Dave Thorley

I sold the first few for £15, then the last 3 at £25. No problem Dave

Plug I know, but get yourselves over to Bamberg next year and experience it for yourselves. Great weekend, stunning city, cool people.

Hi All Found a bunch of these a while back, sold them all on the same day at the last Lifeline weekender. Really nice 70's crossover version of Lover come back to me on Polydor. Will try and put up sound clip if I can get the hang of this new system. Anyone got any more info on the band's line up at the time.

He's asked if he can sit behind someone's sales box just to give the night that authentic look Steve Lloyd has now built a great page at www.soulstuff.co.uk with all the info for the night on

Put it on Ebay

Morning Jerry Did that young Paul O'Brien ever do it ?

The Germans, Spanish, Italians and Scandinavians

Goood morning all you monday morning sourcers, a few tunes for sale above

Some a bit confused by all that went on there, and that's no great suprised. Three/four different promoters, two venues, lots of dj's so here's a bit of a breakdown (best I can remember, with a few spelling mistakes) and I might have missed the odd dj. Inter-City Soul Club-John 'Kojak' Harvey Started at Stars & Strips (Two rooms, main room northern, upstairs funk) finished at The Baths as a one room event. Dj's Kojak Pep Blue Max Steve Smith Marc Mouise Dave Thorley Mac Soul Twins Brian S Dave Godin (Twice) Bob Mean Smokey Richard Marsh Southern Soul Club-Dinks Stars & Strips, Sterling Suite DJ's Ian Clark Tony Ellis Paul Guntrip & Jacko Roch & Bob Dave Greet Hippo Mac Dave Thorley Shay Soul Sam (Guest) Tony Warrott South West Soul Club-Nick Mcavoy Stars & Strips, Sterling Suite DJ's Nick Mcavoy Ian Clark Tony Ellis Dave Thorley Hippo Dave Greet Ady Pountain Dave Withers Gary Rushbrooke Paul Guntrip & Jacko (I think) Andy Golding Stars & Strips Management (last few) Stars & Strips, Sterling Suite DJ's Ian Clark Tony Ellis Dave Thorley Hippo Dave Greet Ady Pountain Dave Withers Gary Rushbrooke

Hi Guys I put this up under Malayka's sign on. Someone must be able to help, believe me Popcorn would love to see it Dave

Glad to be of service. How's record sales young man, did you ever get your self hooked up with Gemm Dave

As Tony has said above, the production values where very much the same. Sledge hammer beat, puchy horns, big string arrangement, powerful vocals, all done with little finess (and that's not a negative). In short 70's stompers (as they were indeed called by some at the time they were played). Where as many of what is termed crossover/modern soul, is slower, often guitar or keyboard lead, vocals are more often than not more subtle, often closer to deep soul style. So I can see full well why 60's northern fans would prefer one over the other. Different strokes for different folks.

It has been all over the site for the last few days under several treads, sorry maybe should of linked it. But it's not a great subject, was just trying to do something positive.

I'll just close the tread, it's more trouble than it's worth. As I have said Rob & Karen Wigley have been asked to leave the management of the weekender. Will anyone know the full story ?, I dought it. But who cares, if only for their contribution in the past to the UK soul scene I gave people that are aware to some extent, of recent happenings a chance to voice some positive remarks and support. If you not aware of anything that has recently happen or don't not know who they are, don't contribute. If you are asking for 'Stop the car as you drive by' blow by blow account, i'm sure that can be found if you try. As has been said by several on here and comfirmed by people at the event, they were asked to leave after an incident at the weekender. Little thanks for all the years they have put in, what ever happened

And I'm sure you'll never hear the full story. But it does seem that Rob one of the main movers behind the very sucessful weekender has parted company with them and I happy to show some support, even at this early stage.

I'll start this, as I've never really DJ'd there, so have no real motive for doing this. Other than I know how hard it is as a promoter, when your up, people want to knock you down. Don't really know him, only spoken to him a a few times and he seems a nice guy. But he has done a fantastic job with the weekender and I know first hand that many artists in the US have been so pleased to perform there. So lets be having you words of support for the guy, may help in the future or lift his spirits

Always a pleasure to help out an old mate struggling. By the way should be coming up in a few weeks after doing Silks, is there a rate on rooms Dave

Well Ken at this rate, you may well get it. I'm just amazed at such a poor response

No young man you don't understand, any black record recorded between 1st jan 1960 and 31st dec 1969 is soul eveything else is shit

After the great memories revived by Simon M's review last month in Manifesto. Here's your chance to own a nice US white demo Glitter Band-Makes you blind-Arista Highest offer gets it

Luther Vandross-Never to much, has me in tears every time

You need to 'wait for the beat' I've learn't some new moves
