Great atmosphere last night, no soul snobbery just an open minded crowd well up for it.

Merry Clayton really took the roof off for me!

Might see you down at Empty Bottles on 9th March if you can make it, mate.

Yep I'll be there............I'll be in Empties version of "Wrinklies Corner"

Been playing Merry awhile now but still gets a great reaction.........quite right too.

Great spot Martyn. Read the crowd really well and kept the floor full.

As always I like to give our guests freedom to play what they want within the bounds of what we advertise genre wise - thought you and gumbo did that superbly, with crowd in mind and managing to stamp your own on your sets!! Top notch, couldn't have asked for more.

Hi Jamie.I've got a feeling the Soul Kitchen is a totally different take.Sorry for off topic chaps.

yes with a vaguely familiar nod to the version youve got

Edited February 17, 201411 yr by JNixon

That's got me scratching my head now, ive held the soul kitchen one and the clevetown one and I know ive got something else by him on palos, now where is it

It's a much tougher sound and vocal take on Palos, yeah. 

And I have a copy here if anyone is interested in making an offer (Via PM).
