    I don't specifically remember any northern soul being played, not that I knew what it was in 1970 but back then Tighten up Vol 2 was played on a loop by the Octopus ride when the fair visited our small town. More recently, about 12 years ago, I was in Clacton and took my daughter on a ride which was playing some fabulous funky music. The ride operator told me the name after I enquired but my daughter's demands for an ice cream made me forget before I had a chance to write it in my phone .

    It really feels like a member of the family has left us. RIP Winston, you will be sorely missed and there is a space on the dance floor that will always be yours.

    Don Letts and Keiron aka Scooby a dj from Kettering. A very insightful and well told documentary. BBC4 had done some great music documentaries but I thought this was one of the best.

    And this completes my fave top 3 Five Stairsteps tunes.

    Love this as well.

    I think this is a cracking tune, cost me a fiver or so.

    At then end of Northampton Town's home games, they play 'Rinky Dink' by The Johnny Howard Band which is about as close to anything 'Northern' I've heard at Sixfields.

    Pity, it finishes a week before I'm due to be in Hartlepool.

    There are often reports of mini tornadoes in this country much to the chagrin of the weather commmunity who cite 'either it's a f*cking tornado or it isn't.' Perhaps the same applies to all nighters. However, if I see 'mini all nighter' then I know it's shorthand for a 4 am finish. Perhaps mini nighter would be a better term. Also, if it gets light at 4am as it does in June/July then technically, that's the end of the night.

    I didn't know Paul personally but from everyone's description I knew who it was who has sadly passed away. The first time I ever saw Paul spinning I was blown away, amazing!! My Sincere condolences to his family and friends.

    'I really love you' by Dee Dee Sharp got a bit of a play on 'Off their rockers' on ITV tonight.

    This is one of my favourites. Usually with a female singing the words don't really apply directly to the male listener but this case when I hear the words 'When you see that boy, walking down the street' and 'I really love that boy, cos he's my pride and joy' I think of my faithful Boxer dog Billy who died around the time I first heard this tune. <3

    I'm sure that was a Robert Wyatt track the play finished with which seemed an odd choice for a play about northern soul. I enjoyed it in parts but (and I admit I wasn't giving it my full attention, maybe for the same reason as others) I wondered what the hell was going on at others.

    A couple of Royalettes tunes have been mentioned but not this one which I think fits the genre perfectly.

    I had to turn Stuart Maconie off the other day, I thought I'd tuned into Radio South Lancashire by mistake. I think the bloke forgets he has a national audience, either that or his knowledge of anything doesn't extend beyond a 20 mile radius of Wigan.
