I was sat in history at school on a monday morning as a 14 yr old  the weekend this came out , my girlfriend at the time pulled the supplement out of her bag and gave it to me , stating " My dad said give this to you , you like motown " !!

 

I had been entertained over the last couple of months by my mates older brothers , who were all regulars on the scene and had attended the Casino , mecca , morecambe and notts oddfellows from our little humdrum town of Falkirk in Scotland 

 

To see a piece of literature written about   an underground scene I was getting deeper into at that time was fantastic and I devoured every bit of it as I sought refuge from the boring and mundane routine of life at that time  .   

 

I framed that article and displayed it for over twenty five years , until a removal company  wrecked it and the frame , 

 

Happy days indeed and many thanks for reminding a guy tonight about a great piece of  history on the scene at the time and a very acrobatic ex girlfriend , just don't tell the wife !!!!

The bottom blue-ish tinged pic is Brett from Hinckley, taken at Leicester Oddfellows I believe, though I thought that was from Smash Hits, not Record Mirror.

 

Brett is a regular at our Soul Purpose events...........which 30 years down the line is nice! :-)
