Shake it on down!


Since February Elaine and I have been busy, with our friends Vir, Oscar and Jesús, organising the Soul Ska Shakedown nights.

Playing everything from The Flirtations to The Freestylers, these parties in a basement bar have been a real success, with 100+ people coming along to each one and the bar twice selling out of beer.

Before continuing, my THANKS in big letters to:

- Elaine and Jesús, for the publicity work and encouragement which has made the Shakedowns possible.

- Oski, for giving me a break and letting me effectively complete my DJ training alongside him. Soulboy!

- All our friends and contacts here who have come along to - as a great man once said - 'shut up, listen, and dance' - especially Carolina, Michael, Florent, Adam, Sarah, Diego, José & Marzia from Pupa Tattoo, Isaac and Marta.

The Soul Ska night has its own website with sample tracks, videos and pics. Take a look and a lsiten, tell us what you think. What other tunes should we be playing? GG

And we hope to see you at...
