Hi Kev There's a thread started today about how "we" got into the scene - have a look there mate. I think you'll find many many differing answers!!

Yes that was a great do. I work in Loughborough - the town hall has been done up - not sure that the dance floor is still there! :angry:

Got into it 31 years ago. Lived in Mablethorpe, Lincs - a right sh*t hole and the soul scene became my - and a few others escape. Met Scotty - who used to come down to Mablethorpe with a mate from donny - forgot his mates name - I think he may have passed away. Anyway went to a couple of Dave Raistricks do's at Orchard House then started going to all nighters. Did Derby Aseembly Rooms, Birmigham etc. Lincoln Drill Hall not a favourite place of mine - although the Lincoln crowd were great. Then went onto Wigan, Clifton Hall, Cleethorpes etc. Stopped going for a bit late 80's - started up again and now am an infrequent visitor to do's - especially all nighters.

Slab Bloody Square! Do you know how much the local authority has wasted on the new look square. Those bloody slabs are expensive pieces of imported Chinese stone!!

Just get yerself onto Parliament Street and ask someone for Hurts Yard. You could ask one of the pretty Community Support Officers!

Now then It is Stars abd Stripes. It's at Hucknall - about five miles out of the city. It's Dave Raistricks shop from Skeg. Have a look on his website for number - Stars and Stripes. It's opening hours are very limited.

Pete Thanks for this. I can't seem to download the file properly - apparently I have a codec missing. Did you compress the file with anything odd? Sorry if that seems a stupid question - I ain't great on IT.

Look forward to that Pete. Cheers

[quote name='Sean Hampsey' date='Feb 15 2007, 01:07 PM' post='437406'] Phillip Mitchell song, Peter, done to even better effect (IMO) by Bobby Womack on the "Home Is Where The Heart Is" LP. Sean [/quote]Thanks Sean - I;ll look out for the Bobby Womack version.

Not heard this before - really, really like it! Cheers

Gia Mateo - If you cant say anything nice about me. I reckon that would be 1979 Love the Gia Mateo track - haven't heard it played for years.

11 Destiny demos - a mixed bunch. Pound each at the Cattle Market.

Thanks for this Pete. Real Searling quality - playing some great, great tracks. Peter

Sean - I only heard this last week. I think it's a wicked a track - obviously many others agree. Is it difficult to find? Peter

Veggie Dodger! Thats not healthy mate!

Errrr! Probably.

I was "casing the joint" the other Saturday. The Chandeliers - I know I can;t spell, seemed a good bet. Can't help but think of that episode of Fools and Horses though! I think I must know you Coxy?

Go on - you know you want that corner unit!

After thirty odd years on the scene - gimme the vinyl - give it to me now, all of it! The deal has to be of course that the vinyl just keeps coming.

Hi Steve So it's finally happened. Some wicked memories of the Winter Gardens - including your fifteen years, and many years before that. I met one of my finest ever girl friends there! Some of the best days of my life. Thanks for all the stuff you put on - I share some of your music tastes. Try and keep the membership going in readiness for the next venue. Cheers Mate. Peter

Aha! Found the blighter!

Cheers Dodger Err, I'm obviously missing something here! I've read the first post - fairly carefully. I've followed the link - but it isn;t recognised! Balderdash!

My ignorance knows no bounds! I can find the My Space site - and have searched for the name - but all I find is other peoples pages with references to Levine. I can't find his page!!

Hi Everyone I can't seem to find Mr Levines My Space page - the link above doesn;t seem to work and I;d be interested to have a read. Help anyone? Peter

Yep - Gill Blanding! Now these two cracking tunes that you don;t hear much these days - Rules and Silent Treatment. Did it also have that wonderful sam track included - Blue Sharks - These Things Will keep Me Loving you?>
