Soulful Kinda Music

However, it would have been pretty much like re-inventing the wheel when a very good, searchable, database already exists on Mick Fitzpatrick’s site: The Night Owl.

Therefore just click on the link below and it’ll take you straight to his database.

In place of that I intend putting up a database of the various articles, discographies, biographies that have appeared in Soul fanzines / magazines over the last twenty years.

I’ve now got over 400 fanzines / magazines (Excluding B & S and Echoes), so as you can imagine it’s going to be a huge task to read through them all and list everything in them, but I’ll get there, and then this page will become a really good addition to he site. Here's some of mine:

As I’ve already mentioned, this is going to be a rather big part of the site eventually, so what I’ve done here is just a list of what magazines and fanzines will feature on the full database:
