Thank you to everyone for all of the fantastic contributions, the info in these few pages is priceless. My intention was to initially draw attention to all the brilliant tunes that have been discovered & played since Stafford & other 8ts venues of a similar period, but we have ended up with soooooooo much more. Kebs playlist is an important piece of NS history just in its self............thank you all for keeping the politics etc out too..........dont have time right now, but I'll return later after I have thought of more tunes !!!!!!!!!!!!.............thanks to everyone & keep it up. BTW Does any official play list for Butch exist, from any period in time ????. Russ

Yes & yes...........thinking about it, didnt Sam play this earlier ???????? Russ

Certainly was Mark, Rob Marriots Nighter, used to love it here, hammering it up from Pompey in Ray Gillens works van........then Reggae all the way home, used to kill me n Dicky. As I remember was some good Modern played too, altho' I cant remember who by ???????. Russ Russ

Wooooooohooooooooooooooo, any chance of a small snippet, altho' I think its more of a Nighter record, you know booming thru a big system kinda thing. Russ

Do not under estimate the power of the Scots Jocko.......Allanton was huge for us. Did I hear Colin might be making a come back ??????????? Russ

I have moaned & moaned at Dave to spin this again, in fact I thought he may have sold it...........you lucky blighters gonna hear it out foe the first time in eons at Lifeline...............listen to that back beat thump, thump, thump...............strings n things & a vocal to die for, will be huge again, in fact didnt reach its full potential first time round.........just great NS, what it should be all about.............
