Karen, I have been going to all-nighters since you were only 7 years old. More importantly kept on going year after year uptill the present date. I did cutback in the 80s when I got married and had kids, but I did not stop going! So I like many others (not all) that are in to modern soul, we have got our roots in northern soul. So yes at muti-room venues there should be a modern room, I am not into R & B but I'm not saying there shouldn't be a room for it just because I don't care for it. The trouble is like Alison said alot of the modern crowd don't do all-nighters anymore, so the back room at Radcliffe is ideal. I help run the modern nights for Malc at the barn which is a all-nighter, and it being a small venue it works! (Alison you forgot about the Barn). I tend not to stay to the end at nighters anymore, but if I'm enjoying myself and having a laugh I will stay. Dave.

It wasn;t the last day of the season. it was our last away game, and the day we won the league., winning 1-6 We still had Stoke at home to play, which ended 0-0

Them orange rubbers have a lot to answer for.

Got to agree with you it, it sounds ok to me. Than again I am going abit deaf but yeah it was ok with my ears. No I wouldn't know where to start to mix two songs together. Dave.

Cheers Phil. Looking at what Lou was wearing on photo, 96 seems about right.

Yeah, I enjoyed the times I spent there back end of 70s and into the very early 80s. Phil I remember going to one revival night in the 90s, no idea what year? I think it might have been around christmas time? Lou was with me on that night. Sorry, we can't come to the may reunion, as we are at Newquay Weekender.

It's quite funny that the Dunkenhalgh is gonna be used to stage the Ritz reunion in July.

Yes, Richard did the soul nights at the Half Way House, late 80s at a guess. I want to someone;s do at the Pines, early 80s, can't remember whose do it was. I think it was a 21st, or like someone said it could have been a wedding.

John, it was Gino's younger brother I can't remenmber his name.

One of my friends younger brother started buying records in the 90s. Anyway he ordered approx 50 records off Richard, so he arranged to pick them up. So the lad drives down to Richard's 100 mile drive, when he get there, I think it was Richard's dad opens the door and gives him the records. Not even asked infor a brew or f**k all, and Richard didn't evencome to the door to say hello. I pissed myself when I found out , would not expect anything else really.

:lol:

Only ever owned one, which I thought was genuine, the label was a goldie-brown colour not black. It was a track by Lonna King, forgot the title or even where I got it from. I do know that I sold it at Al-Brighton in the 90s.

Glyn, do they still make 10" discs? I honestly don't know.

Talking of posh ones, I can't belive I didn't post up.. Dunkenhalgh All-Dayer in the mid 70s in Accrington. They where a few of us that walked it there being in our own town. Another All-Dayer in Accrington was at The Spinning Jenny a year or two later.

A GREAT STORY, and also a sign of how times have changed. Dave.

Pete, you are 5 years younger than me, no idea how old Mike is? We did take the piss out of the people that bought pressings., deffo in 75. What I would not admit at the time is that I bought them myself only about 3 years earlier. Looking back now it was a age and leaning thing.

That part ot it is so true, a lot of the kids that live around where I live are depressed and don't enjoy life at all.

You are right about how old you where at the time. In 1974 I was 19 and that's when I got into buying original vinyl big time. When I was 13/14 just used to buy from local record shop, the new UK releases, Tamla Motown etc.

Julie I was agreeing with you. :thumbsup:

Yes Julie, that how it always been in the past, and with most people this year as well.

1 yes 2 yes 3 no Anybody willing to admit that they still like any of these records. I do my fav's where the Barbara Pennington tracks. LJ Johnson did a great reworking of "24 hours a day" on a 12" in 79 or 80.

Get that Danny White traded in for a nice pink demo to put with the others.
