TERRY JONES: Terry Jones has been spinning Soul to the UK Soul punters for almost 50 years now, having his own weekly London residency “The Norfolk Village” for an incredible 21 of those.

2003 saw the release of a tribute album to the venue, compiled by Terry. Released through Expansion Records, Soul Togetherness Presents Village Soul is very much a ‘must have’ for all Soul fans, and was followed up with another equally collectable set, when Village Soul two was released late in 2008, to much critical acclaim.

As a resident of the Southport Weekender for over 25 years, his sets were eagerly awaited at each event, and when this great event ceased to be, Terry continued his association with the event as a resident at the annual spin-off – Suncebeat in Croatia, LDF, the Liverpool Disco Festival with Mi-Soul Radio and the SPW Festival, in London.

He continues to entertain audiences all over the UK, including his own gigs, Come On Over  & Back To The Village, his Village Soul residency at Newcastle’s brilliant Hoochie Coochie, and Suite Soul in Scotland, and regularly spins around Europe.

Terry Jones plays quality Soul, in a style that’s all his own. He is referred to as the People’s DJ.
