That's les Battersby then, lol

There's a whole thread practically dedicated to how soulful peel was, wasn't....

My first alnighter was the paddocks place in Holborn. There was a modern room upstairs which was seemed pretty empty. I can remember ion Playing saxie Russell, and shouting, 'stomp you bastards stomp'. Couple of dudes from upstairs came down, Addidas tracksuits, loads of Mr T gold chains and dreads. they had a dance off with keb, busting break dance moves, but he blew them away. Think I met Dave carne and sedge for the first time that night.

I went to that, crazy venue, rasta club?

I wondered if he knew Brian Jones, who less of an age gap?

I always go for sunday evening.

Ok, my degree in fashion from St Martins, must give me a rather limited insight. As does my 17 year's working in a secondary with kids 11-18. Or possibly the last 5years I've sent 3 nights a week at bmx tracks and parks with my son and loads or teenagers and youths in their early 20s. I'll give you the brand may have been cool in the late 60's and early 70s but its simply not a desirable brand and has sold any chance of credibility with countless ugly cash ins. Cheese and tacky. Sorry for the sarcasm and I may not be the target audience but I do have an credible veiw on this. They sell in places like Debenham, its not Thierry muglar for Christ's sake.

it just all looks like sale rail shite, cant imagine the designers have a clue about who buys this crap. they don't seems to have a any idea who the target audience is. apart from the original 60s gear (which was a cheap British alternative to brookes brothers shirts) the brand value is pretty low- think Falmers in the 8ts. This will do sweet FA to add value to the brand. the real deal

Probably the same as we do now, lol.

would 84 king st be the 2nd site for the paradise garage?

defect the 3rd, so there were 2 other defects before him? You'd have thought they'd got it right by then

you might be better on a breaks or disco site for that kind of track, sounds like something Larry Levan might have played at the garage

The Alex in Clapham, along with the bear in Stoke, defined what great soul night should be, at that time. The only place that's come close is different strokes.

Anyone got any old echoes? It was like a bible in terms of what was on at the time.

We're into Dave gorman territory here. O

I'm sure I have some bits somewhere chalky, when I see them again I'll pass them on.

Think I went to the met once or twice, Putney a few time but the Alex in Clapham was the best, a regular haunt, around 87/88.

Top stuff, love the photos.

Must say it does seem the DG was telling a few porkies about his stones connections. there is a real age gap between them that damages his credibility in terms of being at school with MJ. Nethertheless DG's reputation as a major influence to the introduction of black music to Europe stands firm

What years we talking here guys?
