The craze for the South African instrument has reinvigorated Dublin’s efforts to market his own instrument, called ‘the dube’.

He made the cube-shaped drum four years ago and is convinced it will provide the next soundtrack for UK football.

South Africa’s vuvuzela industry is reported to be worth around £4.4m.

So, it is unsurprising Dion Dublin would like to be a big noise in this area. The former Sky Blues and England player first made the dube simply as a hollow wooden cube. Now he has developed it to include an internal microphone.

The dube comes in four different sizes and various finishes. Its inventor has managed to persuade musician Courtney Pine to use one and Warwickshire’s own Royal Shakespeare Company has used it in performances.

The sounds is said to be rather like a vuvuzela, suitably loud and buzzy to get on your nerves and gee on footballers.

However, one important thing stands in the way of Dion Dublin taking over the vuvuzela market: you cannot find his instrument in the shops. If it becomes widely available, we will let you know here.



After the movie hang out in the bar & discuss the film or treat yourself to a Fri end of wk drink

Trevor Nelson was presented with a Gold lifetime achievement award for his 25 year career in radio which began with the then pirate station Kiss Fm and now includes 3 national network r n b / soul radio programmes for BBC Radio 1 , 1xtra & Radio 2.

As his soul producer at Radio 1 for 4 years, it gave me particular pride and pleasure to see him acknowledged for flying the soul flag, on the same evening that the station on which I now present the ‘A Touch of Soul’ show, BBC Radio Derby, won station  of the year too !

how i wish i could have been sat in front of my uk telly at the time to see the cream of the soul scene strut their funky stuff…wish no more..the dvd’s are out !

The 5th Annual International Soul Music Summit
August 19th – 22nd 2010 Atlanta, GA
Hotel: Hyatt Regency Atlanta

The largest music conference in the world dedicated to the soul genre; the International Soul Music Summit provides mainstream, emerging and independent soul artists, retailers, consumers and executives with information, networking opportunities, and technology on how to build noteworthy careers while continuing to make passionate, timeless music.

28th april – 5th may 2010

Twenty years ago, a few of London’s pioneering DJs forged a blueprint for club culture that has since gone on to dominate the world-wide music scene.

The underground ’sound system’ set up of the warehouse party era exploded into the mainstream.  Soul II Soul & friends had instigated a global shift that changed the face of clubbing forever. Good times were had by all and deep-rooted reputations grew!

In 2004 SOUL II SOUL presented a unique addition to the international party circuit BACK II LIFE, ANTIGUA. A truly original breath-taking opportunity to experience the original vibe of the London club scene in the Caribbean.

We celebrated the 5th anniversary in 2008, now once again David Rodigan, Norman Jay, Trevor Nelson and Jazzie B will be joining forces once again to create another original feel good experience. Leaving the grimy, rain-sodden streets of London behind in order to take the party back to Soul II Soul’s spiritual home…

The Caribbean paradise island of Antigua; already famed for its breathtaking natural beauty. Make no mistake this is not a mass-market party destination such as Ibiza, Ayia Napa and Thailand. BACK II LIFE is a one week festival that will host a series of sophisticated events at some of the worlds most amazing and exclusive environments, combining Antigua’s stunning scenery with the unique sounds of some of the UK’s most influential DJs. By day you can enjoy sporting activities, tour the island, or simply relax and be pampered on one of the world’s finest beaches.

The only way to reserve your place for B2L’10 is here:

Each package is designed to provide exactly the right level of service that you’ll require for your trip. You will find all of the information for each package by clicking on the link below.

Back II Life offer a range of packages aimed to suit individuals, couples or groups of up to 10 people. Choosing the one for you couldn’t be easier!

Places are genuinely very limited due to the infrastructure of the island.

Interview with the DJs

This film was shot in April of 2008 in Antigua and goes someway to explain what this event means to the DJs involved.

It should be noted a rare occasssion to have the mighty Rodigan in front of a video camera, over his epic career he has frequently quoted ‘video killed the radio star’…
