Wasn't really sure where to put this.

I have come across a photo of the Dewsbury Soulies and wondered if anyone knew any names?

The photo was taken in Scarborough.

I have remastered the photo so looks a lot better than the original.

and before you say it I know the guy 2nd bottom right is the spit of a young David Walliams

I bet Selby's Paul Temple (then based at a Scarboro bank & DJing locally) could name a couple of em .....

... Kegsy should know some as well (I bet they all knew to steer clear of him !!).

Heheh! Thanks. There are loads on there that I know the faces of but can't put names to. I know quite a few of them used to come to the Central back in the day.

I think the guy right at the back with 2 fingers is called Phil from Halifax, been to the Central recently Steve

also the girl on the end right third row to the right of the girl with the white scarf is from Bradford maybe one of Sue Bushbys mates..

All so familiar Pete aren't they? The more you look at them the more you recognise them.

Without a doubt. So with Dranny as a Walliams lookalike, where's the only gay in the village???

Steve

The girl with the scarf,directly behind the guy on the front row with glasses and green shirt is Maureen from Dewsbury.She used to hang around with Lesley and Adele frm York

Hi Pete

Guy at the back with fingers ( peace sign ) is Jack Kennedy ex Leeds and Hightown lad , believe it or not his dad took me Annie and Jack to Wigan in January 74 cos Jack's mate let us down his Ford Escort was knackered and Jack's dad had a brand new Skoda , his dad sneeked into Casino and stopped all night with the coach drivers bloody hilarious that was.

More names to follow

Martyn

I have no idea who any of these people are, but just wanted to say that it's a brilliant photo! Look at them all - full of youth, excitement and energy! It's brilliant. No, it's better than that, it's absolutely classic!

Hi Dranny

thanks for pointing that out mate, wasnt sure just thought it looked like him. I'd stopped going to Scarboro about that time, getting sick of being pulled into cars by the DS when wandering round town..had some quality days in the Salisbury though didnt we?

Is that Nick (Currie) who is now married to Sheila (Fitzpatrick) originally from Southport area that was and now living in Birstall?

Julian,

That's the wrong Nikki Currie - the one in the photo is Nicky from Cleckheaton, a pal of Paul Smith and Twink. The bloke second from right on front row is Sid from (I think) Cleckheaton or somewhere near by.

Hope you are both well - looking forward to seeing you at Denby Dale in January!

Steph

Us Whitcliffe Mount Grammar boys could always pull 'em!!!

Hi Steph as well.

Julian

Martyn,

Sorry I thought it looked like Nikki and like Sid. Did see Nikki a few years ago at Alan Richardson's daughter's 21st (do you know him he's from Norristhorpe originally?). Have not seen Sid since about 1976 though so forgive me for mistaken identities!! Don't remember you but maybe you knew my first husband Twink. We met at Central. give my regards to Nikki please.

Steph

Just noticed a post from Ian Dewhirst on this thread - I knew you as Frank back in the day. Do you remember me Ian I was married to Twink? I'm Steph.

Hi Steph

No problem it did look like Nicky still see him now and again , sadly Sid passed away a few years ago .Yes I knew Alan and Dave his brother who also knocked about with Ian ( Twink ) Bottomley , bumped into Ian at Brid weekender this year, not seen him for about 35 years or so , remember The Taurus in Huddersfield on Sunday nights and one or two alldayers too with the infamous Frank n Twink deejaying , both had great collections.

Happy days

Hey up Ian

Still got an original flyer for the first Taurus all dayer when you used to list all the top names of the big records of the day , was weird at times going upstairs to get yer drinks and all those guys with pork pie hats staring at you as you went to the bar .

Good times tho

Martyn

Hi Steph

you sure Kegsy?

Edited November 14, 201212 yr by PeteDillon

Staying in the general area, does anyone remember this? I know I played at it, but the memory of it is quite dim.

Can anyone shed any light?

And here's the 'Taurus' flyer.

With big tunes from 'Lems Guess' and 'Guy Dariel'

Edited November 14, 201212 yr by Steve Luigi

Edited November 14, 201212 yr by PeteDillon

Hi Martyn,

Oh dear didn't know about Sid. I know all those people you mention. Have seen Twink too. I have also seen Alan recently but not David his brother although do know he lives near Scarbrough and still married to Suzanne (Howard Hardcastle's sister) - cant recall you though Martyn - sorry!

Hi Pete - looking forward to another Central all dayer soon - they are just sooooo good and its lovely to see all the caes from the past.

Frank (Ian) I can't remember the story re Saturday nights in Huddersfield and it might not be suitable to reiterate it here!

Steph x

Whoops it should say' faces from the past' Pete!

no you were right the first time..I think 'cases' is probably more accurate!!

hahaha told you Kegsy! new glasses time mate...hi Sue how you doing? coming to the next Central ? 23rd December

Kegsy needs a full body (& head) transplant ... not just new glasses.

I really can't remember exactly Pete, but obviously it will have been mid 70s'ish.
