Mark B

Remember him DJ'ing but from memory can't remember where could have been Wigan he played a lot of dodgy instrumentals that he recorded. Not the greatest of spots.

venue was absoulutely dire.

nver heard of it ? done a search https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/4089974?ev=rb price varies a bit but no sound files

another we all cut our teeth on before eddie spencer came along

one of my all time favourites

for cheap and pure northern that every collection should have a copy of

the other side think this was the side played first wasnt it, but i still prefer crazy things

Johnny Hampton 2 reasons one its just a rawer dance track and two probably because I heard johnnys version first years ago

when i first went to the mecca it was a nice pair of parralells 16" bottoms possiblt two tones, button down shirt either ben sherman or jaytex, jacket blazer with lancashire rose badge and red hankie in the breast pocket and tie that was in the jacket pocket by the time you hit the escalator good pair of leather soul loafers (tassels) never had any brogues early 1972/3 all the lads were really smartly dressed, and the girls were equally as smart. wigan or any other nighter would be Fred perry top with spare one in holdall, spare socks underwear, towel and possibly swimming trunks for the baths after wigan.

st alphonsus school disco Dj was one of my freinds big brother and his mate, 1968/9 onwards 6X6 was my favourite but all the usual stuff Carl played all stax, atlantic, motown, so all the usual stuff elgins marvelettes supremes four tops temptations some blue beat, an introduction to soul.

in an aside to this my best friend in the early 70's was supposed to have a fight with marcel king we all trooped into whalley range (we lived in old trafford about 10 minute walk) about 8 or 9 of us, fight never happened lol think we got chased by about 15 of marcels friends.

ernest mosley is the better of the two for the dancefloor but sheppards takes it on the group soul style. i had the sheppards never owned acopy of erernest mostley

it was more like the other clubs where the jazz funk guys were wearing different stuff as blackpool mecca you had to be fairly smart jacket and tie job to get in, but it was loud shirts peg trousers with pyjama cord belts floppy haircuts whistles were in use a lot. clubs like angels burnley, Ritz alldayers were a mix of the two northern and the jazz funk crowd

Matt check with Les at King be for rythym rascals pretty sure one of these went to him with my collection mark

no but he wiped out a few tables in his dancing career lol

hi dave, how are you not seen you for a long time. yes driving gloves always wore them lol. not seen him for a few years last time was at ross's funeral, still see tony and budgie.
