The factory shop has the occasional sale too. If you are after a new pair of shoes, take your missus with you to Desborough and drop her off at the lingerie factory, also in town.

Another Slade soul connection, Tasha Thomas sang backing vocals on the 1976 single 'Nobody's Fool'.

Did my first trip to Amsterdam last year (tip, coincide your trip when the Dutch national team are playing for extra excitement) and have vowed to go back one day to do the soul night and your review has made me more determined not to leave it too long. Great write up, thanks Dave.
Thanks for taking the time to write such a considered reply Lorraine. I'm an artist of the painting variety and I've asked myself the same question and came to a similar conclusion as yourself. But, there's still the future!
Hiya Lorraine,
If you could have had a crystal ball back in the 60's and were able to fortell the changes to come as highlighted above (and include the internet and the way we can communicate now) would your career have panned differently?

Bearsy, the one and only time I've had the pleasure of hearing you play I was on the on the floor most of the set. Mind you, I was dancing with me back to the wall which is just as well in hindsight!l!
Well I danced to one of your records last night so I'm being good!
Thanks for the reply Lorraine, and yes, being happy is all that matters!! And soul music and dancing makes me happy!
Can I come out of my room 19 and 3/4 years early please Lorraine cos I want to ask you a question.
You mentioned the surprise expressed in Detroit when Edwin Starr came to live in England. Tommy Hunt also live here. Is relocating to Britain something you have ever, or even now would ever consider, considering the love and esteem in which you are held over here?
'You only live twice' may not have made the James Bond film, but I'm pretty sure it made the opening credits to a Channel 4 documentary about the Cleethorpes weekender. Fab tune!
A massive welcome Lorraine!
