Don't ya just hate that when they do that.........................

What a knockout, boy! that Levi Stubbs, every bit the soul singer icon...

Me too, there must a couple of people impersonating him, I've always found him a mild mannered Clark Kent sort of guy. Chris L

Good heavens !! What a bizarre statement..............maybe giving the punters a good kick in the balls as they come in would help too !!!!! Chris L

When they said "45" didn't realise they meant the floor gradient.......... He always tried to looks at things from a different angle.................

.................when I were a yung'un a bloke had one of those round my way, the old bill couldn't catch him in their Morris Minors.....................

I'm sure that if there a thread on MK I Cortinas somehow someone would bring up Ian's name !!

Darn Sarf would have been (circa 68/69) Fontella Bass - Rescue me Eddie Floyd - Things get better Impressions - You've been cheatin' William Bell & Judy Clay - My baby specializes Edwin Starr - 25 miles Moses & Joshua - My elusive dreams Homer Banks - A lot of love Johnny taylor - Who's making love Shirley & the Shirelles - Look what you've done to my heart Little Hank - Mr Bang bang man Charlie & Inez Foxx - Tightrope Peggy Scott & Jo Jo Benson - Soulshake/Lovers holiday J J Jackson - But it's alright Plus loadsa Tamla (Isley Bros, 4 Tops, Jim Ruffin, Marv Johnson, Contours, etc)

I went from late '71 to early '73, it was the bees knees, Jebby, Ian, Alan etc, great crowd, big buzz, luvverly looking girls.............................................. For me it is The Wheel, we dithered too long and before we knew it, it was closed. Chris L

Interesting, this very rare and secret photo is Richard Searling & Kev Roberts caught in the act of stitching up Neil Jones. Apparently they convinced Neils mum that the bottle only contained milk, fortified, so they said, with vitamins. During an extremely bizarre ritual after the infamous "bottle" incident both Richard & Kev somehow put Neil in a trance so that in July 2007 he would walk into the Kings Hall and ask to do the graveyard slot at 05.00am.............................them's weird people them's northerners am.....................

Actually called the Atalanta, built as a ballroom in the late 1800's. We used to go there from Walton, Hersham, West Byfleet, etc. all meet up on the train. Get to Woking station, down the new bit, past the Albion pub. We'd always be there before the place opened, queing up was always a part of the experience. The DJ Bob Potter used to play a reel to reel tape whilst setting up the decks. It was the same tape for all the times I went there, which I guess must have been for about 2 years. Tracks were Behind a painted smile - Isley Bros, Right Traclk - Billy Butler, People - the Tymes, Help Me - Spellbinders, Sly & Family Stone - Everyday people, can't remember the rest. The wooden dance floor used to bend when it got full and a popular record came on. Boy!! spooky I can remember all this stuff, I have no idea what I had for tea last night..........

We must have met at some time for sure, I used to go to those Aigincourt NS nights, the DJ was called Jamie ? I think. All the rest I went to also, where you from ? Chris Lalor

Could you expand on this please, not sure what this means, many thanks, Chris

........................

Went to the Shades when it got started, guess about 73/74-ish, Mike Ritson and someone called Jamie Somethingorother were the DJ's. W E Y B R I D G E !!!!! You have got to be kidding !!! I once in lived in Walton-on-Thames and know Weybridge very well, how the heck did someone get a soul night in darkest stockbroker belt ? Must have been some severe rattling of cappacino cups and snorting Range Rovers lad !! How about Birds Nest West Hampstead every thursday night, sounds to rival any Northern venue, run by Dave Burton & Dave Rivers, with some assistance from Mick Smith (kind of) a lot of sounds being broke at the Mecca and Torch came from this place believe it or not.

Similar to an ealier posting last week about pantiles that went onto Surrey-ish soul venues............... /index.php?showtopic=54185

It's no big deal, been going on for over 35 years, Isley Bros - Tell me rumour came from an album track, although I do seem to remember an Indian Tamla Motown issue 45 and maybe even a West German 45 release. Sometimes they can be different takes like D banks - Someone Somewhere. Chris L

Never heard of 'em but here's a pic. https://www.huckleberrysmenswear.co.uk/ikon...atio-shoe-black If you lived in the London there was only ONE place to buy shoes, in fact all clothes, the Ivy Shop in Richmond, the original proprietor is still alive and kicking. It was worth going just to listen to the soul music they played there. The Ivy Shop also spawned Quincy's also in Richmond. https://j.simons.mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/index.jhtml I guess where you live/lived kinda dictates the clothing maybe ?

Just how many all-niters are out there ? I can think of 5............

With a name like "polyveldts" I gues they have a rubber like sole ? Any pics ? I'm too old to actually know what they look like, it were Tuf in my day lad !!

Well, it is a demo (BTW I ahve atape of the Torch 1972 with Martyn Ellis actually playing this record.....well, not exactly that copy but "I've got my heart....................
