Another gem and also very underplayed on Port is The Gees - It's All Over, top record proper Northern. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

The Jets and Chris Towns Unit are also well worth a mention from the Port logo, two nice records. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

£75/100.00 awesome record very underplayed quality tuneage. Regards - Mark Bicknell

Very sorry to read this Gene but your not alone mate as I think some of us are very much coming to an end of this long and winding soul road for a number of reasons, I've let go of several big records in recent times to fund my future etc. and it's going fantastic, still love the music, still collect the odd record here and there but the hardcore I must have it at whatever cost has totally gone, I admire and respect all those who are still totally full on with it but for some of us other commitments etc. take over, you are a gentleman sir and good luck with the sales, some will say don't do it as it hurts like hell but soul is from within and that will never leave you mate with or without a record collection trust me. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

All done and dusted now chaps we were a few quid short on the JM copy so I made up the short fall myself and sourced another copy, sent Gil a message that the record is on the way, your all brilliant. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

It was pretty painful to say the least just thank the Lord for those memories and many great records recorded over 45 years ago which kind of gets the performance last night into some perspective, one thing confirmed to me last night is that Duffy is a one trick pony piss poor and Ruby Turner what a pair of pipes saved the show IMO Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Big sorry to Gil and JM but one or two people did not respond to the original pledges so still sitting on about half of the money, perhaps the best thing to do is to return those pledges I have so please get in touch via PM or email bicknellmark@aol.com as one or two paid via pay pal and some by cheque, don't worry the money is sitting here in a jar but thought it best to inform You all, I'm not prepared to stump up the short fall at this time as I feel far from soulful,at this moment in time, again very sorry to Gil but we tried and failed. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

I'd rather they were not repeated as this could give the impression I'm still doing the show, there is no hard feelings or anything wrong I just simply don't want to do the show anymore. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Yes Don now finished for good. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

If there is a show of mine playing then it's a repeat show, I have infact finished with the show now, really have no idea why it's working through the internet and not on Sky? sorry. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

PM sent regarding Carolyn Cooke. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Sorry mate been really busy selling burgers...lol sent you a Christmass card to Coventry address, hope all is well with you mate, see you soon. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

I got a Gold one alway's thought that is a little harder to find than the Red and White one. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Just like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, let's hope for world peace and happiness in the New Year and everyone to do their own thing on the soul scene and perhaps all get on lol like that's going to happen infact more chance of world peace thinking about it. Regards to almost everyone out there. Mark Bicknell.

Tobi Lark - Challenge My Love - Topper holds the same backing track as Monique. Regards and Happy Christmas - Mark Bicknell.

Like some many aspects of this scene a fucking disgrace. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Wanted - Wigan's Ovation - sorry can't remember the title but it's the one about snow? must be in good condition and on the Spark label the one with Northern Soul written on it therefore it must be Northern Soul that is, please, please, please help! Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Many thanks for all your posts and kind comments, the first anniversary show which should have broadcast last Sunday will now go out this coming Sunday December 21st and that will be the final show, it's been a blast and fantastic fun to do over the last eight years but I alway's said to myself the day the buzz and enjoyment goes is the time to call it a day which pretty much goes for scene and DJ wise as I simply don't enjoy it anymore also other commitments with business, family and football have played a major part in my decision, collecting the odd thing is pretty much where I want to be now, again thanks for all your support over the years, seasons greetings. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Now sold thank you.

As of now the Soul Shack is now closed, there will be no further shows on Starpoint Radio from me, no major reason or drama for finishing it but just can't commit enough time to the show or the scene anymore due to other commitments, thanks to all at Starpoint for the chance to do my thing over the past year or so, The show lasted a total of eight years between Starpoint and Solar so not a bad run, big thanks to everyone who helped me along the way and manny many thanks to all those who tuned in. Regards - Mark Bicknell..
