Hinckley Leisure Centre, 4 April 1982 if I remember, I was 16 but looked 12, no idea how they let me in? Then Clifton Hall the following Friday, and lots more after that. Interesting that there are only a handful of people on this thread who started in the early 80s. The scene was on the wain then. Having just missed Wigan all anyone spoke about at the time was the end of the scene, and compared every new venue to the Casino, which is probably why I got into 60s newies and Stafford cause they (the music and the people) didn't try to compare. Happy days.

But do you all remember Steve's hairdo? Is it real, does he leave it on the pillow at night with a small saucer of milk, bring out for special occasions? Come on Steve, we need to konw.

Anyone else see Steve Cato on the telly last night, walking, talking, acting, breaking some moves, and sporting a rather dandy haircut (was that real in those days Steve?) on a little short film on BBC Four called Function at the Junction? Nice little 15 minute film about a dance competition in some generic soul club in 70s Manchester, but made all the more realistic by our man Cato. Pity the rest of the dancers were rent a crowd, but then I suppose it was meant to be in the 70s when soulies were young, as opposed to most of us these days being near our 70s, so maybe they had to hire youthful dancers.

Nighters have a new dawn, a new age to look forward to. As our children grow old, and fly the coop, as our mortgages get paid and our jobs less important, as we enter old age, when everyone knows a person can survive on three hours sleep a night, a new scene will emerge, populated by grey haired and wrinkled but snappily dressed soul boys and girls, happily supplied by their local GP and shuffling madly till the rubber comes off the soles of their carpet slippers. The only downside I see is where to dispose of those unsitely colosotomy bags and dangerous wheelchair activity on the dancefloor?

So what will they be playing for SW on Saturday then Shane? Will it be Gene McDaniels? Or possibly NF Porter, but I guess more likely George Freeman It's going to be Barbara Mercer/Tobi Lark for the mighty whites.

Isn't Terry Callier a bit pricey, considering the label, I mean it can't be that rare. I bought mine for a few pounds in the 80s, and swapped it and another record I can't even remember in the 90s with a Mr Tony Smith for Jimmy 'Soul' Clark "I'll be your champion", which costs less now than Terry Callier.

Well if Shane and Joan had gone to Groovy Grooves last night they would have both been satisfied by seeing Mr Hennigan do that turbo shuffle of his all over the dance floor (well in one corner for half a record but I think this does constitute a top DJ dancing). Keb was a tikwando (sp?) champion I think, which is why he's really good at the twirly stuff.

If it's about three people caught in one, and one of them being a fool etc etc, then yes, sadly Although this thread does show very succinctly that there is no accounting for taste! I've found myself thinking 'you can't hate that' when someone puts up one tune or another, but also thinking 'totally' when along come something else.
-
And that probably also explains the numerous and expensive bills for porn websites you've been receiving since he left. And although Mr Darge is responsible for some of my favourite tunes, he is also responsible for Whirlpool - I can't remember the artist - which would get my 101 vote. David
