Just found a write-up I did for Allanton allnighter that was featured in Echoes with Guy as the guest. Allanton_write_up_1988.bmp Have got copies of several flyers/ adverts and will also upload the advert with Mark George as guest. Great nights and happy reading. Mark

Will do, am currently putting them on to cd and will upload some in the coming weeks. Thanks Mark

Toad we most certainly did, how could I forget you. I have just done a cd for Nogger dee-jaying at The Locarno. As Borat would say - "Happy times"! Great to hear from you. Mark

Joan Yes it is and will e.mail you in the next few minutes. Mark

Definitely have wonderful memories of the Mexborough nighters. As with quite a few nighters recorded the night on 18th June 1988, with the dee-jay line-up of Pat Brady, Butch, Guy Hennigan, Rob Marriott, Kitch and then finish with Guy. I agree with an earlier comment - Rob, the scene just ain't the same without you! I will upload this at some point. Mark (Gloucester)

Wonderful memories of Shotts. Went up there quite a few times with Mark George, Pablo, Simon, Dave Alcock, Edwin etc Both Mark and Pablo did guest spots and the crowd were just magic. Anyone know what happened to Jo (i think Bluett) who moved up to Scotland. I always used to borrow Jo's camera and take loads of photographs - Jo have you still got them? Jock you are and always will be a gentleman and a scholar. Adey Hall - Yes after many years of searching did eventually get a copy of the Whispers - "It only hurts for a little while".

Thanks to Mark Freeman for encouraging me to dig out my Casino tapes and re-living my wonderful memories of the latter years of the Casino. Although I use to go to the Oldies nighters and occasionally go in M's, it was the Saturday nights , main dance floor that always did it for me - oh if we could turn back time? Russ, Richard, Soul Sam, Gary Rushbrooke, Pat Brady, Keith Minshull, Brian Rae and Dave Evison etc. - Respect to you all for such wonderful memories! On some nights there was only a few hundred people in so am hoping that this is a great opportunity to re-live a moment in time. A few examples are: Neil Allen, Chris Plant, Tim Ashibende, Dave Thorley, Atlas, Geoff Oakes, Dave Shaw, Waggsy, Trusser, Harpo, The twins, Rob Marriott, Vernon, Martin Maylor, Blondie, Ricky Brown, Pete French, Fletch, Tracey, Pip and the rest of the Stroud contingent. The Gloucester crowd and so many more from Worcester, Redditch, Crewe, Manchester, Scotland etc. Also the people that I didn't meet at the Casino but then met afterwards and found out they were also there, Guy, Keb, Butch, Gilly etc. Also to the wonderful soulies that we no longer see around Dave Alcock, Pete Lawson, Tommo, Mudd and others R.I.P. Anyway if you were there between 1979-1981 please leave a comment. Mark (Gloucester) - Don't look at the picture as I looked quite different then, like more hair, and definitely less weight

Wonderful 45 and still occasionally put it on the decks. Once tried to dance to it at a Casino oldies night surrounded by soulies in 40" spencers. I can assure you I only tried it once. Mark

How very sad. The sound of Mike Terry and his baritone saxophone appear on so many of the Northern classics and for many was the sound of the ultimate Soul 45 and will continue to be heard, danced to and appreciated for many, many years to come. Mark

Chalky Like you can remember meeting Richard on stage at Dunstable in th 80's and still have the tape of him live at "The International" in Manchester 17th June 1988. It was a great pleasure to meet such a true gentleman as well as such a highly respected musician and producer. Our thoughts are with all who knew him and loved him. Mark

Although looking at the condition maybe $800 seems an okay price? Hopefully it plays well! Mark

Tony I agree and $800 seems a very good price to me? Mark

Mark Between us we can answer a lot of them, but struggling with this one. It sounds like Richard as the DJ, what year? Mark
