Cover Ups ........

Once the de rigeur of the soul scene , but now a rare occurance due to the knowledge of its' clientele , has led me to contemplate the following related questions .........

What was the longest a record was covered before its' true artist / artists and title were revealed , and were / are there any still languishing under a ficticious name and title , that escaped detection ?

Ady C has been playing 'Why Can't It Be Tonight' covered as Gerri Grainger for more than 15 years. I thought he'd said who it was once or twice, but on later questioning, seems I may have been mistaken.

Didnt think he knew who it was mate.

Think I've got everything from the TAC Weekenders. Here's the program for the acts from the first wekender, 1989.....

I bet you ain't got the 4 Tops posters from behind the counter when they performed live with Ben E. King?

err nope, got the flyers, programs, patches etc.....ow about a scan?

I was on stage with Chris Plant (in my role as advisor in regard to play order), at the Fleet in Peterborough some time in '80. Kev Draper was on next and played Richards Joe Matthews monster c/u, uncovered(The Group feat Cecil Washington).

That created quite a stir to say the least

I agree !! They were fab weekenders at the Vauxhall.

I was rooting through some papers the other night & came across the official programmes & my membership cards (yep Im a hoarder). Wow ! it took me back. The first programme from March 90 is bright yellow & a bit basic (which is understandable as it was the first weekender) The 2nd programme is of better quality & has stood the test of time. However I do cherish both programmes equally as both weekenders were fab & a real warm up for the wonderful weekenders that were to come at Beacholme in Cleethorpes !

Right back to the subject matter ..... I'm afraid I cant help you out with any C/U's whatsoever so its over & out from me (thank god you say). Cheers Jim for making me smile again about the TAC weekenders.
