Dave Godin - Museum or archives

[Julianb]

Is there one?

[Chalky]

I have some recordings on my mix cloud site, one I put up yesterday.

Richard Searling chatting to Swamp Dogg Jerry Williams in 1998 on his visit to these shores alongside Dave Godin.  Eddie Hubbard supplied the tape recorded by John Kerr of Shrewsbury.

The other is Pete Lawson interviewing/chatting to Dave.  This formed the basis of the articles in Pete's magazine the Gospel According to Dave Godin.

Hi all,

Yes, as Chalky mentioned, I'm in the process of writing a book about Dave. I'm sure I'll get round to uncovering the whereabouts of his archive, although I know there were some shennanigans towards the end of his life, so it's a bit of a mystery for now.

Meanwhile I've done a number of interviews with the likes of David Nathan, his business partner at Soul City, Alf, his longterm friend (who has refused to be interviewed until now) and others. If anyone has any insights into the man, recollections or stories, please feel free to get in touch (gareth_wyn_thomas@yahoo.co.uk). I've got a full-time job, so it's hard to fit the writing around it, but I'm looking at getting something published in 2020.

My main aim for now is trying to piece together his childhood, so if anyone has any contact with family or schoolfriends, that would be great.

Oh, great post of this Jerry Williams show by the way Chalky. What a great listen...Dave at his best!

Cheers,

Gareth
