And he's a bl00dy scouser. I reckon they saw the thread on here about Liverpoo having no soul, and decided to prove us wrong. Smeg heads!!

Jennifer Hennesey, actress, and frequenter of the occasional 100 club when work allows, was in Emmerdale, as Rodney's love interest when the fair rolled into town :lol:

Not, that I spend my whole evening watching soaps in darkest Wales :P

Think you'll find Mark that Mike Baldwin sold most of his Uk stuff to Manship a couple of years back :ohmy:

I also remember Brian Tilsey doing a "back flip" and half hearted "spin" in a disco in an episode in the mid 70's - it was Granada's "doffing of the cap" to NS in it's prime.

He was playing the CD "The Northern Scene" on Decca. Some strange tracks on it, but the tracks I heard on Corrie was Flirtations. Billy Sinshine by Billy Davis and "Raise Your Hand" Britherhood Of Man. He also said that the Flirtations track was "Classic Wigan Pier"??

BTW Craig Charles does a Funk Show on BBC Radio 6. On it he has a Talcum Powder spot where he plays a couple of Norther Tracks. You can pick up the play list at

Rodney Blackstock and Danny (?) had a conversation about Northern Soul in his antiques barn some years ago in Emmerdale. He held up a 70's Orange RCA UK disc (couldn't make it out) and announced thatbit was The Shalimars-Stop nad take a Look At yourself!!!

And Danny's(?) sister then went on to appear in Once Upon A Time In Wigan.

We're taking over the world.
