Such sad news, top guy and top soulman. Paul will be missed by everyone who knew him, RIP. Tony & Lisa.

Thanks to Phil, Mick and Alan for their playlists---absolutely fabulous music, top notch all day.

Thanks for all the advice, sturgeon fishing eh--that sounds interesting! Really looking forward to our trip, I'm sure we'll find lots to occupy our time in this wonderful part of the world. Thanks once again for taking the time to reply, much appreciated.

Nowt? Oh well, we'll just have to make do with the maple syrup and grizzly bears......

Hi there. We're planning a trip to Vancouver and Victoria this Summer, just wondered if anyone knows any good venues, clubs, record stores, bars etc in the area? We've got a lot planned already including a tour of the Rockies but we've got some free time in both Vancouver and Victoria so if anyone has any suggestions we would be most grateful. Thanks in anticipation...Tony.

I have been asked by Stan Evans to post the following information: The Sink Soul Club will once again open its doors in the Summer of 2015. The club, now known as the Magnet, has been taken over by new owners who have undertaken a tasteful refurbishment of the premises and who wish to start up the legendary soul events once again at the club. The refurbishment has included the installation of a state of the art sound system in the venue and all works have been in keeping with the historic character of the club. Three dates have been booked, with more to follow... Sunday 17th May---Sunday Soul Session running from 3pm---9pm. Sunday 19th July---Sunday Soul Session running from 3pm---9pm. Sunday 30th August---Mini Nighter running from 8pm---4am. DJs for the two Sunday Soul Sessions will be Stan Evans, Pete Everett, Dennis Haw and Tony Brookes. For the mini nighter there will be additional guest DJs, to be arranged. More information will be posted as soon as it is available on here and in the events section, there will also be information and invitations posted on Facebook. The Sink is one of the last remaining original soul clubs in the North of England, this is an exciting opportunity to be a part of what will be a fantastic revival in this iconic basement club!
