Just a short note to say we thoroughly enjoyed the event and the DJ sets later. Didn't get to here everyone but the one's we did hear, Sam, Dave and Carl/Maria, couldn't be faulted. Great music.

Many thanks to the replies re a pub with the match on.
I'm giving up my seaon ticket so I can attend the venue.
Looking forward to a great night (footie and tunes).
Thanks again
Paul
Seems ages since we were last out with snow, colds, etc. As the roads from Blackpool are now fine we'll be there. Looking forward to some quality tunes.

Sorry but got to say that I love the vocal (+ it's one of my favs). To each his/her own. Just to add that I generally prefer the vocal (when there is one available) to any instrumental.

Always got time for Clive. remember in the 70's when he, and other southern writers, were very critical of 'northern' soul; just because we liked non soul records didn't mean we couldn't differentiate between 'northern' dance and soul. With the pasage of time it was recognised that if it was 'soulful' then there wasn't a problem. Shout have had some excellent CD's and the radio show is also excellent (although is does cover a wide spectrum so not always soul). Clive has great taste and I've ordered the book; looking forward to reading it.
