For the last 18 months or so I've been co-promoting "GIVE IT SOME" and "100%DYNAMITE" (SoulJazzRecords' Edinburgh clubnight) with DJ RED6. Both nights run every 4 weeks on consecutive Saturdays @ the Bongo Club in Edinburgh.... For those who don't know about the Soul Jazz and Studio One Compilations, check www.souljazzrecords.co.uk .... "GIVE IT SOME" gets hot and sweaty as the name suggests with DJRed6 digging relentlessly around his box of 45s for a fine selection of Funk, Soul & Jazz to keep the feet moving! Decoy Roy keep things irie in the lounge selecting Reggae, Roots, Ska & Dub - Check www.myspace.com/giveitsomefunk for complete listings of all 100%DYNAMITE & GIVEITSOME events.
