Orwell Review Oct 2000

Lookback at The Orwell Oct 2000

thanks go out to bob cosby for letting us use his review posted on ems soul list

Just a brief write up of the happenings at soul Xpression at the Orwell last night ;

We had 125 paying punters through the door , Paul Hawkins played the first hour with some good contemporary stuff , the night was billed as the Official Yarmouth warm up and as such featured myself , Steve Guarnori , Gavin Page + Steve Plumb , Dean Turpin was doing cracking business at the record bar knocking out the re-issue "Spread Love " album at £12 and the Tim Kepler CD amongst others.

Some tunes played on the night that were retained in the grey matter after 5 pints took their toll (I can't keep up with William Hague).
