Hi again everyone. Hope you are all well. Sorry to have to report the sad passing of our good friend, collector and DJ from Reading, Philadelphia ANDREW TURNER. Loved by everyone he met. Came over here and stayed with us frequently. He was a massive fan of the scene over here, especially the Prestatyn Weekenders. Was even the witness at our wedding! Will be sorely missed. Goodbye Andy. Thanks for the memories PS Thinking of putting on a tribute night for him over at The Oxcroft for anyone who’s interested in coming.

If this is true then we're gutted. Big friends of Joe and Becky in the scene for 25 years plus. First met at the Travellers Rest Rotherham many many moons ago. Regulars at most niters I used to attend including in the R N B scene. Heard he was in hospital (not sure why) but was expected to be well again and discharged. Will be phoning around trying to get more info.

Mark Mahony. A respected friend to a lot of us in the scene. Never seemed to have a cross word with anyone. Went to college with our Daniel and they became great friends. Will now be reunited with Anita. God bless Mona.RIP

Used to buy from Richard years ago and last got into contact with him last year. Never had any problem with him. Just tried to get on to his website and it looks to have gone from the web.

Weekly Poll - When Did Your Northern Soul Affair Start?
Stuart Bower replied to Mike's topic in All About the SOUL
Started in the 70's. Due to unforeseen circumstances it ended and started again in the mid 80's! The feeling never really left though. Regretted leaving but more than made up for it later. You never realise what you had 'til it's gone..."Something Keeps Calling Me Back!" -
Getting more and more in at this fine venue out in the country. Laid back music policy, laid back club run by friendly laid back people. Free admission. Great for dancing your sunday lunch off! 3pm while 9pm.© Stuart Bower

Standing At A Standstill. Is this the same Holmes? Carl?

Quite promising but ultimately disappointing. Just kept it on in the background as it were as I was otherwise occupied with something else. Didn't deserve my full attention.

Doesn't surprise me one bit. There are some real fanatics in this scene who think a rare 45-even if unplayable-is worth owning! I remember one time I made a copy (which I thought was unplayable) of Jack Montgomery-Don't Turn Your Back On Me-Barracuda into a wallclock. Had some company round. Someone saw it (Keith from Eccles I think) and offered me £200 in cash and trades for it. I thought he was a bit mad at the time but if he wanted it why not?

Here's the article you were talking about Graham. Hilarious. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2207490/Bettye-LaVette-book-A-Woman-Like-Me-reveals-sex-violence-1960s-Motown.html

And for years many people have automatically assumed i've been to certain places that I can't remember going to.They even claim they saw me there and that's where they first met me. I just go along with it and smile...

Well, this sort of thing has been going on for years in the scene. Bullshit. Some people feel the need to be respected and to impress, To be thought of as the 'big men/women on the scene'. Amazingly been everywhere, Had every big record and (amazingly) sold them, Probably been in the scene for some time as just another face in the crowd but feel the need to finally have at least SOME recogition for the time they've put in? Or were they around at the time but wish they HAD been there? Who knows?

Anyway, Classic or not, I try not to post any tune up on Facebook that I don't own a copy of myself. If people turn up at our venue on the strength of what they've already seen and heard they may be slightly disappointed that we've not got what they expected. Rest assured though that all the stuff they DO hear will be enjoyable..
-
Yes thanks Barry. We are fine. Hope you are well also. And no, you are not a dinosaur. Drop in and see us this coming Sunday at Stanfree. We'd love to see you again my friend..
-
Agreed Bazza. Ah yes, BS in the scene. It's everywhere and has been for years. Agree with tonyp-It doesn't stop anyone posting stuff as such-and-such classics unless he/she claims he/she actually WAS there. By the way, sometimes I hate telling everyone how old I am and sometimes I don't give a shit. I was 13 when the Torch closed its doors so I wasn't exactly a regular!.

Dunt tha mean AY up? Aye's scottish int'it?

100 Club Anniversary 45s. Got quite a few of these. But I'm not fortunate enough to own em all. I'd quite like to though.

Where Have All The Ebay Records Gone? 90% Have Disappeared
Stuart Bower replied to Mister Fish's topic in All About the SOUL
Maybe a lot of sellers have finally got pig sick of the extortionate charges that eBay slap on em for selling their wares. There are other places to sell. -
Crap news. Just been told earlier by Martin H. Very sorry to hear this. RIP Gary.

Tony's. Loved this place. I practically lived here when MYK Productions had it.. Had some great times. Lost quite a bit of sweat. Bought quite a bit of vinyl here. Made a lot of friends. Had some great laughs.
-
That's right. One heck of an album with quite a few other tracks on it that have massive potential. Recommended.
-
Yes, we're back. And already booked!
