Only once seen a Nolan Chance on Bunky and never a Lillie Bryant - Meet me halfway, mind you not such a big trawler these days..................
-
He was on good form, here's him doing his stuff on the stage, I know it's a "talcummy" photo (you need to take 'em early at a NS venue) hope he's as good this year...........................

My latest aquisition, this Tugaris dating from the 1970s, Turgaris were a Swiss watchmaker that tried to go head to head with Omega.

Such sad news, as a young kid growing up in the 70s that Philadelphia sound was so much a part of our lives. The message is enjoy life to the full, plan for tomorrow but don't worry too much about it. Chris L

Love me Tissot PR-516 I will love and cherish it forever............ Chris Lalor, some distant relative of Peter Lalor

He used to DJ at the Chelsea Village in Bournemouth, he would sneak the odd soul sound in especially Dobie Gray. We got to know him quite well, that would have been 73/75-ish. Then he schoost off up norther.

I once got given a huge TAG Heur watch as a gift, it weighed a ton, came with original cert and cool box but far too big to wear. Must be designed for all those hefty Germans :whistling:. Chris L
-
I have had too many Sunday mornings where the battery powered watch wasn't working so I switched back to good old fashioned mechanical watches. :whistling:

Went there too, boy what a place that Dome was, I though the Torch was a dodgy place in a scary neighbourhood but the Dome trounced it on all counts !! Just talking about Matt Jahans the other day.

Best night for me when I arrived a little early and the guys on the door asked "Chris can you do us a favour ?" being the friendly Lundena that I am replied "Yeah sure" ......................................................what was the favour ? Chauffeur Sandi Sheldon around all night
-
This is me just before leaving to go to the Torch circa 72/73. I was leaving via the back patio doors and me mum grabbed me for a photo with me big bruvva and me gran...................could I wear a more dorky shirt My brother is wearing my Ben Sherman (I cut him out) Chris L

The Rocket was a valiant but doomed attempt at a proper Norvern Sowl venue in London, if you went (and I'm guessing you did) it could never attract enough real NS fans (they live up norf why would you travel darn to Lunden wear its all expensive and all that when you have the real thing on your doorstep) and it got filled up with non NS students who treated like any other London club and its days were numbered. Had some great nights there, Sandi Sheldon being one of them. Chris L

The Spellbinders toured Canada in 1965 & 66, they took their own backing band (it's only an hours drive away ) he had played with them, when they appeared in the UK in 1966 & 67 they came alone.
-
When he lived in London he travelled to Manchester to get to see the Spellbinders, they were very much mainstream soul singers so I'm guessing he was a soulman at heart (and a paratrooper !!) Chris L

Bought these 2 last week, just love the Tissot..............................

The Defintive Northern Soul Record- Pre 85
Chris L replied to Soulsmith's topic in All About the SOUL
No I'm not, it was always the last tune played at the Mecca, all the lights would come on, we'd all huddle about in groups seeing where we'd be going to next and this would be playing, I kid thee not. -
The Defintive Northern Soul Record- Pre 85
Chris L replied to Soulsmith's topic in All About the SOUL
This maybe the most played record at a major venue up until 1982, every Saturday night from 1971 to 1985.................. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QY71EkaniWY -
Clearing out my cupboards during my vacation and found these 2, dating from 1967 and edited by none other than Tony Cummings. I'm guessing this was the Uk's 1st real dedicated soul publication. As you can see from the covers there are loadsa NS stars included.

Sometimes when I'm listening to some really wonderful NS record, I wonder what would happened to me had I not wandered intot he scene.................

Top Dancers Early Casino Days & Other Venues
Chris L replied to Irish Spinner's topic in All About the SOUL
At the early Mecca (72-73) & The Torch Renee Geller (hope I've spelt this correctly) was as about as famous as some DJs, well into the fazst stuff, Coming to your rescue, Little Quennie, etc. Chris L -
Apparently in Florida (sensible bloke with this kind of weather) his mate Sidney Barnes said that he never got any money for "But it's alright" - boy haven't we heard that before ? Chris L
