At 5:15 today Dave passed away peacefully in his sleep at home with Carol his wife at his side - my thoughts and prayers are with the family.

I am sure there will be many more posts to follow but I thought I would throw my bit in:

I first met Dave around 1980 / 81 he use to hang around with a guy from Peterborough called Soulie - they were like Soul twins wherever one was, the other one was close behind. - Dave use to help out in the early days set up the decks / speakers at the Wirrina all nighters by Peterborough Soul Club 1981, he was also involved in helping out at the East of England Sixties all nighters in the 80ts and the Dedicated Soul Club and Scooter club allnighters being a regular dj during the 80t's at The Fleet and Wirrina.

Dave was also one of the co founding promoters who started the Soul Hole at the Post Office Club, and a regular DJ at the various Soul events in and around the Peterborough area.

Dave was a major influence on the Peterborough Soul scene from the 1980ts through to the present day will he be missed YES - but certainly not forgotten.

Saw a tv show last last about people performing in Las Vegas - I googled the theatre and up pops - Little Anthony and Imperials - $30 a ticket 

Twisted wheel sound really - use to play it at the northern soul / mod nights early 1980 / 81

once i had a guy who asked for me to play bari track ...and i had loads of other pre requests to play that were big cheese//so i politely said ..i don,t think im going to get time to play your request ,but if you ask the next dj to play it i,m sure he will. ....as i was going to leave it out for him to play first ....2mins later he came up again with only 2 tunes play in my spot..... ...he said if you don,t play bari track next i,m gonna break your f...in legs......nice eh ......i didn,t play it and fortunately the promoter /dj had him escorted back to his seat.......no i didn,t leave the tune out to play ...

I can only dream of people like that at The Fleet - we have a way of dealing with them lol

Many years ago when I moved I borrowed a lot of bread trays to move the records - then took the trays back - all you're records are valuable to you - so you should pack em and move them - any damage or breakages is down to you - good luck 

Mick - Pm sent 

Deffo - Casino Main floor Friday oldies night massive sound also at St Ives late 76 early 77 before getting closed down

Great B side  - basically £325 for each side bargain 

Classic oldie “Tear Stained Face” by Don Varner coupled with the original flip side “Mojo Mama” originally titled “32 Miles From Waycross”. When Edwin Starr’s “25 Miles” was later issued it was considered so similar that the writers Jerry Wexler and Bert Berns were given joint credits.

I think I brought about 6 last year and they were mostly to replace American Motown blue with Black TMGs - deffo slowing up buying

Absolute madness. Kenny should have known better. Still, I suppose you could file it in a sleeve with the other side facing up...

Never understand why he didn't do the B side and left the A clean
