Do you still have the Otis Clay I got problems for sale Thanks Allan

Tim, its Al Coney,hope you are well, just wanted to say mate, the fanzine of yours Tracks to my mind,is brilliant, I pulled my copy out over the christmas period to read again, to be honest I had forgotten how much information is in it.If people are not messaging you constantly to buy a copy then I am afraid the soul scene is in a very poor state. Take care Tim and hopefully will c u out and about somewhere in 2018 as I am mow fully recovered after my twisted testicle and hernia escapade last year,and if you had heard the rumours Andy Dyson was telling everyone how I had done it trust me mate they aint true.Take care Tim best always Al Coney (ps is your address still lecder avenue let me know mate as i got that dvd of Andy with Ralph soul Jackson and Herman Hitson copied if you want a copy mate)

Nick you were a great guy, a very good friend, and a guy who knew the true meaning of soul music, you will be sadly missed and in the words of the Johnny Robinson okeh recording you may be GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN. God Bless RIP Nick my friend. Al Coney

I missed the last two lifeline niters due to personal stuff but to me personally lifeline was one of a very few venues playing quality upfront soul music, a niter where i always heard something new and as much as andy is one of my closest mates mick also total respect to them for having the balls to promote a venue playing upfront quality music ,I know Andy was not happy with the direction that some of the music was going at some of the latest lifeline niters ie, getting a bit too funky and garage sounding.I hope and pray that Andy and Mick pull this new venue off for lifeline promotions in Nottingham area in the new year as every type of music has to progress as without progression the music becomes stalwart same old thing week in week out not for me thank you.Where are you gonna hear the likes of Andy spinning Speedlimits cant say no to my baby(courtesy of Tim Ashibende respect always mate) Richard Marks Did you ever lose someting,Bette Willis unissued track to name a few,RESPECT ALWAYS ANDY MICK and Chalky for keeping the progression of quality soul music alive thro Lifeline Promotions and I sincerely apologise for missing the last two as Ive had some of the best nights of my life at Lifeline promotions at Sheridans .the old bell ,stables and bidds and dont we know it Andy
