Hi, Just a senior moment! It's, meeeeee I've never seen these pix - where are they from? Who was on stage? Jx

Ahh the shoes ... First there were the soft white granny shoes worn with ankle socks Then the black platform sole lace ups with socks Then the black leather nurses lace ups with small heels and black stockings (those who were at Yate one night when Tom Halvey held me upside down to show them off might remember!) Then came the black spanish flamenco shoes with little straps - bought in 1983 and still going strong! You'll just have to guess what they're worn with ... Once wore a pair of little black boots to dance in - they were great but somehow didn't look the part. Just invested in two new pairs of shoes though - some glittery ballroom strappies with suede soles and a new pair of flamenco shoes with smooth, soft leather soles. Ahhh shoes

I'd just like to say a huge thank you to everyone who came to my 50th birthday party on Saturday in Reading. People travelled from all over the country including from Barnsley and Shropshire. Jon Buck even came at midnight for the last hour and brought his dog!!! There were folks that I hadn't seen for almost 30 years and some who hadn't seen each other for even longer. The DJs were on top form - thanks to Derek Mead for organising them (and the photographer which was an inspired pressie). His task was a bit like herding cats I think, but all played the best of the best sounds - loads of favourites plus some great tunes that rarely get an outing. The floor (and carpet) was packed all night! So, special mention to Dave Greet, Tony Ellis, Roger Stewart, Pete Wid, Derek Mead, Rob from Newbury - I hope I've mentioned everyone but I was so busy dancing and socialising I couldn't keep track all the time. I now have a cellar full of the best Champagne and have already scoffed loads of exotic chocs. The house is full of cards and other gifts too. Will try and contact all of you to say personal thanks. Looking forward to the next one ... Love to you all Judy PS will load pix when I work out the technology

Hi Jack is still around and attends a few events - I've seen him at Stoke loads of times. Katie Rudd is still in Huntingdon and Spud Taylor isn't! But he's still around on the soul scene.

Anyone know the whereabouts of Sammy from Wigan - was a chef in the Navy back in the 80s based in Portsmouth. I think his real name was Jeff Nugent and he had another friend also called Jeff who lived in Wigan too. cheers

Thanks to everyone who took a look - we are now back in touch courtesy of a PM cheers

Anyone know where Knocker is now? We used to go everywhere together for a few years then lost touch ... the usual story

Hiya Very likely - saw Harold Melvin and his Blue notes about three times for some reason (Essex, London and Stafford although I had forgotten that one!) Really soulful stuff - even if it was a bit cabaret. See you at the party ...

Hi Anyone know how I can contact Gary Steele from Barnsley - he was in the army and based down in the south for a while. Drives a truck for a living I think. Last saw him at Trentham Gardens at few years back Cheers Judy

Adele is down in Bournemouth now - have bumped into her a couple of times at Steve Lyons dos.

My first ever visit to Wigan was for Gloria Jones - great night. Spent some of it in a backstage party and could have sworn Marc Bolan was there!!!! Also seem to remember Tavares???

Chic at Wigan

Park these where you want ... Unsatisfied (gritty?) The Ice Man (horny?) Who's making love? I'm your pimp

Sounds like it needs a bit of support - where was it exactly? Might take a turn out.
