Hi all. It`s been a while as usual. Just a few things that are going on at the moment you may be interested in.
The next Freestylin`event is on Sunday the 27th of June at The Mark Addy in Manchester. This will be the 4th one and it gets better every time. Great reviews from all those attended thus far so why not check it out. Colin Curtis, Roger Williams and you’re truly providing you with the best in Soul & Jazz in a great venue right in the heart of Manchester. See Rogers great Blue Note style artwork flyer attached.
Colin has his own radio programme now which is currently on the internet radio station Starpoint. Although there are moves for it to be broadcast on Solar radio as well…….to be confirmed. The next Starpoint show will be on Saturday the 5th June at 2000 hrs (UK time). I have the pleasure of producing the programme and co-presenting. The previous is available for download here.
Colin Curtis Radio Show No 1
starpointradio.com http://starpointradio.co.uk
Not a regular monthly or weekly slot at this time as it is hard to commit to the time it takes to produce but essential listening for all Fro-Disia fans.
Alas no Hilton Birmingham Weekender this year for reasons unknown to me, so we will be attending the EMS Weekender (Essentialmodernsoul) in July. EMS is the internet site forum for all things Soul scene in the UK and beyond. To give you an idea of it`s pull all the weekender tickets were completely sold out without any advertisement beyond the forum it`self. They will need a bigger hotel next year.
If you want to know whats going on the UK Soul Scene join EMS.
.
The long awaited 2nd Rafters Reunion will be kicking off at Manchester`s Band on The Wall and DJ`s will include Colin Curtis who will be assisted by none other than Mike Shaft and Hewan Clarke. Back to the glory days of the UK Jazzfunk era`s main iconic venues See the link for the site and full write up. That’s gonna be a cracker.
See ya soon.

Colin Curtis Freestylin Show (with Teecee)
Colin has been asked repeatedly over the years to produce a radio programme and as of Saturday the 8th of May you need wait no longer. The show is scheduled for 8pm UK time and repeated later in the week. Taking part this time around is yours truly.
I have played this game now for over 40 years it has become the soundtrack not just to my life but to thousands of others too.I have spent most of those years in the twilight hours in some fantastic atmospheric clubs from opulent to seedy with some incredible people who shared my passion for Soul Jazz House NuJazz Music.Over those years I have covered all genres of black music and continued to move forward as I have always found it impossible to stand still.From the heady days of The Golden Torch and Blackpool Mecca in the 60's and seventies,through Rafters Cassinellis Berlin in the 70's and 80'S to the Weekenders at Blackpool,Southport and New Soul & House nights in the nineties through to NuJazz and Soul of today.A time when I Dj'ed mainly in my own Bermuda Triangle of Manchester,Birmingham and Nottingham.I find that progress after the initial furore and impact of something new always leaves a positive addition to these musical genres.This for me has been the best ride and the best job that anyone could have.To be witness over the years to some of the best music of the US & UK presented by some superb innovation by passionate Dj's who share my ethos. These Freestylin' shows will hopefully include something for everyone at some juncture that has trodden this musical path for the last 40 years or at least part of it.The initial shows represent the impact of our current Freestylin' theme in the North and Midlands featuring initially the vibe of Tony Cooney the inspiration behind the Frodisia Sessions at The Hilton Luxury Weekenders in Blackpool and Birmingham who now teams up with myself and Roger Williams for Freestylin' @ The Mark Addy in Manchester.So a mix of all things Jazz through Soul and House will ensue. I just felt now was right to try and rededicate some of my time to Radio and hopefully some of you can join me
