Incredibly sad news that Ray Laycock has passed away 🙏🏻
Such a lovely chap, and many of you will remember him from his fantastic DJ sets at the Northern Soul & Motown nights I hosted in Braunton.
Our thoughts are with his wife Pauline and his family.

Sad news that Duke Fakir, the last of the original Four Tops has left the stage aged 88.

Hard to believe it’s a decade since Bobby Womack left the stage - such a talent. Will play some of his tunes on Saturday night as a tribute 🙏🏻

Remembering the legendary Bobby Womack who sadly passed away on this day ten years ago, he was born on March 4th 1944 and sadly passed away in 2014 at the age of 70. From his time with family band The Valentinos, when he wrote the Stones classic "It's all over now" in 1964, up until shortly before he died he produced nothing but excellence.
I saw him open his show at London's Hammersmith Odeon in 2002 with this monster track, it's in the opening sequence to Quentin Tarantino's 1997 movie "Jackie Brown", on the United Artists label, recorded in 1973 "Across 110th Street".
