No, she shoulda stuck to the factory canteen......

a GIant has left us. saddened as always, when we lose a friend, but QJ left a legacy that is hard to top . RIP Mr Jones

i missed those. only remember the main ballroom. bodies and bags everywhere

peterborough (various) , Stafford, Clifton hall, Alfreton, Hinckley, Loughboro, Oddfellows..... the early 80's were a whirlwind of venues. ive forgotten more than i remember. some great nights. especially places like oddfellows, that had one room , playing everything, from wheel oldies, to present day releases . superb memories!

Blimey. we had a punch up in Nottm palais, still got a lump on back of my hand, where a shoe hit me. we had to leg it, whilst the bouncers held the instigators at the door (they were clearly out for aggro) i also saw another fight, at St Ives, one of the pugilists is on here, he shall remain nameless

if its any consolation... i played (at a very well known oldies event) Such misery - the precisions. yup, tumbleweed ! happens to everyone, at some point. any 'DJ' with an ounce of sense, should be able to judge a dancefloor, so out came: 'if this is love' that sorted it

John E Paul : flip it, for aural delight.

very Sad... i went (alone) to watch MAZE, Rock City , Nottm (none of my mates had heard of him/them). was blown away by the musicianship, the songs, the voice, the soul. had to go again, 'back in stride' tour at Hammersmith... that time, 4 of us went, all 4 of us, lifelong Frankie Beverly fans. impossible songs to cover, even play along to, such is the musical genius of the man. a true giant of our time. RIP friend

after the laughter, brilliant !

Saw the guy live, 82/83 (long time ago). He was electric!! Fabulous gig, stand out for me , was 'there was a time' but my guilty pleasure, is Get down. Lots and lots of fabulous records, difficult to choose one.

omnium, absolutely no idea what goes on? Been watching the cycling a lot, but that beats me.

Loved it up to now.. just watched GB get another gold in the boulder climbing. The Olympic games, are something I'll never tire of.
