Thanks for supporting Snooks this last year or so Brian. It's still "work in progress" there, but that's a good thing right?!

Here's what I played to open and close the upstairs room. Lots of requests and never good to get abuse when you don't have a certain record that someone wants to dance to, but as one local summed up so well to Len on the night after thinking for a bit...He said: "Hmmmm.... Northern Soul. It's always been a problem"!

Opening 45 mins:-

Bobby Moore - Give me your love right now (Checker)

The Voice Masters - You've hurt me baby (Bamboo)

Shirley Karol - My Baby's gone away (Dakar)

Harold Hutton - Lucky Boy (Checker)

Karen Striblin - We're not too young, to fall in love (Jaber)

Spencer Wiggins - I'm at the breaking point (Kent)

Four Tees - One more chance (Kent)

Freddie Terrell - You had it made (Capitol)

The Tom-Emmanuel and Ron Experience - When you lose your groove (Golden Three)

Albert Jones - I do love you (Tri-City)

Rhonda Davis - Can you remember (Duke)

Talmadge Armstrong - Gigi (Spindletop)

Luv Co - Things are not the same (Spring)

Little Sherman & The Mod Swingers - The price of love (Sagport)

The Jaedes - Uh, Uh, what did I do (Athena)

TSU Toronadoes - What good am I? (Atlantic)

Closing 45 mins:-

Epitome of Sound - You don't love me (Sandbag)

Darrell Banks - I'm the one who loves you (Volt)

Exits - You got to have money (Gemini)

Purple Mundi - Stop hurting me baby (Cat)

The Innersection - Let me love yuh (Group 5)

Four Tops - Don't bring back memories (Motown)

Willie Kendrick - Change your ways (RCA)

The Volcanos - Help wanted (Arctic)

Sandra Phillips - I wish I had known (Okeh)

Lorraine Rudolph - Keep coming back for more (Jet Stream)

The Dynells - Call on me (Atco)

September Jones - I'm with you (Body & Soul)

Four Tops - Where did you go (Motown)

Bobby Hutton - Come see what's left of me (Philips)

Chuck Jackson - What's with this loneliness (Kent)

Willie Bollinger - I won't have to cry no more (Kent)

Enchanted Five - Darling I need you now (CVS)

Willie West - She's so wise (Timmion)

Curtis Mayfield - Move on up

I think only one of the above cleared the floor for a mo, but gritted my teeth behind a smile and played the record right through just as the Brothers of Soul intended it to be heard when they wrote it. Once again, the funny old world of Northern Soul!

Until the next time, Steve.
