Darrow Fletcher... tonight.... postponed

Unfortunately Darrow Fletcher was turned away at Chicago O’Hare airport on Tuesday night because his passport was too scruffy. It’s a new one on me, all the information was readable because he had scanned that and sent it over and we had got him his work visa through that information: that was not good enough for the airline people though. He spent the whole of Wednesday in the passport centre and they issued it at the end of the day, by which time he was too late to make his standby flight. When he got to the airport they said he had missed today’s flight as well but could fly on Thursday evening, which of course gets him here on Friday morning, which means he can fulfil his appearances in Scotland and Yorkshire, but will be too late for the 100 Club tonight.

However we have been able to postpone it by a week, as the club is free on Thursday 8th November at the same 8pm-2am times. I apologise about the lateness of this postponement but we were hoping right up to midnight last night that he would make the plane (all this has just happened of course). This morning has been spent rearranging the event and now notifying everybody personally.

If you have bought tickets and cannot make next Thursday, we will send out a full refund, just let me know by email. If some friends can now come we will have a few extra tickets so they can purchase those over the next couple of days. If you were on the guest list and now cannot make it please let us know about that too.

I am particularly happy to have been able to rearrange the show for Darrow who was nearly in tears at the thought of letting down his fans and missing out on what will be a terrific night.

Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience caused and hopefully we can share a drink in celebration next Thursday.

PS If anyone is stuck in London tonight looking for soul music, I'll be heading to the Majestic soul night which is free and plays a wonderful across the board mainly modern with quite a few 60s soul set. It's at the Horse and Groom pub 28 Curtain Road EC2A 3NZ 6.30pm till at least midnight.

Thanks for everything, Ady.

I think that all us continental Soul Fans & Mods are in eternal debt with Kent Rds., the 6ts Society and all of your effort!

Have no fear Steve we whooped it up splendidly at the Majestic and Wendy and her co-Horst danced their socks off along with Dave from Braintree and the Feltons from Salop also stranded in the Capital on a school night. It was some do. Ady

Saw him Saturday night in Dumfries.. Was excellent

Fantastic!!!! I can't make London, so I'm seeing him Saturday in Yorkshire.

I've been waiting for my mate, Mark Linton, to report back on his performance, but Mr Linton must still be in recovery :lol: so cheers for the update.

Everyone lucky enough to see him in London, enjoy yourselves :thumbsup:

It was a bit surreal. I was the first Dj on, on Saturday night, as i walked in he and the band were still doing their sound check. He was singing Changing by the minute which is my fave tune of his, which i so happened to have on me.. So of course i got him to sign it!. Had a good chat with him Sunday afternoon.

That sounds awesome !!! I hope I get chance to talk to him, & pray that I don't get all starstruck !!

The only vinyl i've got of his is on the Groovy label (The Pain gets a little deeper) so unless I can find a thin silver pen I'll have to make do with him signing my cd ... that is, if I can bring myself to ask him without stuttering lolol

I'm so pleased he went down well in Scotland. London are going to love him !!!

Thanks for sharing your experience

Regards
