We are unveiling a blue plaque in Sheffield in tribute of DAVE GODIN. Dave adopted Sheffield as his home and was actively involved in both the soul scene locally and globally. This is the first time he has been recognised for his huge contributions to the Deep soul and his longstanding connection with Tamla Motown and other genres of black music. Anyone with any love of the music should be aware of Dave's influence.

You are all welcome to attend this event in Sheffield at the Picket Music Park, Charter square in Sheffield. We will be holding a small tribute at the Frog & Parrot nearby where we will be playing some of Dave's deep soul.

Please try to join us in the important milestone
