Some killer ballads from Lenny Welch, as good as any.

Heard it played out at Roman's excellent Burnley 'lost souls ' Sunday session last week, don't mean to be disrespectful but doesn't come close to the JJ Barnes classic. The difference between running and walking for me, somewhat underwhelming, but respect to Neil for getting it out there.

Love the label logo, very good that.

He was the last to interviewJohn Lennon two days before his assassination, there's a great documentary about it. He was on BBC radio Manchester in the early 70's, always liked his presenting style, another sad loss.

She sounds like Mrs Merton!!

Coming thick and fast at the moment, sadly. Great version of Flowers 'for real'

Saw him a few years ago in Manchester, sat at the piano with a slideshow behind him, one of the best live appearances i ever saw. The jaw dropping stories had everyone spellbound, especially when he spoke about Glen Campbell.

Happy birthday Joan, have a lovely day, hi to Tony..see you around hopefully xxx

Tearjerker from the lady

So the 4 from 8 are finally honoured for their contribution to British music, long deserved, particularly for the Amoo brothers.

Jimi Hendrix purple haze "s'cuse me while i kiss this guy"

Only found out today at Carl Willingham's funeral,from Tony Mac, get well soon Mark. Chas.

Not seen Carl or Maria for several years, some fantastic times with them, in the clubs or at their house for the legendary barbecues. One of the real good guys for sure. Thinking of Maria and the family at this sad time. Charlie xx

What a strange combo, Jobell,Andre Maurice and brothers and sisters were huge Ritz, Mecca tunes. Wouldn't expect 'being without you' to be on the same disc.. but hey!!

The other week, Huey Morgan featured this track on his 6 music show, it hit me straight away as maybe something I'd heard at a Sunday afternoon session somewhere, until he back announced it. I do like the track but maybe it's a rabbit hole we shouldn't go down?
