Yes he is good live, he was on at Cleethorpes and went to see him he likes to mix with the crowd and I had a good chat with him. Hes a nice bloke. and has some good storys to tell. Strange seeing him the flesh. Hes a small bloke . with gray hair and when you see him sing the Voice just dosnt seem to match the the person your eyes are looking at Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Any thoughts on the venue and DJ line up? The venue if ok, a little small, its on the seafront in hove and very easy to find get cabs etc. DJ's are pretty good (though i admit to having limited knowledge as bit of a newcomer to the scene) Steve Mcmahon is from the Worthing soul club I have heard hi a few times and he has always done the business. should be a good turn out as I know a few who are going.

Soulsmith Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Seen him twice, but won't see him again. Its just too weird. His voice doesn't fit the body. Yes I know awesome voice and all that, but it just doesn't work for me. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Perfect for those who have Guy Fawkes duties on the 5th! We are seeing him on the Friday night as he is performing at Hemsby Scooter Rally....

Tomangoes Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Was Dean a hit in the 60s or just a local singer etching a living like most of our heroes. Strange thing, it can sometimes spoil the song when you see the artist years after the release. Lots of that on the 'Strange World of Northern Soul' DVD. Herbert Hunter for example. On the other hand seeing Brenton Wood do the 'Gimme little sign' jig in LA made the song better. Ed Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 To be honest tomangoes, none of the artistes were well presented in the strange world of northern soul. Don't use that as a future guide when deciding to support live acts Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Dayo Posted November 7, 2005 Author Share Posted November 7, 2005 It was awesome - what a night! Voice like a train and smack in tune. Made a total fool of myself worshiping the old fella on stage - but who cares? So glad we made the trip from Kidderminster. Colin Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
