Think he was at Tiffanys in about 82/83. Snake Davies was the backing band.We had the pleasure of meeting him after he was finished. I do remember him telling us that he thought he had versions of him singing "Wanted in three states" on acetate somwhere in his house back in the states.

Dj,s on the night Chris King, Keith Minshill and Dave Evison spring to mind. But not 100% sure

About 5 years ago Some of us came down to Newcastle, Me and Keith Whitson were asked to play some Northern sounds at the Station hotel. As we were walking up to the hotel i happened to mention to Keith that i had never dj,d in Newcastle before. Only to be told that i had. At the Eddie Holman gig in Tiffanys. unsure.gif

About the same time as the Newcastle Tiffany's gig, I believe he also played at Staffords Top of the World - same(ish) DJ line up. But I think that it was just a little later than 83. Perhaps 84/85 or a marangue?

On the same thread, does anyone remember the following gigs also at TOTW:

Lorraine Chandler & Eddie Parker

Harold Melvin & the Bluenotes (didn't turn up - 3 mikes up on the stage looking all lonesome)

Gene Chandler (also played at Hinkley Leisure Centre during the same tour) - this was also fabulous particularly when he came as 'Duke of Earl' complete with top hat, cane and cape!

I taped him at TOTW. the tape has 'Stafford 85 Eddie Holman' writen on it.

Got that on a tape somewhere, but can't find it :unsure:

He also played The Wirrina Peterborough Mid 80's.

Yes I think I was at that one . Same line up as JR Walker and Major Lance with no show from major Lance .

Eddie done a couple of pop songs amongst the classics if I can recall but dropped them from his set at Hinckley when he appeared later on in the year . Or am I talking bollax seems so long ago now . :thumbup:

Can't remember meself now, think I was upstairs interviewing him and he'd just discovered "God" so he was more interested in telling me about that. Wasn't a bad show as I remember - think the pop you are referring to might be "Hey there Lonely Girl" :lol: Steve

Saw Junior Walker live @ St.Ives in 1977 and he was brilliant there as well!!

Edwin Starr was always worth seeing also wherever he appeared . . . another class artist surely missed by all. :D

Hi M8,That explains things,I kinda slowed down in mid 83 before totaly packing in ( :lol: loved up).So I wasn't there.

Was it a good night ? I never liked The Wirrina much myself.Remember the bomb scare night though-perhaps thats one for the other thread.

I dont remember which was first Darlington or Newcastle.

What I do remember is that on his 1st night he sang a lot of ballads as he wasnt aware of the songs he was supposed to be singing for the northern crowd.

I remember sitting with Steve Whittle while he was writing the lyrics to various songs out for him

Eddie was a top bloke though spent hours chatting to him at one Great Yarmouth Weekender, used to send him tapes but lost his address when I moved house

Posted

Mrs Shute and I (plus hundreds of others!) saw Eddie Holman at Morecambe Pier on a scooter rally about '84 I think .. he was great!! Remember lying in a corner somewhere having drunk a few cans of strongbow singing out to "Hey There Lonely Girl" with him!! Skinheads kicked off then and I don't recall what really happened after that :thumbsup:

Posted

are you sure about the newcastle date? were you there?

chris :thumbsup:

yes i,m sure of the date and yes i was there and at the dolphin center for him and popcorn and hinkley for gene chandler and supremes still got some of the tickets /flyers photos etc

and he did sing a few slowies i remember but night to remember made all of those drift into insignificance

cheers

Wrighty never actually ran the Dolphin Centre Allnighters, he did all the leg work, got everything in place but prior to the meeting with the coucil, police & fire dept, they wanted to talk with someone who had experience in running nighters, Wrighty then got in touch with Chris King, the rest is history, Carlo did a few spots also if memory serves, so did Baz Atkinson, shaun gibbons was on a few times & there were guest spots from some of the scottish dj's.

The next time you see Wrighty, let him know I was asking after him........ Cheers

spyk!

Harry next time you see Wrighty ask him if he ever got his 'Hesitations' LP back. Catch up with you sometime.
