News: Northern Soul - An Illustrated History - Out Now Competition
There's a page inside the back cover that has some references to the photo plates, but incomplete in my copy, and some simply state something like "photo booth 1976" or something like that, don't have the book in front of me at the moment. I finished reading through it last night and really enjoyed it. I thought some of the text on the photo pages strangely didn't apply to the photo but that's a small criticism. From a personal perspective I'd like to mention the double page pic of Strat Kirby and Angela Midgely, (towards the back of the book, as I said don't have copy in front of me for the page number), I trhink it's after a Clifton Hall nighter and think I can remember that night (I'm not the Dean that's in the pic with them). Really knocked me back to see that picture, never seen it before. Angela died in a fire in Bradford 2010 in suspicous circumstances, her partner at the time Strat has been facing his own 'demons' for some time. I sent his sister a copy of the book to give to him, hopefully a reminder of happy times. Strat was a 'Mod' during the returners phase, think it was Top Cat Scooter Club, Bradford, if memory serves. He got into the music through that interest and his Sister Cathy was a Wigan regular for a while. Angela had more than her fair share of problems later on, but I always thought she was a really nice person to be around and have fond memories of her. Nice picture.

News: 16 Years of Fun - Soul Source 1997-2013
Echo the sentiment of all the above. It certainly is habit forming, it makes for a break from work and my partner now actually believes me when I say I'm just on Soul Source again! Thank you to Mike and all involved.

News: Sonic Wax Record Store And Kitchen Open Now 8 -8 Every Day Brick Lane
Looks great. My daughter (Molly) likes to shop around Brick lane when we visit that-there-London. She's a keen 17 year old Vinyl collector now, not soul, more Bowie/ Iggy / Eno and punk, but at least it means she understands my personal desire to sift through, and she does like some of the stuff I buy (law of averages I guess). Hope we can call in next time we're down.

News: Sparkle - Film Remake Opens Uk October 2012
The makers may regret any link to the Supremes. There'll be no shortage of continuity advisers and detail research analysis available. Had to smile yesterday, was painting outside all day and had radio 2 on in the background. Martin Shaw was on Steve Wright talking about George Gently, saying how important it was to him tio have the period research accurate. Don't think Martin Shaw is on Soul Source.
