Great set Russ

Cheers Kev

Great set Andy, as always

That's the right price, probs even a bit too low

Sad news Barry Hines has died, totally distraught, Tarn lads of an age will know how I feel today,

Not many about these days mate, price of quality tunes these days are skyrocketing, will stick with mine methinks

You will be lucky, I wouldn't part with mine

Thanks mate, massive feedback about next week, obviously not on soul source but facebook and personal messages have been fantastic, I only post on here now for you and other people not on facebook, a new breed is taking over, cheers dekka

Andrew and Eileen Vasey asked me to post this on here As always, thanks to Dekka for last night - exceptionally high standard of music all evening.

Lavern Baker: Love me right Ike Turner: Rock-a-bucket Chris Farlow: Voodoo Baby Washington: I've got a feeling Joe Simon: I got a whole lot of lovin' Maximilian: The snake Jimmy Nolen: Wipe your tears Buddy Johnson: Why don't cha stop it Registers: Sweatin' Mark Murphy: Why don't you do right Milton Grayson: It ain't necessarily so Big Bo & the Arrows: Big Bo's twist J.B.

Looking for a copy of this Buster's All Stars - Cincinatti Kid - BLUE BEAT 342 cheers

If ya wanna know then go, I would gladly help locate an event for you on any particular weekend of your choosing just send me a pm, what I would say is don't just look at RnB events but also look at the more focussed 'Mod' events. There is a subtle difference and both compliment each other as you have a more varied DJ listing so as not to become same old names same old faces just doing the rounds

Brilliant Andy
