    Rick - what about a dj who plays off an effing lap top ? I went to a local soul night years ago that's all he had, by passing the pressing and original record mob, What's next I'll stick my memory stick in I've got a whole set on here, in fact I can go to the bar buy a drink and dance to my own tunes - the future !!!

    Lived here over 14 years never seen a seal in the river Nene , watched it feed and come up with fish in its mouth - if you look in the second picture you can see Peterborough Cathedral (left hand side) in the back ground.

    Who was running this in 1975 - as the title has EASC - yet the address is 106 Wootten Ave Peterborough ?  was this a Ken Cox or a Paul D ? 

    I also notice Pauls name not on here :g:

    Uptown records where were they (I remember Andys records) and Mr Howards sounds like a KGB agent

    Who was Pete and Dave and Jonnhy (never seen it spelt like that)  just curios

    Stamford I think might have been Russ Towers, he was certainly DJ-ing there. 

    Before the Fleet PSc were running do's at The cresset (Bretton) c.81-82 I am not sure if these were Niters though or just evening do's? And I think PSC became DSC when Stuart Gordon ceased to be involved.

    Steve that was the key to the Peterborough Soul and Scooter crowds, they were a younger crowd the Knights Hall at the Cresset Bretton, Friday night, followed by the fleet all nighter on the Sat then coach down to St Ives all dayer on the Sunday - 16 - 18 year old speed feeding, crowd.

    In late 81 early 82 these were under the D&S Promotions - then when the first Soul nighter was put on at the Wirrina that was under the PSC - this was run by Dave Read and Wilcox and later by Stuart Gordon after he was released from prison - mid to late 82.

    PSC started 1982 at the Wirrina they did about 6 nighters there as EASC Ken Cox had the Fleet - 

    PSC clashed with EASC - That was Ken Coxs last night -PSC moved into the Fleet

    PSC - Started in 1982 after Wigan had shut, they wanted a more oldies style music rather than what was being played at EASC - Steve Gs right bully butler Inst first then fading in the vocal was a favourite - little bit hurts, green door, how can I forget, velvets, interplay, breakout , poor dog, anything that was 100mph remember this was a young adrenaline crowd 

    EASC - after st Ives 1977 Ken Cox moved the EASC venue to the Wirrina in about 1977/78 then EASC moved to the Fleet - which was a council run property up to 1982 when the ICA took over (brought it) Italian Community Association who still own it today.

    I remember DJing at that do in Stamford when a load of Peterborough's finest turned up. They damaged some cars in the car park, broke wing mirrors, scratched doors etc., then I saw Russ coming out the toilets with blood all over his face where he'd been chinned. I think we all ended up round Mick Cooper's flat afterwards. 

    Steve didn't know anything about the damage to property etc - hope the police were involved - I can understand slapping someone but damage to property is a no go.

    Record I brought off James on one of this hunting trips to London paid £2:50   1979

    St Ives alldayers also ran in the early 80s. 82-83 I think. Used to do the modern room there. I am trying to remember who promoted it at that time maybe zoom, smudge or someone can remember?  I don't think it was Ken Cox who was, by the way, still about a year or two ago and on FB posting UKIP type stuff on his page. Maybe one to contact Chalky? 

    Steve - Peterborough Soul Club did 2 all dayers at St Ives (wow shot myself in the foot there Steves poster says 5th all dayer so they would have been running all dayers for at least 6 - 8 months) - then got heat off of the local council - so they stopped .   Russ Towers later did evening dos there , his wife's mum at the time, was a councilor at st Ives, the plot thickens, that's why S Gordon hit him at The Newage Stamford soul do - there's a lesson in there some where.

    can anyone remember a lad called james? me think he use to be a regular at petebourgh all nighters, mid/late 70s. Use to come in early, straight to the centre of the dancefloor, plonk his carrier bag down, and coat. dance all night,3 or 4 times during the night, he use to sit in the middle of the floor eating bananas and get up and start dancing again, how bizare. im not to sure if he was called the banana man, or was i just imaging it? cheers Billy. Ps/ ill always remember Jonny Carole, top dancer.

    Billy there was s guy from Abbotts Ripton Huntington called James use to sell records walked around in a long trench coat pulling records behind him on a shopping trolley thing - got done for cattle rustling.  It was about 79 at the casino he was selling records and had string going through the centre first time I ever saw that Coz people kept nicking his records

    Officially - Peterborough Soul Club which was set up after Wigan had closed, started putting all nighters on at the Wirrina which was a box indoor 5 a side, I think they use to do roller disco there as well - venue. During the winter months the place was freezing even off your neck - so it was decided to clash with the EASC free night same date.   One thing the PSC had over the EASC was that the younger crowd had come up through various local Soul and Scooter Soul venues at Bretton , Orton, etc  additionally they knew that chewing gum which kept them awake was always on tap.

    I don't know what the support was at The Fleet that night - all I know is that Ken Cox decided that, that was the last night.

    Peterborough Soul Club took the fleet over I think till about 86ish when one of the guys got tugged for supplying stay awake chewing gum.

    The E.A.S.C.

    Who ran it? I presume Tony Clayton was involved.

    When did it begin life as a soul club and until when?

    What venues?  I know the Fleet in Peterborough was one.

    Ken Cox was EASC 

    I remember

    St Ives Cambs  75-77

    Wirrina - Peterborough 77-78

    Embankment - Bedford 78 (see Hammie)

    The Fleet - Peterborough 78-82

    He use to get DJs to sign contracts to only work for him - so when they DJed for other people they used different names , but the punters knew.

    Mr Coops is best for info on Ken Cox he use to come from Stamford , think he use to get a lift with Ken to do's.

    EASC - Ended in 1982 when the start of the Peterborough Soul Wars started 

    1982 - Peterborough Soul Club at the Wirrina clashed with EASC at The Fleet same night - Ken finished EASC - Peterborough Soul Club took the Fleet over 

    Tony Clayton brought Nev's records late 70ts and started Djing - he was also involved with Oddfellows

    There are so many convincing look-a-likes are being made that really look like the original records.

    Unless you are an expert and can hold the record in your hands, it can be very hard to tell the difference.

     Do you think that buyers will be losing confidence that any record is a real original, unless it is sold by a very reputable dealer?

     

    If I ever brought off someone say £100 plus and it was advertised as original etc etc , and when it arrived it was a snide copy, I would politely ask for a refund and send the record back - if not I would hunt him down and stab him - end of

    oooh..Jimmy Gresham...makes me drool just looking at it...when 's the last time you've seen one of them for sale

    ...absolute magic :yes:

    Jimmy Gersham

    As of October 2008, he is in his 16th year of incarceration in a United States Federal Prison. He is serving a 30-year sentence without chance of parole. Gresham was convicted for his involvement with a group of Marielitos that were sponsored out into his neighborhood in 1980 by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), following the Mariel Boat Lift. They were convicted of conspiracy to traffic cocaine. He was given the 30-year sentence in the same courthouse where, at the age of 18, he took the Navy oath. Jimmy Gresham was a first time and a non violent offender

     

    UPDATE ~ I'm delighted to say that Jimmy was released from jail on 21 Feb 2012 after many years inside. For the terrible story on why he was incarcerated please read the Wiki page
