Guest Sean Haydon Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 Ric Tic review at Hinkley, how those glass doors bent without bustin, i'll never know.
Alan Walls Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 (edited) The last night of Stafford had a fair old queue when we turned up. Dispersed in every direction in about 1.4 nonoseconds after Dave emerged to advise the heaving throng that "everyone will be searched, so make sure you don't bring in anything you shouldn't have"!

You must have taken a hell of a lot of records with you Jerry because sometimes there must have been about 8 of us "helping" you with them in the lift! God knows how much door money was lost cos of that lift.

Northern Soul Uk Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Heheh! I'll always remember being in the queue at the casino, packed and being pushed as usual, when this guy next to shouts 'I only came out for a bottle of milk' LOL, piss funny. I've used that one since
Jerry Hipkiss Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 ...and do you remember Denis From Gloucester...who liked a fight or three! Still about locally, saw him at Soulfusion last Saturday, he calls me at the radio studio every few days, and he'll be at the Gloucester niter tonight, still with many tales to tell
