Mark R Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) Thanks a bunch yeah,that was him. An absolute top,top,NS-collector guy.No pretentiousness with him.He was friendly,modest,and played every request I asked for.He had the best collection of TOP RARE NS I ever seen in my humble life.And it was a real pleasure to meet him and look in awe through his boxes.He was an avid British collector though,and sadly kept going on about his latest (Brit) aquisitions,I can't recall now what they were,he had a box load -but I recall his northern all right...as JM would say : "JAW-DROPPING" and awsome beyond belief.He had everything.Whatever happened to him? How often was he on at the Odds? I only saw him that one time there.But I have never forgotten,and I never will. Hope nobody minds this here...........not Oddfellows, but I can't resist making someone's day 'cos I know exactly how good it feels myself when someone shares these things..........the following uploaded a few months ago from one of my old tapes.......... https://www.mixcloud.com/soulboymark/hinckley-leisure-centre-all-niter-live-december-1983/ Clive Jones, from 38:42 after Brian Rae to 1:08:16 where Dave Evison takes over. Enjoy!! Cheers, Mark R Edited January 21, 2014 by Mark R

Guest Byrney Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Theres some names from the past. Was at the anniversary with Tommo (Notts) Curley, Lynn from Eastwood, Tommy Cragg, along with a baby faced Kitch, Shippo(RIP), Alf, Jenny .... a good 20 odd mob of Notts lot out that night. I look at myself in the video and I look like a 10 year old with facial hair!! Also travelled a few times with Tommo to Clifton Hall - one good lad. I haven't seem Curley for years, again what a lad. I can remember the kick off before the nighter, an unprovoked attack on the queue as I saw it, it wasn't just skinheads but a mix, some rockabilly types in there if I remember. One lad in a leather trench coat with a tash (I won't go there) was particularly active in dispatching the attackers. Joan - Saw Haley at both mine and Kitch's 40th Birthdays and at Teffs wedding -top girl on top form. Woody pops over and sees her from time to time she and the young uns doing fine Just spotted this on said altercation. think we need Phill Worrell out for this
Guest soulovereasy Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 just spent the last hour or so browsing over the messages on here, as its been said already but would like to add my own view, ODD fellows was a fantastic venue,excellant attendance gr8 djs and wonderful crowd,my first trip there was with joanne French and paul whiteman,id not been to an all nighter for about 4/5 yrs,i remember queing up outside and the music blasting out!!! from my first night I fell in love with the place,not too far from Nottingham so nottm soulies always well represented there,am currently out in spain til may as im organising a week of northern soul called IVE GOT SOMETHING GOOD its on the up and coming weekenders page if any of you are interested? anyway really looking forward to seeing ginger dave n dave cain,hopefully mick howard might pop down?i will remember my little pal Kenny RIP, and me mates from Nottingham,long eaton and surrounding areas atb tommo.
