Pink suit....don’t remember that nor being in RW’s shop.

I was with him on the night at the Casino in 1974. A great character, incredibly knowledgeable, extremely likable and discoverer of tremendous turntable hits back in the day. On that occasion though, he and organiser Russ Winstanley misjudged the audience and the launch of his instrumentals and other creations quite rightly didn’t work.

They were led by Marcel King and hailed from Manchester. My former production partner David Parton wrote the 2 major hits ‘Dreamer’ and ‘Coincidence’. He hails from Stoke on Trent.

Well not on the Niter scene until the Torch but Derek certainly had it along with Eddie Regan. He just wasn’t known as a ‘Northern’ DJ then. I remember mentioning it to Alan Day in fact.

The late Derek Allen may have been a contender. He had Eddie Regan and the Shakers in early 1972. Unless you went to his mobile discos though, you wouldn’t know. He didn’t engage with the full on Northern scene until much later

PM’d

Remember the small 45 isn’t a boot Genuine Columbia re-press from late 72

Let’s see if we can can add facts among the ‘speculation’ Geeselad responding to totally decent and sensible questions from Supercorsa. In turn answered by someone who was there 1. Thanks for the plug. 2. You weren’t there. Numbers were higher 3. Feb 17 4. You didn’t go.....hopefully our response clears up any mystery? 5. No......great answer. 6. Funny how the Kings Hall Stoke got singled out? Go figure. Thanks for deep interest in the All Nighter which has now run for 22 years. Heres the 2019 dates for advance planning: APRIL 6, JULY 27, OCT 5 Next up the All Dayer May 19

Shock Horror!

(Diane) Newby, previously on Kapp and (Larry) Johnson, formerly lead on the Del Royals ‘Man of Value for Mercury. The rhythm track was cut in Detroit using the expertise of Tony Camillo. Vocals were added in New York.

Damn! I spoke to him in March while in Nashville. Will call his industry colleague Frank Howard shortly. Awful news.

Linda?

The said disc went for £500

Lamont appears late Sunday(June 17) afternoon in the Blackpool Opera House with a music show and Exclusive Q&A.

Typical twaddle from Martin Dixon Firstly, the Weekender of Nov 10-12 was top notch with great DJs at a fantastic venue. The Strictly involvement has nothing to do with the NS promoters or even Tower management. The BBC film at the venue once a year. They have chosen to focus on Northern. That is their prerogative and I repeat zero to do with us When you have as many achievements as Richard and I, let me know, until then.........

I started as a resident on Saturday,September 30th 1973. Not sure of the date I left but January 1975 springs to mind. The first guest we worked with was Martin Ellis Richard Searling then joined in late 73 as the 3rd resident A variety of guests weaved in and out, most of which are well documented

Best Wishes

We don't make too many podcasts these days, but here's a useful and hopefully enjoyable snapshot of the last half century...musically. https://www.mixcloud.com/goldsoul/northern-soul-50-a-half-century-of-dance-floor-favourites/

He’s very aware of his fan base in Europe. I brought him to the UK in 06. Genuinely nice man who knows a fair bit about singing, acting and boxing

He didn’t see any future. He cut sides for Effie Smith’s Duo Disc but by the mid 60’s he was disillusioned. Eventually got into Sports promotion, in particular boxing. Great talent. Dear friend On a side note, you can just about see him in a white suit in the Eddy Murphy film ‘Coming To America’. Look for the Black Awareness church hall get together. He’s about 3 to the left of Eddie and Arsenio Hall

I spoke with Alex and James and hez(Brackett) did not record ‘Sometimes’. McEachin cut 3 sides with Capitol during one day at Vine St studios in 1966. Sometimes, No More Dreams, True Love I reunited them at SoultripUSA Los Angeles 2004

Not true. Firstly, the original master on Sandbag was owned by Mike Szymanski. He went out of business and Bob quite rightly 'followed his nose' to see if any royalties might have accrued. He ran into me and I not only promoted Eugene Thomas of the Epitome of Sound but led Bob to PRS/MCPS where a reasonable Out of royalties were laying untouched. Since then he has a few licensing deals under his belt and long may that continue. A perfect coming together of the U.K. Northern scene and and a rare obscure 45 with a positive outcome.
