Swish is still living in York, not seen him for a few years but Helen told me he was well, before I left for NZ, I know Eric Smith sees him reqular but I dont think he has been to a Northern do in many years.

Will always regard Swish as the first to find & play Dean Parrish & the tale of him buying it from a lad at a bus station who was playing it on a discotron & buying it from him for a few bob then we all know what happend after that.

Great guy lotas a tales to tell & one of the classic characters of the early 70s.

I met Swish on the way back from the Mecca(me) at Hilon Park services,that night he had had his "new" cover up stolen! told me it was by Dean Parrish. So i totally agree that he was first to play/have it.

Remember the adverts from the Museum Hall of Soul Selby? Swish & friends always top sounds advertised.

Any one else remember soullies from all over the country,during the time between the Torch closing and Wigan opening , met up on the services to mke the night last longer and keep the crack going!

Those really were the good old days!

Hi

Swish is a regular listener and alway sends in requests to my station www.northernsoulradio.co.uk also if you go to the "message board" section of the site, you will be able to leave a message for him as he is often on there chatting to other listeners.

The first DJ I heard play I'm On My Way was Glen Bellamy at Shades in Northampton around 1971 ish

Cheers
