some fun. The day is not just about “60’s Soul” but will really celebrate the music of the last 50 years. I’ll keep you all updated with all the details of the event, I’m still pretty new to putting on these kind of gigs so am always learning new skills and ways to deal with the challenges this kind of gig throws up. It’s gonna be a really fun day with some amazing music so come along and celebrate with us, gotta love a Soul music party!
I’m also really excited to be putting on the NZ premier of the new Bill Withers movie “Still Bill” which we’ll be showing the Thursday before the alldayer at the Academy cinema in Auckland. I’m a huge Bill Withers fan and it’s cool to be able to put this together with the help of Roco films in the US. I’ll let you all know once the tickets go on sale as we only have 200 seats and I’m expecting it to sell out fast.
