OMG that's a proper time machine track for me too, but for all the wrong reasons. May 84, I was 16, on a first date, soul night at the Rose & Crown in Wandsworth - loved that tune and danced to it before leaving on the back of his lammy, along with my best friend Steph on the back of our friend Jimo's. On the way home I turned round to see if they were following, only to see a car run a red light and smash into them broadside. Broke their legs but they survived thank God. Can't hear that record without seeing it over and over in my head. Not keen on riding pillion even to this day. On a happier note, the Supremes' Stormy takes me straight back to the Spring of 2000 and my first weekend with Justin, now my husband. If there is such thing as a perfect weekend, that was it - sun, soul, sex & Stormy . On the way home from a fabulous day in Brighton, he kept replaying that track over and over in the car for an hour because he loved it. I remember floating into work on the Monday morning, the girls asking how the weekend went, and me telling them to get down the hat shop...

I'll be secretary if I can have a special outfit to wear Our first meeting can be at the King Lud in August. Or maybe we can have our own tent at Hipshaker...

I went to the thing at the Elephant with Godfrey from Brixton who I was seeing at the time - do you remember him Ady? Possibly the only 100 Club regular trying to combine maintaining his afro with wearing a crash helmet as he was in the Titans SC . I can even remember what I wore, but not for the life of me what the do was called.

I'm sure I remember that one, and at that time I was mostly in London. Was it something to do with Sean McCluskey and/or Ion Tsakalis? There were some warehouse-style nighters around that time at Elephant & Castle.

I didn't know, until I went to see Jersey Boys last year, that 'Bye Bye Baby (Baby Goodbye)' which I had loved as a 7 year old at the height of Rollermania in 1975, was originally by The Four Seasons. Everyone else there knew except me...

Aww, nice tunes, sounds like twas a cracker. To follow on from my earlier post, we made 100 CDs with our tunes on for all the guests, and printed the lyrics inside together with the reading from our service so that the relatives and non-soulies would understand where we were coming from. Also was lovely to give to those who couldn't be there with us on the day. Several cousins said they were still playing it constantly on their car CD players months later... Justin's Mam was travelling down from Morecambe for the wedding (he's her only child), and she got stuck behind a massive pile-up on the M6, and sat sobbing in the ensuing traffic for over 7 hours, so missed the wedding completely. We had to recreate the whole thing for her, so CD came in very handy again! T x
