Thank you. It is less than 4 months since I last saw Mary. The last time I saw Sheila Ferguson was when she was with the Three Degrees, and I have never seen Thelma Houston or Gwen Dickey so I am looking forward to this.

I went to see Mary at Wembley on the legends tour last year, but have never seen Sheila, Thelma or Gwen. I always thought Gwen Dickey should have been huge. Never really understood what went wrong with her solo career after she left Rose Royce.

I agree Ollie. She ended up doing re-recorded versions of Rose Royce hits when she should have been given original material to record. She settled in the UK many years ago and is often on the concert circuit but until now I have not made the effort to see her. I think Jaki Graham is also on the bill. She had a pretty good voice back in the day.

Cheers Ollie9 but unfortunately I couldn't make this weekend although it is a great line-up I have seen all of the acts on the bill over the years and would think that everyone should have a fantastic time it's just a shame that the weather in the UK is so bad at the moment !

Dickiemint...........if you are intending to wait for a time when the UK weather is good, you'll be too old to travel!

I know a couple of people who are going. They are already there. I should ask them to post pictures.
