just read this ha ha ha h. I remember this nighter so well. Got a Ric-Tic revue hat & everythin', Used to wear i to go phishin for years ha ha ha. Anyone remember a few months earlier when "The Supremes (no origional artists) Were meant to be playing & Marv Johnson ? did a gig instead. Mad Mick from Burton, Me, Steeve Potts From Notts & shit loads of others invaded the stage (the bliss 'O' youth.) Well Pottsy (being Pottsy) did a mad drop & missing the stage by a wide margin fell into all the P.A. wiring behind, Killing the gig stone dead for a fiew minutes & Helping me (a young & impressionable lad) learn some new & exciting words from the roadies who were trying frantacly to plug everything back in again. Nice hat though...

Think he means MAROON & GREYS (DUROMINE) Ken, absolute waste of time on their own too.

Remember dropping a load at Wigan in 1973 and just about being kept awake, after that they needed mixing

to set em off.

S'funny one this - I wasn't at the Ric Tic Revue as I couldn't get back to the UK from Germany where I was stationed at the time but I was certainly at some other 'live act' all nighters at Hinckley but apart from the Curtis Mayfield one I can't remember the others which is pretty sad.

I must've been at the Edwin Starr one 'cos I have his autograph as well as one of the girls' from the Marvelettes who were on the same bill and I have Kim Westons from the gig she did there but again I don't remember them.

Here's some photo's - Del, might have met you and Vicki there and as regards Shippo from Notts didn't know he'd passed on - a shame 'cos he was a nice guy.

Absoulutely fantastic night I was 18 at the time...went along with the Shrewsbury crowd...my mate Carl Heaps, Nobby Holland, Chris (Bearsoul) Morgan who all got a lift with Alex McBride if my memory serves me correctly (which it probably doesn't after all these years!)

Was Sal (Gary Crook) there Chris?

I remember buying an iron on Rictic Revue badge which I put on the back of my fav white grandad shirt...thought I was the bees knees wearing that! laugh.gif

Also got the live Lou Ragland - I Travel Alone record of the night somewhere...will dig it out and post up if not done already?

Been busy on adobe photoshop cleaning up some of the pics posted here...bit clearer now so hopefully can spot myself in the crowd!

The crowd pic is great....like trawling through a where's Wally book! This Wally had a Kevin Keagan curly perm and moustache at the time!

Honestly it was the fasion then!!

ok i've been thinking. I was approached at kingsway hall, new yrs eve about this event. The guy in question said that the backing singers were wearing different clothing to the photograph (crowd one). he also spotted me in the photo. In hindsight, he's 100% correct. I think some of the above shots are from the 'Edwin Starr' solo concert from a little while earlier. The blue t shirt he has on is in my drawer upstairs. . actually, the last 4 photo's posted are 2 different events if you look a little closer

top left is Ric Tic revue, the other three are from the Edwin solo gig

blimey, as you were good.gif

You are absolutely right & that's perhaps why I was confused - the photo with Edwin in the brown leather suit I recognise but not the others..... The attached photo was also taken at Hinckley possibly at one of those live gigs I mentione earlier (P.S. the Curtis Mayfield one was top as stated)...

Explains why I couldn't spot myself! Never made the Solo Edwin Starr Event...there was a reason which again I've forgotten!

Do remember that T shirt though...I wanted one but didn't qualify as I wasn't there angry.gif

Going back to Hinckley, this is probably one of the most moving things I remember on the soul scene.

Pretty sure it was a Hinckley Leisure centre (first?) anniversay nighter in about Jan/Feb '84. There must have been about 2000 soulies there and news had just got out about Jackie Wilson dying which I think Chris King told us over the mic, 2 minutes silence were held and you could have heard a pin drop. Still stays with me to this day that respect.

He still happens to be my fav artist of all time his picture hanging over my fireplace.

Respect to the soul scene for that moment!
