  5. Maybe he can buy Kenny Burrell's Frank Wilson then
  6. You know, is it that important? Meethinks not, the NS scene is about more than 1 record, albeit a cracker.
  7. Halcyon days................................agree with the Jerry Cook single, it was a monster in it's day lad Are you still in touch with all of them ? Chris L

  12. You know if you look at the DJ line up that should give you a good idea of what will get played. If you don't know them then feel free to ask in advance what you can expect, you know it makes sense..........
  13. Here's a thread from some months back about soul venues in that area.......... /Pantile...hot#entry564088
  14. In that case I daren't ask her age .......................
  15. Yes that one was called the Wooden Bridge but the Plaza went W A Y W A Y back, reckon 1969-ish latest I was not quite 16 (I was dating an 18 year old girl from a local Guildford council estate meethinks Belfields - was long time ago). Very much sta-press, Harringtons, plaincaps era
  16. I understand they start pulling it down after Christmas........................
  17. I really don't remember the Shades of Green, I used to go, I know Mike Ritson very well, bit of a blur I'm afraid Bet I'm the only one on SS that used to go to the Guildford Plaza pretty decent soul nights on a Sunday, meethinks called the A Train some great nights out......... Chris L
  18. Perhaps you should find out what the music policy is before you go to a venue save yourself some money & effort.
  19. This is a Bond Mark G reckon you'd get a bout 46 NS fans in this
  20. The 1st car we ever went to a Northern Soul venue was a Ford Popular, only had three gears and lorries were overtaking us. It had those vacuum driven windscreen wipers that used to slow down when going up a hill It took so long to get from south London to Blackpool we took in turns to sleep on the back seat Chris L
  21. Me too, when I win £20+ million on the lottery I will open a big house in the country where "oldies" can come for weekends for free to dance to oldies all weekend long................... Chris L
  22. Jake The best of all is the one on the inside of the Torch CD from Goldmine, your father in his prime doing what he did best DJ-ing at a Northern Soul venue. If you contact Paul Donnelly he's made a CD from a tape I have of your dad performing at the Torch circa Oct 1972. Good luck Chris L
  23. He was indeed a real character and it's lovely people are still talking about him. A super DJ in spite of the fact he had no or little records he seemed to come alive (more than usual) on stage, Martyn was always destined to go out with a bang. Gone but not forgotten.................... Chris L
  24. It was the Agincourt, right on the A30.......... Chris L
  25. I found going to the bogs the most scary thing of the whole night The 1st I went I saw teeth marks on one of the wooden doors But nothing, I mean nothing beats coming out at 08.00am in the morning wondering just what the freck had gone on the last 10 hours Chris L
