It was really hard to record this show, very emotional. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

The least i can do Pete at this very sad time. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

I recently sold my second Joann Courcy a few weeks ago for £1,000.00 the first copy went many years ago for £275.00 (those were the days) so i was right on the money there with that, interesting it went to a guy in New York too, had Brooks Brothers as well and feel thats a good price for it. Swings and slides this record collecting lark.......but good fun...lol Regards - Mark Bicknell.

I will be dedicating this coming Sunday's Soul Shack - Sunday July 9th in memory of Emanuel Laskey, Nige Shaw and Paul Walker, paying tribute to the awesome talent of one of Detroit's finest singers playing several of his great recordings at the start of the show, i was gutted about Nige and missed his funeral due to being away with my family in Florida, Paul Walker was a great guy who i worked with at Butlin's about twenty years ago both will be sadly missed so i thought it was the least i could do in dedicating the show to them. My thoughts are with all the families and friends at this very sad time. www.solarradio.com CHANNEL 0129 SKY DIGITAL - 8PM - 10PM UK TIME AND 9PM - 11PM CENTRAL EUROPE - www.solarradio.com Also will be reviewing three new cd's including the superb Grapevine La Beat Records Detroit compilation and a couple of new titles via Goldmine/Soul Supply.

PLAESE NOTE THAT THIS SHOW WILL BE GOING OUT TONIGHT SUNDAY JULY 23RD FROM 8PM www.solarradio.com - THIS SHOW SHOULD HAVE BEEN BRAODCAST ON JULY 9TH - SORRY FOR THE MIX UP BUT IT'S SO IMPORTANT THAT THIS SHOW GOES OUT - MANY THANKS.

If It's All The Same......lol i'll stick with my white demo......to confusing this...lol Mark Bicknell.

I'm lost for words i really am, sleep well Nige. Mark Bicknell.

I don't know what to say i really don't no what to say............Be at peace Nige, I had a few good nights out with Nige Brown and Nige in recent years, loud shirts, loud music, always had a beer or six, always put the world to rights on the way home, had a brilliant weekend down in Weston Super Mare a few years back, fantastic company, more beers...gotta go i'm breaking up inside.......... Mark Bicknell.

Yeh, sometimes the mere mention of a tune or a show in interest in one on here and you are buggered....lol hope you grt it mate. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

There has been a demo and a stock/issue in Ebay recently, i got the issue for £29.00 not sure what the demo went for but i reckon it's a tune that will pop up on there from time to time, i sold my old copy to a mate sorry otherwise you could have had it, just got a cleaner copy, great record.

kev, I was going to say that....lol beautiful tune. Mark Bicknell.

I'll leave it to you Steve to plug all you like on July 2nd, then i can give it my full attention leading up to the event.....then Barry can take over when he comes in....lol Looking forward to it mate, Regards - Mark Bicknell.

You are a gentleman Paul, i think i've pretty much repeated your requests in recent shows....lol if not coming up soon mate, i will be at The Orwell Mini Allnighter on August 25th and hope to be out and about on a more regular basis soon, thanks for your support and kind words it makes it all worth it. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Taken in the genuine way it was written, no i did not mean personal attacts at me directly as such as i really don't care that much on a personal note, i meant simply that the general negatives on here sometimes are a little over the top, it has a habbit of getting too personal with hidden agendas and perhaps personal axes to grind, so if you do have something good, decent or constructive to say it can sometimes get lost in the mix. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

I just played The Winstons - 'Color Him Father' and it makes it all worth while really don't it.....lol Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Personally i post less on here than i once did mainly due to the pontifcating, personal digs etc. that seem to go on almost on a daily basis, the bad vibes simply wind and stir people up and some of us can't be bothered to bite anymore, this should of course be about debate which can sometimes become a little heated which is fine but the direct digs and personal agenda some people have on here is far to sinister and frankly makes me nervous.We all try to contribute constructive threads and topics here to often be shot down by someone who thinks they know better when simply they do it to gain attention, make a name for them selves off the back of someone else often at the exspense of someones good name or reputation, create bad feeling etc. instead of being constructive, someone asked the other day is Kev Roberts killing the scene? my answer was NO it's bollocks like this or rather what goes on here sometimes is which is killing it, well for me at least. I hope Mike can find a solution with this problem. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Chris Anderton has now confirmed a visit to The Soul Shack real soon, show will broadcast July time, really looking forward to this one, more special guests to follow over the next few months, www.solarradio.com Regards - Mark Bicknell.
