Found this on Facebook 

To say that retired Chemistry teacher Mr Nick Cowan has had an explosive impact on Blue Coat during his time at the School is a literal as well as metaphorical truth, with his love of demonstrations which always went off with a bang!

In our upcoming 2020 Old Blues' magazine Nick reveals why his students nicknamed him Basil Fawlty, how he secured a five year guest spot on BBC Radio Merseyside's 'Keep on Truckin' show, and he shares his favourite experiment.

I do 30 minutes of yoga every morning when not at work, 4 or 5 times in an eight day stint.

Just back from a class, I love it. Not for everybody, but you find more and more footballers do Pilates and Yoga to prolong careers.  

I've been going to Yoga/Pilates classes for the last three years, for me a great stress buster and body conditioner. As my Arthritic Knee isn't getting any better. I find using the gym incorporating yoga stretches for the warm up, light weights, exercise bike and leg press and leg folds has really helped strengthen my joints, to where it is manageable now(pending possible surgery. I mix it up with 5-6k walks a couple of times a week.

I find it really helps with Physical and Mental wellbeing

I get confused with xover and modern,would salt & pepper come under xover? The others modern? 

The sub genres can muddy the picture, as stated at the end of my post, all depends on your viewpoint?

Some records played at the back end of the casino, into the early days of the term Modern Soul at Niters, like Morecambe Pier, Clifton Hall etc

Early days lots of slower and mid tempo stuff from the likes of Major Lance, Otis Leavill and of course the Impressions wasn't all stompers some propper melodic soul got played out. 

Mid 70s these new sounds were recent releases with a funkier disco type vibe caused quite a stir at the time and divided opinion. 

Used to go to Sale Mecca the Blue Rooms Ian Levine and Colin Curtis used to play a lot of this stuff on a Thursday night I am convinced that they played these sounds to guage reaction prior to Saturdays at the Highland room 

I went regularly to Sale Mecca and I always got that impression. I vaguely remember the Anderson Brothers getting a luke warm reception first time round, then road block the following week!!

Yes, along with the Carstairs, Gil Scott Heron "the bottle" which has been an anthem on many scenes!!
