Jackie Brown is passionate about northern soul having been on the scene for many years and is particularly influenced by the Stafford era and the time when 'sixties newies' were being broken. She has been DJing for the last 2 years and in this time she has raised the profile of northern soul and brought the distinctive sound into mainstream clubs. Many people have been impressed by the quality of the music and she is committed to bringing northern soul to more people. "Everyone in the world should know what Northern Soul is..."
Jackie Brown is different - In a style of her own she brings uptempo Northern Soul to discerning crowds. Jackie mixes up well-known classics with cutting edge retro soul. She cleverly includes funk, disco, latin, Hip hop and pulls it together effortlessly. Interacting with the audience is key to her success and she reads the crowd like a book. She has several residencies in Bristol and she was invited to play the Relentless Stage at Orange Ashton Court Festival this year. Her style of music is rapidly gaining in popularity as she continues to offer something different
