Hi Guys,
I am writing on behalf of Kev Roberts & Richard Searling in the UK. Both Kev & Richard are two of the most successful Soul music promoters in England promoting events under the ‘Togetherness’ banner.
One such event is the annual all weekend Soul festival held each November, which is the biggest of its kind in the UK with over 2,500 Soul fans attending each year.
We have recently completed our 9th weekender at this venue and are finalising details for our 10th Anniversary weekender.
For a number of years now we have been looking into the possibility of bringing Dennis Edwards over to the UK for a one off special solo performance of his ever, popular material on the Northern Soul scene. This consisting of his work from the early days of Motown and The Contours to his more obscure work with The Temptations such as ‘Gotta Find A Way To get You Back’ to name just one of his large repertoire.
Togetherness are considered the experts in bringing acts to the UK Soul fans with a enviable list of artists:
Brenda Holloway
Kim Weston
Ali – Ollie Woodson
The Originals
Willie Hutch
James Conwell
Gene Chandler
Prince Phillip Mitchell
Eddie Holman
JJ Barnes
Garland Green
Bunny Sigler
Ruby Andrews
Marvin Smith
Barbara Lynn
And many more, far to numerous to list.
We aim to make Dennis Edwards our next headline act.
Casual discussions did take place in the States a number of years ago were Dennis indicated his interest in visiting the UK once again with ‘Togetherness’ we would like to make this dream a reality and this is were I require the board members help.
We have contacted HI-C management but as the nature of this proposed event ‘Togetherness’ have a policy of not dealing with agents therefore we have to deal with Dennis directly. This also leads back to the nature of the event with us just wanting to book Dennis Edwards and for him to perform the material which he is not normally associated with to his fans in the UK. So it is logical as well as essential that we deal with Dennis directly so we can explain the nature of the event to him.
Therefore I am asking anybody who has direct contact details available for Dennis Edwards could they pass them on to me through email at: livesey1@hotmail.com …<br>
Of course I can understand people's reluctance to pass on details of Dennis personal contact information to a stranger but I can assure you that the information provided will only be used in conjunction with this promotion and will be for the benefit of Dennis and his UK fans.
As you can see from our track record we are in no way ‘time wasters’ and are determined to bring Dennis over to the UK and for him to perform his ‘Northern Soul’ material for the first time.
We are looking into a number of avenues in contacting Dennis and any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated by myself and all the staff at Togetherness.
Thankyou all for your time and help…<br>
