Hazel Dunmow

My love for soul music started at the age of sweet 16 when I worked up in London and most Saturday nights we would all go to Samantha’s night club off Regents Street. I then started going to the Goldmine in Canvey, Lacey Lady in Seven Kings, Zero 6 in Southend and the Norfolk Village in Shoreditch.

I enjoy twice yearly trip to Caister Soul Weekenders from 1988 to 2012. I also went to other weekenders in Poole, Bournemouth and the big Blackpool international soul weekend.

I joined Soul Groove Radio team in February 2020 as admin and really enjoy promoting and advertising the station, shows, DJ’s and merchandise. I have now joined the DJ team and do Saturday afternoons 4-6pm for the ‘Soul Administration’ show.

‘I love organising all the SGR events (from finding venues, arranging the dj’s, all social media advertising) and seeing all happy smiling faces from people that attend our events says it all that the work put into these events pays off’
