Press
The Ritz
1985

From Breakout music paper July '85.Just thought I’d throw this one in as it kinda shows how things typically ran in the north west before the rise of D.J. culture , and although I don’t know who this D.J. fella Jules is/ was at his “premier fun pub” , it seems par for the course of how the buzz of records spread in lots of clubs. They would often first get an airing on the dancefloor, where you got educated , and then passed on by word of mouth, rather than hearing it first on radio; hence how clubs like Legends, The Ritz et al operated, and produced weekly playlists. I believe Southport is a real hub of Northern Souldom these days....
