  • A brief intro...
    Bolton lass through and through. Have loved the good old soul music from being a teenager way back in the late 60's. Lived and breathed the Cromwellian in Bolton in the early 70's where some top tunes used to get played and done a few nights in VaVa's. Few visits to Blackpool Mecca, Wigan Casino mid 70's, although not a regular. Managed to get to the Twisted Wheel, Manchester when it was on Whitworth Street as well early 70's, but sadly only on two occasions.....fab tunes there though. Have to admit to some regular nights at Troggs in Farnworth as well (what a place ).......and if any of you ever went there, you'll know what I mean Love going to the soul nights at Rumworth Hall in Bolton whenever I can get there. Getting way too old for this dancing lark but just can't keep mi big bum on the seat when the musics playin'........ya just gotta do it

    Had some great nights in there when it first opened. Wick Barrett used to DJ when I used to go.

    Good one Twoshoes Junior Walker and his sax........never fails for me

    Got to say that last night's slot on the one show was............ ...........as useful to the scene as a chocolate fireguard
  6. Sal
    Absolutely Andy Jackie Wilson at 30 and Levi Stubbs at 48 ?????????? Get out o' town .......top ten positions in my humble opinion. Junior Walker and Jackie Lee missing there for me as well ......and not even a mention of Jimmy Ruffin??

    No problem mister.......I'm just one of those old fossils from the 60's......you know what we're like

    Don't be silly sir cumference........just because some of the music wasn't to my taste doesn't mean to say that it wasn't a crackin' venue. There is no doubt whatsoever that some wonderful classics came from the Casino. Just think it's an age thing.....I started off late 60's on the soul scene so my "tastes" tend to be a little bit different to the younger ones who started going to the Casino around mid 70's.

    Think that's the problem I have with these sort of tunes if I'm being honest......can't get my head round pop music being classed as any genre of soul music. But that's just my own personal take on it.....probably an age thing (and I'm mighty bl**dy old !! haha )
  10. Sal
    Wouldn't class it as either to be honest.....it's just pop music to me that
  11. Sal
    ......oh and add that Gary Lewis (son of Jerry Lewis) ....^My Hearts Symphony".......words fail me
  12. Sal
    Bobby Goldsboro......"It's Too Late" ........ how the hell that is classed as soul music I'll never know. Tunes like this one was probably one of the reasons I didn't last long at Wigan. Thankfully, there was some excellent classics came out of the Casino but there sure as hell was some utter cr*p as well.....just my own humble opinion here

    Just listened to that track Bazza, and yeah, like that just as much as the Marvin Gaye one. Can't believe I've never heard either one of these before because "All For You" has been one of my favourite instrumentals for years and years. Soul music......can one person EVER get to hear every single track out there in their lifetime???
  14. Sal
    .......to come across something you've not heard before. Never knew that Marvin Gaye had done this vocal version of Earl van Dykes *All For You"......one of my favourite instrumentals. Like it
  15. Sal
    Hated this but it was definitely a girlie tune.......
  16. Sal
    That's brilliant.....well done all
