Jem Booth

Jem has been with Soul on the Edge since day one, the name “Soul on the Edge” being conceived many years ago when Jem and fellow “Soulster” Mick McNulty (Macky) used to run soul nights above The Edge nightclub in Poulton. Mick was eventually replaced by friend John Townend, another purveyor of fine soul music and the duo ran soul events at Kirkham Conservative Club and The Foxfields Hotel until John’s retirement a few years ago. Jem decided to continue with the assistance of experienced local DJ Derek Smith and wanted to run larger events so opted to increase the size of his team, hence the inclusion of Richard and Annette. Both on the soul scene too and highly experienced individuals in their own field. Jem’s motto has always been “If a jobs worth doing it’s worth doing right!” The Dalmeny Hotel weekender is testament to that.
