Paul Gray worked in the California Ballroom in Dunstable on Friday and Saturday nights as well as the Devil’s Den/Didoz. He was one the stalwarts of the Cali in the early to mid 70s and helped the place gain the nickname Soul City.
Paul was also a regular DJ at Aquarius Night Club, The Greyhound in Dunstable, Truman Gateway, Disc-a-dine and Drill Hall in Luton.
He gave up the DJ scene in 1978, claiming he was becoming dangerous from too many late nights!
In 2002, the website dedicated to The California Ballroom came on-line which brought him and his trusty 45s back to the music business in Northamptonshire and Bedfordshire.
The Soul Stew radio show is all about the very best in classic soul & Motown, northern soul and just that touch of disco and has been successful for a number of years now and it’s always great to get feedback from listeners.
