Here you go mate: https://deepsoulvation.podomatic.com/entry/2011-06-08T14_26_45-07_00 Cheers, Mark R

I've got a VHS with this on..............in fact, I've got most of these things on VHS, but they're not labelled so I can't find 'em.........and have nowt to play 'em on if I did!! Cheers, Mark R

Cheers Gilly.........that's a nice early recording then.......and I know what you mean about mic work......I listened yesterday to a thing on Podomatic of him live at Butlers Wine Bar (London?) and it's like listening to him now............."Let's have you"........."get on that floor" etc. I'm surprised no-one has come back with a link to that late live Wigan recording though. Cheers, Mark R

All, I'm hopeless at using the search on here......dunno why! Anyway, ahead of the old boys birthday celebrations, I'm looking for any old live recordings of Sam......I particularly recall a late Wigan one where I think he plays Prince Phillip Mitchell for the first time there. Are there any Stafford's??......Rock City??...........etc, etc If anyone can point me at any such recordings I'd be most grateful..........just fancy a topical trip down memory lane! If this should be in Refosoul as the replies come back, feel free to move it mod's, and sorry in advance! Cheers, Mark R

Hi Jock, trust all's well mate? They are from Australia, I know little more than that. There is a physical CD, though I'm not sure how "available" it is as this was given to me as a promo at Southport. I posted it on EMS too, and have since been informed that it's available for download on iTunes too. Cheers, Mark R

........this was thrust into my hand at Southport Weekender last week, and will certainly be of interest to a good many on here.....top drawer stuff!
