Steve L Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 Hey grant, I remember you and the trousers very well from that time. I was with Mart and the Mansfield crowd. Prince & Princess was one of my fave records at at that time, sadly forgotten by a lot of people I think. Also I think the dancing at that time was distinctive compared to other eras and seem to remember you dancing that way? I think you can tell sometimes, people who went at that time by the way they dance. You got any photos?
grant Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 sadly not steve none of the crowd i knocked around with bothered with cameras in those days, they were too big to carry around back then still love the tune now though and do slip it into sets every now and again
Cheltsoulnights Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 Massive tune at Yate if memory serves me right
grant Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 Massive tune at Yate if memory serves me right Searling spun it at wigan, was it a first spin at wigan or played elsewhere before? cant remember it ever being c/up at the time like everything else was back then.
Guest MrC Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 alan rhodes always played it at wigan - i bought it off him, and he used to borrow it back every week
grant Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 alan rhodes always played it at wigan - i bought it off him, and he used to borrow it back every week yeah do remember Alan playing it too, along with other stuff RS was playing at around the same time, such as Betty Boo (think AR always played instrumental), Paula Durante, etc. Used to always look forward to his spot as he pulled out a few nice bits of different stuff - Legends, Ronnie Davie, etc

Memory fading but i think they was from the manchester area,also seen these guys at Manchester ritz 1979 approx.any info appreciated....... Regards Mart I remember two guys at Wigan, mid to late 70s, who wore cap sleeve T-shirts, one had WE GO on the front and DENEEN on the back, and the other had TOGETHER on the front and AUGUST on the back, just wondering who they were?, anyone else remember that?
Vanda Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 What?! You're pretty good at remembering what people used to look like! It would be pretty impossible to know everybody in the Casino by name, I used to recognise them by the way they danced.
KevH Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 It would be pretty impossible to know everybody in the Casino by name, I used to recognise them by the way they danced. I dont know,,i know someone who kept diaries on records,prices,bus fares and tickets,train times,what the dj wore,who slagged off who......so he could have everybody's name in there somewhere. He was hoping to turn his diaries into a film,but because they were fact,he thought the film would be too boring.
