Here's me litle lot from saturday, many thanks for Steve who booked me and to Chic and Pete for honouring it.

Patti and the Emblems- Its the little things Kris Petterson- just as much Lollipops- Loving good feeling Charmers- Looking for trouble Jo- anne Garret- Whole new plan Bud Harper- Wherever you were John Bowi- you're gonna miss a good thing Chosen Few- birth of a playboy Kent Meade- Funky to me Al Robinson- Sho nuff bout to drive me wild Marva Lee- Cant be true Larry Williams- You're the one Tony Diamond- Dont turn away Esther Philips- Just say goodbye Billy Soultreee- Im your man Celeste Hardy- Your gone Paramount Four- Sorry aint the word Illa Vann- you made me this way Brothers Guiding light - getting together

Great set tony.

costs are massive for this venue, and its not the same as it was beforw twas done up.

Very touching sentimnets mate, well said!

And exactly what do you do to keep Wigan open then.?........which l'm sure was a lot more influential to The Northern Soul Scene than the 100 Club Controversial but the 100 has probably been more influencial in the last 20 years, for people of my age it set the standards in the 8ts.

Just cant believe it specially after saturday and a trumphant return by me after 20 years, looking round the walls at the photo's before we left @6 AM, all those scenes, the diversity and span of this place is emense, will sign up tonight, we cant let this happen!

Its cited as a very influencial early disco record in a number of books , I've read.

Not everbody loves this kind of stuff but glad the topics kept away from Northern V Funk or any other stuff.. Just a nice thread for those that dig any of this stuff....

Some are so desperate they've resorted to playing there own instumental woodwind versions of tunes at the back of soul nights! Flatulent re-edit of tune up anyone?

Seen the bv on the top of some continental wants lists, this, bleeding johnny foriegner again. LOL.

Here the second bit I did on friday, after Chris's excellent spot, a very hard act to follow! But no the less I played a mix of tunes skewed slightly more towards oldies with a hint of club classics and Motown, thrown in as you might expect for the last part of the night. Not sure bout the order but think I've listed about everything. Anne Sexton- You been gone too long Celest Hardy- Your gone Carla Thomas- Never stop loving you Tammi Terrel- Come up and see me Bobby Taylor- I've been blessed Chimes- Beggining of my life Commands- Hey its love Marvin Smith- Who'll do your running now Charlie Rich- Love is after me Lee David- Temptation is calling my name H.B. Barnum- Heartbreaker Chuck Jackson- Hand it over Solumon Burke- Cry to me Billy Soultree- I'm your man Dionne Warwick- Lonley Little Anthony- Use your head Maxime Brown- One in a million.

As always I played two shortish spots on the night, this one prior to Mick Welsh lasted from 9.40 ish till 10.10. A mixed bag of underplayed and classics to hopefully get em up and into dancing, with as ever, the in house 'Genuine talc'. Jackie Beavers- Trying to get back to you Tyrone 'wonderboy' Davis- Running a losing race Bud Harper- Wherever you were Jimmy Gilmer- Thunder and lightning Bobby Diamond- Stop Tymes- Love that your looking for Williams and Watson- Too late Al Robinson- Sho nuff bout to drive you wild Terri Bryant - Geni. Will try to post the later spot in a bit, that all for now folks!

Superb set Chris, greatly appreciated your services, some fantastic music with yourself and Mick filling the rarities gap excellently. Very hard act to follow!!! Will try to post this humble soulies mix of underplayed and oldies later. Heard a few people, comment on this mix of music for the night being about as across the board as you would find anywhere.

Hi mate, you know this has been reissued/ booted, I parted with a styrene reissue last week, vinyl is the one you want!

following on from the thread about Bostocks in Bradford, I had many bargains whilst studying in the smoke from a stall on Berwick streeet market, one i particularly remember was the chosen few- birth of a playboy, in multiples on both labels, but there were many more, I'm sure I can remember someone finding- Doctor truelove down there too. This was the early 8ts but I know it had been there for a long, long time before that. anyone else remember digging through the stock?

A good deal methinks, seen jimmy on here for less than 200, but not the english only Kikki Dee

How very Sad Paul The nastyness and the bitching is a foul cancer that has spread across this scene in the last few years! HOLD YOUR HEAD HIGH PAUL,,, along with Jez and Malc you gave us Old Torchies one of the greatest days Soul Wise since 1972-73 last year!! Here here, couldnt agree more with these sentiments!!!!!

[i used to rewrite treatments and film scripts professionally, this subject deserves more... For example... A young guy, carrying serious social baggage....20 years old, fresh out of youth custody gets left his late UNCLE'S records, a box of old vinyl...At first he's disinterested, ignoring the poignant note left with them....his life is in a rut, he's fell out with his mates, is pissed off with shitty dance scenes and commercialised Hip Hop....He does not want to get lured back into crime and needs something real in his life...He meets an older guy through chance, an-ex Junkie, now reformed and a former Torch or Casino face and shows him the record box....The guy starts to talk, about the scene and the records, what they mean, what they represent.... Something real, something special. Somehow, the old face's story strikes a chord with the boy....The old Casino footage is utilised in this manner, blurry, symbolic of memories, no need to recreate, let the real stuff do that job and then go inside a good venue on todays scene for the up to date stuff.... A weekender like Cleethorpes, the older guy takes him...A meeting with a veteran BLACK AMERICAN soul Artist, somebody who did a bit of time himself back in Detroit or Chicago but then found the music...other characters emerge and touch his life....It's a rites of passage weekend, the start of a journey....3 days that will change this boy's life forever.... Spot on make , when can I see this movie, sounds superb, what fantastic sentimnets!!!!!
