Majestic soul isn't far off that, it's certainly small enough

wonderful record Baz

It was musically a great night which Gareth and his brother Anthony as well as David Nossiter and myself (toward the end) used to run a few years back. The main problem was there was a very poor turnout. It's a shame really as I think people are starting to appreciate the slower stuff now (age maybe, or the legs can't dance to the faster stuff as well as they used to) Here are some playlists

I'll get me coat

Hi Tony, I've to dig out the photos of you doing the Question and answer session flanked by Spencer, Percy, J Blackfoot & Oscar Toney Jr in Porretta. Priceless mate, really looking forward to the new releases

too right Kev, after all this is to southern soul what Shrine is to the northern scene

Really enjoyed the show Steve, hope to catch up soon

well done again Ace records, they keep coming up with the goods. Really looking forward to the Fame stuff too, anyone who knows the story is aware that it has taken a hell of a long time to get this wonderful back catalogue out there.

Some wonderful stuff played, well done lads

Thanks Kev, we'll have to get all you guys down from the north east some day

Mine too Mike, wonderful track

I saw him live at Porretta in Italy last year and he was still in fine form. I wonder if someone would think of bringing him over

I missed the Steves show but thanks to Zane listened to it later on. I'm biased as I have always been a big fan of southern soul but do agree with Steve and all the people on here, top drawer soul. Can't wait for Mr Rounce to come down to Majestic soul on thursday and here it out loud

Sounds great Steve, any Fame recording works for me. Look forward to hearing it

Brilliant choice Tony

I remember you playing Johnny gilliam covered up at Stafford Dave.

Willie Tee - Teasin you again, so reminds me of Parkers. Brilliant times

Tony Rounce should be able to answer that as he did a lot of compilations for them with Bob Fisher. Tony is a member on here.

I played it at Majestic soul a few months back and it sounded really good like most of the fountain label, well produced. I'm pretty sure it used to get played by Ian clark but my memory is not what it was

Reminds me of Randys funeral very moving, along with Maxine Brown - it's gonna be alright

Wow, deep soul holy grail record, very nice Dave

Hi Dave, I've been blocked from viewing it Is it the Willie Johnson? I've justposted up the clip of Frankie Gearing in Japan. Do you think a copy of the gig exists? I believe OV Wright headlined around 1980. all the best
