It was played a couple of times in the crazy horse[n/s venue] at Butlins the floor was rammed I sat there thinking I must be in a minority. it's too long and I would have said a modern disco record but your Ibiza tune is about right.

Greetings, I put a charity event on last year in Gainsborough and invited well known Dj's including our special guest Mary Chapman, so from my point of view charging £3.00 to get in was not ripping the paying punter off with a wealth of non-knowledge, as for clashing with other nights I planned and posted 6 months in advance when no other events were on, I will be doing one this year with a similar format and have selected a date not to clash. Last year we raised £674.15 [ don't ask about the 15p] which went to the air ambulance the Dj's were offered petrol money which some declined, I have been asked to put more events on but won't because I do agree that there comes a time when folk get fed up with the charity do, so imho once a year is enough.

Martha Wash, Denise Williams have still got strong voices and can deliver a good performance Sheila Ferguson just about gets by Percy Sledge struggles so does Billy Paul , Brenda Hollaway and Kim Weston who cares just to be in the same county let alone the same room was enough for me but Martha Reeves imho is being subjected to a circus act ok no-ones holding a gun to her head but I for one think she deserves far far better treatment than this.

We were at Skeggy and went to see the 3pm show it was delayed until 4.10pm but these things happen, the show imho needs to be sorted out to give some sort of dignity to Martha Reeves bless her this legend can barely speak let alone sing surely an introduction to the crowd and a walk on to a medley of some of her songs via cd and sign a few autographs would be far better than to subject her to trying to sing Dancing In The Street.Jimmy Mack etc, she just can't do it neither can Candi Staton , the best in the show was without doubt Dorothy Moore's Misty Blue she got a standing ovation and broke down at the crowds reaction to this majestic lady I applauded through tear filled eyes and thought it was worth the money we had paid for the weekend just to be there at that moment,a bloke in front of me was sobbing [girl] , the younger ones can still perform though. As for people not behaving well it's an adult weekend and unfortunately it's par for the course, in the NS venue the Crazy Horse there were one or two undesirables in but on the whole it was ok. Skeggy is adding a NS weekend to it's line up so it will be interesting to see how this works out.

I paid 50p for one a couple of months back car boot, that's about it's whack, be happy to sell it for £50 though.

Do you ever play the B side, The Game, not everyone's cup of tea but I've heard worse.

Thanks for looking folks but they have been claimed.

PM'd you.

Does anyone want any mailers I don't want anything for them just don't like binning them, I will be going to Butlins this weekend so I could take them there if you like.Cheers Paddy. [There is quite a few so don't mind if more than one person takes them].

I wont bid on anything above £2.75 for p&p in this country, it's proper taking the p.

Tommy McCook - My Best Dress, Greyhound - Moon River, Toots & Maytals - 54-46, George Dekker - Time Hard , David Isaacs - Place In The Sun, Tony Tribe - Red Red Wine, Toots & Maytals - Sweet And Dandy, Joya Landis - Moonlight Lover, Toots & Maytals - Country Roads, Jimmy Cliff - The Harder They Come.
