Finally found my (Northern) Soul again, and have fond and precious memories of the scene, and many mates and friends over the years. Would anybody be interested in a Bedford soul reunion? With all the old sounds and banter we all use to love and share so much. All nighter on the 6th March at Stewartby working mens club. Would be really great to meet up with ''me old muckers'' hopefully could be the start of things to come. Mick Lewin Email me

Hi Mate, I hail from Irchester and used to get the Wigan coach with the Beds and Kettering Crew. The Guy in the Blue Rugby top looks like the Bedford guy who had relatives (nan?) who lived in Irchester (is that you)? Martin Cook, Tony W. top men. Bedford still has a lot of soulthumbsup.gif . Best Kimbo.

Re Sparky, i8n one of the piccies....is that, I think Trevor Sparks? who recommended Francic Nero 'Keep on Loving me' for Godins your favorite records column in Blues and Soul??.

1977 is a bit later than when I was coming over to Bedford but Dingle was main man around 67-69.

Heyup big Mick, Macky here, from Peterborough, perhaps you'll remember me. :-)

You and Martyn should get over to Facebook and look at Jane Stryzkalo's (formerly Osborne) pics from the Scarborough and Yarmouth 1980 scooter runs. Johnny Cockerill's on there too and has tons of photos. Some of them will make you smile, some might even make you shed a wet one. :-)

Best,

M

In the last 4 years I've only attended two events in my former hometown, one at the City Club in December 2006 and the other at the DKOF Christmas 2007. I saw lots of old faces at both: Nogsy, Dave Reed , Gary DeRoux, Spike, Debbie Pierce, The Donnelly brothers, Chris Cousins, Gill, Phil O'Hearn, Bully twins etc, etc. but living out here means I'm a bit removed from it to tell the truth. 'corby john' and 'stangroundsoul' on here organise well attended events at The Fleet, and there's the Right Track at the Post Office club, but I've not attended either. I do get the impression that it's a very splintered scene there though, with lots of wailing and gnashing of teeth over music policy, promotor mud slinging and the like, which is a shame of course.

Yep you are right Macca, also though the "real" scene is there just gotta find it still blocked, the chacacters, the good times and some excellent music which brings the same feeling the first time you here it. Only the other month was on my way home after a top nite and found meself at the front of a line of cars I wus going into a boot sale..... how the hell did that happen feccd if I no..... thats Soul!!
