    Next time you're out and about estimate what percentage of the crowd are young (young being under 40) As time goes on there will possibly be some remnants of a scene left but in 20 years the original generation will be in their 80s (those that are still alive) - anyone who thinks the scene will be anything like its is today is quite frankly living where the cloud cuckoos do.....

    Remember it well - Hollingwood hotel, sometime in the early 90s i think. One of my faves that doesn't get a mention very often is Al Williams - Try Them ......... Detroit brilliance

    I suppose we've all got different tastes but I couldn't get past the first 30 minutes, looked very poor to me....

    Maybe googling "sense of humour" might be useful......

    I don't think people in general realise that as you get to our age your memories aren't necessarily what you think they are. They can become distorted and change over the years and although you think you can remember something accurately, you could easily be wrong. Just thought I'd throw that in,,,,,,,

    An old mate of Steve's Julian Bojko from Farnsfied has asked me to post this for him: "Shocked and saddened by this awful news, Steve was a great guy who was around the northern scene from the mid 70s. He used to travel with us to Wigan on the Notts bus from the Britt, as well as Palais all dayers and all the other venues of that era. In more recent years I've seen him and his wife Liz at local venues such as the Grosvenor & Kingsway and he always had time for a chat and to reminisce - usually with a big smile on his face. I remember his favourite DJ was always John Vincent. .......RIP old mate" Boyco

    "The Swan Sherwood Rooms with Banner & Phil" I remember the flyers well mate but was sadly too young to go when the Mansfield scene was at its height, although me & my mates used to stand outside at times when we were about 14 listening to the music and dreaming of being one of the Swan boys when we got a bit older. Know/knew most of the names you mention, particularly Dave Humphries, Trev & JB - I reckon Ivor has turned into a professional funeral attender but that the name of the game as everyone gets older. Skegsoul isn't Dave Raistrick BTW Dave is on under his own name

    Well the original point was could you compile a top 100 chart of crossover tunes, an interesting topic and that has been discussed to an extent. What a crossover record actually is has been gone over many times and people have their own interpretations of it so I can't see the point really. Maybe I just got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning........... Mr grumpy

    This has turned into another pointless discussion over what a simple term means instead of what the original poster intended........
  22. Steve L
    Well there aren't many crossover records from 1964 are there?
  23. Steve L
    Agree completely, jesus - people have to make hard work of things sometimes...

    It was Butch mate

    One of the iconic records of recent times...... great memories of the best venues on the scene over the last 10 years or so for me
