Hello and welcome to " chalky's " myspace. I'm from the UK. A DJ and promoter on the northern soul scene. I've been into this wonderful music from the age of 12yrs when i came across some 45s from my brother's collection. I got more involved into the music when i started hanging out with a group of mods from Birmingham and going to the outrigger on a Saturday afternoon , really proud i was a mod! and yes thats where i got my nick name Chalky from.
I Consider myself young enough on today's Northern soul scene to take the music into the future with promoting northern soul venue's in the uk and also working with Detroit artist's like The motown Group " The Elgin's" who I act on behalf for them as there UK Booking agent / Manager and hopefully writing and producing some new recording's with them. I Have also hopefully reformed another group from Detroit " The Fabulous peps " and very much looking to bring this group over to the uk. If anyone is interested in booking The Elgin's or The Fabulous peps please get in touch. Also i love DJing so any booking enqueries please feel free to contact me at
