Just a quick post to let everyone know that the Soul Of Jamaica session will be taking place once again in the Club Room on Sunday afternoon from 2pm until 6pm.
Sadly this year we will be a man down due to the sad passing of my close friend Tim Fletcher (Toad on here) & we will be doing a tribute to him on the day.
Joining me & fellow resident John Davin will be this years guest selector, Ethan Howarth.
I have been asking Ethan to do a guest spot for us since the SOJ sessions started so I'm delighted that he can join us for the afternoon.
Also if anyone in the West Midlands area is needing tickets they can be purchased directly on here from me (it saves on booking fees & makes access easier on Friday afternoon). Just simply drop me a message on here & I'll get back to you ASAP.
Thanks for the link Andy, forgot about Lion Vibes & use them regularly too.
I have now tracked down a near mint UK copy for a fair price & virtually on my doorstep too.
Looking for a nice copy of Joe Gibbs & the Destroyers - Money Raper.
Must be in VG+ or better condition. Any legitimate label considered.
I have seen the overpriced poor condition copy on discogs.
TIA, Mart...
Apologies in advance if it looks like I'm name dropping but my Wife has met Billy several times via a very close friend who always drives his coach when he tours in the UK.
She asked him this very question & he was flattered to hear of the interest.
He said it was released as a Soul record for the UK market as was Love Really Hurts Without You & he never expected them to be the massive hit that they were.
He also classes himself as a Soul singer (rightly so IMO) so there you have it from the horses mouth so to speak.
Just a quick shout out to see if any of you can help out a friend of mine.
He's looking for a single room or a double that is supplemented for the weekend.
He used to stop with friends in Brid but they have now moved elsewhere.
If you can help please drop me a PM on here & I'll get back to you asap.
Best, Mart...
Anyone needing tickets in the West Midlands area can get them from me directly but please don't leave it until the last minute.
Simply drop me a PM on here & I'll get back to you ASAP.

One of the best Ian Levine Motorcity 12" singles from back in the day & his vocals are stunning on it.
Was also co-written by Edwin Starr.
Was also recently repressed on 7" vinyl but it sounds shite so the 12" is the one to track down. https://youtu.be/yyQ_4dhLPPk
If I went into HMV & bought a DVD & got home & found a bootlegged disc in the case I'd not be very happy about having spent my money on it.
Same scenario goes for attending an event & them also playing bootlegs IMO.
Legitimate represses is another argument for another day.
