Wonder what the reaction would have been if they had done "Average guy" or "Please take me back" my first reaction was that Simon Cowell and his muppets are not qualified to run the rule over The Masqueraders, however, after listening to Tats on the subject, he rightly reflected that Simon Cowell could be the ticket for these guys to make some real cash, then so be it I say, apparently, group member and mainstay, Sam Hutchinson works a nightshift job earning minimum wage, I remember when they did Prestatyn a few years ago, I was fortunate enough to speak with them, I asked where the great Lee Jones was, "driving a truck" came the reply which gutted me totally and ruined my weekend, so, for all of their countless soulful masterpieces (no exaggeration)that we so rightly love, they haven't paid the bills. I don't care now if they get up there and sing nursery rhymes, just as long as they are paid handsomely and get some well earned recognition, lets be honest, if they did break out with those incredible words "If I was a rich man" Cowell and his sugar coated arse lickers just wouldn't get it. Kev

Thanks as always for putting playlists up Paul, we had an absolute blast, fantastic variety of all things soulful, big thanks to Dave for playing The Mist-The girl in the window for me after I pestered him all week also for playing (IMHO) the record of the day, Lorenzo Carpenter-My black sister, first time for these ears, absolutely awesome. All the lads were brilliant again. Kev

Positive Sounds-I almost blew my mind-Shiptown Great stuff Steve Kev

Hi Richard Most US collectors buy Group Soul, Sweet Soul etc, there are some Northern collectors but they are in the minority, you are right, some of the Sweet Soul, Group Harmony collections over there are fantastic, the market for that stuff is quite expensive but very vibrant Kev
