Not when she's singing about onions. I'm in tip top condition, in fact I just got out at 4 suit spider patience so I'm rather smug, just having a go at a pet hate; like you do.

It was the catchy lightweight pop of the record i was comparing, not the singers. i can see I'll have to make it a bit easier for you next time.

Bloody awful record as bad as soul gets. In fact it's not soul it's catchy lightweight pop like Abba, Buddy Holly or the bee gees. I'd include Blondie only they couldn't even write!

I'm not very good with technology! It's probably the one in Dave Godin's deep Soul treasures, it was his photo.

I've got a lovely Adio Arts pic with 2 boys and 2 girls.

Yeah Old Time Lover rings a bell; I'll assume it's that. thanks. Incidentally who's spinning it and where?

Now I'm very confused. It's an early Dial not Pneumonia and someone told me it was fetching a ton so it must be getting a lot of plays but not down here! Perhaps it's one of those benji, Gareth or Seb mentioned but I'd like to narrow it down if poss. Ta for the help Ady

Of the last one to go allegedly over a ton since I Wanna Be Free?

Who'd want one, they're a bunch of bullies who don't know what a fair scrap is. Both times I've had trouble with them it's been lots on to one.

Bradford squire; hence my witty riposte.

Well Matt was Northern so he was halfway there. Spandau's wrote 'Gold' after me playing that Jack Jones record to them.

As it's Tobi we might sell out but probably not until just before the event; you're fine at the moment and for your payday. Details are on www.6ts.info Cheers Ady

Soon to be a national hit once it's featured in that Northern Soul film you're all so excited about.

Expect an Email Mr Flynn!

I worked for Mick Parker at the Camden Palace in the 80s and I thought he said the Brit was his place but I could be wrong. He's still about though retired. Anyone got any reminiscences of the Nite Owl, I went to the Il Rondo and saw Howlin' Wolf but never made the Nite Owl.

Does Tony mention it in the sleevenotes of Al's Kent CD?

Vicky is a nice girl who came along to the last Cleethorpes. She is serious about this and originally wanted to learn people's individual dances that they struggle to do as effectively nowadays due to the ravages of time. I'm not sure if this is the same project but she is treating it seriously and giving it respect. it would be interesting if she could learn how to dance say like Angie in her teenage years, I'm assuming your dance style is slightly toned down now Angie? I put Vicky in touch with Sue Price from Abingdon who was a fine mover and spinner, I'm not sure how that went.

Great info chaps on a label that we own but is a nightmare in getting the right tapes. Do you Brett or MShoals have any of the non-soul stuff there's a lot of 50s and early 60s we need originals of to compare to the tapes. Is anyone a Dore completist? Ady

I thought it was poor when i read it, if it's the one that reckoned he used to hide his gear in a pork pie (not the hat either). He also inferred certain types of pork pie were cooler than others.

I hope he's not in my bed. Clapton being serious now, I'm defo off

That Maggie Bell should have done Frankie & Johnny I'll Hold You or is that a myth?

It's tailed right off now I'm gonna get some nighter sleep in for tomorrow. To be fair to all of these TV rarely catches a quarter of how good a group or act is. They're usually too late. Whoops Freddy King the dogs bollox

In theory yes, in practice it's a badly played and sung dirge. There were as many bad black acts as white. Admittedly he was 50 years past his best.

My fave Brit blues acts were Savoy Brown, Ten Years After, Chicken Shack, Cream and I liked some prog ones like Colloseum, King Crimson, Fairport Convention, Tull and of course lots of American ones especially the ultimate: LOVE!

LJB's playing a stinker of a Stormy Monday, perhaps I'll re-listen to T Bone
