    I've bought more this year so far than I have in the last three. It's been driven by the impending reduction in income due to retirement! Can't quite seem to put the brakes on yet....

    And the wonderful kids at work made this for me (with the help of a professional artist - on Facebook as Smashed Hits: Broken vinyl artwork.). No decent records were harmed in its construction.

    Cake made for my retirement. My former colleagues know me well....Tasted lovely too!

    I saw Gil many times in the 80's. He was, without a doubt, one of the most consistently good live performers I have ever seen. I had the privilege to see him not long before he died at Manchester Opera house on his I'm New Hear tour. Though clearly unwell, he was fantastic. His between songs patter was back at his laconic, humorous best and though his voice was a wee bit gravelly, it was a joy to hear him perform again. Gil's lost years were a loss for everyone who loves great music. Thanks Peter for sharing this and reminding me of the great man.

    Only Smokey could've made this work: You only filled me with despairBy showing love that wasn't thereJust like the desert shows a thirsty manA green oasis where there's only sandYou lured me into something I should have dodgedThe love I saw in you was just a mirage

    I've not watched it. Never seen strictly before; why would I start now? As is my entitlement in the modern idiom, I reserve my right to be outraged and devastated anyway. Also to blame promoters who had sod all to do with it....

    Chuck for me, smooth, rich, full sounding vocals as always.

    Best wishes for a speedy recovery Dean.

    Les Hare's shop, King Bee Records in Chorlton is a proper digger's delight. They have a website too if you're too far for a visit. https://www.kingbeerecords.co.uk/kingbee_records_northern_soul.htm

    Brilliant set Pete! Dean Courtney is a thing of great beauty. You must be well chuffed to have it back.

    The Queen's turntable from the Royal Yacht Britannia. There was a big crate of 45's too - honest.

    Thanks Chalky, the videos are absolutely great. In yours, the mike stands obscure the fact that she gave us all the finger when she realised that we were all recording her doing the chicken. She was in big trouble....
  16. Soulfinger
    I was there too and echo every word of Chalky's review. They were simply outstanding! Don't miss an opportunity to see this bunch of highly talented kids. The little lass has a fantastic voice. My daughter was up on the stage doing the Funky Chicken and she, my lad, my wife, my mate and his daughter all agreed it was the best live show we've seen for some time.

    My wee girl doing the Funky Chicken with the Stax Music Academy at the Band on the Wall. The future of great live music is secure in the hands of those kids.

    No birds in the bird sanctuary in Portugal last week, but these fellas were in plentiful supply at the murky end of the lagoon.

    I also used to tune in to Peel for 15 minutes or so just to see what weird crap he was playing, He would very, very occasionally play something soulful. I remember him playing Don't Think That I am a Violent Guy - Garland Green and Do You Hear Me Baby, Is Your Phone Line Clear - Frankie Vance in close order. Figured Kent had sent him a freebie. Met him at an Eddie Floyd gig in the 80's so he must have had some interest. No clue on the artist......

    Old age ain't nothin' but a matter of time!

    I didn't mean washing up liquid, I'm dredging it up from somewhere, but I vaguely remember successfully cleaning some particularly filthy car boot finds with some kitchen cleaning product you recommended. I'd tried the PVA glue thing without success. I thought it was fairy but maybe not.
  22. Soulfinger
    Did they stop making that Fairy stuff you used to recommend Pete?

    Creative approach taken to giving the Ritz Hotel some grief.

    As an English type, I am very frustrated that there appears to be no way for me to buy these yet! Is "ow Great Thou Art by Kim Weston" an old Yorkshire song?
  25. Soulfinger
    There is. I'm not the only Kent completist around here.
