Hi I'm Dekka(Derek) Born Kidsgrove S-o-T into soul music in 1966 as i first visited the Golden Torch and progressed to other venues including The Twisted Wheel amongst the many that grew up as time went on and Soul developed more and more into what we have today a vast variety of types and tempos to satisfy any soul followers preferences.What we have today could be considered  just as great as it was back then we have more now and also more venues to choose from.Still dancing after all this time to my oldies but love the modern type and of course the ever green Tamla Motown.Hoping for a few more years yet and to enjoy listening to my music.Dekka.
