Hi!

I had a nice chat with Bettye:

Also Greg Watson is featured... plus a review of John Lias' book.

Best regards

Have seen many live soul acts over the years but can't think of any as spellbinding as Bettye Lavette at Cleethorpes w/ender (1994 I think). You could have heard a pin drop during 'Let me down easy' - totally took the room to another place

Bettye spent some considerable time with us that weekender ......  though she always put on a great show by then she HATED doing NS shows and told us so at every opportunity. She refused to do any after she went big with the US rock crowd BUT it seems she needs the money again now. So, she's doing them once again.

Roburt...she quoted she was fed up of NS fans shouting out for her to sing 'make me yours'!!!...so we can't blame her...seen her a few times i think she's great live act...i've also heard NS fans bemoan her singing the slower stuff!
