A Big Thank You - and - Ann Sexton Live At The Wilton After the disappointment felt by everyone when Marvin Smith was taken ill and had to cancel his concert last November, we felt like calling it a day with regard to live artists at the Wilton’s Soulful Sessions.

- I was given the thumbs up from Aberdeen's finest DJ and Soul music collector Alan Paterson that a couple of months ago as part of a celebration he held a Soul night in Aberdeen City centre which turned out to be great night out and was well attended - Alan was then asked if there was going to be any more of these type of these Soul nights ? This spurred Alan along with fellow Collector DJ Harry Bowman to start looking around for a easy to get to city centre venue that could be utilised for p

Rest assured though, this is just a temporary and unforseen blip; we'll be back wi
