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 :thumbsup:

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.

I would recommend seeing him defo. I saw him at rehearsals with Maxine (with Randy) and he was brilliant :D:thumbsup:

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.

But he is such a nice guy :thumbsup:

Yeah I know. But he looks like my uncle Tony.

Which I hasten to say is not a bad thing.

Its just a bit too odd for me.

Just go Col but keep your eyes shut karen_bridges_anime02.gif

and it's a superb venue IMO

He's also playing at "Central" in Kettering , Northants on Sunday Nov 6th. There's a mini dayer, 5-12. £10.00 to get in. Perfect for those who have Guy Fawkes duties on the 5th! whistling.gif

Ooh, that were below 'belt. Truth be told, I find it hard asking for a pint of creme de menthe.. :rolleyes: bada bing bada boom.

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

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 :rolleyes:

He was awesome at Hemsby... going to bed now as havn't slept since Thursday night :unsure:

will add pics tomorrow and if i can add the 20 sec clip of him singing i'll add that as well....

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.
