Winsford Soul

Steve. I,ve got the other side of the coin . My son lives with his mum but he,s at a age 13 where he would rather stay at home and go out with his mates than come to a strange city where he dont know anyone and stay in with his dad. So basically i get to go out all the time. There,s times that i would love him to say Dad i,m coming over to yours this weekend so i can spend time with you but that dont happen much. So Steve enjoy it mate while it lasts. Steve

Surely the Gospel Classics is Gospel Northern. Hat, Coat ,Door Steve

Never get to soul nights before 10pm.Not that i go many soul nights. Saying that i never get to nighters before 10 either.Normally leave the house about 10 then have a drive to where ever. Unless i,ve been asked to DJ. Then i get there early doors so as not to play anything thats already been played. Steve

I aint falling for that one Steve

Who Does Steve

I had the pleasure of DJ,in for Sam on his first nighter when he took over and also his last one . Loved the place, that and Tony,s. When they both closed in the same year i was gutted. Its because they closed that i became involved with Winsford, it was heading the same way and i couldnt let that happen. Which thankfully after a lot of hard work the venue is on the up again. Steve

Wish i knew where my copy is Steve

Have just returned from a intellegence gathering trip into no mans land. We have nothing to fear from the invaders. We fought them on the beaches. ( Washed Ashore ) We fought them in the Streets ( Run for cover ) and we fought them in the houses. ( Bricks , Broken Bottles and Sticks ) Some of our american allies have sorted them out . Steve

The Dells, Does anyone know i,m here. Think thats about the Vietnam War. Oops didnt read other posts Steve

What did Dottie Cambridge Sing. Crying my eyes out ! So am i . Which English dealer / collector left the place like that ? Know wonder he hates the English. You will be ok though Big Man Steve

Jimmy Beaumont. I never loved her anyway Freddie Paris. There she goes Originals. Baby i,m for real. Steve

Bazza, Nice choice but for me it would be either Night Owl, Bobby Paris or Sam & Kitty, I,ve got something good. Cant make my mind up but they are Northern Soul at its best. Steve

I know you meant the other smiffy. but this one likes it Steve smiffy

Grant Surely its only worth what the buyer is willing to pay for it and i,m sure you could get one a lot cheaper at a nighter than the price Pat is quoting. £300 should i sell mine. No Steve

My first venture to a nighter was in about May 75. Went the Casino on and off for two months then every week from Aug, never missed one then for four years then think i missed maybe a twenty or so till it finally closed. We all used to jump the bus or try and get away with the cheapest fare from Widnes to Warrington. then call in the Patten arms opp Bank Quay Station to see who had wondered in before getting the train up to Wigan. Cant remember what tunes where played the first night i was there or for quite a few nighters after that, dont know why that is One early memory is the timeless Night Owl which many years later i managed to pick up on a red cameo issue. Steve

Steve. How true your words are. I became invovled with promoting Winsford about two and a half years back and having been around on the scene thirty odd years i thought i was up to speed ( so to speak ) I also had my eyes opened, which in hindsight may have stopped me venturing into the promoting side of things but i,m here now, i try to stay away from the politics but sometimes you just get drawn in for better or for worse. Word of warning for anyone thinking of been a promoter Go into it with your eyes wide shut Steve

Top Man, We arranged for Edwin to come over to Widnes for Jimmy Buffs 40th ( muck fee 13 years ago ) and it was one of the greatest nights this scene has given me in 30 odd years on it and he sung " faith "so its a special tune anyway. thanks for posting Pete Steve

Thought you did, aint like you to get dates wrong . thats one thing record dealers are normally spot on with. Steve

Pete. it was actually filmed in 2000/2001. My girlfriend Lou is in it. Steve

Just txt him Neil, waiting for a reply. Will let you know as soon as he gets back mate. Ste

Neil. Try and get your arse over to Winsford on Sat, Couple of friends are coming down from Carlisle, One of em went the Casino when we did. Gaz will defo remember her, PS Its not the other Carlisle soulie you met at Morecambe. Steve

Yeah that was us lot mate. I even had a scrap on the train ( Widnes /Warrington shit). I must have been lucky with my punches never got a beating off anyone. I used to wear the pegs n shit like that in the last couple of years because as you rightly say the ridicule that went with the spencers etc, etc. Steve

Yes Neil. You and Dunc from Penketh, Causing me Grief with the punks coz i had to look after you KIDS The Punks picking on Dunc coz he was the little one. The good old days . Still loved those empty nights though mate as much as i loved the full ones. Steve

Col. Who was the girl from Widnes. can you remember her proper name ? Steve ( ex widnes ) Smith

I managed to get a red issue for £30 at lowton civic about 2 - 2 1/ 2 years back. So the bargins are still there, right place, right time etc. Steve
