Gaetanos Manchester
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.

I also still live in Swinton, remember the Pembroke halls and the Carousel, what about the Wishing well on Station road? and the Duke Of Wellington on the "top road".

Gaetanos Manchester
I don't remember Gaetanos, but do recall going to nights at the Blackbird Cafe, which was behind Debenhams, that too had a badly tiled floor. I think it was in a cellar.

Soul Dancing
Seen as we are talking about dancing and accidents, one Sunday at the Ritz alldayer sometime aroung 78, 79 (the dance floor used to be raised about 4 foot with wrought iron railings around it and steps to walk up, the dj box was on the left hand side of the stage near the balcony). A few of us were dancing near the steps on the left side of the stage, I proceeded to do a high jump and hit my head the corner of a metal exit sign and went down like a ton of bricks, blood everywhere, I went down to the toilets to look a the damage, and ended going to Salford Royal Hospital (as it was then) for stitches then back to the alldayer Peter

I seem to recover in the afternoon but am usually in bed by 9pm. recovered by Wednesday and ready to go again by Friday

Best Software For Making Flyers?
Hope this isn't "teaching you to suck eggs".....If using Photoshop for print, like deevee said set the resolution to 300dpi, turn on your rulers, then just measure out your flyer from an A4 sheet and set your pagesize up from there, then anything you do will be the correct size. When using text, set your text layer to smooth (the highest setting). If your not printing the flyer yourself save the file out as a jpg at the highest setting or as a tiff. HTH Peter
