Happy Feet

Imagine the everyday Radio Three listener listening to this thinking , " What the xcuk was I listening to in the 70s lol

If Carlsberg did Northern Soul , would it be this good ?

Natalie Palmer , wow

Seano I think Mike should extend the likes for just one night

I'm listening on BBC sounds via the telibox , sounds brilliant

Hope they've got seat belts in the balcony seats , strap your self in

As we can only listen Via Radio Three live from 20:00 hrs ( and it does clearly say to be broadcast shortly after ) check out the link that both Russ and I have posted and check the Radio Three schedule for all info . Shall all interested parties meet up here later with a glass or two and nibbles , for a chinwag with an open mind , just an idea if you're not already busy ?

Buddy Lamp , is it still available , I Wanna Go Home ? Cheers Dave

Definitely on Radio Three live , broadcast later on the BBC probably iPlayer , check the earlier postings Drew , playlist and full details there

Hi Steve , Have pmd you Regards Dave

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001nnsq I think this is it , It may say page can't be found , Click on sounds , scroll to BBC radio 3 , Then scroll to the proms 2023 Then click Sat.15th It worked thanks Mike 👍 If you click on " show more " it gives the list of tunes to be featured.

Not the best photographer in the world but here it is .

I think this confirms Radio 3, so far nothing on the TV programming yet, but all the other televised Proms have been confirmed , but when I literally just checked again , across the banner heading a pop up came up " This programme will be available shortly after broadcast ,

Yes you are right , it's the start of the proms season starting on Friday oops

To be honest I think Stuart is on our side , he went to the Casino , he has always tried I think to promote N.S. in the right way , remember those live alnighters on the BBC he presented, and he still stands in for Craig Charles when he's busy on 6 music , if the dancers are the best of now , young energetic and followers of the music not payed actors , in costume, then hopefully it all goes well , There is plenty of footage documented from years gone by to show on a big screen , not necessarily focusing on the dance floor , so there's hope 🤞

Friday 20.00 hrs

Hi , have Pmd

Possibly but Northern Soul was never meant to be a spectator sport , so will be very surprised if no dancers are included

Reading through the lines could there possibly be a few dancers thrown in ? or just a back drop (see what I did there ) on the big screen behind the orchestra .

John Grant sold his collection to Geoff Finch of Vinyl Demand in Brighton and if my memory serves me right , he became a Customs Officer based in Newhaven I think. If anyone can remember the rather large record stall on the stairs at Top Of The World Stafford which we did , Geoff had hired a long wheel based Transit van to haul it all the way from Brighton to Stafford the record bar was full , Dave Thorley offered us the landing half way up the stairs, 90% of that stall was John's collection, we also did The Shrewsbury Aldayers, that Richard Shearling ran and the Gillingham Aldayers , where Steve Walsh amongst others was involved ( circa 82 ish Gwen McCrea , Keep The Fire Burning , I remember was getting hammered at Gillingham as a new release ) that was the variety and quality of his collection covering modern soul , Jazz Funk , deep etc 60s & 70s albums too. I'd had some great finds myself from the collection such as the California Playboy's album ,Sidney Joe Quails , So Sexy album , which featured " I Don't Do This " ,Gavin Christopher, album which featured" This Side Of Heaven " , Lou Kirton on 12" "Heaven In The Afternoon" and so many others too many to mention , plus a couple of boxes of 60s Northern that I used to haul up to the 100 Club , Frank Beverly on Gamble was probably the stand out , I think John had sold a lot of the traditional northern stuff himself as there was only about 500 x 45s left in the collection..

After the album release Alex , sometime in the future would it be possible to release the Johnny Bristol on a 45 ? , Deserves one in its own right , superb tune

Took the words right out of my mouth, hope it's a sell out as it's for a very worthy cause and a great version too.

After buying my first copy of The CODs, I'm A Good Guy , from Keith Minshull around 74 at WC. For a poultry £5. and he told me it was a wheel spin , I had no reason to disbelief him( a mear 17teen yr.old ) and then a better 2nd copy from him at at Stafford 83ish ( if my memory is still intact ) then from a purely Northern Soul / Early Soul angle this must have been imported by the bucket full as it's still only worth a £Tenner , and still a great tune , I also bought for the 3rd time a Mint copy 2 yrs ago just for the B side the only Mint copy I ever and still own , so the previous copies being say used somewhat ,surely puts it into the early mass imported section ,, but still a classic .

Still looking , project ongoing , had a few , but definitely require more , Thanks for looking Dave

I'm not going to spoil it for you but I believe all the footage also came from Claude's collection , has to be seen to be believed ,,,,,
