Any advice on soul events and record shops would be most welcome for when we return on our way back to the uk - love the historic centre but ain't found any vinyl emporiums or details of any soul events

Eurostar will be transporting us to Lille in a few weeks, so please post some positive responsives (but I'm not allowed to buy any more records these days, so if the wife asks ... I never posted this).

Best collection I ever bought came from Lille, myself and Kev Johnno borrowed a van to go and pick it up, coming off the ferry we had both windows open a sudden gust of wind blew the map and directions into the harbour :lol: luckily we had a phone number. The guy had come over to Kent/London in the late sixties/early seventies just buying soul. He had auctioned it of over 6 lists, we asked what he was doing with the unsold items, he let us have them at a nominal sum, about 1600 45s and 6-700 albums. Always had a soft spot for Lille, happy days
