Great read Dave Kev

Sy Hytower-Bobby Womack

Couple things to iron out before confirming next one, will message you Kev

Thanks for the kind words Andy, great to speak to you in person for a change, encyclopedia like knowledge on all things soulful, will be in touch for next one Kev

Will it be a nostalgia scene,? will people turn up fresh quality unheard gems ? Thinking about it, to new ears, the records left behind, then become the quality unheard gems as Tim suggested, but I don't think the new ears will be able to go out and sustain the scene as being fresh, will take a long time again, but it will eventually evolve to nostalgia Kev

The golden rule of crate digging is "no stone unturned"

Hi Nic and Gilly, just seen this, hope you are fully recovered and back to yourself, of course you were both missed, goes without saying Will see you both soon for a catch up Kev x

Playlists are up Pete Kev

Wow, my type of playlist, fits in with what looks a great event, when is the next one ? Kev

They were at ours the night before Len, we will be booking them in the near future Kev

Plenty I don't know there Pete,but I know they will be good, many thanks for your support the previous day and night, Steve and Brian got a good thing going down there, we will be descending on it soon Kev

Some people just want it all for themselves, you are in a good place over there, loads of good collectors who I am sure will admire the fact you are collecting at such a young age, Sigs, Robert Galan, Arlene Soulera 5150, Angel Garcia, George Miller Jay and Greg Belson are all down your way and I am sure they would pass on their knowledge to you, in the North, Vic Vasquez, Sleeps, Duke, Cameron Thompson, Deleon brothers etc are all good guys who like sharing the heat. Good on you, keep digging for them gems and ask any of the guys I have mentioned if you need to know anything. Kev

Superb Nicola, Individuals, William Bell and Barbara Acklin just awesome xx

Will be round the table with my mates Pete and Gaz Carl to see what we can agree on Kev

Thanks Tony for the kind comments, it means a hell of a lot to Pete, Gaz and myself and gives us the enthusiasm and motivation to press on and sustain the standards set by the inception of Sweet, Deep and Soulful, great to see you Tony, will keep you up to speed Kev

Brilliant stuff, was going to play James Wayne in Durham Kev

Thanks Jakob, get well soon, will keep you posted Kev

Many thanks for agreeing to help us out at such short notice, my sentiments also to Jakob for a speedy recovery, to hear Double O Domingoes played out at a venue was priceless Steve, Donald Lee Richardson was another beauty as was Love Experience prior to Double O, and on and on, exactly the kind of stuff we were wanting, got lots of good feedback for Steve and Chris but I knew all about them beforehand so no surprises for me there, both of these genuine guys welcome back anytime Kev

Say no more Steve, all I can say is, time for another CD swap Kev

Wow Brian, what must Dyson Faces have sounded like played out loud

Thanks Sigs, we certainly tried our best to, thanks for the kind words,I put a few pics on IG Kev

Awesome collection of Sweet Soul gems Chris, every one a gem, but if I had to pick out any of them as standouts from a standout set it would be a long time fave of mine Devastations-What makes me feel this way, so bloody good and so rare, when you have a chance to be in a room when its played out its an unbelievable experience, also the incredible Mel Production Band-Tears from the rain, awesome and really tough to find. Great to hear all of this played out amongst like minded Soul fans. Fantastic Chris, great to have you and Andy Etheridge up in the North East. Kev

Hi Mike, many thanks for the kind words, the only way I would get involved in an event was to do this, instead of CD swaps and confining your Soul sessions to your record room because you can't dance to the Soul music you love, it's time it became the Main Event and played out instead of a couple of hours here and there in a backroom on an afternoon at a Weekender. Kev
