Paul if you think Manifesto is the Daily Star of soul mags, what would that make Togetherness mag than?

I can't remember when the Griffin All-Nighter in Leeds was, was it the early 90s? There wasn't that many, I think I went to them all. It was there that I got back in touch with Gary Fields from Leeds.

I'm pretty sure Bryon Wakelin from Blackpool has it, he runs the Blackpool Mecca reunion dos. I don't know if he is on here.

You are not alone in thinking this, what is the mothers name?

Motown, what do I think, it's what 1st put me on this 40 year roller-coster ride known as the soul scene. Going back to when I was at school, I was round at one of my mates house playing my records (I did not own a Record Player at the time ) I used to buy what they where playing at youth club, school disco etc. When the girlfriend of my mate's older brother at looked the records, thats the night I was 1st told what soul music was. At the time I had no idea that alot of my records which where on Tamla Motown where soul records. So Christine Champ, wherever you are now it's your fault, thank you for starting me on the journey. Nothing more to say really. Dave. P.S. Paul say helo to your dad for me.

Pete & Steve, just looking back in my diary for something else, and come across this.... Kenny Thomas live at Bolton 22/12/06, it was a friday night. Yours Dave.

No Three house moves so far, no luck yet. It's raining here too.

James, it serves you right for multi-tasking. Eating and Reading at the same time.

The only that stands out is The Wilton 1st ann, the only reason it stands out because it was the 1st time I had been. I've been to a few 100 Club anns put the 1st time I went was not a ann. I only went to one ann at Wigan the 1st and it was no way near the best night I had there. I went to Morecambe a good few times, but no idea if any were anns.

I always had a soft spot for Thelma Houston's version of "I Ain't Going Nowhere" from her LP on Mowest. Talking of Mowest who could forget the two Wigan classics from Frankie Valli, "The Night" & "Touch the Rainchild"

My fav Marvelettes track "Your Love Can Save Me" from the LP Sophisticated Soul.

Dalton Boys & Debbie Dean both on V.I.P.

"There's a Ghost in my House"

Tim's fav. Steak & Kidney Puddings were made by Sucliffes, a Accrington Co. Sadly no longer with us, the factory used to be at the bottom of the street where my mum used to live. Tim used to buy them from the chippy around the corner from the Spinning Jenny.

C4 could so a tv series based on the well known 70s film "Come Play With Me"

Now as Webby said END OF STORY

Stevie Wonder Nothing to good for my baby Earl Van Dyke 6 by 6 Supremes I hear a symphony

When Manchester won the Commonweath Games, there was a big firework display at Salford Keys. We took the kids to watch it, after it finished, Michelle Gayle sang live on stage. I was very surpriced how good she was.

Mica Paris "6TH STREET" f++kin great British Artist, Jap LP, not a single but who cares when it is so good.

I agree. Linda's voice was so unique.

Or us old men going on about records we have sold.

Where else in the World, would you get a forum talking about Tim in Manifesto...... come to talking about "come dine with me" & C4 news? Pure Class

In real terms this is a record that as gone down in value. It used to sell for £4 in the late 70s. I still like it, it's a nice cheapy.

Hi Arthur, take it you are well. The Highwayman's Halt where was that, in East Yorks? I didn't know William Powell was one of yours. The 1st time I heard it, was when Sam played it at Wigan. Dave.
