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 :thumbsup: )

my claim to fame is that i was the person who persuaded edwin starr to change the lyrics to 'war'.

i collared him as he came off stage in 1989 and explained what war was good for.

if you listen to live tapes recorded from 1990 onwards, you'll hear edwin sing: 'war...what is it good for? kicking invading armies out of your country, or stealing resources from weaker countries...yeah! wo-oh-wo-oh-wo-oh.'

Edwin Starr did a gig at Clitheroe Castle bandstand in the 80s. I decided in my drunken state that i'd do a one man stage invasion.

Broke my nose and lost a tooth on the way back down as I was assisted by the security. Edwin bollocked them. Still got the photo of me shaking his hand on stage somewhere

Went to see Edwin Star years ago. My wife really neeed to get to the loo and not knowing her way round this particular venue see`s a pink door and try`s it. It`s locked so she gets me to barge it open. took a couple of goes but when it finally does there`s poor old Edwin in there ( it was his dressing room) absolutley shitting himself. Thought it was the mafia comming for him or something. unsure.gif

First person in my school year to: Go to an all nighter (CWG 76), get a made to measure suit, get up and dance to the flasher at the school disco, have a northern soul patch on my yellow fred perry, own a copy of out on the floor, and finally substitute getting o'levels for becoming a proper northern soul fan.

You've either got it or you haven't.

One night at Morecombe I asked Brian Rae if there was any danger of him playing some Northern Soul instead of that Rock n Roll he played the last time I was there.

He dedicated every tune in his set to me. None of the dedications could be repeated in polite company.

Wanna` bet.... :D
The bouncers usually use me to clear a venue at the end of the night.

All I have to do is approach the stragglers and they disappear as if by magic :hypo:

My brother was the one responsible for the hole in the pier at Morecambe (note, not as frequently claimed in the dancefloor, but on the main entrance on the way in)

On the scooter rally that year going into the do we noticed a loose floorboard near the entrance. Having had a few pints he decided to jump up and down on it. Being 16 1/2 stone it wasn't long till he went through it. Up to his knees.

From what I've since heard, the council sent experts underneath and they decided the whole of the wood was rotten and dangerous. And closed the pier

My small role in this? 'Go on Gaz, jump on it again' :unsure:

I'm related (second cousin) to a True Northern Soul Hero, Irish showband leader Phil Coulter ' A Good thing Going' just the sort of instrumental clip clop every Northern Fan loves (or maybe not).

Me and my mate Des did first spot at 100 club years ago and opened with 'Up up and away in my beautiful balloon' by the Impressions, that is until Ady came running down the stairs shouting 'What the f*** are you doing - people are leaving in droves', some people have no taste.

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

I thought you had three , and the third went to Dave Thorley , and thus that wonderous record went down in the history of the legendary Stafford Allnighter . I think it even made the CD comp.. The Stafford Story ?

:thumbsup:
