Hi Mike , massive mix here with Bilston town Hall , myself and partner Ian Garratt did 3 events there and Ian walked away NOT me i was still thinking i had bookings there with a few my my regular DJS as myself and Mick Taylor , Mark freeman was carring it on , it was me who first got bilston and asked ian to come on board , spoken to steph now which really she should really honour our dates regardless if a new promoter as dates there ..some are not happy with the situation hope something can be resolved

Is this Toby who booked Steve Calloway with You Andy ..Groovesville Soul club ....if so ....I'm saddened to hear this sad news ..not seen him for ages but what a lovely top guy he was ...RIP Mate xx

Could be the case Robb .

I can put you in touch with Steve Robb ..his real name is Ryuim ( don't know this is spelt right ) Maybe wheelsville is 67 mate ?

Hi Robb Just phoned Steve he states roughly 1965 ...him and Reggie done the lead vocals on That's why I love on the takes ..I know it's Steve voice on the original cut he was jupming up and down ..that's me ...I really love my baby .. but they both had similar voices and yes very much like Melvins too but steve just laughed when I suggest Melvin was in the group ..but he states your spot on regarding the house band as they was more like you and Nick stated a Dance Routine band ..Don loved the Name especially he tells me they couldn't belive there luck when Don asked them over to do something ...I for one still belIves there could be another version of That's why I love you in the vaults recorded by another Artist ..Don wasn't stupid and very clever.

I have a interview video with Steve Calloway will have to post it up when he talks about the track ...I recall meeting Steve for the first time in Detoit at Berts place and he was introduced to me by Joe pep Harris as he walked over I opened up ..Girl I really love you ....his reply ...How you know that dam record ...his face was priceless lol
