    Ok looks like you are all as stumped as me then !!!! What about the cross-over / modern stuff ?
  6. Rob Wigley
    Yes Tony a senior moment, can you think of any tunes ?

    As Melvin has now departed back to the USA, I am looking at the Northern songs that have been played, or are strong Northern which he wrote or co-wrote, these may be included in future shows here or on the Continent. I'm not after Songs he recorded himself, but the ones others did. Butch played a blinding set of records about 7 years ago at a gig in Stoke that Chris Waterman promoted " An audience with Melvin Davis". However since having my collection stolen, I no longer have the luxury of being able to sift through Detroit stuff looking at writers etc. Here's what I have so far. All records marked with a * are already included or have backing tracks done. JJ Barnes "Chains of love" * Jackey Beavers "I need my baby" * Edward Hamilton "I'm Gonna love you" * Darrell Banks "I'm the one who loves you" * Ann Perry "That's the way he is" Johnnie Mae Mathews "Lonely you'll be" Calvin Williams "Lonely you'll be" If you can include YouTube or Refosoul links even better as this helps Melvin get the feel of what we are after over here. Thanks in advance ! Rob.

    Well Taff' its very short notice but everyone locally seems to be getting behind this. With a bit more notice this could be the start of a regular stop over for artist coming in. See you there Rob.

    Just to add further info to the above, apart from the 3 gigs, Melvin might just be turning up at some local soul events as well, to help publicise the events and sell CDs 45s and sign pictures Keep an eye open for him--he's 6ft 6" !

    No its to tracks, recorded in Detroit with his band there, costs are so prohibitive where live bands are concerned due to the number of members and flights required. Be great to do, but you need a venue that holds 6-700 at £20+ a ticket just to break even. Anyone got £6-7 K to throw at it and I'll gladly sort it out for you

    Don't mind doing the odd Charity Night every now and then once or twice a year, usually rely on the pool of "proper" DJs as well." Easy way to put "Doubters" minds at ease is to hand over the Cheque on the night if possible... As Photo shows from November 2012 L to R Doug Hall, Steve Goody, Neil Self , Sara Baker (night in aid of her) Yours truly. A sum of £931.00 was raised towards medical costs for Sara and duly handed over towards the end of the night. Job Done.... Rob
