    Thoroughly enjoyable way to spend a Sunday. I knew it was going to be good day when I walked through the door and Tez Howarth was playing Corey Blake, then one great tune after another, including the top modern track by Raphael Saadiq “Love That Girl”.

    Glyn Handforth was up next, a great set including The Soul Communicators and Papa Bear. So much for quiet Sunday, straight onto the dance floor.

    Geof Swallow, played some good R&B tracks with some real gems thrown in, Ruby Sherry the stand out.

    Taz kept the ball rolling with tunes from the top table: Soul Brothers inc, Bobby Valentin….

    Next up, the man himself Ted Massey with a selection guaranteed to fill the dance floor: William Powell, The Admirations, J. T Parker….

    Ian Levine made a rare trip North and a return to the decks.

    A smorgasbord of sounds.  Included a few of his own productions, e.g. The Exciters and Sydney Barnes. Some nice upbeat 70’s: Barbara Lynn: “Movin’ On a Groove” and Flame n King. Some cross over magic by Minnie Jones “Shadow of a Memory”. A few classic oldies: The De-Lites and Patti and the Emblems. Even threw in a late Casino Searling track “Alfie Davison”.

    A controversial figure, but no doubting his contribution to the scene. His question-and-answer session at the end was interesting. He certainly wanted to get things off his chest, settle a few scores and defend his legacy.  A few nice anecdotes especially the one about playing the Carstairs for the first time, arguably the first cross over tune. And a sign of what was to come at the Mecca and the latter period at the Casino.
