Dave get back down stairs and wash your mouth out with carbolic soap now!!!!! QoF xx

Must agree with you son, the film would look a bit rediculous with all us 40somethings pretending to be 18 again. Why don't you audition Baz then I could play your mother, see it now, rebellious son - nagging mother, no acting required there then. QoF xx

Well that's 80% of us lot out of it then QoF xx

Great Days. Patti was probably my biggest musical influence ever QoF xx

Does that mean we're not normal? QoF xx

QoF xx

what you talking about mr postman you ain't old enough to be stuck in the 1940s QoF XX

Yep and still SH 1T QoF xx

That was very scary, just listened to it for the first time at 7.30am, not the sort of thing you want to start your day off with, absolute SH 1T, just hope it doesn't turn out to be one of those toons that sticks in your head all day. QoF xx

And I know one or two who have tried it QoF xx

Didn't mean it really A QoF xx

Or is the tongue within the cheek QoF xx

OK so your computer is faster than mine QoF

George Kirby QoF xx

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
