DAVE CUMMINGS NORTHERN SOUL SHOW

DAVE CUMMINGS NORTHERN SOUL SHOW

WITH DAVE CUMMINGS

---

Dave first discovered northern soul as a fourteen-year-old teenager when his best friend told him about the music. As soon as he heard some of the tunes, he was well and truly hooked and very quickly became a devoted ‘Soulie.’
He spent his early teenage years buying, borrowing and swapping records and going to as many local venues as possible to hear this great music played out.
He visited the hallowed Wigan Casino in early 1974 and regularly travelled to it on the bus that went from County Durham, England where he lived. He also made regular journeys to other big venues such as Blackpool Mecca and both Cleethorpes Pier and The Winter Gardens as well as local northern soul nights around the County Durham area.
The love of the music has never left him and no doubt never will.
He first began broadcasting his northern soul radio show in 2007 on Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands with 98 QFM when he lived there. On returning to the UK a number of years later, he continued to broadcast the show with a local radio station based in South West Durham called Bishop FM and still continues to present his show with them every Friday night. He also broadcasts the show with Love Soul Radio London every Tuesday afternoon.
Dave’s show is always a mix of the popular floor filling ‘oldies,’ as well as some rare and forgotten tunes from back when the scene was born. You’ll also hear a few Motown tunes that are not mainstream that get played on the scene as well.
So, if you like your soul music from the sixties with a great beat and not the ‘norm,’ move the furniture back, roll up the carpet and get your dancing shoes on.
