One of the gigs I pre-booked aeons ago, pre-pandemic, was to see Lamont Dozier perform solo at St. Georges in Bristol. Sadly, due to reported ill-health, he had to cancel, and the tickets were put into limbo, hopefully anticipating a re-schedule at some later date. But now he’s cancelled, permanently, and I won’t ever get to experience his particular genius in person. What a giant of popular music, alongside his Holland buddies, I’ve missed. Nowhere to run to hear him now. RIP old chap, you soundtracked a huge part of my life. Thank you.
