I remember being at the Torch talking to a guy who was there for the first time. he said to me " I thought they would have played more Motown stuff", meanwhile Tell Me It Is Just a Rumour was banging out of the speakers. kegsy

Probably better in sales mate. Kegsy

Seem to remember she also had stuff out as Rita Wright Cant Back The Love I Feel For You, there was also a Rita Wright on UK Jet and Toast ? I reckon she was from the USA as she was once married to Stevie Wonder. Maybe she was also over here for some time via a Rolling Stones connection as I think she once toured with them. kegsy

Come on mate, you had a night out and played some tunes. Nobody died or was maimed by what you did or didn't do. You can make 'em all dance some of the time, but you make 'em all dance all of the time, nobody can. As Ady said people like to dance to tunes they know, If they don't know a tune they may not dance but they may listen and still like the tune. Go play some records you really like or find uplifting, and remember why you started out on the scene in the first place. I'm sure you've got more to worry about than whether people danced to 2/3 records.like the state of Spurs back four. Kegsy

Must Have been one hell of a night Derek, six weeks to get over it and come round . Kegsy

Why am I hoping this is DEFINATELY NOT a you tube video.

Why am I clicking frantically on this hoping its a youtube video ?? Kegsy

Quite right, one said yachts is owned by a guy I know, his initial money came off the back of the rave scene, although he's cleaned up most of his "investments" these days.

Are you saying they could/should make a documentary and totally ignore the drug angle ?. The scene and gear went hand in glove in those days. Quick quiz for, why did all these nighters close down :? The Wheel Metro Wakefield L'Ambassador Bradford Up The Junction The Torch I could go on The scene was supplied by gear which was usually burgled from chemists so nighters came with visible associated criminal activity. Wigan did not suffer the same fate because in the mid 70's the authorities banned amphetamines so there were none in chemist shops. so there was no point burgling them. Therefore the visible crime element went away and the police were not to bothered anymore. The squad used to quite happy about the nighters, but they really got out of their prams if chemists were done on there patch. Quote "Kegsy I don't care how many chemists you do or how much gear you take, just don't do chemists on my patch", Derek Hand Halifax Drugs Squad circa 1973. Kinnel they will be making a film about the scene that does not say owt about the music next !!!!!!!! Kegsy

We had all gone to Cleethorpes to follow the proper northern scene mate

That's exactly my thoughts on the matter too. Tank tops, baggies etc. were imported onto the northern scene because they were the fashion of the masses at the time, and once the masses discovered Wigan they brought their mode of dress with them. You only have to look at Bay City Rollers or Noddy Holder videos to see it for yourself, don't try and tell me they copied the fashions of the northern scene. prior to the populist influx the fashion went from Mod through to Sudehead.

Dear B Only 5 turned up in court because you only had 50 now if you had had 1000 maybe we would have turned up with 50 in court. P.S. Next time we bust you please have the decency to have some Bombers or Red & Browns. Lots of Love D.C. Cream & D.C. Turner

You could even make a nice badge out of the canister tops.
