Just giving my bedroon a bit of a tidy and came across a flyer ( laminated,so a bit posh then) for The Queens Hall in Widnes dated 1st May 1992....A couple of

questions......J.J Barnes was in the main room and Rich was in the modern room.....l never went there even though l lived the first 17 years of my life in the town l never went to Soul-Do there......l 'm sure that l could google this but where's the fun in that? lronically enough this was my dads name and he also was a professional singer but he died in 77 so it surely wasn't him.........but any info would be gratefully accepted.......Thanks a milllion!!

Is the spelling right Webby? I know of a Rick Webb. Other than that dunno.

Don't think I've ever been to a venue in Widnes either?

it is Rick Webb......just phoned up my mate to have a look on my bed......any info,Chalks?

I've one track on my PC called "Think About It" from a Soul Sauce comp (vol 3) of Dickies. Dunno if there is anything in the sleeve notes about him, I'll have a look when I get the chance.

just found this one on youtube.....

The record label is Washington Hit Makers and Rick Webb was the vice president of it. He released an album called Sitting On Your Doorstep which I have somewhere but never played it so I can't say what it's like.

The Maxx Kidd on the label scan is Carl Maxx Kidd of the Enjoyables on Shrine fame.
