Hi Geoff Disagree with your comment, as my definition of storm is; uproar, outcry, furor and controversy. The record caused all of these in my little group, similar to comments on this thread. Even caused merriment when we imagined Fluffy's mum calling her in when she was little, "Fluffy your tea (dinner for those down south) is ready". These days its not all about packed dancefloors, sometimes its the memories a particular record invoke. My other particular record memory of the night was Len's spot where he started off with Nancy Butts, which I absolutely love. You can have as much fun sat down as you can dancing, these days, just wish some DJ's realised that too. Don't particularly like the record, but it's just about personal preference.............

Triode (Paul Johnson) played it at the last stubshaw in december. Went down a storm.

I seem to remember going there to see the Marvelettes (but I could be wrong, as I do remember being ill on those long benches, after eating something). We had a minibus from Preston with Derek Smith driving. Was it the Marvelettes? Can anyone confirm or deny, please?

Just remembered SAS did a soul night at the Hacienda Manchester...........it's all coming back to me...slowly..it was on the same night that Russ did an all-nighter at Maximes (Wigan Tiffanys). I went to both of em (as I remember stopping on the M61 hard shoulder for a wee going to Wigan )

Hi Chalky SAS of GB also did the Ritz all dayer manchester (Ric -Tic revue). I worked the door that day and I've still got flyers for it. Also they did an all-dayer at the blue rooms sale ( I'll Pm you the story of that :-)

Hi Chalky I'll pm you later next week, after I've spoken to some people to see if I can mention their names

Hi Des Pm'ed you Louis

R.I.P Otis Clay. Remember seeing him live at Colne Municipal hall back in the 90t's. He sure could sing. Proper Soul singer.

Yep its the Methodist.

Hi Kirsty I think its saint Marys church. I think there will be a good turn out for Gordon as he was one of the good guys and probably famous for his picture on the first issue of Northern noise magazine. A sad loss. Louis

Ey up Chalky it wasn't a reprimand on your spelling It's just that I have lived in Westhoughton for over 30 years, therefore I know how it should be spelt. Plus I thought I'd mention it before Triode did as he lives in the posh bit

It is spelt Westhoughton.

At least we can say that Derek Pearson is Not a Cad and a bounder now . Not that I had any doubts about his sales technique

For me it's got to be: The kent cd "Pied piper-follow your soul" (only one I've bought for me this year!) The only other one I've bought this year is the "express your soul - The levanna Mcclean mix" for my wife.
