Greg Belson hosts this monthly excursion into rare soul, raw funk and other wild madness from the 1960-70′s. All the tunes are are from 45 RPM discs selected for your listening pleasure. And this month, we have a very special extended 45′s of Fury show planned….2 hours dedicated to the heavy dancefloor spins from the northern soul sceme. This months special guest selectors are DJ Bywell, Nancy Yahiro and Andy Cobb.
DJ Bywell is a Laguna Nigeul transplant by way of Leeds UK, and has been a devotee to the soul scene all of his adult life. He attended the infamous Wigan Casino Allnighters for 5 years solid and trod the boards hard whilst picking up so many quality tunes in the record bars. He’s DJ’d at Brighouse and the Peacock, Leeds in the UK before moving to the United States, where he’s DJ’d various venues around Los Angeles, as well as arguably the best weekender in the US, the Seattle Soul Weekender.
