Last Saturday night I attended a charity soul do at the Grimsby Memorial Hall ( Great to see Payo again ). Walking through the entrance hall my eye caught a poster on the wall advertising a mini Soul All Nighter at the South Bank Club in Grimsby on the May 23rd.

Guest DJ's- From the Twisted Wheel- Brian 45 Phillips and Scunthorpe's own Fred Benson plus GO-GO Dancers.

On closer inspection with my ailing eyesight, I noticed a small circled 69 in the right hand corner and 7/6 at the bottom.

I don't know who put the poster there but I bet it was some night. Can anyone recall this and any more pre 70 soul nights in Grimsby ?.

Hi Steve,

It was Tony Brown a wheel regular from Cleethorpes who put that event on it was 1970 not 69.

I didn't drive then and went by train changing at Rotherham I think their was about 50 people there.

I went back to Tonys flat after and found a couple of singles he'd just got that he wasm't mad keen on Moses Smith Girl across the street and Emanuel Laskey Peace loving man so I traded them and thats how they got started.

I wonder where Tony is now a great lad and one of the early big collectors.

Regards

Brian
