Good programme tho - anybody else spot Andy Whitmore outside the 80s venue in the closing credits with a rabid mullet hair-do...still had his moustache tho - has he still got it now? Oi! Andy! U on here mate... MRez

Go to say I really enjoyed it.... and I'm glad its repeated on a Thursday cos me and the Mrs had a bit of a spat as she wanted to record ugly B at the same time as I wanted to record this. Was the footage from Chasing Rainbows on there, folks queing up outside a 'do', think it was, I'm sure I saw a familiar face......

......including Earnest Jackson-Reaching Out at a great price. One of my favourite 80's tunes,mind you Steve's clip does not extend to the guitar break but even that can't spoil a great record. Took me a while to get a copy and it cost me a bit more than this price a while ago....ok plug over but sometimes you just go to mention somethin'

well flush with the success of uploading a file, here is another. This is for the fortnightly modern sessions. Picture might not be so clever and I have put stuff back up the cupboard now so will have to do for now....

I have dug this out,hope it go's up ok. 1986 or 1987

forgot to say thay Red Stripe was 50p a can and I think Jonathon was general manager at Rock City at the time which helped with the nighters and stretching out the longevity of the modern night.

Alternate Fridays, one week sixties and one week modern, run by Dave Raistrick and he played at both nights. As for the modern nights, attendance towards the end was patchy it has to be said but the tunes that passed through there pretty amazing and if anyone has a list it will be bloody long. I'm pretty sure Adam did the first few then Robin started playing and I recall Jean Terrell-No Limit and Arnold MCculler as big tunes but maybe because Robins brother would Jazz it up (kind of )on the floor for those two!. Graeme Ellis did start dj'ing after Robin along with regulars Sam and Arthur, I remember many a bargain, as it turned out, being bought there sadly not still got em all. Nina Simone Touching and Caring, Tab Walton, THe Holt Brothers,Family of Eve was spun by Arthur for a little while, rememeber Gordon from Scotland who used to come to every session religiously with Kev Kelly buying this (fam of eve) and we played it over and over back at my flat, he wrote "the best fu#ck#ng record ever" across the paper sleeve. Regulars from Lincoln, Worksop, Selby, Derby, Scotland and Notts every week at the Modern Do's and of course Soul Frank from Southampton who has been discussed before on here. Best place for playlist probably old Blackbeats sure it was written about in there and Sammy Salter also did a review in Echoes one week. Audio first made big there I would say, Glenda Mcleod, Betty Cee, Modernique, James Cobbin, Lonnie Hill. Think there were only 2 nighters, Tom Jackson came down and played at one which brought down the folk Byrney mentions, Kerso, Ji G, Stevie, John and Co. Upstairs for every Friday session was the legendary Rock City Rock Night and now and again someone would stumble into the modern do from upstairs, one night a punk appeared , full mohican etc..stood there for 5 minutes then got on an empty dancefloor all alone and to something like Rideout took himself back to the Mecca or somehwere and danced like nobody's business for 5 minutes. I'll stop now

disco, soul,dance you can't beat it............ seriously....whats the sketch with this is, obviously pure New York, of its time ('77) and a great tune. Where was it played in UK ? on any soul / dance circuit,.....only in that thur london ? or did it make the provinces. sorry if this is a stupid question but I never knew the tune until the West End reissue last year or two.

thank you Gents hopefully thats boxed off.

great choice got a couple to put up when I get home later on

for years i have had copy of Wilson Pickett 1979 LP I Want You without a sleeve today in Oxfam I got one with a sleeve ! Fantastic track 'Shameless' on it a sort of rare groove two stepper (!) great track .lyrically Sam Dees could have wrote it (I think anyway), but he never. Title track is ok too, so now I have spare vinyl on it.

Whats Going On followed for me by Smokey's Tears of a Clown LP with great My Love is your love..great lp.

magic, think i might get the gin out and take a trip down memory lane, especially as I just saw the Controllers doing Stay.

Agreed, first Jazzmatazz is awesome stuff....
