As Soul Shrews says "It'll be a blinder" & straight into me brand new binder. Just signed up again for the year, not only a fabulous mag but possible collector's items of the future, either way I love it. Take care, be safe & remember, "I'm not an Anorak at all, just a bit of a Parka", Spot.

Soz Joan but it is a c/u, Rob had it covered as Hilda Ogden, Mick H & Arthur have it covered as Ester Grant, I only know cos someone told me who it actually by but if I told my life wouldn't be worth living. Spot.

After much in depth research via the Kremlin & the KGB Sheffield I can now reveal that Short Sleeved Sergei is in fact the left over unused & most defective bit's of Michael Jackson's Cosmetic Surgery's between 1908 & Hell freezing over & he was patched together in an Edward Sissorhand's manner close to Chernobyl Power Plant on the 26th of April 1986, it is unsure where the hand licking move came from but it is thought it is to cool the radiation burns caused by handling the Atomic Tatties or that he is just checking his hands are indeed flesh & not Stainless Steel Sheep Shearing Shears which could do untold damage whilst relieving one's self in the Khasacistan, bring more than a tear to the eye I can tell you. I also noticed that later in the film besides trying to imitate Mario Lanza he put in a new move that he will be debuting when the Invitations - Ski-ing in the Snow is released there shortly. Fabulous Simon, God Bless him & all who Sail with him, Spot.

Loads of tunes I truly love, my fav Northern dancer being Franky Beverley - If that's what you wanted but the track that always gives me Goose Bumps & makes me shiver like an emotional cripple is the Temptations - Beauty's only skin deep, what a tune & what a voice Mr Ruffin had. Take care, be safe & remember, "Newies are Oldies of the future", Spot.

Hope someone can help I'm looking for the following tunes for mates; Ellie Greenwich - Baby - Red Bird Valentinos - Sweeter than the day before - Chess. Descent prices & conditions, please pm me & I'll put them in touch, Cheers, Spot.

Hiya you two. Me and old spot the dog going. Dont seem like three years since New York does it. Luv Gail

The main place in the early 70's for Gail & I plus numerous Goolies who would take 6 hours (No motorway's) to get there & listen to Mr Levine & Curtis play quality tunes all night, then onto Wigan to listen to Mr Winstanley try & claim to have broken them first . The escalator is the image that's stayed with me, I mean how posh was that an escalator to your own piece of heaven, also the long corridor of Tartan & the Shields but really it was the music that made it . BTW the Palm Tree's were there from day one down in the main room & yes it was called Bali Hai off the main room, which I'm sure was just known as The Mecca Ballroom. Take care, be safe & remember,"That's where the music takes me, it takes me to a brighter place", Spot.

Soul Forum's that ask silly question's like, "What do you most hate about the scene", surely that's a perfect cue for all the negativity to come gushing forth, as proven. Take care, be safe & remember,"If you've nowt nice to say, then say nowt", Spot.

No but he nearly dropped dead with with gut rot after playing a top spot. Tezza, Think you've answered your own question there, we know one look at the line up (except Stoke, Kings Hall) tells you exactly what your going to get, it's like the "Across the Board" line which is seldom true, so you choose wisely Grasshopper & go where the music take takes you. Take care,be safe & remember, "I'll be seeing you, in all the old familiar places", Spot.

Tezza, Could it be that well known couple, Vin L Carver & Bootsy Leg? Or even that lady Ree Issue. Take care,be safe & remember, "Saturday,Saturday,Saturday....Saturday,Saturday, Saturday", Spot.
