  4. Saw her in Blackpool to and again a few weeks ago at the Jazz Cafe in Camden, where she mentioned that Blackpool gig. It obviously meant a lot to her do that show at that time .As I remember Rudy Robinson was due to back her, but he sadly died a few weeks prior. Her autobiography A woman Like Me is well worth reading but not for the faint hearted
  5. Having recently read the Bill Sykes book on Roger Eagle ,found it an interesting digest.. It is available on BBC iplayer or buy the book for the fuller story. Like others I was unware that it was to be broadcast, but happened to have the radio on whilst doing something else when it came on
  6. The club was La Duce in D'Arbley Street,off Poland Street opened in 1964. It is sometimes referred to as the gay version of The Scene Club, although the crowd was not exclusively gay.. The music was on a juke box and all soul and ska and bluebeat to. and unlicenced as far as i can remember.It carried on into the later sixties You still got guys in smart 3 button suits down there at that time. It attracted a gay skin crowd but after it closed , they moved to the Dorian Club in Chelsea. at the far end of the Kings Road. I remember hearing the Temptations Cloud 9 down at the Dorian for the first time I'm sure that they. had a dj rather a juke box but it was all soul and reggae .Also bumping into the girlfriend of a guy I worked with , who happened to be with her girl friend that night.
  7. You can register with The -Saleroom and bid live online, or just view the catalogue. I use The-Saleroom for buying stuff at auctions and its good, but you have to register a debit card to participate. This is the first time that I have seen a complete soul collection sold through an auction room.
  8. Just booked. Not to be missed Only a 350 capacity venue
  9. I understand that the plans for the redevelopment of London Road Fire Station have fallen through and may be now subject to a compulsory purchase order. This would be the ideal location for such a museum within any redvelopment, Whitworth Street being bookended by 2 iconic clubs, The Twisted Wheel and the Hacienda, and various other venues in between over the years. It could overcome the problems that Urbis had by building a permanent collection and perhaps including some sort of live venue. There is now a window of oportunity to acquire artefacts and stories from the musicians,club owners , promoters and fans of the past 50 years whilst they are still with us..
  10. This is the dominant style again at many nighters / weekenders. It still looks good when you past 50 and beyond. Over the past few years I've noticed more of the ladies wearing 60s style shift dresses, which again are classic and comfortable . Its a smart scene. For example at Wellingborough on Saturday or Bridlington weekender, shorts were worn in the day, but when the guys come back later for the evening sessions they had mostly changed into trousers or jeans.Its not compulsory .We all take it for granted, but go to other sorts of events and see what people find acceptable to wear when going out ,even a wedding reception.
  11. You mean bit like this? Crombie a cool £795.00
  12. The James Brown footage from this show is on you tube to.
  13. Anybody approached the Peoples Museum in manchester?
