loved my own venues which i did in the late 80,s / 90,s with Keith Brady, Carl Farrington, Kev Appleton Leigh Miners / Legion and Earlstown Irish Club.. Ive met so many wonderful people over the years due to the Soul Scene and become friends with so many
ive met many many Artist who where my heroes and what lovely people they are far to many to mention but over the past several years all the Artist ive met at Prestatyn Weekender in Wales have been brilliant lovely soulful people who i could,nt praise enough for their love and kindness.
