* tries to raise slightest whimper of a laff at overused retort

...on Facebook. I really don't see the point. Don't get me wrong I'm a member of a few and have had my own in the past, I also understand that many people are happy to be a part of them.... ...but...surely after a while you realise that....you end with a Casinelli's group that ends up posting the same as a Mecca group that ends up posting the same as a Wigan group. They all...and I mean all...end up posting a stream of overplayed, overheard classics...,if I see fecking Moody Woman roll down my feed with the reply 'Ace!' one more time , I'm relocating.

That's what I like though, it's kinda nice to be immersed in the good and the odd of the 60's for an hour or so.

Shoulda known that unmistakeable piano - thanks fella.

What was the Ramsey Lewis-esque inst played just before the 9 o clock news?

October Andy.

Just seen this on FB - apologies if already on here: Keni Burke 'LIVE' in St. Helens, WA10 ... Sunday October 19th 7.30pm-12.30am, Chalon Court Hotel plus supporting classic/modern soul disco

I recently picked up a Van Dykes SMLFARD issue in great nick for £25, the lad had it listed as the Van Dyes.

Went into Manchester last night to Gorilla to see St Paul & The Broken Bones, a seven piece from Birmingham Alabama. The influence from Muscle Shoals, Stax is clearly evident, big bold and brassy. Lead singer St Paul is a slightly chubby Alan Carr lookalike with a voice that could split wood, stark and soulful....he could have been a comedian as it goes, funny guy. Well worth checking out. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10152601448442200&l=184760398330294215

Eddie Levert @ 2014 The Allstate Tom Joyner Family Reunion: ...had to post these pics - looking well the lad ay?

Morning Harry - don't know a show quite like it...informative as sin too.

Really enjoy the Sat am show - Dr Goldfoot & The Bikini Machine - weird lyric but what a tune

Ay oop Geoffrey - hope all's well old son.

Me and Rich Francis did an interview/photo shoot last Sunday for a London publication done by a group of young London kids and aimed at the fashions of the NS scene bitd. We had pre-warned them that we were babies on the scene in 1980 and if they needed to talk to the laymans idea of a Soulie and what they wore then to centre their attentions on the 55+ lads...they still came anyhow. Great people and they knew what they were doing with the camera's etc but didn't seem to have done a great deal of homework on the scene but as they were only around 20 - 22, what do you do, it's quite convoluted ay?. They took shots of memberships, posters etc but got heavily fixated with me old long leather, last worn 1980...I ended up in a field in a Burtons shop window pose with it on....kinda dreading what comes out

I KNOOOOOW!! I never use the buggers - just bent in a moment of ale-infused madness. I've had that record longer than most of me mates too - like losing a dog

I know, I know....a bit drunk I was

...and you know how? I don't use solid middles, I square them up (?) with me thumb and finger - one of the lads barracked me for not using a centre, so I did...and snapped the bastid when I pulled it off...double :facepalm:

..me Vibrations CYM demo in the bar on Saturday - ouch!!

I now want one....so I'll add it to the list of 'Not Getting One'

I bought this from Ames Records late 70's when they had little NS sections - 7 Dwarves, Bobby Diamond etc etc - it is a different take but has dimples all over it so jumped toward the back end.

That would be great mate. A lost night for me there, no pics or anything.

I went - it's just I've never come across any photographs of the night, would love to see some, we met him backstage....got him to sign this...

To save me an hours digging, does anyone know if there are any on the site of Chuck's appearance at Morecambe? Cheers
