Brav

Hi Ady & Mags Many thanks for your support and hope everything goes well over the next few months.

Hi Gloria. What a great Team name, STAX OF POWER. As for the CD player, thats a NO NO as we only Play Vinyl in our Car

For me it has to be Landslide - Tony Clarke what a great intro ! Made a mistake, did'nt see (but you don't like the tune overall) underneath, because i do like it all the way thru.

Hi All We need a Team Name for our venture to Scandinavia and want it to be Northern Soul based. Anyone out there got any idea's ? the funnier the better. If we get a good response i will do a Poll on them so that Soul Sourcer decide.

Hi All Have just updated my website with a small profile of our team members. Just to give you some idea of who we are. Check it out at www.brav.co.uk

No problems with the CD's mate, these are the one's i am doing at the moment and they really do look like vinyl records. Just let mr know how many you want and what tracks you want.

Hi Kev Many thanks mate. I think its a great idea to have vinyl flyers on our car, thanks to Andrew from an earlier post. Let me know if you need any help with your Charity Birthday bash.

Hi Andrew Thanks for your support and what a great idea. So promoters out there are you interested, please e-mail me if you are at steve_bratherton@hotmail.com

Hi mate you could be right about the big man as not sure if it will hold together. Take a look at these Photo's to see the state it is in.

Cheers Kev Believe me you would not want a lift in this Triumph, its a bit rough inside mate.

Hi All We are a team of 3 Northern Soulies in our 50ts who have been life long friends, Thats me Steve Bratherton (Brav), Andrew Norburn & Austen Jones (Aussie). We are embarking on a Car Banger Rally to Scandinavia and back, some 4000 miles in a car that cost less than £100 pounds with 100 other teams who have the same £100 restrictive budget. It all sounds a bit crazy, well it is and that's the whole point ! will we make it ! who knows. Our car is a 1971 Triumph 2000 rescued from a scrap yard and has already competed in one event to Rome and back in 2006 raising £6000 for Cancer Research. I say Rome and back but it did'nt make it all the way back as the rear Subframe broke in half due to corrosion. It has now been Repaired and is ready to rumble again.. Some of you out there may have seen the car parked at venues up and down the country and believe me, it does attract attention. Anyway to get to the point we are looking for Businesses to sponsor us, in return your company Logo will be put on our car which is fantastic advertising for your company. I would like to point out that the cost of the car, petrol, hotels, ferries and anything else you can think of, comes out of our own pockets, so that all the money you donate goes to Cancer Research. If you have a company and are interested please e-mail me at steve_bratherton@hotmail.com or you can PM me. I also have a website with more info at www.brav.co.uk or if you just want to make a donation no matter how small, go to www.justgiving.com/brav Please note that full details of the rally are not available at the moment but should be within the next 2 weeks. To the Mods !!! sorry for posting in all about soul but wanted maximum publicity. Pictures of our car below are with sponsorship from 2006.

A fantastic statement from a 27 year old

Well said Paul, it was the same for me but being 6' 2'' wasn't a problem for me getting in anywhere. But i do remember having to go to the Toilets at Wigan in 2s otherwise you came out with no money or even your Denim Jacket, It was a frightening time when your 16. So pleased its not like that now on our scene for our younger generation.

Here's one from Cilla Black cilla_black_Just_like_a_YoYo.mp3

Ace Cannon, Sea cruise. now thats a long lost blast from Wigan.

Nail on head

Just under 2 hours to go and well worth a listen

Can anyone help me with her e-mail address as the one on her website is a dead address.

Keith Minshull would be a good choice for me

Cheers Charlie and see you soon mate

Just a quick reminder as its on now

Hi All If anyone is stuck with how to donate to Charity you could try this for Cancer Research. It will take you about 2 mins with a Debit/Credit card and 28% will be added free with your tax back. https://www.justgiving.com/brav

Just a quick reminder as its on again in an hour

Hi All Just thought i would let you now about a new radio station. Big Al is now on live with his own show every thursday night from 8 til 10. Just click here www.cheshirefm.com and navigate your way down the left hand side of the page for a live feed. Big Al is a well known Dj in the northern soul circles around Cheshire.

Sorry everyone the poll will not work as it expects one vote in each section so will have to close
