Cunnie Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 My 2nd nomination must go to none other than Mickey Moonshine. Turns out he can morph himself into Alvin Stardust, Chris Rainbow, Ben Cross, 3 blokes called Paul, Michael & Curtis, Paul Nicholas & some fellow who can run very fast & we still don't know who he is.

shuggie61 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I met Anita Harris on a train last year and was frothing at the mouth to her about her version of " The Clapping Song" - if you haven't heard it - it's a really oomphy big band version and deserves to be better known. She was such a sweetheart and a complete pro - she whipped out a photo of herself and signed it for me. I've got a copy of "The Playground" and it's pretty decent but...ya gotta hear "London Life" - a jazzy, moddy, beat ballad - sorry, that doesn't do it justice but seek it out...

Chris Anderton Posted June 5, 2011 Author Share Posted June 5, 2011 Thanks Guys, some really interesting stuff. To clarify, by "Strange" I was refering to artists like Ed Bruce who were famous in other genres but have a killer (or maybe not so killer!) Northern 45 which is at odds with what they are well known for. Keep `em coming! Chris 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Mike Lofthouse Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Always thought this was a bit strange. The ex drummer for the Shadows with Chase Side Shoot Up from 74.Jack Wardle from Middlesbrough told me he was selling this as a cover up for ages and was a big sound at one point.Brian Bennett was massively into Library session work for KPM,Bruton etc .My mind has it set as the golf theme but it looks as though that started in 1980. Ditto Mike Vickers and On The Brink.Mike Vickers being the saxophonist and flute player in Manfred Mann.He moved massively into session work and TV work....Captain Scarlet,Please Sir etc Can confirm this - Jack even got one of the Wigan dj's to play it covered up as the Checkerboard Squares or some such nonsense - as everyone knows Jack was a master scam merchant (as one of the scenes biggest promoters will confirm ). I went straight down to Alan Fearnleys and got a copy in case ! still have it. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

So do I, was on one of my podcasts last year, actually got asked to put it on another one about 2 weeks back after I deleted the first. Dunno if I'd class it as Northern though, it is quite beat-ballardish I suppose. Great record. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

My sister was given a tape back in about 74 with loads of top tunes of the day on it. One track was Toody, which I'd never heard at Wigan or anywhere at the time. Not long after I found about 4 mint Pye copies in a junk shop. Could I get rid of them? could I hell. Can't remember what I did with them, I probably buried them in one of those time capsules as a warning to future generations.Paul Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
