The fantastic Barbara Mason show at the Jazz Cafe a couple of years ago - a real 60'/70's soul show was poorly attended.<br />The problem with The Northampton one was the incredible weekend cost, the organisation and the fact that a lot of people didn't believe they would actually show.<br />John Marriottjohn marriotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16114463065908376974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258459.post-68436532802274008462012-09-11T12:22:22.495+01:002012-09-11T12:22:22.495+01:00I couldn't agree with you more Harry.

Hey Nick !<br /> It is A-MA-ZING that The Impressions are still going and what's even more amazing ( or to put it mildly...disturbing) that the gigs by these legends are not sold out the moment they've been announced ! When we saw them ( 24-5-2008, Northampton)the hall was only full for 3/4... It seems a lot of British punters rather go to some "Northern Soul do" to hear a "famous" DJ put on a Impressions 45 than watching the real thing on their doorstep . To us Dutchies it's unbelievable !!!<br /> Take care Harry van Vliet<br /> www.fingerpoppinsoul.nl Harry van Vlietnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258459.post-61832411287056235012012-09-09T16:58:29.766+01:002012-09-09T16:58:29.766+01:00Graham Joyce said: Yup, a good review of a good sh...Graham Joyce said: Yup, a good review of a good show Nick.<br />Brian Clark commented: Good review Nick, so glad I managed to catch their Friday show, which must have been exactly the same set as the show you witnessed.
