  1. I bought one of these a couple of years ago, looks a more expensive watch than £400+. I wear mine quite often (wearing it now actually).
  2. Very sad news indeed, I've known Ritchie for years and had quite a few good records off him. I think it was Ritchie and Bob Foster that got me into real ale back in the late 70's.
  3. yeah just as I remember it. Queen's Hall old tram shed.
  4. Yeah I was there for that one, one of the best acts I've seen.
  5. That pic must be 80's, I was thrown out of the '73 gig. Didn't actually do any thing I was just standing in the wrong place at the wrong time and ended up on my back on the pier with my jacket ripped. I did see him a few months later at Leeds Queens Hall. I'm not a Major Lance fan to be honest.
  6. I was at the Major Lance night on Colwyn Bay pier but got thrown out by the bouncers before he came on stage.
  7. I'm sure I went to this one with some of the Llandudno crowd I remember Soul Sam was on when we got there. I don't remember it being very good and I'm sure we only stayed a couple of hours.
  8. Betty for me too, just love her voice.
  9. Colwyn Bay pier, sometime mid to late 80's I think we counted less than 20 in. Probably the coldest night of the winter, no heating on inside I stuck it until about 2o'clock and went home.
  10. Been for a walk this morning most people keep their distance, still plenty who won't give an inch even though there's plenty of room, had to walk in the road a couple of times, all ages as well.
  11. Billy's version is a classic, no doubt about it, but I think I'd rather listen to Jerry's version these days.
  12. I remember a seeing a guy in Wigan with a pair of baggies made from beer towels. And you think you didn't look cool.
  13. Yes I went there not a bad nighter as far as I can remember.
  14. My son bought me the Memphis '68 and the Harlem '69 for my birthday a couple of weeks ago, I've just started the Memphis '68, all very good so far.
  15. Linda Jones and Whatnauts all day long. One of her best I would say.
  16. Could be Pat Swallow or something like that, there was a bit of tension between Llandudno and Rhyl (skinhead days) so we didn't go there.
  17. I went there on a coach with the North Wales Soul Club, what a dump of a place. Sound system was dreadful my ears were ringing for days after. I do remember the Joker being played a few times that night, can't remember the DJs though. I think we had a better time going around some rough pubs in the city centre earlier in the night.
  18. Artistics for me but JH great version also, I'm not so much into the up-tempo stomp stomp stuff these days but ask me in 6 months time and it might be different.
  19. Great record, better than some of the sh*te I've heard over the years.
  20. Edwin by a mile, Doni is a awful singer imo.
  21. The friendship club, that's long gone, there's a school there now. I remember the Pomagne now, foul tasting stuff.
  22. Yes I went to most of them, they were quite good and not a bad venue for an all-nighter. Soul Sam was on a couple of times in the 70's, Richard Searling and Keith Minshull in the 80's. I remember one night in the mid 80's when there was about 20 punters in and on one of the coldest nights of that winter no heating on inside, I only managed to last until about 2:30. I only live about 2 mins. walk from the pier and have been watching it slowly fall apart over the last 20 odd years. the beach looks a lot better now without it.
  23. Not much in it but the Sheppards just nicks it for me.
  24. Yes I remember that one, all those so called soul fans sitting on the floor looking the other way.
