Extremely sad news. Sean put on a brave face until the bitter end, & this is the lasting image I will have of him, when against all odds, he attended his beloved North Lancs Soul Festival, hard as it was for him, he was determined not to let his illness get one over on him, & it didn't that day. It was a tough emotional day, with some smiles, a few giggles, & he even stopped the traffic when his wife, Sharon, came to pick him up and we gave him a fanfare of applause when he moved off ... and we applauded the cars behind him for waiting and not losing their rag. Sean you were a kind loving man who will be missed by everyone who knew you. Morecambe will not be the same, but your memory will live on. Rest in Peace dear Sean. Deepest condolences to his family & close friends at this painful time With love & Sympathy Alison xxx

This heartbreaking news still hasn't sunk in yet As so many have said, he was a top guy, Sheffield's finest, & will be missed by all who knew him. Rather than try put into words how great he was, thought I would post a couple of pictures instead. One showing Joe at his best with his gorgeous smile (sorry Becky, I know you dislike your photo being taken, but it's a really great one and too nice not to share), & the other one is Joe larking about which we loved him for Sending love & condolences to Becky, Amy, all the family & to Joe's closest friends at this painful time. Joe - Rest in Peace my friend & see you later Ali xxx

Wow! that was close Mick! Cheers for the info All is well here thanks, hope you are too Will try my best to get along to Stubbshaw, it's been on my radar for a while now Take care Mick & will hopefully see you in December Regards Ali

Mick, How far was the Brick House from the Casino site? I wasn't really interested in the Casino when I was attending Tonys Empress, Bradford Queens Hall etc but I am now curious to know that when attending your superb after parties how close I was to the Casino Cheers Ali

Oh blimey, what a great shame. Here's hoping Marvin can recover from TMJ & sing once again. Will still be there on the 15th, & I don't need a refund of any sort, please put it towards the next act Chin up Ali x

That is a superb read Dave! & what a great interview (I could almost feel being in Chi-town with you ha ha, I wish!) Can't wait to see him perform on the 15th!! Like others have mentioned, the Darrow gig was excellent, Debbie Taylor was sensational (& one of the best live artists I've ever seen!) so Marvin's gig is bubbling up to be another great success for The Wilton Soulful Sessions. See you all in November, I'm soooo excited!!! Ali xx

As I'm away when the film is first screened in Leeds, I was left with 2 options Everyman Cinema (a new flash Leeds cinema complex) on 22nd or Hyde Park Picture House (a 1914 Grade II listed building) on 23rd. I opted for the latter & when I went to buy my tickets this morning the guys let me look round, so I could choose & try out my preferred seats, I couldn't reserve them though & have to queue early like the good old days. Eeh, I can't wait to see the film in the Picture House & no doubt get a numb bum in the process. If any Leeds folk read this hurry up & get your tickets .... But don't you dare get there earlier than me & nick my seat !!!
