If I'm not mistaken, on my way home from work 1 night last week about 1030pm I am sure Colin Murray played the Muthafunkaz track on radio 1 of all places

Got a 12inch dj demo with CJ & CO devils gunn and Elcoco Cocomotion. Also got a white demo and white vinyl of Dillingers Cocaine in My Brain.

Just put the BBC news on and saw the same broadcast, what a shock, I found this link on CNN, it is obviously a few hours old. https://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/Music/12/2...ling/index.html R.I.P James Brown. Peter

Miss Popcorn...many thanks. I have managed to find her cd "Songbird" with the track on.

Does anyone know who's singing the version of Wade In The Water currently used in the Vaseline Intensive Care advert on TV at the moment Peter

It's 4 O'clock Sunday morning at a packed allnighter......Soul Brother Six "Pyramid"

--> QUOTE(mark.b @ Sep 4 2006, 10:13 PM) link hi peter do you not remember me Mark baildon, tony jackson, peter burgess (budgie) ,siz hutchie, steve cullen,john blackburn, hazel duncan, we were always there with hilary and wayne and the others. we all got to know each other at the blue rooms in sale. douglas now lives in london and works in brighton, have seen him at cleethorpes last two years, he has just had his 50th birthday party think al jackson went. remember the john grant badges, natty neil was mental , wayne and jackie are still married, saw sue several years ago she still lives bramhall way. mark HI Mark, yes I do remember you, and Tony Jackson and the others (as well as the badges I still have a few copies of Siz's soultime fanzine), I was trying to think of other names whilst typing the message, I saw Wayne and Jackie at AL Jacksons 50th then at the Xmas Ritz Allnighter a few months later. Peter

I remember we all used to meet up in Paddys Goose behind Chorlton Street bus station about noon, (some people to remember, Douglas, Wayne and Jackie, Willy hunt, Natty Neil, Hilary Mee, Sue, Al Jackson and many more) then wander down to the Ritz for 2 O'clock, then after a while a club called Smartys (down the steps next to Spinn Inn) opened on a Sunday night and we would go there for a few hours after the Ritz. At the height of the Alldayers I think they ran fortnightly. I still have a metal badge saying "John Grant The God Of Funk" . He did live Rochdale way and remember him having a big birthday bash one summer in his garden. Found them.....the Four Brothers badge has a mirror in the back.!!

Mate, play this for the Suveners Mrs Mills "Lovers Concerto"

Mischief, I wouldn't take it to heart, I've know you for some time now and you always play a good set. I could not make the IOW this year , BUT when I do go to a scooter rally I now go with a different frame of mind than I do to a nighter, most of the rally going scooterists are quite happy to listen to for example Billy Ocean Red Light Spells Danger and the like, and only know the more "commercial" sounds like you mention. Peter.

A few pennyworth from me, I cut my teeth at the Casino and The Mecca, Manchester Ritz and enjoyed/enjoy sounds from each venue. Some of my favourtie "Disco" tracks are (but I would not define them as Disco, just good dance records but would define something like Evelyn Thomas's HIgh Energy as DIsco). El Coco Cocomotion. Wilbert Longmire Black Is The Colour. Charles Earland Let the Music Play and Over And Over. CJ & Co Devils Gun. Fat Larrys Band Center City. Jones Girls NIghts Over Egypt Kaygees Kilowatt Brainstorm Lovin Is Really My Game Pete

Hermans Hermits (Peter Noone) did a version of Benny Spellmans Fortune Teller

Absolutley awesome Baz. I've found a few interesting clips in the past. This link is of a breakdance comp but if you watch it long enough they dance to Time and Eddie Kendricks A Date With The Rain Here a clip from the TV show soul boys https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSJ7QA2c33Y How about this one uploaded by Soul Girl. Sorry for the links but couldn't work out how to embed the file. Peter

Very sad news indeed, Nige was always friendly and ready for a chat, he will be sadly missed.

At the last Ritz-Allnighter in Manchester a couple of years ago Bob Hinsley finished the nighter with Jerry Butlers Stop Steppin On My Dreams..Brilliant

I actually heard it on Radio 1 on Friday morning on the Joe Willy? (whiliy?) show at first I thought I had miss heard her announce Terry Callier, but no, she was correct. excellent track.

HI Mischief Managed to scan a copy of mine, it is a dark blue, with the marks 65-1037 A, "VOCAL", A 59636 (Though the A is more like a triangle.) Same on the B side thought it has "INSTRUMENTAL" instead of "VOCAL" Peter

My wife keeps telling me that "Take it easy on that dance floor your not getting any younger you could have a heart attack" , but what a way to go..

Nightwatch "Lips To Your Heart" 7th Wonder "Captain Of My Ship"

Cheers Paul..

See you at Crewe with a bottle of air and a box of knee support bandages

I've been reading this thread with interest, first time I saw Carts and my first introduction to northern soul was at Sedgley Park rugby club, (Les Barry used to dj there on a Saturday night) I can remember Carts and Molly dancing to the Natural 4 "The Devil Made Me Do It". I was told Carts was at the Longfield Suite Soul night a couple of months back. Even though I am from Swinton I had a lot of friends in the Prestwich, Carr Clough area, Paul Hitchen, Neil Firth (see them both at Longfield from time to time) Willy Hunt (now has a shop on Saville Row) Alan Tonge, Baz Swift, Paul Williams.
