My Sugar Baby by Connie Clark.....just love the words to it.... susan x

Lots and lots of people were asked...it was a general subject on the internet....pete and I applied and they phoned us back. filming went on for weeks....we had loads of fun and made alot of friends including some of the cast. Pete and some of his mates did a photo shoot outside for the local papers.... all again good fun... the directors and producers and their teams were very friendly( and very patient with us untrained crowd LOL) we and many others were asked back several times for different shots.....it was filmed over several months....which we enjoyed doing very much, and for the fun and new friends we made we have no regrets whatsoever....same as any film, you like it or you dont....not hard is it? lol And yes it is true that to try to re create something that happened is very hard....but only those of us who attended the casino can ever be the true judges of that i guess? ktf susan

What is it with you Mr.Sado just because you think you are some kind of Writer /director /producer, or whatever you dream to be .... just because you wrote a play, which i aggree was very succsesful, you think nothing can ever be done again without your seal of approval....you think your word is sacred....whats up ? jealous cause you were not "consulted" ?......as a matter of fact we saw the version in Bolton of your play which you said was "crap"....but had standing ovations .... yes people probably WILL like this film....me being one of them........ Just give it a chance.........you are entitled to your oppinion.....but as always ,....always so negative.. difference is Mr Sado,your just a number,a minority, and because of your constant negativity and whining on, who gives a f..k what you think anymore...cos it's always the same, same , same... your just a pain in the arse with your "over zealous Criticism and your comments are becoming boring..... you must be so miserable... ......

I do have to agree with you Brian,if someone starts a new trend,as you yourself did,its bound to catch on at some point. However, the leg pockets on mine(from C&A) were slightly larger than yours,more like what you would get on army trousers....the ones on your trousers are alot nicer... I too like individuality.Theres a young lady and her friend on another thread somewhere on soul source who had a 4panel two colour skirt,I had a 6 panel two colour skirt. fashion statements were a big thing in those days especially on the scene.(alot seemed to be focused on jacket vents,jacket pockets and pocket flaps on the baggies). well you look great on your pic,do you have any others in your soul stuff we could have a look at? KTF Susan (Mrs Casper) PS. Love the cap

I would have to ask my dad if he has any of the photos up in his attic.there may be some up there i don't know....its been years since anyones been up there ! you never know,might even find some soulie stuff tucked away KTF Susan

I remember going to wigan and being "floated" in. It was so packed when paying in ,i was moved along with a group of people ,bag on my head,my feet weren't even on the ground!then when you went through the doors at the top of the stairs,the heat hit you....the smell of sweat, "Brut "and "Hai karate" hit the nasal receptors like a tidal wave.....but well worth it KTF Susan

Alot of soulies wore trousers with the pockets on the side. alot of highstreet shops sold them. we used to get them from C and A they were called Birmingham bags. I had a black pair ,a beige pair and a pale grey pair....and they were high waisters.(they cost something between £8-£10 if i remember right) 90% of soulies who wore baggies had these when they came out and they were very popular at the time. even "historians" learn something new every day ! LOL KTF susan

What a lovely photo....wish i still had some photos like those...lost through the years tho. found one of me in my soul stuff at drayton manor park,and ive got a passport size pic what my mum had....but thats about it. ktf susan

For me after local do's dayers etc etc my first niter was Samanthas, Sheffield 73.........for Susan, Nottingham Palais 76 as a mere slip of a lass ...what was the first record as you went in....?....not a clue, can't even remember last nite LOL Pete n' Susan KTF

got one of those passport pics somewhere,but only shows top bit of coat!! i will look for it and maybe my better half will put it on here. ktf susan x

I had two, a black one and a brown one...my dad bought them,one was a birthday present (1975)and the other when i started my first job when i left school(1978) I still wear one for souling 30 odd years later,(not from my original two tho,lol....apart from being worn out by now....they wouldnt fit anyway....not as "svelt like" as i used to be) KTF Susan(mrs Casper)

R.I.P. Willie ...... stompin to your tunes this weekend as ever.....your music and memory will live on......God bless .. pete n' susan KTF
