Hi M12 OKEH, I think we (Moz, Nigel Bown & Myself) had only about 6 or 7 nights at the Wayfarer, It was just to test the water like the couple we did in Stafford and Keys Park, It was during the period where the AQUA (Cannock) was a last Friday of the month event. I am pretty useless at names but I can recall faces & record labels quite well, so if we have met before 'hello again'. Yep my current car is an 'S' Roadster and I actually live In Loggerheads I put "just outside Eccleshall" as I made an assumption that people from Telford would know that that was. Best David

Bobby Hutton All Sorted Thanks

Hi, I only lived in Telford for 6 years between 1997 and 2003 but I worked there for 37 years and my wife Janice (born in Telford) were regular attendees at Ian and Annes Shifnal Soul Night and at John's (Esher) 86 club. In the early 70's I occasionally ventured to the 7 Stars (Ketly), Terry Heaths and there was a pub somewhere in Wellington but I cannot remember its name (getting on a bit now), buying the odd US 45 from ADC in Tan bank (?). I was resident DJ (not very good) with Wit (we also supplied decks & PA for a long time) at the 86 Club at both Bridgenorth (sweatbox) and the Naughty Will. I also Dj'd for Ian at Shifnal, unfortunately I only have the two fliers (attached) left for the 86 Club, somewhere I have a Shifnal flyer but cannot put my hands on it at the moment. I used to attend Shifnal with Janice, Wit and his then wife Beverly (whitchurch), Tony Haftwoyac (TC) and his wife Barbara (Telford) and first meet Nigel Brown (Stafford) and Andy Peake (Wolverhampton) down there. I know Phil & Joy used to attend both venues, I met them earlier at the Raven (Prees Heath) 1st time round when Soul Sam was DJ'ing a on Friday Night (all evening) for Tony Petherbridge !!!, Derm, Jackie & Karen (Wolverhampton) recently met them at Lea Hall , I know a lot of faces but names always elude me. I currently live just outside Eccleshall and hope to see you around, if you know me just say hello. Best David

Lin, Others were very sad ,I'll never forget the night we lost TC ..the poignancy of Lens wonderful tribute remains with me physically and in my heart ..how I got through reading it that night ,I'll never know , you could have heard a pin drop in that room on that night , Barbara's beautiful face hurting like hell and bursting with pride all at the same time ,I've never felt so much love and I know implicitly he was there ..so tragic a waste ..and to this day I still can't listen to "I've Had it" without breaking my heart I have your Lea Manor 'live' tribute to TC on MP3, I recorded it on the night, it is very emotional and after all these years I have never played it until today! I always ended my DJ spots with George Smith but after Tony's death I never played it again (home or out) and when I sold all my US 45's (2003 ish) the only one I kept was George Smith because of memories of my old buddy TC. I can post the Mp3 or I can email it direct to you. It's your shout. Best, Now weepy Spook (David Richards)

Thanks for your comments and info gents !! Best Spook

Hi all, I do not know much about the Sounds South Logo. Every copy of the this Tams 45 I have seen has been yellow (there are two currently on E**y from seller 'JeffWaller', I think he has a box full as he is selling them off slowly) see below. Anyway I have managed to pick up a Red copy (see below) can anybody shed any light on either? All I know is it was released for the beach scene in 1978 and it has a 'disco version' of Hey Girl on the B side. If anybody is interested in hearing it I can put it into Refosoul or attach an MP3. TIA Spook

I've Changed my Display name from Turntable now, so maybe that will help some of you. Below should be some photos of the Central i.e Top of The Stairs (TOS) Circa 1999. Luckily I'm not in them cos I took them They are: Martin Bradley (currently USOS) with Mr Edwin Starr and partner (can't remember if they were married) Janice getting "I Have Faith in You" signed by Edwin Bob Turner and Edwin Starr with the signed shirt Edwin handing the shirt to the winner with "Morris James" (originator TOS) in the background with the microphone. Best Spook

Daz, You must have learn't something from Nige and me !!! Cos you used to spend a lot of time on stage watchin the 45's being played I must change my avator from turntable (George Smith) Spook

There's Pirate Pete !!!!

Ted, I have not forgotten, I've sorted a mixer out. Its getting all the info into an email that's taking the time. I'll pm you the mixer info . Best Spook

Hi, A couple of mixed flyers from the AQUA including a DJ running order from 2001, and Nigel Brown & myself. David

A Couple of Flyers from the Central "Top of The Stairs" circa 1989 ish inc map !! Hope this works. Best David :

In my option, Hissing at the start usually indicates needle burn. Which happens when DJ's wind back and forward the 45 to cue up the start. The damage is done if the tracking or weight on the Cartridge / Arm is wrong. That is why a lot of DJ's don't cue up records to save damage on decks they do not know, and usually talk over the gap at the start, or you get silence. I stopped cueing up after I damaged a Bobby Hutton Come See About me. So If your Blue issue hisses it was mine years ago. Best David
