I'm affraid to say I was never that organised, the first 20 odd went out to people that helped get it off the ground, but after that could have been in any order, depending on weather I remembered to take the membership list with me or not.

If I didn't, would put on a higher number, record it and fill in the membership register when i got home. After that gaps would be filled in with postal applications.

Enthusiastic, always, organised, never!!!!!!

Hi Vince, Remember the Soul Power Nighters very well, used to hammer it up to Mansfield from Pompey in the back of Ray Gillens work van with a mattress in the back with Dicky. Happy days.

Mick, the Solid Hit Soul Club was Steve and I. You have a 'Gold' member card, issued to the first 50 (or to pals), the rest were pale blue like the label. We 'borrowed' (ahem) the idea from Rob Marriott & Jim Wensiora for their excellent Soul Power nighters.

Ruff Cut Soul Promotions was Allanton. I played at almost every one and only now find out Jim had membership cards!

Soul Time was the Clifton Hall, Rotherham

Connoisseurs Soul Club (bottom left, with a drawing of what was supposed to be 'a gentleman connoisseur type' but looked like a penguin in a car crash) - was Allan Johnston's nighters in Stafford (after TOTW closed).

Soultown - was that Guy & Co at Blackburn?

Mr Walls Sir,

You didn't think that I'd forgotten that the Solid Hit was you & Stevies did you or that Ruff Cut was Jims? Of course not.

I also remember that Soul Time was the Clifton Hall.

I'd forgotten abut the Connoisseurs one and I don't remember the Right Track one - was that was Glenrothes?

See you on 30th.

Mick

Was the Right Track for the YMCA as well Alan ? Was it you and Steve that ran the niter at the Exit Culb before the YMCA ?

Aye mate, we were still RTSC at the Glenrothes YM, and the 2 we had in the Exit Centre. Changed the name to the more cool/less naff Solid Hit Soul Club in anticpation of a new niter we were hoping to get off the ground after the YM had enough of us, but that failed to materialise. As SHSC we did soul nights in Kirkcaldy and a few dayers.

Are we acquainted, my good man?
