Brenda Holloway - just look what you've done / starting the hurt all over again .

Was only talking to him Saturday night at Haydock. true gentleman and had so great length talks with Jimmy over the years. Rest in peace mate

Most allnighters didn't open till midnight when I first started going no beer at all on sale so if you wanted to be able to last allnight and then travel home drugs where part and parcel of the scene back then and plenty still at it today. Didn't go to Wigan to young but that originally opened at 2am and people travelled there from all over uk and then home 99% smash off there nuts and the thought of mums Sunday dinner

Criag funeral details for those he would like to pay the last respect .

Here a picture of Craig and his partner in crime Winsford ste Smith. Two of the best people I've ever meet on the scene . RIP Craig gone but never forgotten

I Knew Craig since central pier days morecambe and were great friends since. Can't believe that he has departed as was only out with him 2week ago and looked in fine health. Heart goes out to jayne and sons Ellis, Joab and Daughter Darcie and all the grandkids. One of the greatest dancers ever to grace dance floors . Sleep well brother till we meet again

Thought it was good in parts but thought dustbin Stanley was shocking and mentioning everyone else but Richard was very petty from russ but there plenty of bad feelings still to this day with them since the last night at the casino the extra one they did. Richard booked Tiffany's in Wigan and Richard had lots of threats I've been told by reliable source and didn't even know about the extra casino night as was on holiday and got barred and wasn't allowed in the casino for the last ever allnighter at casino. In my opinion Richard was only trying to keep the scene moving after the casino was finished and russ pulled in heavys in on Richard. That's why they never spoke since I wouldn't blame him.didnt go to Wigan but the records like the theme from Joe 90 and the likes were shocking records . Was strange he mentioned soft cells version he got of Marc almond and said it was a WOW MOMENT. Russ did a free soul night in morecambe pub and only got 20 people to attend and then was booked for a event at kanteena in Lancaster but got cancelled due to lack of interest. Speaks volumes about the records he still plays as for Richard the set he did at the alambra morecambe pier anniversary in April was excellent

Manship just got a proper copy coming up for auction I think 1

My mate just picked it up for £25 it's been played a few times over the years by a few djs but still not a bad record .

Greg perry - it takes heart

Personal think that people like John Anderson has to be mentioned as there ain't many djs haven't got a record that came through soul bowl. Without John and the likes of Tim Brown and John manship the scene wouldn't be what it is today in my honest opinion. Need to be taken into account as well as the djs taste and balls to play new records records. Personal know a few djs that still cover up records and agree with micks comment to many variables to just name one dj. Richard searling in his day has to be up there with the rest .

Think these soul nights seems to be run by people who all want to be djs these days and are very soulless some of them. Paying silly money for over priced oldies and all casino classics the majority. Nothing against oldies or people wanting to dj what I do mind is they can't put the records together to get a flow to there sets and more about price tags and look what I've got. Only a few genuine venues that play to the dancefloor and keeping it busy. You only have to look at the events page to see how many venues there is these days it's unreal in my honest opinion.
