  4. Details are out of the second release from the Last Bastion Label. First time on vinyl for both of these tracks. Steve Marriott - Lonely No More / Some Kind Of Wonderful - LB02 Release notes follow below Last Bastion Records 'Making Music Matter' A new indie label committed to making recordings available for the first time, on limited edition 45s Hard on the heels of the debut release (LB01 Lou Pride) comes a sensational double A side from the soul of Steve Marriott The two tracks uniquely featured on this 'Soul Man' 45 are from two unreleased 1980's albums. 'Lonely No More' from 1981 was to be the opening track from Majik Mijits, a Steve Marriott/Ronnie Lane collaboration that also featured lead guitar man Mick Green, boss player Jim Leverton, drummer Dave Hynes and keyboard man Mick Weaver (aka Wyder K Frog).It was recorded at the Corbett Theatre in Loughton Essex on Ronnie's mobile studio, The LMS. Sadly the recording coincided with Ronnie Lone being struck down with the crippling disease Multiple Sclerosis therefore no record company would release the record as Ronnie was too ill to go on the rood to promote it. Takes Steve Marriotts prolific collaborations over the decades with ladies of soul including Clydie King, Venetta Fields, Sherlie Matthews, Billie Barnum, Claudia Len near, P.P. Arnold, Doris Troy, Sam Brown and Margo Buchanan are in the main 'invisible' with recordings lost and/or unreleased. In the meantime hopefully this 2nd Last Bastion Records release will give a small insight into the soulful side of Steve,. !st time on 45, originally recorded for unreleased /shelved LPs and includes two of The Small Faces finally re uniting and on the flip, backing vocals from P.P. Arnold again re uniting with Steve." Andy Bellwood (Last Bastion Records) Records What a voice, the late great Steve Marriott sounding as Soulful as ever!" Rob Bailey/Dr Robert (www.newuntouchables.com http://www.lebeatbespoke.com "He (Steve Marriott) had the best white man singing the blues, white soul singer voice ever. He was a black man in a little white body." Jerry Shirley (Humble Pie drummer & various incarnations of Steve Marriott bands) "Both of these tracks, in my opinion, prove that Steve Marriott was most definitely the best British Male R&B/Soul vocalist.... He was authentic, full of expression and all the way "Live. I remember recording those BV's on Some Kind Of Wonderful with Sam Brown and Margo Buchanan. The track was on fire, raw, funky and full of spirit." P.P. Arnold Lonely No More" sees the legendary duo of Marriott & Lane back together for one last time. It's like they never went away. Superb!"

  12. North Wales Soul Club 1973 - Local Newspaper Feature View full article
  13. As the years past it seems more and more archival material is becoming available online, local papers just being one available source for looking back. The British Newspaper archive being just one current source, be a bit wary as once you start digging the hours may fly past. https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/ Used the North Wales Soul Club as an example as it did play a part in my own soul youth, while just a 13 year old kid at the time of the article, memories of a few visits up the stairs to the offices, opposite The London pub on a Saturday do linger along with later trips to the Riverboat. North Wales Weekly News Thursday 16 May 1974 North Wales Club is hub of soul Mention "soul" and you can guarantee the attention of most young people interested in music. So it is not surprising that the following in this area is enough to warrant a soul club the North Wales Soul Club. On Saturday the club opens an office at 100 Upper Mostyn Street. Llandudno. The premises will put not only Llandudno but the whole of North Wales well on the map as a "soul scene." The club already boasting a membership of 200 is the brainchild of Robert Redhead and Gilbert Gilian of Discos Incorporated (Entertainment) Ltd. Llandudno who have been responsible for several promotions during the year, featuring many top name artistes from Britain and the United States. For Robert and Gilbert. May" 18 will see a dream come true. In recent months they have done more for soul fans In North Wales than anyone in the last decade. Discos Inc. started just over two years ago when Robert and Gilbert Joined forces to provide top .line disco entertainment. They do this using SAI (Sound Advice Installations) equipment, of which they have two independent units, coupled with comprehensive lighting effects. Single records which they carry with them number approximately 1.000 and albums total 50. The transportation of all the equipment could become quite a nightmare, but as it was explained. everything is under control thanks to Robert's father, Mr. Roy Redhead described as "road manager." Discos Inc. soon became recognised as.one of the leading soul discos in the area, as well as being able to provide music for any occasion, and they decided it was about time fans were given the chance to see the artistes on stage without having to travel considerable distances. Their first promotion was in October of last year when Major Lance made a big impact at the Dixieland Showbar. Colwyn Bay. As Gilbert explained promotions of this nature require a considerable amount. of administration and therefore on March 28 the North Wales Soul Club came into being and presented their first promotion featuring "Limmle and Family Cookin." As well as providing such entertainment Robert and Gilbert opened a record and badge bar at the dances which proved successful and have now become a feature of their promotions. Annual membership of the North Wales Soul Club costs 15p and enables soul fans to buy records which they would normally find difficult to obtain without such a service as provided by the club. Soul "packs" will be on sale along with American imports and albums. Members will also be able to buy ticket in advance for dances in and out of the area, as the promoters are official ticket agents for the Northern and International Soul Clubs, with whom they will be in close contact.
