Yes it was on the corner I think? Derrick ran the record centre next door but one to linns flower box owned by Neil St John (noddy) from Rotherham I think As Kids in 75/6 we used to "work" in the record shop (it was better than school!) Fridays Saturday's and Sunday's were very interesting with all these strange guys with long leather coats sunglasses (even in the dark) chewing like mad, dancing, talking about sammys Cleethorps Wigan ect No wonder I ended up a naughty soul boy !!

Not only did they sell clothes but also if I remember correctly it was a jewlers/ pawn shop ????? Used to go to Sheffield as a young kid circa 1971/2 now the memory is playing up! What was the clothes shop across from the castle market called? I thought that sexy rexy was on the moor?? Was there a shop called tramps????! Help Spike

Thanx to all the moderators and administrators must be a he'll of a job sorting out all us squabbling kidz!! Great forum we don't always agree on things (or is that we never agree) But remember if you cant argue you usually end up falling out with each other Keep on keeping on Spike

Twisted wheel last night (26th august) four younger people came ip from london 3 girls 1 guy They looked really smart and alll of them were good dancers they were made to feel welcome by us crinklies think and hope that they had a really good time said that they hope to come to the next Sunday session would love some feedback from them on here So like I said in an earlier reply ignore the stupid bigots who basically think that you have to have been into the soul scene for 45 years keep going to soul nights cos without you younger guys the scene will wither and die! Spike (52 year old and feeling it this morning )

Get lots of younger people at the wheel theyre always made to feel welcome by us oldies! The last Friday do in July an 18year d couple were at their first ever soul night they could not beleive all those 50 + bopping the night away After a couple of beers they were up on the floor until the place closed They loved it even though the wheel plays just oldies I suppose that all the tunes were new to these guys Go to different venues if you love the music there's only a small minority that arnt welcoming!! Ktf Spike

Lots o wheel tunes on these lists!!!!
