Great to hear, he doesnt come on this site does he? I'd love to hear from him and Debbie

If you see him can you tell them Steve & Anita from Wigan have been asking about them and wish them both well

Cheers

Steve

It's called "Would you believe!" Mark.

Its on Smash.

Nine white guys and one black guy make up the Tempests (based on the picture on the front of the album)

No prizes for guessing who is the lead vocalist.

I remember going up in the coach to 'Crown hotel' in Scotland when Keb & Guy were on. They had just put it on a tape on the coach from derby, by the time we got there everyone new it. They played it twice that night and the place was jumping, great night :D

I know I always got it wrong but never had to write it down, cant tell you how long it took me to remember Cong's last name. Always remember going round his house to pick him up full of apprehension as you never knew what mood you would catch his mum in!!!!!!

Wasnt it covered as Rufus Lumley?

Dawn Brown played this for me on my 40th birthday. What a cracking tune.

Someday was covered up as Bobby Paris , I dont want to lose her was Lou Pride .Both by Guy and he had Emi's made of both when he was playing them.

Thanks for the comments , ive never realy thought about what my favourite sound was as my taste changes often but listning to this last night made up my mind :shades:

A few more from Stafford (my top venue of all time - so far!)

Dave Thorley

Larry Davis - I've Been Hurt So Many Times

The Q - That's The Way (covered as The Case of Tyme)

Soul Bros Inc - Pyramid (covered as Mel Britt)

Keb

Ron Baxter - This Is It (can't remember the C/U name)

The Soul Set - Will You Ever Learn

Black Wings Have My Angel - Hayes Cotton (covered as 'Thrice')

Guy ('wait for the beat')

Detroit Rhythm Section - Backstreets

Susan Rewis - They Say (covered as 'All The Hurt & You')

Jackie Day - Naughty Boy

Of course there were literally 100's of others and not just played by these guys; Pat Brady, Keith Minshull, Ady Pountain, Richard Searling were also regulars at one time or another and remember the guests like Roger Banks, George Sharp, Colin Law, Keith Whitson.

Let's remember the legacy of this brilliant venue and the fact that it paved the way for the forward thinking soulies and collectors who are still around looking for the underplayed, the obscure and that great addition to the Northern Soul tradition - the beat ballad! Consider the following, which may not all strictly have been played first at Stafford or indeed at Stafford but were played as a direct result of punters hearing ballads there:

Bill Lucas - Cause Youre Mine

The Shufflers - Always Be Mine

Kenny Sheppard - What Difference Does It Make

Sam Fletcher - Think It Over

George Freeman - Down & Out

Brooks O'Dell - You Better Make Up Your Mind

Kell Osborne - Quicksand

Faye Crawford - What Have I Done Wrong

The Trends - Not Too Old To Cry

Doug Banks - Aint That Just Like A Woman

Top Of The World Ma - and boy was I................................
