Just flicking threw some old B&S' from '74 and found the full page Va Va's adverts they ran. At the bottom of the advert is the legend: "Trendy Weddings Catered For" Did anyone ever attend a Va Va's 'Trendy Wedding' function?

I believe old Derek managed to make contact too!?

Still have the Direct Current Glyn?

You can tell 'Benidorm's on can't you?

Bob on. I've said it before and I'll say it again, since the record shop as an entity went tits up and the internet took over, the whole forum of selling music has entered the grey market. You wrote a song and you produced a track at a studio - you paid the studio and the engineer. You then took your finished product mastering and for press - you paid for that service. You sold your finished vinyl to a distributor for x price - you covered your costs maybe; Who sold it onto a record shop for Y price - who covered their costs maybe; Who sold the finished product to us, the punter for Z price - who had a fully paid up and finished article to show for it. The track got exposure on radio, or later on in the industry got a PRS payment or equivalent, either way something was given in return. Chain finished, calculable and everyone was happy - and more to the point, everyone got paid. Not so anymore.

Genius!!

Just had a call from Yogi Haughton wanting an issue; if anyone out there has, I'll point him your way. Could you pm me your telephone number please? Cheers

Tea anyone?

By 'WE', I guess you mean people who attend NS venues or call themselves into NS?

Here's somewhere for your memories of Chris to be passed on: https://www.lastingtr.../savory/3144902

Many a true word said in yer vest.

Cracking post and answers chaps.

Just for you Tony: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uwhxxb9zmpI

The Love Sitars - Paint It Black Stevie Wonder - Superstition Skull Snaps - My Hang Up Is You Jay & The Techniques - Apple, Peaches, Pumpkin Pie

It drew tears out of me.

Watch this:

This blurb is probably what put light to the candle:

I'll quote Perry himself on the character Megg Kenneth: I should have said he looks like a bit of a paedo then. Apologies, my bad.

You should post more often mate.

Nice story.

Christ, the nearest to stardom us Warrington lot get is when Ste Arnold (Ashley out of Corrie) pops in the bar for a pint or Kerry Katona falls out of it.

Other possible TV Soul Boys/Girls: Rodders - (Only Fools) - Likes proper Norvern. Has loads of boots but does own an issue of Dean Parrish that he coverts. Del gave it him one Xmas Godber - (Porridge) - 6T's lover. Grouty feeds his addiction smuggling 7s in, in the wash baskets and swapping 'em up for snout that Fletch wangles for him. Gavin - (The Cuckoo Waltz) - loves to smooth women over his Spag Bol whilst playing them some bouncy Seventies soul. Fave track 'Love Is Serious Business'. TC - (Magnum P.I.) - serious collector, loves his Shrine. Baldrick - (Blackadder) - loves his 12th century Moderneth Souleth. Had a Hotbox but Edmund swapped it to Missus Miggins (Sam in a wig) for a pie. Emma Peel - (The Avengers) - Invented the talc on the floor at all nighters. She used it to squeeze into her leather cat suit before hitting the floor. Yosser Hughes - (Boys From The Blackstuff) - strangely, no one ever argued over vinyl prices with Yosser. Any more?

Ray Burdis who gets a mention in the paper clipping has a little (vague ) soul/mod connection by the fact that he played in another thing that I used to watch after school in the mid 70's called 'Four Idle Hands' with Phil Daniels. Same old story, two lads just finished school and looking for work - the script writers were a bit narrow back then wern't they?

Errrr....

A belting read that, well found.
