te] Hi Andy a good few years ago ,I found a tune in Philadelphia by Harvey and the Jokers for $10 It made it and is fairly rare,whether you like it or not ,loads of people dance to it ,Still?Sold the dancer for £1200.A bit more than I paid ......! Owner of the label ,some time ago ,had no more copies! Ask Ian Cunliffe.ATB Stevie Z

I played Pressure-Drizabone at Keele in 1997 in the main room.

I played the last ever record at the P'boro all nighters in 1976-Bobby Hutton-Lend a hand.

I played a c up at the 100 club which fortnum and spencer told me was massive, collected it en route played it and it was awful, it was in fact MATT MUNRO....strange thing is three punters actually danced to it before I tool it off.

Absolutely no claim here....

I bought a record off Ady C once.

100 CLUB

Ady C with big promotion on his latest c/u he was about to spin, AC plays said record ten seconds later I was informing him it was on UK DECCA and I had been spinning it in North Wales for about 20 years, AC reaction, someone always does this to me.

PHOENIX ALL NITER - HOLYHEAD

3am I had just played the last record of my spot, having annonced the next DJ, when the police raided the place and shut us down, hence I played the very last record at our unlicenced allnighter by default, real shame as it was a cracker of a venue

Got a copy of a really dire 12" electro record from North Carolina. The company packed it with two mint copies of Glenda McCloud. Kept one swapped the other to Ian Clark and he broke it.

I appear in the inside cover of the CD "Reaching for the Best - the Northern Soul of Blackpool Mecca".I'm the one holding the 'Ronn' Demo. And sporting a bow tie becuse you had to have a tie to get past the bouncers at the Mecca.

Got stoned with Marv Johnson......

My dad is Kenny Lynch..He could be dad a few times me thinks..The story goes that he and Tony Blackburn have slept with 5,000 women... ..Dirty buggers..

I used to do a novelty ventriloquy act but instead of a dummy I had the wife sit on my knee. Less lifelike than a dummy but cheaper. I was in the Holiday Inn, Lansing doing my act and I noticed one young lady glaring at me from the audience. After the performance she came up to me and told me that my act was demeaning to women, and despite trying to defuse the situation she became abusive and threatening, telling me that if I ever talked out of my wife....

Yes, that young lady was Dena Barnes!!!!

Quality Rod ,Quality.....

Shared a couple of pints of Guinness with Martha Reeves, on a wet and windy Tuesday night in Chorlton-Cum-Hardy ,Manchester...many stories told, many tunes sung......surreal.....

I head butted Betty Lavette at Cleethorpes, totally by accident of course.

And shared a packet of fags with Harvey Scales when he was at the 100 Club.

Cheers

Cunnie, that is uncanny as I was going to relate the story of the time Candi Statton saw my act at the Holiday Inn,Macon. She too asked me:

"Now,what you got up her,a hand?"

My hand was of course holding the strings that opened and closed her mouth. Just wish I had those strings today.

Great

In my days living in the toon i had a good soulie mate called Paolo whose family owned Santinos pizzeria on the big market in Newcastle, one evening i was in there with friends when through the door came a guy called Howard, a big doorman from the town who also doubled as a bodyguard for big acts that went to the City hall, behind him came a short but large bottomed lady...who was in fact Chaka Khan..Poalo got her later that evening to sing along to a couple of her tracks...priceless... she talked to everyone in there she was great..mind you there was only 15 people in

Paolo if you get on here drop me a line

Geeoooordie

Gerry Marshall spoke to me once, He said...........STOP PUSHING AT THE BACK!!!!!!

As a young lad on his first visit to Yate i asked IAN CLARK if he would play "George Carrow - Angel Baby"

his reply was "HAVE YOU FUCKIN' GOT IT " put me off DJ's for life !!!!

Now i'm older & ever so slightly wiser, i wonder if it was near the end of his spot ??

Tim Westwood is my more famous DJ brother.

Vivienne Westwood was my auntie.

Clint Eastwood is my favorite actor.

Beat that!

Bought a record of John Manship once, and sold it at a profit. Sorry John

Gerry Marshall spoke to me once, He said...........STOP PUSHING AT THE BACK!!!!!!

As I was escorted out of the casino by some friendly neighbourhood lawmen, Mike Walker screamed at me "You're banned for life, never come back". A couple of months later he said "I haven't seen you for a while, have you been away" .(I wasn't banged up, just grounded )
