Is that the Hawks as in Ronnie Hawkins & Robbie Robertson? sorry if that's a bit of daft question but have been after some of his stuff for a while. QoF xx

I would be interested to hear what his reply would be. He has probably seen the light by now and running succesful nighters at some remote village hall in deepest norfolk or somewhere and just forgot to delete the web site. Perhaps not! I have just had a mental picture of Nigel in his buttoned up shirt, the tank top his mum knitted him and the very suspect nylon trousers standing behind the decks in a virtually empty village hall, with crepe paper streamers as decoration, jugs of orange juice on the table with some very iffy looking finger rolls, (which of course were made by Violet) playing his entire collection of Gary Glitter to his best firends archie, albert, frank, cyril and of course violet. Violet of course is wearing an alice band in her hair heavy black specs, a crimpolene frock and very sensible shoes. Violet has always loved Nigel and she could never understand why it wasn't reciprocated, surley Nigel's love of GG could of been a big hint - Wake up Violet!! Either that or he is busy re cataloguing his enitre collection Gary Glitter records while sending emails to GG offering to arrange his UK come back tour Errrrrr perhaps it's me that should get out more!!

I have just read the article and I realise it is predominantly referring to the late 70s, and apart from Colwyn Bay I did not go out on the scene much then but I feel that the North Wales scene was alive and kicking in about 1974 (and earlier, but I was too young) and was championed by, IMO the greatest female NS DJ ever, Patti Swallow from the Orbit (Palace Hotel) Rhyl. QoF xx

And in the words of Max Boyce "I know cos I was there" and the dixieland in Rhyl in about 75/76 QoF xx

You Left The Water Running - Barbra Lynn, one of my favorite tracks ever!! QoF xx

Not in the least worried just concerned that he is suffering from that well known ailment "closed mind syndrome" or "don't know what I am talking about itis" poor chap. His loss is our Soul QoF xx

I think his comments on Franki Valli The Night, in charts in the same week sums him up enough said QoF xx

In response to a post from The Soulman, who wanted to verify the lyrics for Siing In The Snow ( A record I HATE with a passion), I came across the following site Nigels Golden Days This guy has compiled a list of the top 20 for every week in the 70s and 80s, in addition to this he makes comments on every record. Here is a comment for weekending 19th April 1975 on the afore mentioned record. While agree with his comment on the actual record, read his comments i have highlighted in red - What do you think, does this guy know something we don't or should he just get out more? 13 Wigans Ovation Skiing In The Snow This was the year that the Northern Soul sound of Wigan Casino became popular in the singles chart, at least for a few months anyway. Skiing In The Snow was a song with vocals, and if it wasn't for the inclusion of the word 'Wigan' in the name of the band, you'd be hard pressed to identify it as 'Northern Soul'. It had peaked at number 12. As I typed most of this in April 2000, I had recently been copying some Northern Soul singles onto CD for a neighbour. And, after listening to over 25 of them, I will go so far as to say that this particular genre is the most over-rated pre-90s music. It's so bloody boring and repetetive. I later discovered that it was in fact a cover of a Northern Soul classic, but was hated by the hardened Northern Soulers. Northern Soul was not meant to be on Top Of The Pops ! QoF xx

Very silly hair!!!! QoF xx

NIMO QoF xx

I agree Joss Stone is fantastic, and I actually enjoyed her performance with JB last night. (Hey what is this - national agree with Pete-S day) QoF xx

A sad loss to the music world, and at such a young age (and to some of us that still is young) QoF xx

Is it just my bad eyesight but do some of the scans look like labels laid over a black background especially the Sam Williams QoF xx

Which item did you ask the questions on so we can read them. QoF xx

7 of his ebay purschases since the 18th May are now no longer registered users???????? Build up your own ebay cred or what?????????? IMO - Allegedly - etc etc etc QOF XX

I like "skeedle" in godz context better, sorry barbie QOF XX

That was in about 72/73 but more recently the DJ that got me back on track was Jeff Ware and "A Another" QoF XX

Undoubtedly Gary Beattie (now known as Gay Beattie according to "winsford soul" on the events calander for August all nighter) QoF XX

Shouldn't that read "Bestest English Teacher" QoF XX

I hope this isn't leading towards a group hug. QOF XX

nearly as useless as my contributions!! OOOOOOps is that off topic????? QOF XX

Now that is an interesting concept QOF XX

Now that is something I can comment on - I agree (as long as it's not modern ) QOF XX
