Trying to piece together Gary Rusbrooke's spins from Stafford & Leicester Allnighters. I know some will be from the late Wigan era too as he was a resident by the end of the Casino.

I Have about 50 thus far and a few I think he played but need conformation on.

Any help gladly received.

Here are some I thought he played but need to make sure:

Thee Midniters - 'You're Gonna Make Me Cry' (Whittier) C/U as Jimmy Burns

N Group - 'Keep On Running' (Wes Mar)

Sunny & Sunliners - 'If I Could See You Now' RPR

Gary Sole - 'Soul Light Touch' (Knight) Flip to 'Holdin' On' his old Agents C/U from late Wigan

Bobby Sansom & Light Years - 'King Of Tears' (Acta) Flip to 'The Happiest Day Of My Life' that was C/U as Paramounts

Audrey Slo - 'Gonna Find The Right Boy' (Swan) Sure he played this when he was co-running The Brit in Nottingham so may have dropped it by the time Stafford & Leicester started in 82

Any cover up names would help too.

Many thanks

...I also associate the following with him, but couldn't be sure if he played them first, but that's where I heard them first

Bobbie Smith

Twilights

Cassadons

Ree Flores

Frank Beverly - Want To Feel I'm Wanted

Fugitives - Good Lovin'

Naturals

Unless of course, you know different

I remember Guy Hennigan carrying Ree Flores around the back bar at Wigan, pretty much before it had been played anywhere. Maybe 77/78? In fact we gave each other a bunch of 45s to take home and listen too and that was definitely one that he was bigging up. I thought it was ok but never really got it until a few weeks later when I heard him play it at an All dayer - probably Todmorden. I recall being one of about four people dancing. One of the records I let him have listen to was "I'm Gonna Hurt You" by Lost Soul on Raven. Don't think he was too keen and I eventually sold it to Tim Ashebende. Just proof that Guy had better taste/vision than me back in the day I reckon

Sorry - went a bit off topic. so, when/where exactly did Gary rushbrook play Ree Flores then?

Ed Crooke - That's Alright

Porgy & Monarchs - That Girl

Twilights - Your The One

Tommy Dodson - One Day Love

Malibus - Gee Baby

Fantastics - Me And You

Aspirations - You Left Me

Wayne this was most definitely Guy Hennigan's Albanians C/U for the Preston Cybermen a.k.a. Gaz Kellet

Mark

Apologies Wayne, Getting my records mixed up. That was The Masquraders - That's The Same Thing. So I guess Gary must have played The Fascinators as The Magnetics.

Thought it odd you had it wrong, and all the time it was me.

Strange? i got mine off Tim at the same time! incidently i bought Ree Flores,Lonnie Russ, Lee Bates, Sandy Wynns(Venus) on Doc and a few others off Gary..............Julie went ape! 2fuk++ selling his best records!!

It was a real shame when he stopped dj­ng as the scene lost two characters at one blow!!

Steve

and he played Mr Pitiful for a while.

Street scene-The Elgins

Aint that enough to make a good man cry-forgotten who by but think it was on a blue label!

Hi Steve, Is this the Steve Smith who I knew from Kettering etc?

I thought it was a shame too when he sold up. By the time I had a look at what was being sold all I got was a Pointer Sisters demo. Are you referring to Mr. Pitiful on Josie? AKA Jerry Williams.

Talking of people being missed, if you are thee SS then the day you stopped djing was a sad one too.

You always supported my Loughborough do's.
