Sir Lindsay Hoyle speaker of House of Commons

[Julianb]

Not sure this is the correct forum but I've just watched him discussing his love of Motown and visiting the Mecca and Casino in his youth. Ian Levine and Russ got mentions.

Does anyone on here remember him going to either? Just interested

Mike, please move if not in correct forum

Thanks for that in-site on Sir Lindsay Hoyle, would love to have heard that myself, what was it on as a matter of interest please Julian, i enjoy watching this guy as can be very comical but does not stand for any nonsense keeping the House Members in their place

Thanks for that Julian - just watching it now - always liked Lindsay Hoyle. Seems like a very genuine sort of guy.

and thanks for posting the link up Soul16 saved us all looking for it.

Well what can i say, what a lovely Human Being who like a lot of us oldies on here wanted to hear more of the rare side of Soul through the introduction of Early Motown in his case, and of course in my case Stax & Atlantic Records etc. as well, through going out there and checking out the Casino and Blackpool Mecca, kudos to  him.

What came through too was how much Sir Lindsay felt about the treatment of Black Americans as well as their Music which we as soul fans can relate to as well, Shame he couldn't be talked into revealing his favourite or more memorable Northern tracks he obviously would have heard at the Mecca And Casino as he seemed to know what he was talking about, another time maybe?

 An interesting insight to a man that i have to say i knew nothing about other than him doing his daily job keeping the pease in the House.
