Just back from the Prestatyn Soul Weekender !!!!!
Tavares put on an incredible show, Dean Parrish was [[as always) very good, UK guy Tony Momrelle & his band put on a great performance ... AND ... the Velvelettes delivered a VERY smooooth live show.
Starting out doing covers of Motown anthems [["Money", "My Guy" "Dancing In The Street", etc.) they then went on to do all their own tracks. A very good, polished & professional show it was too.
The ladies were very friendly and helpful, seemed to enjoy their post-show "signing session" enormously and were just generally all around nice people.
I left site early Sunday afternnon [[as I had to meet up with my wife who had been enjoying a spa break in Chester), so disn't really get to say bye ... BUT .... yesturday I was wondering around Chester city centre and came upon one of the ladies .... they were all out shopping in Chester before they had to fly home ... so that was an added bonus.
MIND YOU .... meeting her on the street like that so phased me, that I forgot to take her photograph.
I did get loads of photos of them around the weekender site, during their sound check plus during the actual show ......... so I'll post a couple of those up when I've had the chance to 'catch up' and download the pictures to my computer.
MORE LATER.
