As 'Kev Thomas' stated in his first thread here 'Rob' will be giving his side of the situation in the next couple of days as he has a 'right to reply' to this, so perhaps it best that we let 'Rob' speak and from that let's hope that there is a resolution and an end to this very sad sorry state of affairs, IMO it's just another negative situation that's dragging the scene down and is really something I feel that we can all do without. Respect to all parties involved here but please try and put it to bed now. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

List updated. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Good morning Soul Sources or should I say Brothers and Sisters?....lol now the object and goal of this thread today is to reach 10,000 hits come on we can do it! The plot thickens and the tention builds, just trying to inject some humour into this one before we all lose the will to live.....lol Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Night, Night Phil sleep well...lol Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Bugger me Taffy, Ady Croasdell, Steve Woomble, Steve Manion etc. etc. what is this a DJ convention or what?????lol Regards - Mark Bicknell.

He's here now Steve, lurking....lol come on Winnie lad say something even if it's hello!!! Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Wow I can honestly say that I have never seen so many people looking at one thread on here like they are on this one, over 50 members as we speak, imagine how much more we could all share and learn about the really important stuff like the music, it's history, records, artists etc. etc. for example????? No disrespect to the people involved or mentioned here but is this not getting a little out of control now? I find Rob Thomas a very decent chap and consider him a mate as I do James but this really seems to have no ending this one, I wish you could just work out this problem and soon. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Just got off the phone with Carl Lewis at 'Starpoint Radio' and all is looking good for myself getting a regular weekly show on the station, please note that this coming Sunday's show October 14th I am simply covering one of Mr Kevin Roberts shows and will not be my regular slot, the regular time slot for the show is TBC as soon as possible so stick with me on that one please, I was unaware who's show I was covering when originally asked and I'm sorry for any missunderstanding or confusion regarding this, we will keep you posted via Soul Source and via the forum on www.starpointradio.com of all developments regarding this, sorry to all concerned if I was unclear on all the details in my original posting here. Many thanks to everyone for the many Emails and messages supporting me and this new show, the feedback has been superb after a little over twenty four hours, many people have already registered with the free forum on 'Starpoint' and it seems many have already set up their Sky box Channel already in advance of Sunday' show which can only be good for the station, check out the very easy instructions to do this on the home page of the web site www.starpointradio.com and you can also listen via the net. Thanks again - Regards Mark Bicknell.

Well not back to normal just back to basics lol, thanks for your support. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

So kind, thanks for the vote of confidence. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Come on see if we can get 6000 hits on this thread before tea time....lol Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Cheers Tony and Coleby, I have sent out a generic email to a few people in my mailbox, if anyone can spread the word as it were and wants the email to forward to friends etc. please feel free to email me bicknellmark@aol.com and I will gladly forward it to you, thanks in advance. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Thanks Pete. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

I totally agree with you Joan, I was simply trying to make some sense of this from the two guy's involved perspective rather than it being my own personal view regarding credit or kudos to others rather than the artists. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Thanks Dean for your comments and kind words, not sure of the bigger picture yet regarding day,slot,times etc. but will post on here as soon as everything is confirmed. See you soon pal. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Crazy Tony....I'll get my coat....lol Regards - Mark Bicknell.

For what it's worth here's my two bobs worth on this one, perhaps James you should have risen above this if there was the intention to stick the knife in or undermine you? I know your passion and commitment gets the better of you and it's in your nature to take action if you think something is wrong or out of step with you and the way you conduct yourself as a DJ, not owning any one off's or studio discs myself the only example I can give is this; when DJ'ing if another DJ plays X,Y,Z etc. before I go on which I may have in the playbox then I simply play something else, I feel that there is more to this situation than meets the eye and perhaps as already suggested it's an issue that James and Rob need to work out between them rather than on an open forum? Perhaps Rob feels he deserves some credit or recignition for this track as does James? so perhaps it's more about personal satisfaction and credit than the actual act and situation it's self? Perhaps if Rob have had spoken to James first on the history of the track that Rob infact has had it for ten years then it would have been simple for James to perhaps give some credit to Rob when he plays it in the future? Instead we have this somewhat difficult situation which is I feel based more on who discovered it first? From my own personal perspective I never play anything less than the real deal authentic original or sourced legit formats such as Kent Anniversary 45's for example, personally I would have not removed the record in question but would have questioned the reasons behind the action direcly to the person responsable there and then. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

This came totally out of the blue Dawn, nice to be given the chance to play a few tunes again on the radio, thanks as ever for your comments and support and if all goes well we will do that show together....lol Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Ed, It's certainly a different set up to last time and I'm happy to do it, no funding issues or pressure and yes there is something in place regarding tuneage....lol thanks for your comments and support. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Thanks Paul/Sue, leaving Solar was never about my lack of commitment, interest or passion to do it rather more to do with funding which you know more than most, onwards and upwards and again thanks for your support in advance........now to plan the first show.....what to play?????? watch this space. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Thanks mate, infact thanks to all the comments, messages, phone calls, Emails etc. etc. so far, your support as ever is really special...spread the word if you can and join me next Sunday www.starpointradio.com Regards - Mark Bicknell.
