Still in recovery mode from Lifeline,not been for awhile but won't be leaving it that long again as it was brilliant.Music & atmosphere were spot on just like a nighter should be.Record of the night for me was Ady's Ben E King-Getting To Me.........forgotten how good it sounds at a venue.

Todays tune will always remind me of the Ritz in the late 70t's,think it was played at The Casino as well???The memories a bit sketchy around that period..........not quite sure why Oscar Perry-Main String Perri-Tone Cheers Martyn

Joe Yes he was lead with the Foundations,not sure whether it was before CC or after?His real name was Chris Young. Info seems a bit thin on the ground? Cheers Martyn

Hi I've got a friend researching for an article about Joe E Young & The Toniks who had a couple of 45 releases & LP on UK Toast.Been down the usual google channels & found a few bits & bobs but nothing that substantial.So I was hoping that some on here may be able to help in some way?Any info would be most appreciated,thanks. Cheers Martyn (Mods....sorry if this is the wrong section,feel free to move the thread)

Bought a Contemplations as I think my blue copy is a boot?I also wanted the inst as it's brilliant & the only way to get it is on the Contemplations issue. Cheers Martyn
