SOUL lovers are in for a treat on July 31 with the first Summer in the Park All-dayer at the Dunkenhalgh Hotel, Clayton-le-Moors.

For 12 hours there will be some of the top soul DJs recreating the sounds of the legendary Ritz from the 1970s.

There will be three rooms, each with their own distinctive sounds; the Pendle Suite for the Ritz revival with a ’60s and ’70s playlist; the Towneley Suite for soulful dance, jazz and rare groove; and the Library for crossover and collectors’ soul.

Among the DJs taking part will be original Ritz DJs Norman Jay, Colin Curtis, Paul Schofield, Neil Rushton and Richard Searling.

Also included in the line-up are Dean Johnson, who will be doing a Parkers revival set and Jim Hargreaves from Seductive Soul.
