Trying to identify two records played by Pat Brady in 1985.  Both are in the top 20 attached.

Willie Parker & Joseph Moore are the two I am trying to identify. Oh and Johnny Howard.  The rest I know but won't spoil your fun uncovering them.

Is 12 Little John on Martay?  Or too early? 

Can't think of the others mid 80s a tad before my time.

Bradford was my start too. Pat was very good to quote DavenPete. I used to help lug his cases in and help out as a 16/17 year old. Do remember one time he played The Groovers version of Ain't Too Proud To Beg covered as Steve Mancha and one of the guys fishing out a copy and shouting out 'Latest Pat Brady C/U for a tenner!' Raised a few chuckles.

Also Cody Black Slowly Moulding at Bradford - he was fucking good back then.

Yep, Pat was a great DJ back in the 80's. He mixed it up with some good new 60's, 70's and perhaps even the odd 80's track. Always had some good sales too. Does he play out ever these days?

Sounds right thinking about it. Actually I may be thinking of a version of 'Open the door to your heart' covered as Steve mancha by pat around that time.

Yes, but as I recall he never got the hero worship others seemed to garner........that's kinda what I meant........probably down to a more unassuming nature on his part.....

Always remember him playing the Chandlers Your Love..... at the Zodiac club in Bradford first time I'd heard it, blew me away then and still does. He played another one he gave the name/really was an artist I'd more associate with rock or sounded like such a name. Can't recall it now but that sticks out from that time. Hell I have enough trouble remember the right tracks and artists got no chance with c/u.

 

Sorry for rambling but just thought it might strike a chord :)

Couldn't swear to it but fairly certain that was played at the Central's original Friday nights early '70's uncovered. Their early nighters too.

His turnover might not have been that of say Keb or Guy but he did have some great records.
