Amazing!-I`ve been playing "TODAY`S MAN" for years. One of the few 45`s which I`ve never even bothered playing the flipside. Here`s a tip for all you kids out there-play BOTH sides of your 45`s-they may surprise you...

What about VIRGIL BLANDING- You Turn Me Around -VERVE 10428

Performer, Song Writer, Producer, This guy did it all. Without him this scene wouldn`t be half of what it is today. Genius. R.I.P.

Well,if anyone`s at the HILL tomorrow night and asks me for either DRY WELL, THE SEEDS (or both) we`ll be happy to play `em. Because we`re like that. Should be another crackin` night... see you there..

Oh, you`re not one of those `modern 21st century people` that get paid monthly are you? I`m an ancient druid from the north who gets paid weekly!

Sharon-Again you`ve hit the nail on the head. Exactly what we were talking about last night.

So THAT`S why you and Wendy hardly come to our place anymore, mate.. BUT SERIOUSLY FOLKS: Everyone`s welcome at our place-whatever type of person. Imagine if you could have a party in your front room at home and could invite a maximum 120 people! But only 50 on average turn up. That`s how we run it. Party, party ,party....Relaxed laid back atmosphere..great dance floor..friendly hosts people and atmosphere On average I lose money running Barrow Hill after paying the DJ`S-paying for the room-paying for a few drinks-paying for a taxi home. Works out like a cheap night out. Never expected to make much money, if any at all. A chance to play different across the board sounds with no rules along with stuff that people know-no pressure- we encourage all our guest dj`s to do the same. This venue will be around for a long long time...we do it because we love to do it- and for the love of it.

My card was black and dark yellow. I had to reinforce it with sellotape after long to stop it falling apart....

Used to attend Keele in the early nineties whenever i could-got most of the patches. Once went from Rotherham with a guy who worked for British Rail on the trains. We got off a stop too early. Then we started hitchhiking whilst "under the influence". He didn`t know where he was going either. Got stopped by the police-two suspicious characters carrying holdalls in the dead of night...After being searched we asked for a lift into the next village..and a got a police escort back to the PREVIOUS village-fascists! Arrived about ten minutes before Keele closed then made our way back to Crewe train station- down the hill that lasts forever if you`re walking....happy days though-funny as fukc....

Hope you enjoyed it, Mandy? We had a great time and we`d love to see you there again....

Didn`t they change the colour of the membership card? To Yellow and Black? BTW I remember having to wrap sellotape round the card to strengthen it as it was falling apart. Can`t find the card-I`m sure it`s hanging around somewhere. If I find it I`ll scan it or take a photo and post it up. Great nighter-one of the best.

That`s one of the few anniversary patches I`ve never had!

Agreed. But I`d say it`s MUCH better than this! Nice- with a great stomping chorus. The scooter crowd should like it along with "And I Say To Myself"

Nice-but the flip`s better-It`s on our 3rd Anniversary CD! "We`re So Satisfied"

Sold "Little Rose Little" yet Kev? Was gonna buy it but can`t find it on the site anymore mate. It`s sold then? Regards Stuart

No- these are genuine releases. When You Love Someone/I Need Your Love WAS booted but it was white with blue lettering and NO ship logo with a raised ridge on the label. When You Love Someone/All Of My Life on Bay Sound was a genuine release. Same with the others. But the original release of I Need Your Love (on Bay Sound and the earlier rarer Caravelle for that matter) the flip was Love Is The Thing. Hope this helps.

And (of course) not to mention probably his most famous ....MASTER KEY

Last time I heard this it was spun by Soul Sam (Martin Barnfather) in the small room at the Suncastle, Skegness!! I was the only one dancing!! Also played THE OUT OF SIGHTS-For The Rest Of My Life.

Was this the one that was run by OKEH Soul Promotions? If so I always wondered how they got the rights to use the name-and then I thought who gives a shiny sh*te... Got most of the anny patches.. Good memories-talking each other`s head off for 4 hours at a time in the cafe downstairs..

Ditto. And have I some stories to tell about Matchy Clowery...great days..
