Thank you very much, only just seen your post, appreciated.

looking to buy a clean copy ( demo if poss) of the o jays Working on your case/ hold on on Minit 32015 please pm me if you have one for sale at a reasonable price. Thank you.

great tracks Ian, got the new CD but not been a good enough boy to open it yet!!

After seeing this thread I opened mine to find 1 missing & 1 duplicated but all play fine, agree the four tops looks a bit strange on the vinyl but plays fine.

 

Real shame they are having problems as this is a great set of singles.

In my humble opinion it was pretty fair, but the attraction for me of the soul scene ( northern has nothing to with it, as its just a label) was that it was not mainstream, we had our own sub culture and rules that only those that loved it knew about. As Pete said we all had to do our apprenticeship and learn about the music, which without computers and mobiles took a lot of dedication & leg work. Although as others have said we should welcome the youngsters into the scene, if only so there's some one alive to sell your record collection to!

 

With so much publicity everyone jumps on the bandwagon and wants a part of the action it just takes away its exclusivity, what next, come northern soul dancing on bbc1 with Anne Widicombe in a circle skirt!! 

 

Having said that, Paul mason was pretty good and genuine, a 3 from me, but no more publicity, keep it quiet I say!!

 

Cheers

Hi Steve,

 

Good old lads you mentioned there! yes it is strange how a town that was so small back then had such a big following, however not that many travelled as much as we did.

 

Possibly because we wanted to get of the place more than anyone else, as Simsy said, it could give you "the fear" even back then so there was'nt much else to be scared of further up the motorway!!

 

It also got you away from god awful discos with pre booked punch up, and chucked out at 10.30 no buses, not many taxis( that you could afford)  and the chip shops all closed, Ah the 70's no mobiles or computers you had to make arrangements and stick to them to get anywhere. (Yoof of today etc etc blah blah,back in my day.)

 

The Bedford soul scene is still alive and well mainly thanks to Hammie & Geoff & Ady etc and of course us punters that still love the sounds.  Be interested to hear of any other provincial towns with a large fan base as far away from the, what was then, center of things.

 

 

A very big thank you to all who attended the Memorial Charity Night For Chantel Bateman At Bedford Athletic Rugby Club on Saturday 27^th April.

 

The final amount raised was :- £ 1,480.00 with the only expense deducted £ 50.00 for the special extended late licence leaving a total donated to Sue Ryder of £ 1,430.00 (Please see attached certificate from Sue Ryder)

 

Thanks go to all who donated prizes for the raffle including Roz Mc Guiness, Nicola, Sian, Ady Potts, Dave Hayden, Paul & Trish Murphy, John Manship, Ady Croasdell, Richard Searling, Ian Dewhirst, and many others who I forgot to write down on the night, sorry to those I missed !! but thank you all the same.

 

We received many donations from people who couldn’t make it & those who did including, Sara, Jennie, Andy Anderson, Nicola & Gilly, Dave Greet, Winslow Ford & staff, donations via Theresa, Andy & Jo, Chrissy Benson, Steve & Linda, Dave & Sandra & many others, so again sorry if I missed you out.

 

Thanks to Dave C for doing a great job on the flyers and to all the DJ’s who all gave their services free of charge, Hammy & Geoff for providing their decks etc. Nicola & Michelle who were on the door did a fantastic job.

 

Bedford Athletic Rugby Club also provided the venue & staff free of charge so thanks go to them.

 

It was a great night in memory of a great lady, thanks to you all for your generosity.

 

Cheers & well done to all who came & gave so much.

 

There were some unclaimed raffle prizes including first prize, so with the kind permission of Ady Potts these are being re raffled at Stewartby Soul Night on Saturday 18^th May, pair of tickets for :- Blackpool, Rugby Allnighter & Lifeline plus a brilliant little collection of 20 45’s in a vintage case with a Melvin Davis greatest hits CD. This should raise another good sum for Sue Ryder.

 

Thanks from us all,

 

Kev Bateman, Panch, Pete Hullat, Taff, Andy Rix, Geoff , Andy & Hammie.

Chantel was a spring baby, born on April 22nd 1958 in London, later moving to Watford and then Hitchin when she was in her teens. She grew up to be a bright and attractive young woman, with a warm lively personality and a way with people. This stood her in good stead in the various retail jobs she did throughout her life.

PM'ed you Duncan.

Sorted now thank you.

I think you're right about the Exciters at the all-dayer in the tram depot & iirc, also either or both of Johnnie Johnson & Bandwagon and Flaming Ember.

Thats comforting as they can all mix into one if your not carefull !! We were at the front and managed to shake hands with 1 or 2 of the band. As I said we printed our own tickets by copying a real one which was very difficult before scanners and computers.

Wanted a nice clean copy of Little Dooley Please fellow Soulsourcer's.

Please PM with cost and condition will pay pal or send cheque.

Cheers

Andy
