Jem Brittin and myself were asked if we would do a private soul night for a 40th birthday in sleepy Stanwick in Northamptonshire. I was only able to get there for around 9.30 by which time a fair few people were dancing. Right in front of the decks was former Man Utd footballer Dion Dublin dancing away like a good un. There was also a strange guy dressed in a Zoot Suit wearing spats and a Fedora. I said to my Mrs 'Who does he think he is, Kid Creole?' Never thought too much more about it until Jem suddenly appeared with a record sleeve with writing all over it and announced that he had just got it signed by Kid Creole! It didn't end there. One of the guys on the dance floor who had come with Mr Creole turned out to be the main man from Odyssey, unreal!. All three were top blokes just having a good time but it made me wonder who people have spotted on the dance floor that were there purely for fun.

I know these guys were guests at a party so don't strictly qualify but thought this might be a bit of fun seeing who we might come up with.

Win, Karl Henry couldn't have appeared on Question Time anyway, he'd have got to the main door then gone backwards, gone back to the door and then gone sideways....for the next 90 minutes

I heard that was a bootleg looky likey Weller.

Nah, a couple of weeks later one of the two young girls he was with had her photo in the papers as they'd just got engaged.

Plenty down the 100 Club.

Back in 80's JoBoxers....or was it Fine Young Cannibals There should be a long list of some whop have frequented the 100 Club, Mark Lamarr, Paul Weller etc.....

Jo Boxers or fine young cannibals????? they all look the same to me too

Mani from the Stone Roses at one of our clubs, regular around 2004, Terry( the Manc ) Christian also... That Ginger soul singer too out about at soul clubs in the 90s round Manchester...

Always wondered about Kevin Rowland and Mark Almond? (not in that way)

ive heard a crackhead soap taxi driver djs funk and soul...and that he's terrible. probably too much rustle dust and yellow bentines. does this count.

Just spat me Ricicles out !!

John Parrot snooker player, Rick Astley singer both use to go to the nites at Newton Cricket Club

Indeed Rick Astley did - Friday nites at the Cricket Club - up those small set of stairs to listen to Kev Edwards and Richard Searling playing soul and funk brand new release's. Right out of his depth. Recall a story at Hott Wax Records in Warrington with a page 3 girl and Rick. But then Barry maybe able to clear this up!!!! As he has just posted in the wants section - Summertime ?

Ah right.. Remember of seeing pics on Facebook down the 100 Club, but it wasn't Weller..

Steve 'Interesting' Davis, potting a few records in his bag at Crowle soul night, back in late-80's.

And was a regular at Thorne's Canal Tavern and the Fleetwood and Southport weekenders. Played a mean game of golf with Mr Arthur Fenn too, back in the day.

No sign of Brad and Angelina yet....but I remain optimistic.
