Enjoy, even James Coit would somehow sound soulfull after a few McEWANS Champion.

That explains it, I thought I was suffering from something that's why I took all those drugs back in the day....

How Frank Wilson created the ultimate Northern Soul Anthem...(one more time for good luck) https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/how-frank-wilson-created-northern-soul-anthem-do-i-love-you/

The tune got played on mid morning Radio 2 yesterday, Gary Davies who was sitting in for Vernon Kay did his "Vernon's Vaults" section and reckoned it was ten years since the London issue copy came to light. Davies was telling the tale of it being one of the rarest records whilst the intro to the record was playing and said he liked the intro so much he would play the full record. He admitted that he had never heard of Darrell Banks or the song before but really liked it. Someone later got in touch explaining that it had been big on the NS scene for many decades and thanked him for playing it.

I have an e ticket for this event but I am now unable to attend, if anyone is interested the first person to get in touch can have it.

The Casino was seen as some sort of Den of inequity for it's drug taking but looking back everyone was in one place and you could throw a blanket over them, compared to today where I doubt there is a toilet pub in the country without some traces of a drug in it. Innocent days in some respects.

Interesting to see some of the folk who have been referring to the "Top 500" in deragatory terms for years now get to "contribute".
