Listed below are some of the comments I have had from E Mails that have been sent in to the web site.
Kevin
I've been coming to your nights for quite a few years, and have noticed recently that you
seem to be playing more Northern Soul. I realise that you try to cater for all types and that
you definitely have a small Northern crowd who certainly jump on the floor when you play
there music. I just hope that you are not going to become another Northern Soul night as there
are loads of them and to be honest they are not my cup of tea. What you were doing previously
was unique and very much appreciated by loads of us. Please accept this as a friendly criticism
as I love your nights
Carol

Hi Carol - Thanks for your E Mail and the criticism is accepted as it was meant. Don't worry I've
been doing "Handbag Music" for lots of years where the majority of the music has been Motown
or at least from that era. I can tell you definetely I will never become a Northern Soul night - I
didn't in the 60's and 70's and I won't be doing now. I do try to keep most of the people happy
if at all possible but if it comes to Motown or Northern it will always be Motown for me.
Kevin
Thanks for a great night at the Vets on Friday. I'd not been to one of your nights before, but certainly will be coming again. It was a great atmosphere, and I heard some music that I hadn't heard since the days of Bolton Palais. I especially liked the tambourines that was
something different. See you soon
Susan
Hi Kevin
Absolute incredible night last Friday at the Con Club. You must be knackered. Love the new videos on the website especially the Out of Time one, unfortunately we went home before the end. We'll stay to the end next time. See you at the Legion.
Steve & Sue
Kevin
Great night at Walkden last night. These nights just seem to get better every time we come. Not sure if you can get many more in, hope it goes well for you at Little Hulton, I'm sure it will. Hope your voice has improved you sure didn't look too well. All the best for the futue.
Dave & Sue
Thanks for a great night at the Vets last Friday, and also for taking the photos. I'll see you next time, maybe you should have your nights more often.
Joe
Kevin
Absolute Mega Motown at Farnworth on Friday. The best no question about it. Good luck for the future.
Tommy
Hi Kevin
Two ex Motown Virgins here. We were at the Vets last night it was incredible. How you got that many people out in early January i'm not sure. But I can understand why people want to come to your nights, it was so much fun and a great atmosphere. Here's wishing you every success for the future. Keep it going it's great.
Kelly & Ann
Hi Kevin
We were at Farnworth Vets last night and just wanted to let you know that we all thought it was the best night out we have had in ages. We'd not been to one of your nights before and were a bit wary cause we'd been to a couple of Northern Soul nights before and found them a bit intense. But this was just up our street a great atmosphere and music that we thought was wonderful. We loved that bit right at the end when you did that Out of Time thing, I've not seen anything like that for ages. I promise you we will be back again to a few of your nights.
June,Cath,Sheena & Panda
Hello Kevin
Your Christmas night at Walkden last Friday was just great, i think this is the third "Christmas Do" we have attended and they seem to be getting better every year. It certainly helps that the drinks are so reasonably priced.Thanks for the CD, I have added it to my collection of your CD's , they keep me sane when I am driving about every day. We will be back with you in January and hopefully all through next year. Really enjoyed the Out of Time finale, just finnished the night off really well.
Charlie & Claire
Hi
It was good to have the Motown back at Swinton again on Friday. Make sure you keep the faith. Every success for the future.
Ged
Hi Kevin
Just to let you know we thought the Motown night we attended at Boothstown Legion last week was the tops. You obviously know your music and create a wonderful atmosphere. I hadn't been to Boothstown before and it was nice to see a sizeable floor rather than some of the postage stamps you see these days. Not that I am any Fred Astaire but still try to shake a leg now and again. Not seen the "talc" out since the old Palais days. Really great night.
Colin
Kevin
Thanks for another great night at Walkden last night, I can't tell you how much we enjoy our Motown nights. It's such a good atmosphere and a lovely crowd, we feel safe at your nights which isn't something that we can say about all nights we have been to. By the way the music is great, it's right up our street. Keep up the good work.
Sue and the girls.
Mr Lane
We attended our first Motown Night last Friday at the Top Club. Just like to let you know as ex Uncle Toms regulars it was as near as I've ever seen to the "Real Thing". We don't go out too often these days as we both thought the modern day stuff was not for us, but my daughter who had been at the last Top Club night almost hijacked us saying you've got to see this , maybe this is what it was like at that Uncle Toms you keep going on about. You see Kevin we still talk about the place after all these years. I've got to tell you I felt as though I was on some illegal substance and I wasn't drunk, I kept looking at my wife and she had the biggest grin on her face I've seen in years. Thank you so much for bringing back so many happy memories to us both. We loved the guy in the red hat who was dancing on the stage, don't know if he was one of your staff, or just a customer, but he couldn't half dance. Next time I'll come and say hello and shake your hand.
Bernard & Dot
Kevin
Friday night at Walkden must go down as the best ever, and this is coming from somebody who has been at loads of your nights. What an unbelievable atmosphere, I was buzzing that much I couldn't sleep, maybe the booze had a bit to do with that, but really I haven't enjoyed myself that much in years. I can't think of the last time I heard such great music, that just kept on going. You have really got it so right it untrue.
Danny & Sue
Hi Kevin,
Thanks for a great night at The Vets on Friday. It's so good to hear some proper music for a change. All this modern day rubbish drives me mad. As far as I'm concerned you'll never beat Motown. It probably helps that it's the music we all grew up with. I hope your nights continue and go fro m strength to strength, we need this type of night.
Colin
Hi Mr White Suit,
Top Club, top night, top music, top atmosphere, generally top place.Just like to thank you for a great night last Friday at the Top Club. I was talking to this lady who told me this is just like what Uncle Toms Cabin was like. It must have been some club, unfortunately it was before my time. Me and the girls will be back again, in fact we can't wait.
Charlie & The Girls.
Hi Kevin,
What a brilliant night last Friday at Swinton Legion, the whole town was shaking, it was fantastic. Our Christine enjoyed her birthday and she met some old school friends. Your music, site and photo's are fabulous and it's lovely to be able to listen to the best music ever while browsing your site. I don't think I have enjoyed myself so much since the 60's and believe me I have danced for 40 odd years. Keep up the good work and we really appreciate the time and effort you put into the night. See you on Friday in Walkden.
Love
Norma, Christine, Sandra and Win
Hi
Long live the Motown Nights. You've got a new bunch of fans
Sue,Cathy,Gill,Barbara,Kelly & Sam
Hi Kevin
We attended your "Motown Night" at Swinton last Friday and would just like to congratulate you on a job well done. We both love Motown and it was a pleasure to have somebody playing the music who obviously knew plenty about the subject. We've been to "Motown Nights" before where the person playing the music didn't know one from the other. It was a great atmosphere and I'm sure you'll do really well with your nights in Swinton.
Well done, keep the faith.
Bob & Sylvia
Hi Kevin
Thanks for a great night at the "Motown Night" last Friday at Swinton Legion. We really enjoyed ourselves and meet up with some old friends we haven't seen for years. It seems like everybody loves Motown, which is no surprise. Pleased your coming back in January, we'll be there.
Carol & Michelle
Hi Man in White Suit
Can me and the girls just thank you for the best night we have had in years at Swinton British Legion on Friday. We haven't been to a night with such a great atmosphere like that in ages. The music brought back so many memories of long gone youth clubs days, and it was obvious
you knew exactly what you were doing with the music. Shame you are not going to be back there until January, but we will be there waiting. Thanks again Kevin.
Sue and the Girls
Hi Kevin
Just a note to thank you for the Motown Night at Patricroft Conservative Club last Friday. It was a smashing night and me and my friends haven't had such a good night out in ages. I'm pleased to see that you are coming back to Patricroft again and hope that you will make it a regular night. There is definetely the support there for this type of night.
Thanks Again
Geraldine
Kevin
The Motown night at the Con Club was just Mega, it was the best one we've ever been too. Where do you get all these people from. We live in Little Hulton and didn't know many people. The atmosphere was just great. Well done.
Charlie & Syl
Kevin
We really enjoyed it at Patricroft last Friday. It was a really good turn out which was nice to see. At times it was like a "Peter Kay" sketch, people dancing on there way to the dance floor. That's always a sign of a good night. See you at Little Hulton.
The Swinton Divas
Kevin
We came to Patricroft Conservative Club last Friday night for your Motown Night, and would just like to tell you how much we enjoyed it. The music was spot on and it was a great atmosphere. We'll be there on 31st July, we just hope you can make it a regular thing, because there is
definetely a call for it . Well done.
Carol, Brenda & Chas
Kevin
Great night at the Con Club last Friday. Somebody had told me about your nights at Walkden, and I've got to admit it was much better than I imagined. All the ladies seemed to be really into it, mind you when it comes to dancing Motown music can't be beaten. All the best for the future, hope all goes well.
Alf & Dave
Kevin
Your night on Friday really took me back to my youth. I could have really been stood in Barbarellas, the music was just the same. How I wish I was still fifteen, as I was at Barberellas. I'm sure you will be very successful at the Con Club, cause everybody loves the music. See you next time.
Nancy
Kevin
We attended our first Motown Night last Friday at Patricroft Conservative Club and would just like you to know we really enjoyed it. You really seemed to know what you were doing, which isn't always the way on some of the other Motown nights we have been to. You've got three new converts here.
Thanks again.
Sue,Jan & Trish
Kevin
Just one thing to say, the music was bloody brilliant. Would appreciate a bit more James Brown next time. Good man.
Charlie
Kevin
Thanks for a great night at Patricroft Con last Friday. It was great to hear the music of my youth still being played. Shame the music of today isn't as good as Motown. We'll be back on 31st July, and whenever else you are there.
Ralph & Margaret
Kevin
Just like all these other people, I would just like to thank you for another great night at the Con Club last Friday. You seem to create such a nice atmosphere, and there are so many characters about. Everybody seems to be out for a good night, there is none of the usual posers. I never went
to Uncle Toms Cabin I'm too young, but if the atmosphere was as good as your nights no wonder everyone talks about it.
Wendy
Kevin
I've never been to one of your nights before, but attended Little Hulton Conservative club on Friday. I must say it was a revelation, you've most certainly found a niche in the market with your nights. It was a fabulous night, and thanks for some great music. Pleased to hear your going to
Patricroft, it's a bit nearer home for me.
Suzanne
Mr Lane
Your the man, your nights just keep getting better and better. Thanks for keeping the Uncle Toms memories alive. They were such special nights for so many of us. Any chance of getting Jimmy Ruffin on again.
Bob & Barbara
Kevin
Bloody brill, what else can I say. We came to your Motown night for the first time last Friday at Walkden Legion. It seems that we must be the only people who didn't know about your evenings, judging by the number of people who were there. It was a fabulous atmosphere and the music was great, I've not heard some of them for years. We'll be back.
Geoff & Jan
Kevin
Thanks for a great night as always at Walkden last Friday. Every time I come to one of your nights there seems to be more and more people attending. It doesn't surprise me, cause they really are smashing nights.Long may Nostalgie Revue keep rolling.
Susie xx
Kevin
Fantastic - it was the first time for us at one of your evenings.We will definately be coming back. There were eight of us attended last Friday and we all really enjoyed it. We have family in Eccles and are really looking forward to Patricroft. Keep up the good work.
Trev & Brenda
Kevin
Went to my first Nostalgia Revue night last week and it was fantastic. My wife and I had a great time, thanks for putting our picture on the web site.Thanks for bringing back the goodtimes, and getting us out of the house to listen to all the great songs you play.
Gary & Brenda
Kevin
Great to see that you are going to Patricroft Con Club, as you know I've been coming to your nights for years from Eccles, so Patricroft is right on my doorstep. I'm sure it will do really well as Patricroft is a Motown area just like Little Hulton and Walkden. Keep up the good work.
Shirley
Hi Kevin
Had a fab night last night, just got a little too drunk and had to leave early. Shame it was the best yet. Keep up the good work darling.
Diane
Kevin
Last night at the Con Club was bloody brilliant. What an amazing atmosphere, and such nice fun loving people. You and Jimmy are to be commended, and you deserve all the success you are getting. See you at Walkden.
Brian & Mary
Kevin
Weve never been to one of your Motown nights before, but I just had to E Mail you to thank you for a fabulous night. I can tell you we have been all over to Motown nights, but none of them hold a candle to what you are doing. We love the music, and the atmosphere you get is great. It was well worth making the effort of travelling from Salford. Thanks again.
Trudy
Kevin
You've got two new converts to your Motown nights. Great great great I promise you we will be at all of them now.
Barbara & Cathy
Kevin
The nights just keep getting better and better. Last night at Little Hulton Con Club was the best one I've ever been to, I missed Walkden last month as I believe that was great. Thanks Kevin for keeping the memories alive for us all, the music was as great as ever. See you next time.
Heather
Kevin
Thanks for an absolutely brill. night at Walkden Legion last Friday. The music was first class, and brought back so many happy memories for me. You seem to have the knack of creating that never to be forgotten Uncle Toms atmosphere, if only we could turn back the clock,cause I don't think we realised how lucky we were at Toms. Keep up the good work Kevin, you deserve all the success you are getting.
Bobby
Hi Kevin
Had a fantastic night last night at Walkden British Legion, but by God I'm paying for it this morning. Got the shakes badly and got to go to bloody work soon. Your nights keep my social life going. Keep em up.
Diane
Kevin
Three words Fabulous, Marvelous, Terrific. What else can I say Dot and myself have not been to one of your nights before. I can assure you this is the best Motown Night we have ever been to. I can also assure you that we will be back again in future.
John & Dot
Kevin
Just had to drop you a line after last night at Walkden Legion, although I've been to lots of your nights, last night was the best ever. I don't know how you get such a great atmosphere, and such friendly people. I'll be at Little Hulton in a fortnight, no doubt for another great night.
Pamela
Kevin
Thanks to you and all your team for giving us another fabulous night at Walkden Legion last Friday. Good to see it packed out, and everyone in such fine form. You guys certainly know how to do atmosphere.Keep up the good work, all the best to everyone for 2009
Jo
Kevin
Had a great night last night at the Christmas night. Not enjoyed myself that much in years. The Christmas Mistletoe Hat was great, perhaps you could keep it for all nights. See you in January
Diane
Kevin
Great, fabulous, the greatest night of the year at the Christmas night last night at Walkden Legion. What else can I say make sure you keep it going right through next year. By the way loved the Christmas hat.
Samantha
Kevin
Thanks for another great night at The Christmas Do. I'm really sick we've got to wait for another month till it all goes again. You should really have them every two weeks, I'm sure people would turn out, I know me and the girls would.
Sylvia
Hi Kev,
Cracking nite last night at Walkden Legion,great music. Thanks for all the effort you guys put in to bring us these brill nights. Have a great Christmas and a smashing New Year. Will catch you on 23rd January at Walkden Legion.
Tony
Morning Kevin
Just want to say it was a great night last night at Walkden. I really enjoyed it, and I didn't get too drunk. Have a smashing Christmas and will see you in January.
Lynn
Kevin
Another great night at Little Hulton Conservative Club last night. Just like you to know we absolutely love your Motown Nights, they really are the best nights for miles around. Are we coming to the Christmas night at Walkden? Don't be daft we wouldn't miss it for anything. See you at
Walkden.
Love Lisa xxxx
Kevin
Hope your voice has improved after Friday at The Conservative Club. You sounded to be struggling with your cold, I don't believe it was cough medicine you were swigging, looked more like rum to me. Anyhow it was still a fabulous night as usual, we do love our Motown Nights. Hope your better soon, keep the music playing.
The girls from Farnworth
Kevin
I attended my first Motown night last night at The Con Club, it was crazy, I never knew that you had them, although the room seemed to be full of loads of people I knew. Nobody had ever told me about them. You have most certainly recreated the old Uncle Toms atmosphere, I never thought I'd see that again. Thanks for bringing so many happy memories back to me, just like the old days. Even managed to over dose on vodka, as I said it was just like the old days. Any chance of you doing my birthday party next May? I'll give you a ring.
Linda
Kevin
The motown nights are just MAGIC !!
Julie
Kevin
Having read some of the comments, you seem to have lots of fans for your Motown Nights. Just for the record here's some more praise. Your music is great to someone like me who is a complete Motown freak. I liked the way you played mostly what I call Detroit Motown, you'll know what I mean (Funk Brothers backing). It was a really friendly crowd as well. Keep the music alive.
Bob
Hi
I caught your recent Motown Night at Walkden, just a few comments. As a newcomer to your nights I don't know how I haven't found you before, i was talking to a girl who said she had been to every one you have held going back about two years. You've got the music spot on, I ongratulate you. The atmosphere was really friendly. The main point of my mail, you're giving it away, that night was worth £5 of anyones money, anyone who doesn't agree with me wants to try some of the other motown/soul nights about. Thanks for a great night.
Jimmy
Kevin
Sorry to hear that you've moved your Christmas event to Walkden. I believe there was a cock up with the bookings, it a shame cause I can walk home from Little Hulton(usually drunk). So it looks like a taxi to Walkden, never fear I wouldn't miss it for anything. I like the Walkden floor, plenty of room for dancing. Thanks for keeping the memories alive Kev.
Alan
Kevin
Good to hear that the Christmas Do is at Walkden Legion. It's my favourite place of the clubs that you go to. There is more room at Walkden. I think you will find that you've got a sell out on your hands.
Keep the Motown flowing.
Denise
Hi Kevin
Thanks for a great night recently at Walkden Legion, we really enjoyed ourselves, some of the girls hadn't been before. i promise you they will be coming again. Great to hear that you are having your Christmas night at Walkden, we really like it there.
Janice
Kevin/Jimmy
Greatest night out in a long time.
Just to say thanks for reviving the Uncle Toms nights. I think i've only missed one since you've started up when I was away working in the states.I think the Little Hulton Conservative Club is an excellent venue and so close to Toms spiritual home as well.
Cheers for now Keep up the good work.
Danny.
Dear Kevin,
Seeing as you are by far the best DJ I have had the pleasure to listen and dance to for a long time, any chance of you playing a few off my list during the evening. Love these nights, Keep up the good work,
Keep the faith.
Tony
Kevin
I love you. Thirty years ago I might have fancied you. You have re awakened me musically. Where have all these songs been for the last 25 years. The atmosphere was fabulous. I went home feeling 20 years younger. Me and the girls will be regulars now.
Sharon
Kevin
This is Australia. Yes we are watching.
Ken (In Australia)
Hi what a great night. I've not been out with an atmosphere like that in years. I've never seen so many happy faces since we were kids.Also the musics first class, you don't hear this sort of music in many places now.
Keep the Nostalgia Revue running.
Linda
Mr DJ
I remember you from years ago, your no better looking now than you were then. But seriously your still playing the same fabulous music.I salute you, keep up the good work.
Johnny
Hi Kevin
The atmosphere on Friday was fantastic, I am only just coming back down to earth. Keep up the good work that you and Jimmy are putting into it. It's obviously paying off. I will keep trying to get more people to come. My friends and I love your music. See you soon.
Love Wendy.
Have never been to one of your nights before. Was at the Conservative Club last night and had the most enjoyable night I've had in ages. It was great to be in a place with so many happy people. I've not seen the rowing dance when they all sit on the floor for years. May be next time me and my friends will be brave enough to join in. I promise you there will be a next time, we were even arranging it on the way home last night. Thanks for a fab night.
Jenny. (Had a terrible head this morning)
Kevin
Thanks for yet another marvelous night last night at The Con. You know I so love these nights. I'm starting to plan my life round them. Love the music on the website too.
Love Carol
Kevin
Your Motown nights are great I really look forward to them and enjoy them. I never went to Uncle Toms Cabin, I wasn't old enough, some of my school friends used to go to the Kids Disco. I wasn't allowed, my mu m said it wasn't the sort of place I should go to. That made me want to go even more. If the atmosphere was half as good as on your Motown nights it must have been some club. Please please please keep the Motown nights going.
Dianne
Kevin
Loved the Conservative Club last Friday night, am pleased to see you are now having the Motown nights more regularly. I was getting withdrawal symptons having to wait 4/5 weeks. Don't worry we will all be at the Cricket Club.
Lynn
Great night at the last Motown night.
Dunbo69 (whoever you are)
Hi Kevin
Had another great night at The Cricket Club on Friday. The atmosphere was great. See you in two weeks at The Con.
Christine
Kevin
Another great night at Little Hulton Conservative Club last night. I've not enjoyed myself so much in years. Keep up the good work.
Janice
Hi Kevin
Thanks for another fab night last night at the Con Club. Me and the girls are coming to Walkden, sure it will be successful. We can't get this atmosphere anywhere else.
Sue
Mr Lane
I remember watching you at Uncle Toms Cabin thirty odd years ago. The musics the same so is the atmosphere. Where have you been hiding for the last thirty something years. Last thing I heard you had gone to Torquay.Keep it going we'll be back.
Peter
Kevin & Jimmy
Came to my first do last night at Little Hulton Con. The music was first class, I've not danced that much for ages. Thought I might need a heart transplant by the end of the night. You achieved a feat keeping me on the floor for that long. Thanks for a great night.
Bob
Kevin
It keeps getting better every event I attend. I love Motown with a passion and it's good to have somebody who obviously understands it and was there first time round. Please keep the memories alive for me.
Claire
Hi
Those few hours at the motown nights - it's like going back to a better time and place.
Musicman
Hi
Came to your show at The Legion last night, I've never been before it was great. Please come back to The Legion soon. Love the photos on the web site too.
Sylvia
Kevin
You know we travel quite a way to come to your nights, last night was better than ever. What an atmosphere. We'll be at The Con Club.
John.
Hi
Best night I've had out for years at Walkden last night. Thought the music was great and such a friendly crowd.When am I going to win one of these teddy bears. Thanks for the CD too.
Barbara.
Hi Kevin
Walkden Legion
Another superb night was had, excellent music,excellent venue, and
excellent turn out. What a great bunch of people.
Mark and Janice.
Hi
Sorry it has taken me a couple of days to write. I just had to tell you what a great night we had last Friday at Walkden Legion.I'd never heard about these nights before, seems that everybody else knew about them except me. The atmosphere was unbelievable, the music was fabulous, and what a cracking crowd. Hope you'll be back at the Legion soon, if not me and the girls will be coming to Little Hulton. Thanks again.
Cheryl
Kevin
Thanks for the CD you gave me at Walkden Legion. We had a party last weekend and we just kept playing it. It went down a bomb. Thanks again.
Carol.
Hi Kevin
It was lovely to see you again recently at Little Hulton Conservative Club. You hadn't changed a bit and it must have been at least 35 years since I last saw you at Uncle Toms. Oh how I still miss that place even after all this time, when I think of some of the things I used to get up to there, its probably a miracle I'm still here. The music was still the same after all this time, I've not enjoyed myself so much in years. Hope to see you soon.
Sue.
Hi Kevin
Another great night at the Con Club last Friday, we do so love our Motown Nights and hope they last forever. Only one criticism can you get rid of the Amy Winehouse etc. we can hear that music anywhere, I realise you are only trying to keep everybody happy, but your much better at Motown.We'll see you at Walkden. Keep up the good work.
Barbara
Kevin
We came to our first Motown Night at Walkden Legion on Friday. We'd just like to congratulate you on a fabulous production. Everyone seemed so happy and it was a lovely atmosphere. Good to hear lots of that Uncle Toms Cabin music again. I used to go to Toms but Gail wasn't old enough.Hope you will be back at The Legion soon, you're on to a winner with your format.
Danny & Gail
Kevin & Jimmy
It was ace at the Walkden Legion on Friday. These nights just keep getting better and better. Where is this Armitage place? We'll be there, sure the taxi driver will know where it is.
Brenda
Kevin
To quote Abba which I know is not your style "THANK YOU FOR THE
MUSIC" It was great. Keep up the good work.
Jim
