Sorry we couldn't make it yesterday Richard, but we will definitely be making a trip up.

Very Sad news. Our thoughts are with Joe's family and friends at this very sad time. Sleep tight Gilly and Nicola

Thanks for your kind words Rob. Yes it is the B side of Ain't Gonna Run.... and I had planned to play it but it was funny when you played Ain't Gonna Run in your set and I said the Lynn.. " There you go that's another one off my list to play, I will just have to play the B side and see what thats like..."

Firstly on behalf of Gilly and myself we would like to thank the guys and of course Lynn at Pure Soul for asking us to play some tunes at their Christmas Charity event yesterday. We had a great time with friends (old and new), listening to tunes whilst raising money for a worthy Charity in the Nuneaton area. Well done to all. This is what we played between 23.20 and 00.15 (I think) If You Love Her — Barbara Lewis —Atlantic Records I Need You - Johnny McCall — Alteen Records Our Love Used To Be — The Royal Esquires — Prix The Meditation — TNT Band — Cotique Paint Yourself in the Corner — Al Supersonic and the Teenagers (LP) Dance Senorita — Hollywood Flames — Symbol Records Big Man Cry — Ernie Johnson — Steph and Lee Records Good Feeling — Bettye Scott and the Del-Vetts — Teako Records What Will Love Tend To Make You Do — The Mad Lads — Volt Records Maybe Tomorrow — James Weeks and the Fabulous Inspirations — Goodtime Records Do I Love You — Bill Robinson & the Quails — Date Records Somebody Please — Billy Keene — RONN Records As I Walk Alone — Norvells — Checker Records I Blew a Good Thing — Jimmy ‘Soul’ Clark — Karen Records Butterfly — The Ballard’s — Music City Records Oh Baby! — The Creations — Globe Records So Young (And So Innocent) — The Poets — Symbol Records Stepping’ All Over Me — Slim Moore and the Mar-kays (LP) “It’s A Shame” — Myron and E with The Soul Investigators — Timmion Records It’s Time To Leave The Disco — Hot Ice (LP) Taking My Mind off Love — Carol Anderson — Whip Records Love is All Right — Cliff Nobles — Phil-L.A. of Soul Records I think that's all of them I think Thanks and well done (again) on the amount raised Nicola and Gilly

What about The Spaniels - Maybe on Buddah Records Especially at about 56 seconds when the tempo changes.... Brilliant all round anyway (IMO)

Very funny.... I do have a question though, if I bring my handbag does that mean I'm a handbagger? See you later.

Hi, the book is still a work in progress and unfotunately it's taking us longer than we first thought due to our work and family commitments. Andy and I are due to have a meeting regarding updates etc. after that we will be able to give everyone a better update. Please bear with us. Nicola

Hi Dave, sorry to hear you won't be able to make it Saturday. The charity is Sue Ryder, I am sure that Hammie or Andy will have the details if not I will get them for you. Take care Nicola x

We will deffinately be there. Already on the calender and wouldn't dare miss this night for a special lady who touched so many people in different ways. Very much missed, but always in our hearts. Nicola x

Get well soon Dave atb from Gilly and me x

Actually it is very apt that Kev has started this thread as it was Pete's birthday yesterday.... Unfortunately I haven't been very good on the old correspondance side due to work pessures and committments but I do often think of Pete with great fondness until I remember all the practical jokes that he played on me (and everyone else he knew)...But we did our best to return the jokes. So Pete if you are reading this stay positive and keep your spirits and we'll catch up when you are able to. Love Nicola and Gilly xx Ps: Many Happy Returns Pete, I will have a glass of wine to celebrate for you

Funny you should put this Len but I can't shake him from my memory either....

Brilliant stuff... Thank you for sharing

Really enjoyed the very livey show

Thank you for your post, I have sent you a message. Nicola

Just thought that I would bring this thread back up into view and give a little reminder.. Things on the book are starting to come together and although we haven't set a deffinate deadline at the moment, I am sure that it will have to be fairly soon so that we can get all the additional work that is required sorted out. Therefore if you have a story to contribute please get in touch with either Andy or myself (details are on this thread) as it would be a shame if at a later date you realise that your story/experience would have been great to share but you didn't get in touch, you may kick yourself and neither of us wants that. Thanks Nicola

So sorry that it seams that quite a lot of people couldn't get to hear the show. We should be getting a copy from Dean so will see about uploading it for you. Dean also said he was going to see if they could sort out podcasts so I will remind him about getting on the case.

Great News Ady. I am just going to educate Gilly with "Trying to love two". Jock we haven't got a van sorted yet. Maybe we can all sort it together? Ps Ady we also need tickets please - I will pm you

Hi I just wanted to bring this thread back up as it is important that people get to see it as since my last post I have had a couple of stories in and have been promised several more. As Andy has stated we are all guns ahead and our final deadline will be September 2012. Obvoiusly if anyone would like to contribute the sooner they can get it to us the better and if they have any supporting info ie memorabilia, photos etc they would also be welcome.. All the stoires have we have received so far have been fantastic. Some have been short and some have covered several pages but all have been quality and a great insight into what people have experienced just to find, or not in some cases these 45's we all love. Once again if you wish you contribute my email is nicolaanderson271@btinternet.com or pm me through here. Andy can also be contacted through here on Dysonsoul.

Good luck to you both Atb Nicola and Gilly

Hi, Andy and I are still in the process of collating "stories" and reconnecting with people that have agreed to contribute. However, at the moment we haven't fixed a deadline but as soon as we have one of us will let everyone know. Both Andy and I have been working on the book behind the scenes but like Chris said in his post everyday things such as work, family etc come first. I personally know that due to personal commitments and work I wasn't able to do alot towards the end of last year, I am now able. Chris we would still love your contribution so please get typing. Tony (Suinoz) yes I have a copy of the Nolan Chance and your email you sent me. If anybody would like to contribute their experiences whilst record digging/finding or not and hasn't been in touch please let us know. My contact email is nicolaanderson271@btinternet.com Lastly thank you to everybody that has already contributed.

I have to agree a sublime piece of soul. Both versions are brilliant (imo).

Very sad news. Our thoughts go out to Ted's family and friends at this sad time. Nicola and Gilly x

Hello Richard The release year is 1968 (late, I think). I was pressed up prior and very close to the Ravins on Demo Ristic. Hope this helps. Nicola

Must say that Gilly and I have also listened to this CD and it is rather good. Thank you Ady
