Has anyone spotted Tommy Hunt is Tescos?

i think it would be interesting and funny to hear any stories similar to this.

I will start with a funny story regarding my mate Paul from Sheffield.

Paul lives in a flat on the third and top floor of a complex near the city centre of Sheffield. Three doors down from Paul lives an older black guy who would often say hello and chat with Paul. This guy told Paul he was from Detroit and moved to Sheffield in the late 60s. Paul was impressed by this and began to talk about soul music etc. This guy showed interest so over the space of a few years, Paul would pass on cd's and books much to the approval of his neighbour.

Then a few months ago at the Greatstone, Paul and i was sat in a corner reading the 'Soul Up North' fanzine. Paul turns the page and looks shocked to say the least that is neighbour is the main feature.

'Bloody hell!, its Richard!.....what is he doing in here??!!'

After further reading, Paul discovers his neighbour of all these years was Ritchie Pitts, lead singer of the Velours!

Why on earth Ritchie never said anything to Paul escapes me but it does add to the charm of the man in my opinion.

Paul is a huge soul fan and hasn't missed many weekends since starting in the early 80s. He was and still is a little embarrased by this story so i hope he isn't reading :wicked::(

Anymore stories out there?

I know it still isn't soulful, but I was on a flight to Majorca and Kenny Lynch was going to a pro celeb golf competition.

Ah...we've all met Steve Cato :lol: Didn't know he played golf tho :lol:

And where is the "All About Soul" moderator Steve when you need them :shades::lol: ....
