i have to agree with you there kev,burnley did have its own sound. even if a lot of the sounds were known to some there were still a lot of people who hadn't heard them before.i think it wasn't just one thing that made burnley so special it was a combination of the dj's and the regulars all wanting to same thing,underplayed uptempo 6ts northern ,r'b & funky northern all night long,which dosen't suit everybody i know,but those it did loved it.
two records that spring to mind for me that were first broke at burnley are dewey black {first played by pottsy,then made big by cliff camfield} and strange i&tt
