Darrow Fletcher Live at The Wilton Soulful Session

EVENTS NEWS UPDATE

Wilton’s Soulful Sessions. Saturday 10th November 2012

Features a very special appearance of a true Chicago soul legend:

DARROW FLETCHER

and a night of 70’s, Crossover, and Modern Soul Music at it’s best.

Tickets are selling fast, so don’t leave it too late and miss out on this very special event.

The last date to purchase advance tickets via the website www.wheatsheaf.com/allnighter to guarantee postal delivery is Monday 5th November. After that date advance tickets can be collected at the event, provided payment is received by the Thursday 8th November.

Providing the event isn’t sold out, tickets may be available on the door at the event @ £15.00

The event will run from 9.00pm and close at 3.00am. No admission after 11.00pm.

Darrow Fletcher will be on stage for 60 minutes commencing around 11.30pm.

Darrow’s set will feature a number of previously unissued tracks from his unreleased Crossover album, cut in LA in the late 70’s. This album has now been released after almost 40 years by Kent Records on CD. Signed copies will be available from Darrow on the night for a special price, so put some dollars in the man’s pocket and also save a few bob. Darrow’s latest Kent Select 45 release will also be available on the night.

Darrow’s set will also include some of his classic 60’s/70’s recordings, along with six songs that he has never before performed on stage since he recorded them with Ray Charles in the studio in LA.

Sadly Gary Welsh can’t be with on the night. Gary was so looking forward to seeing Darrow and spinning a few tunes for us. All we can do now is to remember Gary on the night and play him some of the soul music he loved so much.

Darrow will be accompanied by backing tracks, some mixed down from the original 70’s multi track tapes produced in the LA studio, these being kindly supplied by Ady Croasdell at Kent Records. Other tracks have been skilfully reproduced by the nice guys at Boogie Back Records - Ernie McKone and Mike McEvoy, who are hoping to be present on the night.

Guest DJ’s on the night will be the very well respected Arthur Fenn & Mike Charlton not forgetting resident Boxy & Mouse Info: Boxy — 01924 894555 Mouse — 07717 338009

If you are planning to join us at this very special event get your tickets NOW to avoid missing this one off event.

Hi Alison, fantastic night and Darrow was superb. Just downloading video now, it buggered up at some point, somewhere round what have I got no.....not sure how much I missed but there is over 30 minutes of him. The backing tapes were incredible. I did hear them Friday and they are great listening in their own right.

Big thank you to Mouse and Dave Box.

That Sax :wink: in "What have I got now" was as goose pimpley as the record. I know it took them some time to perfect that part & perfect it they did, Spectacular stuff :thumbsup:

Peter, I've got an early christmas present for you :D (signed)

I wanted Darrow to write "Enjoy the journey" but it was too busy & loud to get my message across to him, so he wrote "best wishes" ,but it is especially for you and that's what counts :thumbsup: .

PM me your address fella

Regards

So sad I missed seeing him, it was just impossible for me to come and support a great artist who hasn't had it easy. So pleased he is getting this much deserved support today . My fave is changing by the minute which has this awesome flip , fed to me by MickD a few years back .

I filmed the Wilton Session of Darrow. If anyone would like a copy can you PM me and let me know so I can get some idea of the number of mailers and cases I need to buy. It will probably be around a tenner plus P&P. I will also do DVD's of the recording studio recordings. Monies raised will go to Darrow.

If anyone else would like one if these videos of Darrow at the Wilton can you shout up, there's not many left and I don't think I will be doing anymore.

Quality isn't bad, Peter99 will vouch for that as he has watched his already.

Pleasure Mike but it is Mouse and Boxy that need thanking for filming them. I've simply put them out there for others to watch.

Have to agree it is fascinating to watch them work. There are about 50 of these clips where they are simply working in the studio. I've then got to get the ones where the band are laying the tracks down which once I do I will upload a few.

What a treat to watch these videos Chalky,top class!captures themagic of putting it "together",love it ,phoo ken good stiff.
