Rick Scott Posted June 4, 2017 Posted June 4, 2017 1 hour ago, hullsoul said: Rick As The Mecca & Cleggy are often mention in the same breath,was there tunes first played at Cleggy that became biggies at The Mecca or was it all one way from Blackpool to Cleethorpes? Cheers Martyn I think it was just a case of the DJs taste at that time, Colin and Ian were playing much the same New and Obscure New releases as we were at Cleethorpes And mixing it up with the the currant big 60s sounds, We all seemed to be on the same wave length music wise and i suspect that is why Cleethorpes And The Mecca musically was held in such high regard,(we played off each other) A lot of other venues frowned upon this and stayed staunchly 60s (but most relented in the end) due to pressure from people asking for certain record being played elsewhere. Great soul Music is Great Soul Music which ever way you look at it. Cheers Rick 2

It was filmed during a dance competition at what i believe was one of the anniversaries. For those wanting to spot who was who on the stage area I was the long haired Chappy at 48/50 secs. Mary Chapman Fore front with Husband Colin just behind her At 51/52 secs. Dick Jervis at the Decks with Rick Todd just behind him at 53/54 secs Edited June 4, 2017 by RICK SCOTT word missed out 1

Bruv the first track after Christine Cooper is Donald Lee Richardson--You Got Me In The Palm Of My Hand. If you mean the very brief snip before that well its too muffled for me to make out it could be an instrumental.

Rick Scott Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 1 hour ago, Chris Turnbull said: Top tune Rick - always imagined it was Stafford era rather than earlier - bet it sounded great at Clegg It did, have to say the sound system was brill, the banks of speakers either side of the stage were taller than me. Big base bins with huge speakers on top of them and rows of the larges Horns i'd ever seen at that time. I think Mary hired them from Road Runner Discos who were Grimsby/Cleethorpes based and hired out equipment, mind you,you needed some wattage to fill the Pier, Was a massive, place, The Blackpool Mecca sound system was very good too, Speakers were built into the ceiling over the dance area if i remember rightly. 3
Rick Scott Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 In answer to Shuffling' a tune probably all but forgotten, the harder copy before Arista from Mike and Bill........
