Please feel free to add  any of your own memories of Char and Kev on the soul scene.

My earliest memory would have been at the Casino early seventies then lost touch after we got married but ended up living opposite each other at Northdale Close Kempston.

it would also be good to get some indication of numbers that are coming either on here or via the event listing.

This is for a very good cause and ALL money raised is going to the charity.

Thanks chalkie.

A sad loss indeed, RIP Gill.

His father only passed away a few years ago, he was the first black player for Celtic and was tempted over from the American football league to play first in Scotland and later in England, I believe Gill spent some of his early years here in the UK. This was from a half page obituary I read in a Glasgow newspaper, his dad was know as the"Black Arrow"

Looks like they were both talented in different fields.
