Mike Terry ....UK visit?

[Owd Codger]

Just listened to an interview with Mike Terry, where he mentions the possibility that he might visit the UK.

Did he ever do this?. He sadly died in 2008

[Rob Moss]

No. Tremendous fear of flying over water.

[Owd Codger]

Thank you Rob.

You could probably make a good fist of  a " 100% Mike Terry " all dayer. What a shame he didn't get a chance to come over here.

[Rob Moss]

I tried on many occasions to no avail. I was hoping to get him to do a Q and A tour. Pie in the sky I suppose !!

[Owd Codger]

He seemed a modest guy but with a few tales to tell.

He was asked about Mikki Farrow records....apparently he was married to her, which he didn't mention.

I need to check Jack Ashford's book, but I seem to recall there may have been problems with Pied Piper and his connection with Ashford. His interview answer seemed to suggest that was the case..something like " I got out of that !!.."

 

But what a legacy of Soul music.

Chalky, that's the one ...Thank You

 

I was looking through some of your podcasts.....couldn't remember where the Mike Terry appeared.

 

Considering the length of his Music career, Variety, and Quality of his Contribution s as a musician, Song writer and Arranger, does he perhaps have a claim to be the GOAT of "Northern Soul," music.?

 

 

Thank you.
