About Mark Swift

Mark Swift, known to his many followers as 'SoulfulSwifty' brings you the very best 60s, Northern Soul and R&B classics to get you up and moving on Northern Soul Radio breakfast show.
Leicester born and bred, and now residing on the South Coast where you’ll find Mark DJing from Eastbourne to Bournemouth.

Mark first came across the scene in 1974 whilst on holiday at Ingoldmells (Skegness) caravan park on holiday when a group of “soulies” dressed in “Spencers” (Baggies and circle skirts covered in badges) asked the camp DJ to play Northern or Motown, once I saw them dancing, I was hooked and Northern Soul was in my veins.

Spending a lot of his youth going to Wigan, 100 Club (London), Stafford Top of the World, Rotherham Clifton Hall, Winter Gardens (Cleethorpes) Hinckley Leisure centre, Notts Oddfellows (Leicester) to name a few and along the way I have collected many records.

Listening to Mark's shows you will hear a mix of great soul tunes Oldies, Newies, 70s, 80s, R&B, Motown and some fast, some slow, even great ballads. Always giving mixed bag of soulful tunes for your listening pleasure.

Happy to DJ where ever, currently resident DJ at the Emsworth Soul Club near Portsmouth.
