New Lady Wray 45 from Big Crown records out soon and sounds good to me both sides. Pre-order directly or through their page on Bandcamp https://bigcrownrecords.com/store/piece-of-me-b-w-come-on-in/

Great weekend as always and sorry I missed most of what you played Carl...brilliant records. As you know I was next door in The Jim Wray Lounge the same time, sending a few people to sleep with some slower sides! Some wonderful soul played in both rooms over the weekend and a privilege to meet, chat, listen, even a dance with the lovely Bernadette Bascom!..Well done again Pat, arranging for Bernadette to come over and for the new single, + others being released soon! Anyway here's my hours worth of slower 45s and hopefully some of the other collectors and DJs will also add a play list or two from the weekend. Cheers.

Good shout Mike..so many releases this year so far and long may it continue. Funk Night Records continue to churn out some decent new/old sounding 45s too:

16 x medium rare soul 45s for a lazy Sunday and stalling all the jobs....Maybe tomorrow. Tracks by Soft Touch, Patty Stokes, Charlene & The Soul Serenaders, Bernadette Bascom, Big John Hamilton, Primbrock Skiggs, Little Gregory & The Concepts, Lee Harris, James Weeks & The Fabulous Inspirations, The Lovations, Love Affair, Pat Livingston, Sonny Craver, Sunny & The Sunliners, Gary Griffin & The Top Ten, Cast of Magic Band. Enjoy!

Not sure it’ll get a vinyl release, though the first album did, but also on itunes as well as Bandcamp for now. Interesting that when you buy it on Bandcamp there’s no fixed price, up to the buyer to input what they think is fair, but fixed price on itunes. Hopefully they’ll make a few quid from download sales etc to keep rolling anyway.

Quite enjoying some of the tracks off the recent new album, download only I think. Link here on Bandcamp for anyone interested: https://ernesternie.bandcamp.com/album/sincerely-yours-greatest-hits-vol-ii

Yes it really was a memorable night, at Dingwalls. Their debut LP from 2016 is well worth a listen too if you’ve not already looked up their other recordings. Cheers, Steve

Good shout! Love this track and video. Was lucky to see them perform a couple of weeks ago in London..absolutely brilliant and they included plenty of new material from the next album..very much looking forward to that in a few months. Meanwhile “Don’t you know’ (+ Kelly Finnigan) both available as download on itunes and Bandcamp etc, with the 45 on the way soon as you say. It’s already looking like another very good year for new releases!
