Rob Wigley

Just had a quick message on my Answer machine saying Ed Wingate , Record producer, Label owner and Detroit legend has passed away, don't know if this has been reported anywhere else yet but it came from Melvin davis, so it must be true ! I will post more when I find out. Rob

Nobodys mentioned The Tudor Barn for a while me and my mate Chris shaw ran it for over a year !! searling, Soul sam ,Arthur fenn ,Rob Smith all guested there

I see you are in North wales, its a full weekend package as with all our events, starts at just £25 including 3 nights accom and all dancehall/concert passes if 6 share a budget appartment, if you can get a few of your mates to go and you are all local, its actually cheaper than trying to buy wristbands !!! I guarenttee you'll have a great weekend and with somewhere to "crash out" as well our bars will be open right through the night !!! rob Pm me if you need more info

Yep still got it Rich and i play it when Djing less than a Dollar each when we bought them---was it you or your mum who rang ???

Get yourself along to Prestatyn in October 13th to 17th "Soul Legends" weekender,featuring The Contours, we re-named it from Motown legends to cover a wider spectrum of "Commercial" soul music, we played hours of Motown at Hemsby, non repeated, and it went down a storm with the punters there, we are also putting on a 70s & 80s room as well as The Main Northern venues (4 Rooms) so if you fancy some of the more commercial stuff to mix with your rare soul platters then this could be ideal for you

Always liked "is it all gone" by the magicians I have a Yellow villa copy, but never heard it played anywhere !? is it from the same sessions ?

The wife here, jive Turkey was at sheffield city hall lesley singleton , adrian guite, karen mchugh. all regulars from the Northern scene New Years Eve was a bit funny, they would not even bring in the New year at 12 o clock !! Great Music 70s/modern amoungst the play list

But wasn't Jim from the Lincoln area originally ? Where's Ady when you need him !

I can tell people who went to the original Cleethorpes Pier all-nighters, centred around Doncaster, barnsley & S Yorkshire/lincs area. Put "So is the sun" or "i don't know which foot to dance on" or "elusive" and off they go into the "Cleethorpes Shuffle" -which involves a sidesways slide movement across the floor. know what I mean ?

Just confirmed that "The Bisley Boys" will be doing the main room saturday afternoon with derek ,pete & roger being the anchor men plus a couple of guests to be confirmed bringing Bilsley by the sea .

Just a quick up date as we have been doping some work on this one today (Yeah bank holiday monday and me and john are slogging it out over bacon butties !) A quick guide Friday all-nighter will feature (8pm to 7.00 am) In the Northern Room Kenny Burrell Soul Sam Mick H Ginger Taylor Keith Money Jason bessant Sean Chapman Roger Banks Sam More plus guest TBC Crossover/modern venue Friday Soul sam Andy Whitmore Cliff Steele Chris Forrest Andy "Tats" taylor Matt Plus Guest TBC More to follow to book call 0870 604 5606

just listen through the videos again, soulgirl is stood near the stage montiors and is picking up that sound only not the full show mix !!!!

well keep it up there

"Cashin' In" no contest !

Some more Severn Souls flyers will be at leighton Buzzard tonight for those who have asked to distribute them, drop me a PM if you are going tonight.

Keep it in the public eye mike

on which track ??

You've scored again Soul Girl brought back some great memories, even caught myself picking my nose on the "keep on keeping on " video !!! Donni Burdick was still my favorite from the show, mainly because all the others have had some form of regonition for their music, Donni had never sung before more than 100 people even his wife of 30 odd years had never seen him sing ! If you put "I have faith in you" on here watch his reaction at the end of it, the noise from the 3,000 plus crowd was unbeliveable on the stage, just like being at a football match, he was caught like a rabbit in the headlights of a car ! I nearly had to drag him off the stage ! great stuff & well done Rob

Please send me your full name ,address and e-mail via PM i may be able to help you Rob Wigley

Just read Staplers review of Prestatyn 5, thanks very much for your comments. Just concerned that she somehow missed One and a Half hours of a blinding show on Saturday afternoon !!! with the 'Masqueraders in 110% top form !! I know they were on in Arena 2 and I know it was packed to the rafters,1200 people+ but for anyone else who missed them or didn't realise they were on--Catch them again at the SEVERN SOULS WEEKENDER, Weston-super-mare 23rd -to-26th JUNE 2006 Booking info for the South Wests own Summer Weekender 0870 604 5606 or visit www.soul-weekenders.co.uk Rob

God bless Dave Godin, without him I don't think 99% of us would have been where we are today, like most things in life people do try and put a label on it. Northern Soul did exactly what it said on the tin at the time.

Have you seen the advert where the guy gets his brother turned into a diamond ? Well bring your records round for sale and turn them in to diamonds for your loved ones !! (Before they do it to you !)

I've got a white demo of it, not for sale though, didn't think it was that hard to get !

Yes Martin very true ,Nev had one but no cover as stated earlier, I had len barry on an EMI DISC when I was at school !!! (I left in 75) have heard it played several times over the 30odd years since then and I am quite surprised at the fuss to be honest, still a nice collectors item and obviously very rare in both US/UK format. Would love a copy but only because i love Len Barry's records, my older Mod sisters played them to death when i was a toddler along with the Motown and Atlantic stuff they were buying. When you listen to 1,2,3 or like a baby there's no wonder I got into Northern !!!!
