Birthday remembrance to DJ Froggy (Steven Howlett -8 November 1949 – 28 March 2008). In 1978 he incorporated his sound system at one of Britains first soul all-dayers, the National Soul Festival in Purley and a year later in 1979 he became DJ at the first Caister Soul Weekender based in Great Yarmouth. He worked alongside DJs which included Robbie Vincent, Chris Rent-a-Santa Hill, Greg Edwards of Capital Radios 1970s/1980s Soul Spectrum programme fame and Jeff Young who all became known as the Soul Mafia. Froggy was the first person in the UK to own a pair of, the now legendary, Technics SL-1200MK2 turntables. He purchased them in 1979, during a trip to New York City (where they were first released) and had them sent over to England. He sadly died from a brain haemorrhage on 28 March 2008 at home. Some of his remix work included, Love Town (Froggy Mix), James Brown (Froggy mix), The Real Thing You To Me Are Everything (The Decade Remix 76-86), Willam Bell Passion, BT Express and many others.
