It’s not every Scottish teenage disco dancer who ends up being top of the Northern Soul scene, having perhaps the best record collection in the world ever or helping victims of the Philippines typhoon disaster. This man is Keb Darge, and he’s been playing records for years and years. His world famous Legendary Deep Funk night, in collaboration with Snowboy at Madam JoJo’s, ran for 16 years and he’s not ready to stop yet. Influential, knowledgeable and still thrilled and moved by music, he’s bringing his ‘50’s Rockabilly, Surf, R&B, and ‘Tittyshaker’ sounds to Bedford’s to get us all a-dancin’.

“The pop crap they would play at the local discos would irritate me”


Y


our career in music started as a competitor in disco dancing competitions in the north of


Scotland. How did you find your groove as a child and teenager? As a child in the mid sixties my big sister was a mod, and would play records in the house for me to dance to. In my teens I got into Taekwondo, and through that met some English lads that were into Northern Soul. I fell in love with this new exciting scene, and as a result of the Taekwondo became quite a good dancer reasonably soon. It was Northern Soul mates that pushed me into the disco dancing competitions a few years later. How did you come to move on to DJ’ing in the 70’s?
