the union was one of my fav places.mick has moved it from one place to another,he moved it to TBI and to me it went a little sour,plus cos people know i collect records i got sick of people say "have you got this, that, the other,bet you aint got one of these" used to do me head in.but thats another story.ANNESLEY well yeah i like,been going there from the start more or less.i'll be there in the afternoon
i know pete and steve very well.they know my feelings on what ive said about the scene and agree to most of it.will be interesting to see what gets played...mick h...kenney burrell.im not sure but i think one of them isnt on.shall be interesting anyhow.as you may know the notts scene is flooded with venues and they are all doing the same thing WHY! all this b&*(@:ks they talk about like "wigan classics" most of them nevevr went i bet.i dont really care where it was played,who played it first dont care.AWSWORTH was good in the early days when andy & deb riley ran it along with derek allen but no one went because people said they played rare and obscure stuff..if people had gone they would have heard some great soul music.same with BOAT & HORSES that andy and deb ran..same response..these places wasnt rare and obscure they played good solid soul.....people are too ignorant and too narrow minded....and these are the same people who dance to things like pat & the blenders and oxford nights...if they had come to these dos years ago they would have heard them way b4 now.anyway could go on forever.i shall be at annesley,there all day so shall be bit drunk by the end of the night.if your there i shall say hello,you will know how i am
