Pete S

Right I'm going to have to turn it in at 9 spend a couple of hours with Davina so I apologise for not responding to any PM's I may get til later or til tomorrow morning, can I just say once again, what a fantastic performance by Soul Source members, talk about all pulling together, give yourselves a round of applause, I'm treating myself to a Baileys now, chin chin

Johnny Fingers (left) receives a cheque from Pete Smith (right)

Yes mate, should be safe to pm them or send to pete.smith@freeuk.com (number, expiry, security code) ta!

If you forgot to put Fingers on the paypal payments it doesn't matter because I had f*ck all in there today so every penny is accounted for, bastards didn't buy any records off me, too busy giving money away

Still better to get it out in the open though. I was thinking of handing over one of those giant cheques.

Right I want you all to see this, I took credit card payments of: 20 50 20 25 15 the rest of the money on the receipt is for 2 records I sold. So there's 130 to come off this receipt. You've seen the receipt for the withdrawal of £1000 from my paypal account. There is another £706 in my paypal account since the withdrawal of the first lot. I want all of this completely open and in full public view because every penny of this is going to it's intended beneficiary and anyone who wants or needs to look at the accounts can do so. There's also about £40 I've put in myself on behalf of other people who are sending it, there's a couple of records for me to sell which should net £80 so we really are looking at £2 grand now.

Anyone could have done this mate, I just decided to go ahead and do it!

No not really Stevie, it was just referring to the time I got sent a mysterious parcel containing a dressing gown and slippers

I'm going to go and get something to eat now, someone else take over, I'm f*cking starving sat up here all day

No I didn't really think he would be but I was worried about going behind his back and doing sommat like this but what the heck, 80 odd people contributing, some from Europe as well, he should read this and know NEVER to give up on anything cos there's people here who care and want to help. Let's face it - I didn't have much on this afternoon anyway

Tipped off what? The roof? Oh no, can it get any worse?

Bagsy not phoning

81 different people from Soul Source and Planet Records mailing list have now contributed. 81!!!! I reckon we'll do £2000 by the end of this.

I guess someone had better tell him about this thread, I don't have his number

I won one but couldn't find the link to pay for it, but they are on here, look for Eamesey

Just gone over £1500. By the way, if Fingers decides he doesn't want it, I'm going to buy a new brown dressing gown and slippers

The reason the French one goes for so much is because it's got the duet version of I Feel So Bad on it.

£1440

Ady you know what, the number of people who've sent money and said "I remember he gave me so and so record for nothing" is incredible. And of course I've also had loads of people donate who've never even heard of him only on the Northern scene!

£1235

Just gone over £1000. Thanks again everyone. I still think he's gonna kill me.

£920

NOT IF WE CAN HELP IT

Just to show how us soulies pull together, in the 3 hours since I posted this, 42 different people have contributed, one person is raising funds by other means and one person has even donated a record for me to sell on my list and hand over the profits. Bloody superb.
