What can I say? I could use any of the above posts as a fitting eulogy for the passing of the Greatstone Soul Club. Thank you so much for the kind words,I really think you've summed things up superbly, it really means a lot to us all, thank you.
Big respect to everyone, and I mean everyone who contributed to the soul nights over the years. John Roche, AKA Ross R.I.P.our dear departed friend,still sadly missed. Started the first nights back in the 7t's, but in its current guise his first night was January 17th 1999. With Carl Willingham as special guest. Carl of course went on to be resident, and was so influential in shaping the way the club progressed, top man. Stevie Z then took over the residency after the passing of Ross. A job he continued to do until ill health prevented him from doing so a year or so ago, and what a fantastic job he did too, turned up some fantastic tunes.Big thanks to Adrian and team, for providing us with the best little soul venue on the scene, period.
We've had some fantastic guests over the years too, I do have a list, but I won't inflict it on you. Needless to say its lengthy and reads like a who's who of the soul scene, again thank you guys and gals!
I feel a waffle coming on, so I'll be brief. Far too many friends to mention on here, you know who you are, and you know the contribution you made over the years. See you out and about in Soul Land, when we'll raise a glass to a lost friend.
P.S.watch this space...
