The scene was going from the early 60s, but not called 'northern soul ' until 1971 when Dave Godin called it this after his trip to the Wheel in December 1970. I know, I was there

Many thanks Blackpoolsoul

Just seen a green and white demo of this. Seems strange to be in the middle of the TMG run of red and white demos. Can anyone explain this anomaly? TIA

I've probably posted this before on this theme but December 1964 the Jazz Club Halifax (Plebians). It's been a long and happy journey

Think a Ward Burton sold for $2500 last week

Has this been booted? TIA Julian

With it being the season of goodwill I won't tell you to f*** o*f We know it's going to be a difficult time for you but stay positive and enjoy yourself. Best wishes Julian and Carolyn xxx

Hi Fred, John joined soul source yesterday. He's alive and well and living in Skipton. I've pm'd him but not had a reply yet. Hope you and Jacqui are both well. I'm djing at barnoldswick on the 27th if you fancy a trip to Lancashire!!!

Always remembered the name batman from the wheel. Famous alongside booper etc. Obviously I knew the two John's were not the same person

Hi Chalky, I think we may be getting mixed up. The John Bollen I knew in the late 60s/early 70s was from Skipton/Earby area and was a pal of Franny O'Brien, Les Cokell etc and used to come to Lord Jim's in huddersfield before we used to travel over to the wheel. He introduced us to Dave Godin who he met in London whilst at art college and introduced Dave to us northerners. Dave visited Lord Jim's and wrote about it in blues and soul. Googling john bollen, it comes up with a furniture design business in Skipton and one of the pictures does look like an older version of the John Bollen I knew back in the day! Perhaps someone on here in the Skipton area can confirm?

Thanks Sam, the last I heard of John he was back living in Skipton near Franny O'Brien. Julian

Hi I've just been told that John died on Wednesday. Can anyone confirm this news? I've known John from the late 60s - he's on the photo with Dave Godin at the Wheel in Dec 1970

Thank you kind sir

Hi Chalky Many thanks - I've bought some ( not 200 as I don't think I'll ever get to use them as the 45s I want are few and far between!) Julian

Looking to buy some new ones. Can anyone recommend the best out there? TIA Julian
