Guest Byrney Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Good to see you both, and your right. Soul Power seems to be scrubbed from the texts.

Mark W Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Legend indeed big Rob. We were lucky enough to have him as a regular at our soul night at the Claremont for a couple of years. He really was appreciated for those epic tunes by the crowd and he enjoyed playing the place cause people were eager to hear his latest acetates and cover ups. Great times and great records. Used to be amazed when he would turn up with the records all loose in a sports bag! A top guy at top time on the scene . 3

Listening to these tapes/sound files again after all this time ( posted up by Chalky on pg 1 of blog) Av got to say that Robs playlist would still give us a good run for our money !! Big Rob on the job !!!! Edited January 23, 2015 by tfk 2
