Over the course of the afternoon, evening and night, a quality selection of hand-picked DJs reach deep into their crates to play many of the shades of soul music, from classic soul, rare groove, funk and boogie, to northern soul, proper disco and much, much more besides.

Mikki Dee
The She Jays
Pet Johnson
Ian Footitt

There'll be the usual array of excellent refreshments and delicious food delivered all day long from the fine folks of Laundry Cuba Street; and, as is our way, we'll also be giving away free copies of the 'Soultearoa Shakedown' fanzine, selling exclusive Soul Tiki merchandise as well as playing more great soul and funk music than you can shake a jandal at.

A true celebration of soul music, the purpose of the NZ Soul All Dayer is to bring together like-minded lovers of real soul music while providing an inclusive, family-friendly atmosphere saturated with beautiful soulful music.

And remember - soul music isn't a genre, it's a feeling!

Live: Silo Sessions Presents NZ Soul All Dayer

We’re back! It’s the final summer 2015/2016 edition of the NZ Soul All Dayer!

After successful shows in Aotea Square and at Mount Maunganui over the summer - and one postponed attempt at a Silo Sessions event earlier in February - the NZ Soul All Dayer brings its’ famously feelgood flavours to Auckland’s Silo Park.

Starting at midday on Saturday 19th March, over the course of six hours a quality selection of hand-picked local DJs reach deep into their crates to play many of the shades of soul music, from classic soul, rare groove, funk and boogie, to northern soul, proper disco and much, much more besides.

Also kicking off at midday and running throughout the afternoon is The Other Crate Record Fair. Set in the shady surrounds of ‘Silo 7’ (right next to the main stage) will be a bespoke selection of quality vendors with a wide variety of music available for sale - and all on vinyl. Bring your cash with you!

Of course it wouldn’t be a proper Silo Session without their famous array of market stalls, food trucks and wide variety of tasty culinary offerings from all over the world. The Silo Park Bar will be open throughout the afternoon.

We’ll also be giving away free copies of the Soultearoa Shakedown fanzine and selling exclusive ‘Soul Tiki’ merchandise at our own NZ Soul All Dayer stall. Come and say hello!

Weird Ways To Buy Vinyl: Murray Cammick

When I was at school my local St Heliers barber was the very hip Brit Barry Earle, who had cool vinyl imports and also managed local band Le Freme. I had joined the Atlantic Soul Appreciation Society in London and could not understand why I couldn't put my bright orange "UPTIGHT AN' OUTASIGHT" (name of fan club) sticker on the back of the family car. Anyway, Barrie put it on the rear window of his ultra cool mini for me.

I was in Melbourne ten years later (circa 1979) and I was informed that their punk label Suicide (that signed Nick Cave's Boys Next Door, but did not sign The Marching Girls, alas) was run by a "Barrie Earle", and I said, "That'll be my barber!" The Aussies said, "No, he's from London." I secretly thought, "No, he's from St Heliers!" That evening Barrie turned up at the Mushroom offices and barely said hello, but communicated: "Still into soul?" and in his low-key 'have I got a deal for you' manner took me to the boot of his car. He had some USA Hi Records pressings of Syl Johnson and O.V. Wright that he wanted to sell, so I paid him cash and we both lived happily ever after, I presume.
