Tony`s DJ Engagements Summer 2013.

I am pleased to announce several DJ bookings over this summer where I can guarantee you can get your chance to dance to Fro-Disia style of nujazz, Latin and funky grooves.

  

I`m often asked where I`m going to be playing so I`m taking the opportunity of posting up the dates etc.  I have my next regular DJ spot at Freestylin` on Bank Holiday Sunday May 26th  at Matt & Phreds in Manchester. Freestylin is into it`s 4th year.














Following this I have been asked to contribute a set to another Manchester venue at Soulkandi on the 1st June at their new home of Tango`s, Chapel Waks in the city centre.

   The last one in March was a great sucess for this long running North West UK modern soul night which is  run by Darren and Mark Stevenson (Soul Brothers) and features Geoff Allman and Mark Robinson. Darren and Mark are regulars at VYBE so I get the opportunity of working with them once again. Lookking forward to that.
You can check out their site at  Here









On Saturday the 29th of June I will be DJing at the UK`s longest running Soul and Jazz Funk night outside of London. Blackburns King George`s Hall which is in it`s 19th year ( I know because I went to the very first one), has 3 rooms covering Northern Soul and Motown, 80s - 2013 Modern Soul and Jazz Funk and club classics. I will be joing Mark Grice and Ian G in the Jazz Funk room. Mark and I go back a long way and he was one of the first people to appreciate nujazz etc. So I am please to be offered a spot by organiser and soul legend  Richard Searling to play a Fro-Disia set of nujazz, funky grooves at one of the biggest venue in the UK.

Sunday the 21st of July - `Summer In The Park` All Dayer.

The 3rd time around for this grat event on the soul calander. Once again the fantastic Dunkenhalgh Hotel, Clayton-le-Moors, Blackburn is the setting for a 3 room event of classic Northern, Connoisseurs Soul and Soulful House, Jazz and Weekend Anthems. In addition the hotel`s courtyard provides a cool summer bar-b-que atmospere with blissful music.
A big hit of jazz/nujazz n funky suff supplied by my good self in the Townley Suite. Always a great day is this with music all day and night. Take my advice book a room and take it all in. Great venue and glad to be involved.

 

So a busy summer of cool music followed by a Freestylin in August and a home town soul re-union bash in September.
