I was so sure to go to this, but cant do a thurday, gutted!

Me and woody have some fond memories of the ballroom, Rock Candy, I remember I bought one for woody at the time a demo, off Pep,I used to spent my pay check on records , even though they where not for me at the time,:lol:we got locked in, and had to climb a fence, to get out, at one of the soul nites, it seems not that long ago, when I think about it, but my god its been years, have you got any pictures Neil, would be fab to see what its like now, yes , we will be there, cant wait:thumbsup: and I remember Willy...

defo..it would be great for us,,as woody does an awful lot of driving in his job,in fact need a lift to radcliffe:whistling: brings back a lot of memories from the 70TS..many times the coach from wolvo was stopped by the police,everything went out the window:D

AS DAVE HAS SAID ALREADY, ITS BEEN A REALLY BAD YEAR WORSE THAN EVER, SUCH A LOVELY GUY, A TRUE GENT OF THIS SCENE, AND WILL BE GREATLY MISSED, MINE AND WOODYS CONDOLENCES TO HIS FAMILY.

Even my kids who are 23 and now 25 years olds said , MAX MILLWARD from the shop in wednesfield ! and are shocked and moved as they have fond memories well if you can call em that ,as woody apparently used to drag them both there when they was little rogues as they both were instead of doin the errands I had sent him to do, Tom my eldest can remember many Saturday afternoons in the shop with his dad woody,I can just imagine um running around making lots of noise whilst dad was busy chatting and looking at records no doubt, and I only found out this info out yesterday ! theres two generations who knew him, how can one man have that impact, incredible really and that is exactly what will be missed on this soul scene, you dint get characters like Max any more, they did break the mold when he was made! R.I.P soul father.

its very sad news indeed, and as ever it makes you look at our own mortality..its shocking to hear of a legend that has now gone for ever from our scene. RIP MAX. for ever missed and forever will be remembered

great feature love it thanks

are going to get one Dave, thanks for putting it up

I HOPE ITS OK WITH ALL OF YOU TO CARRY ON WITH THIS.BUT A COUPLE OF SNIPPETS THAT I HOPE WILL HELP YOU SEE HER WICKED SENSE OF HUMOUR! AT ONE NITER WHILST DAVE WAS DJ,ING, ME AND MAGGIE COUNTED ALL THE COINS FROM HIS SALES, AND DID A BIT OF GIGGERY POKERY, SO SHE COULD HAVE A GO ON THE SLOTS,AND HE NEVER KNEW, WELL HE DOES NOW, BUT WHEN WE DID GO, WHICH BY THE WAY WAS NOT VERY OFTEN, I DONT WANT YOU TO THINK SHE WAS AN AVID GAMBLER, IT WAS JUST SOMMAT TO DO IF WE WAS BORED, BUT SHE ALWAYS GAVE DAVE HALF HER WINNINGS , OR SO HE THOUGHT, BECAUSE I WAS SENT TO DISTRACT HIM, WHILE SHE SLOWLEY HID SOME OF THE MONEY, DAVE THINKS HE HAD HALF BUT INFACT ONLY A QUARTER, SORRY DAVE! AT DUBLIN AT THE GUINNESS FACTORY, DAVE WAS INTENT ON GETTING TO THE TOP FOR THE FREE PINT OF GUINNESS, BUT WE WAS BORED SHITLESS, AND HAD A GOOD GIGGLE ABOUT IT AFTER, COS WE TOLD HIM HOW MUCH WE ENJOYED IT, AND HOW INTERESTING IT ALL WAS, SORRY DAVE SHE WAS BRILLAINT AT TAKING PHOTOGRATHS, AND MOST OF THE PHOTOS IN DAVES MAG WHERE TAKEN BY MAGGIE, SHE HAD A GREAT EYE FOR DETAIL! ONE THING MAGGIE TAUGHT ME IS TO LIVE ..LOVE AND LET LIVE.WHICH IS WAHT I WILL DO FROM NOW ON!

SIAN, THREE THINGS MAGGIE NEVER DID, SWEAR.DRINK.SMOKE, HOWEVER WITH MY WARPED SENSE OF HUMOR, I GOT MAGGIE TO HOLD MY CIGARETTE AS IF SHE WAS SMOKING, AND ON THAT NITE WHEN WE WERE DRUNK I SAID YOU HAVE TO SAY THE F WORD,NO SHE SAID, OH PLEASE MAGGIE, SO SHE DID, BUT SHE ALWAYS MAINTAINED IT WAS FLUFFING ECK,JUST TO PACIFIE ME!WE ALWAYS LAUGHED ABOUT THIS MANY TIMES. 2 MORE FACTS FOR YOU. CANT FOCUS SO MANY THINGS TO REMEMBER SHE WAS BOUGHT UP ON A FARM IN LUDLOW.. SHE HAS A VERY FAMOUS DESENDENT..THE LAST HANGMAN OF DUDLEY!!! NO WONDER I NEVER LIKE TO SEE HER BEHIND ME WITH HER HANDS ON MY SHOULDERS!!!! SHE HAD A UNIQUE WAY OF SPOILING ME, SO MUCH WILL I MISS THE FACT THAT AT XMAS AND SUCH SHE WOULD ALWAYS SUPRISE ME WITH A BAG OF GOODIES, SOUGHT OUT AT GREAT THOUGHT TO DELIGHT ME AND MAKE ME FEEL SO SPECIAL.. LIKE THE WAY SHE WOULD ALWAYS GET THE SWEETIES FOR THE CAR JOURNEY, I TOLD HER I LOVE LIQUORISH, SO SHE GOT ME A BIG BAG WHEN WE WAS ON THE WAY TO RUGBY, DONT EAT THEM ALL AT ONCE OR THEY WILL GIVE YOU A BELLY ACHE, THEY WERE THE ONES IN A COIL WITH AN ALLSORT IN THE MIDDLE, BUT OF COURSE, I KEPT ON HAVING A NIBBLE AND WOULD NOT SHARE. ARE YOU EATING THEM LOU, SHE KEPT ASKING, NO I SAID, YOU ARE SHE SAID, DONT BLAME ME IF THEY MAKE YOU GO YOU (KNOW WHERE I MEAN,)SHE SAID, BUT BY HALF WAY TO RUGHY, THEY WAS ALL GONE, AND YES THEY WORKED!, SHE NEVER BOUGHT ME ANY AGAIN!

I HAVE DECIDED TO PUT DOWN IN WORDS OUR FONDEST AND FUNNIEST MEMORIES OF THE GOOD LADY MARGE RIMMER!I KNOW THAT DAVE IS GETTING A GREAT DEAL OF COMFORT FROM WHAT HES BEEN READING HERE ON SOUL SOURCE , SO PLEASE DO ADD ANYTHING THAT SPRINGS TO MIND, AND TO GET IT GOING HERES ONE OF MINE... WELL MAGGIE DON'T DRINK LIKE I DO, BUT.. A FEW YEARS AGO AT SILKS IN NORTHAMPTON, I MANAGED TO PURSUED HER TO PARTAKE IN THE FINE ART OF WINE DRINKING, AND HALF WAY THROUGH THE NITE WE WHERE BOTH PISSED AS FARTS, AND THIS TIME WE BOTH LEANED ON EACH OTHER, DAVE TOOK A PHOTO OF US, WHICH I CANT FIND BUT I THINK DAVE HAS IT! BUT SHE WOULD NEVER GO HOME DRUNK NO WAY, AND PROMPTLY SOBERED UP BE-FOR GETTING HOME..SHE WOULD NEVER LET THE BOYS SEE THEIR MUM DRUNK! ....THIS WAS ONLY THE SECOND TIME SHE WAS DRUNK IN HER WHOLE LIFE... SUCH A BAD INFLUENCE AM I OR WHAT! SOME FACTS YOU MAY HAVE KNOWN ARE NOT. SHE LOVED HANDBAGS AND PRACTICALLY HAD ONE FOR EVERY OCCASION! YOU WAS AN EXPERT ON BEER! AND COULD TELL BY THE TASTE OF IT WHAT IS WAS ETC, BUT NEVER DRUNK ANY! WAS A VERY ARTISTIC PERSON AND VERY PATIENT..HAD TO BE TO PUT UP WITH ME! LOVED TATTOOS,S AND KNEW AN AWFUL LOT ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THEM! WAS A MASSIVE CHUCK JACKSON FAN, AND WOULD HAVE A CD ON IN THE CAR OF HIS SONGS! GOT ON FAMOUSLY WITH MY DAUGHTER AND ALWAYS SAID SHE WOULD FIT INTO HER HOUSEHOLD LIKE A GLOVE, JUST AS IF SHE WAS HER OWN ! LIKED SILVER JEWELRY AND SPARKLY WATCHES WHICH SHE HAS A VAST ARRAY OF! LOVED A GOOD BOOK ESPECIALLY IN THE BATH! LIKED A CURRY AND A GOOD FILM ON A SAT NITE IF SHE HAD TO STOP IN! AND LIKED TO GAMBLE AT THE CASINO MUCH TO DAVE'S ANNOYANCE, HER FAVORITE SLOT WAS THE CLEOPATRA!

Just to echo the above, lets hope 2010 is a better year for mr fingers, well done Pete!!!

I think thats a spot on post Bill, well thought out and very well written.
